Who gets to wear a glove first? Mark Vientos or Daniel Vogelbach?

Moving Friday up and pushing two games to Sunday seemed to me like it was going to be the plan they go for. I'm not thinking it's going to work and this may be a one-game series. Things don't just return to normal after a hurricane. They may end up stuck in town.

From whom?

It's interesting how there seems to be hard ceilings in there for a few guys. Straw hit 39 twice. Delgado hit 38 twice. Kingman hit 37 twice.

Yeah, let's throw something to Diaz, too. McNeil's two hits allowed him to re-engage with the fringes of the batting average race. Frustrating to watch Vogelbach and Naquin go down looking like that. Vogelback has maybe the quickest bat on the team, so it's always a kick to the gut to watch him go down looking. They'll wipe the floor with this team tomorrow.

Tough night for the Tuesday Night Mets Club.

Down to the final out, having to pick a pinch-hitter for McCann is seeming like it would be a good problem to have.

If the Mets get a couple of guys on, it might be a tough choice between the lefty (Guillorme) or pop (Ruf) for who is going to bat for McCann.

But we're getting watchy-watchy Vogelbach tonight.

I'd be steaming at the pitcher if he didn't get the message and change his motion to make an unambiguous stop. Rocky didn't. Excuse-me double aside, looks like Diaz isn't as flat as I might have feared.

The guy was being arrogant and daring the ump to call it again. Umpie wasn't bluffing.

Gutsy umping!!!

Yeah, this guy's motion isn't changing. If those are balks (and they certainly are, technically), his next two pitches were also.

A very balky plate appearance. Maybe he has one more of those in him.

Blevins' replacement for (most of) that season was Álex Torres, who was mostly fine, but never really showed any special anti-lefty skillz. Sanchez' replacement was supposed to be Roberto Hernandez, but really turned out to be Guillermo Mota, who they got after the deadline, a few weeks later.

Blevins has been a strong presence this evening. Stronger than any Zeile or Recker game I remember.

I almost forgot that we were waiting on Marte. Mets strangely haven't made a transaction in a week.

Alonso is indeed on the verge having more homers in a season than any Met who isn't him, and his pace is accelerating.

Blevins is right. Mistakes by outfielders not being counted as errors makes no sense.

Well, that's a nice little hole.

She's part of a viral marketing scheme to plug a new horror movie, so I'm sure Paramount is footing the bill.

Crazy. A rare at-bat for Soupcan, but he takes Kershaw out of the park.

Well, that's not my position, but I'm simply suggesting that the the Braves have far more pressure to deliver on what they've sold.
