Time to start inflating that bouncy castle!

=kcmets post_id=107974 time=1663638519 user_id=53] Did you not see the home run?

It feels like somebody forgot to tell Milwaukee that the Brewers are in a playoff race.

Max Scherzer: "If you've got to pull me with a perfect game, Buck, then that's what you've got to do. But next time, I get to pick who relieves me." I'm glad Keith corrected himself on that "Officer Muldoon" business. He and I were about to have words.

These guys talking about who gets cut as Megill establishes himself in the pen, while Megill says "Not so fast."

A heckuva play by Buck going to Megill here.

If any of the relievers need a visit to the mound, Jeremy Hefner should just sit still and send Scherzer out.

Max Scherzer has skillz.

Kelly Gruber has law offices.

Vogelzoik has one career triple (achieved this season as a Pirate), zero career steals, and zero career steal attempts. That's a man that stays in his lane.

Booo! I wanted a Vogeltriple!!

I jinxed McNeil's destiny..

Time for a McNeil triple.

Man, we're getting an economical pitching performance here. Willets Point wrote: My son is chastising Gary Cohen for breaking baseball superstition. Gary has a little bit of a chip on his shoulder when it comes to bursting bursting flights of fancy.

¡Me gusta el honrón!

Hit-'n'-ruz rool.

No rest for the weary.

This continues the tour of Daniel Vogelbach's former teams. Vogelbach once hit a walkoff pinch-hit grand slam as a Brewer. Walkoff, pinch-hit, grand slam. The only things that could make that sweeter would be if (a) there were two outs, and ( the Brews were down by three. Oh, wait. They were down by three. Only one out keeping it from being the most dramatic homer possible. [media=youtube]lXX_tlyCS-Y[/media]

Hey, come on! No sheet cake?

Related question: With new roster rules and DH nonsense keeping benches short even until September, will celebrations be more muted as teams can no longer field a full hangover lineup the next day, or will we see some day-after teams with a half the guys unfit for duty?

Why does that Gallo tie illustration have a fat guy running the bases with the head of a long-necked woman growing out of his arm?

As the Mets close in on the not-that-coveted hit-batsmen record, it's worth noting that it's not an all-time record at all-but a modern record, with the all-time mark seemingly out of reach, at least this season. This state of things is the product of the storied 1890s Baltimore squad, who pretty much own the top seven slots. The lone exception are the 1899 Brooklyn Superbas — who, you won't be shocked to learn, were led by Ned Hanlon who defected to Brooklyn after eight years running the Orioles. That the Mets might invade this territory is almost an insult to Hanlon, who clearly ran the show like he was Morris Buttermaker skippering an entire team of Rudy Steins. Anyhow, the Mets are one plunk short of the all-time top 10, and three shy of the modern record. Batsmen Hit on a Single Team in a Season 1) 1898 Baltimore Orioles: 160 2) 1899 Brooklyn Superbas: 125 3) 1899 Baltimore Orioles: 122 4) 1896 Baltimore Orioles: 120 5) 1897 Baltimore Orioles: 115 2022 New York Mets Projected to End of season: 111.65 6) 1891 Baltimore Orioles: 111 7) 1895 Baltimore Orioles: 106 8) 2021 Cincinnati Reds: 105 9) 2021 Los Angeles Dodgers: 104 10) 2008 Cleveland Indians: 103 11) 2022 New York Mets: 102 12) 2018 Tampa Bay Rays: 101 13) 1997 Houston Astros: 100 14) 1894 Baltimore Orioles: 98 15) 2021 Oakland Athletics: 98

Six up and six down with five strikeouts in the major leagues isn't luck.

Lucchesi's first AAA appearance nets 2 2/3 scoreless, one-hit innings. Two earned runs in nine innings across three levels.
