  1. The Law of Unintended Consequences really kicked into overdrive. Joe Torre chose Bob Gibson to replace Willie as the living legend coach in the dugout. Ater the Mets selected Roger Clemens in the 12th Round of the 1981 draft out of community college, Gibson supposedly gave him a negative scouting report when the Mets invited him to work out for them in Houston, and the Mets (again, supposedly) opted not to sign him (or, perhaps, simply not meet his asking price) largely based on that report. History might have been very different. I mean, how stunningly embarrassing would it have been if Piazza had that bat thrown at him by a teammate?
  2. Who do you think so painted him? Management? Beat writers? Joe Rogan? Because he's still there, and Alonso and McNeil are gone.
  3. A notable portion of the volume that missing is a bizarre lack of wins during that period because of lack of support from the Mets offense and bullpen. Pitcher wins are grossly over-rated, of course, but they stand as mileposts, and the convenient shorthand they provide still tells voter whether to open the book and dig deeper.
  4. Probably, but his story isn't done yet, and I wouldn't put it past him to try to pitch until he's 45 in pursuit of enough wins to put any doubts to bed.
  5. Who do you think Morel is going to replace? Presumably, Robert knocks Mauricio off the roster but I'm not sure there's a spot for Morel, unless and until selloffs start happening.
  6. Imma stick with small sample size before the injury. He's started slow before. I'm more concerned that he's on the block, and the Mets have certainly given him enough reason to waive his no-trade rights.
  7. I'd probably choose "loaded."
  8. "A pitcher pitching one inning, the next pitcher pitching three innings, and then the next pitcher pitching five innings — I've never seen that." — Ron Darling "You've seen it the other way around — five, three, one." — Gary Cohen "Yeah, all the time." — Ron Darling Dudes, you saw it happen just a few days ago. Even the broadcasters are sleepwalking here.
  9. I was thinking just now that Baty isn't long for this team, and then he got a one-out single, which is an outburst in a game like this one. But I also get the idea that Andy Green is something of a Baty champion — especially at second base.
  10. New strategy — let 'em hit a bunch of gappers and throw them out at second.
  11. There was a time when, if you hit one off the wall, unless your last name was Staub, you were guaranteed at least a double.
  12. Like Manaea and Senga before him, Peralta is a different guy from inning to inning. Like they leave it all on table dominating folks and then they've got nothing in the tank after that.
  13. Benge probably could have had three bags there, but played it safe.
  14. I can't care a bit about trade value. Today is all that is guaranteed. And only kinda. Justin Willard and Jared Young are the Mets house Canadians. They should have called up Jonah Tong and then they could have been the home team today.
