I don't think Schmidt has anything left. He looks like of like what Robertson looked like when the Phils went to him a second game in a row.

Hell might have been averted if the Mets made their plays.

And Pete was too aggressive. That was Marte's ball. And now it costs the Mets the go-ahead run.

A very bunty evening.

Hey, Steve Gelbs, never tell me the odds.

Not sure why Baty didn't tag. If that ball is gone, he walks home. If it drops, it's little more than a trot home.

=vtmet7 post_id=105119 time=1661291124 user_id=80] is it time for 184 yet? Brett Benny Ayala Baty is making McCann seem like a MLB hitter...and meanwhile the guy that he bypassed is the milb player of the week

Torres seemed to lose track of where Pete was so went for the out at 2B If there's a second cutoff, it's the firstbaseman's job. If he's positioned there by design, that's a waste of a player.

We can't let a day go by without a transaction, and today is the day the Mets retain their Clay.

Kiner-Falefa had one job there — to be standing on second.

Wow. Mets screw up and Yankees screw up worse.

That's one back, anyhow. Baty was sort of hung out to dry, but I've seen better slides by my uncle wiping out on the dancefloor at a wedding.

Man, Taiweezy is fighting himself.

Ball four to Donaldson there was a strike. In fact, that's the pitch he ought to have thrown to Judgy if he had to throw a fastball.

Agreed. That pitch never really had much of a chance.

And the wrong 99 wins.

We have some rare 99-on-99 action here.

McNeil seems to be getting better on the turn all the time.

Let's stick with Venezuela, only going with hitters this time. Name the top 10 Venezuelan home run hitters, along with the top five Venezuelan base stealers in MLB history. One guess per post. No guessing in consecutive posts. If you have received an answer from the quizmaster, you may guess/post again, even if no one else has answered. Please specify, in your guess if you are guessing a player on the Slugger list or the Speedster list. In the spirit of the title of this thread, feel free to think on it overnight and guess tomorrow. Yadda, yadda, yadda ... good luck!

That's our fourth.

Foli is one of our card sharks! Ellis, if he was in camp with the Expos, likely would have been rookie (and a teenager) himself, as he didn't debut until the next season, so not Ellis.

Not Pepe. He may be a touch colder, but no more than a degree. Perceptible, but only by the most thermosenstiive.

Taijuan returns to the lineup, along with Tomás. The rest of the lineup is pretty stable, with the Mets still riding Canha's hotness and Tyler Naquin still riding pine.
