Yes, I'd've asked Guillorme to bunticle.

This McNeil-homer-and-Alonso-single regime could be interesting. Unfortunately, it started the day Alonso was moved back behind McNeil.

I paid $$ for an ESPN streaming account just to watch this game and it's not streaming, and anger consumes me.

There's the Vogelbadness. Mebbe should have pinch-hit him with the bases loaded instead of batting Álvarez, but I've got to let some things go.

Well, there's that low fastball thing happening again. Cutter, anyhow. Though it didn't cut much.

YNaGaYTYAWYW, YNaBaYTYAWYL,

This reads like Aaron Judge is outside cooby's window.

Alonso back in the cleanup spot as well. Braves go with the exact same squad.

The Mets winning is them controlling their own destiny, baby.

I think you can also observe what prospects can do while they are in the minors. The lost opportunity here was giving up on J.D. Davis, but that ship has sailed and this is where the team is now.

Ffaflglsnakms.

If the walk or hit-by-pitch ain't happening Cahna, let's see you reach by bunt. Let's not invest ourselves in swinging at compost in the ninth.

Mets are flailing at garbage.

I'm not really sure how catchers get involved in rundowns between first and second, or pitchers between third and home. Dat's not the way I was taught.

Man, that inning could have shown a little more inspiration.

Still on the Mets bench: Gore Guillorme McCann Vientos.

Former Jets tight end Konrad Reuland died from a massive aneurysm at just 29. He had attended school with Carew's daughters and his family had his heart and kidney donated to Carew, among other organs that went elsewhere.

Poofiddles.

The last time I saw forearms that big in a Met uniform, it was on Andres Gallaraga in spring training.

That's a punch in the wrong direction.

I feel like he's the inspiration for Lee Mazzill's batting stance, except Mazzilli might have been as relaxed with the upper half, but Carew was relaxed in the legs too.

Another thing I haven't picked up until now: Scherzer has horizontal clefts across his earlobes.

I berate you, infield shift.
