The veteran of 106 MLB games over parts of six seasons had been pitching more or less successfully at AAA, but he grew tired of waiting for the Mets' starting rotation attrition to open up an opportunity for him, and so exercised that option. The Mets, legally obliged to oblige, obliged. Peña threw the first seven innings of a combined no-hitter back in 2019. He was also reported to regularly throw his lunch against the wall while in Syracuse, as well as attempting to hijack the team bus. It's what I heard.

I usually have to pay good money for that sort of sexy Dom Chiti action.

I do like the idea of pimping out the naming rights in exchange for un-pimping the voting process, but I imagine it would still be a hard sell to MLB without them coming back with, "We'll do both."

To judge by appearances, the special seating erected behind Cleon was reserved for service members, including what appear to be a group of young wounded vets returned from the field. Props to any adult wheelchair-bound fan who still brings his glove to the game. https://pbs.twimg.com/media/C5ybgGfVAAAMpCC.jpg:large>

Neither of the "Mets from Mobile" were actually literally from Mobile. Tommie Agee was born in Magnolia, a tiny unincorporated community and actually closer to Montgomery. Cleon Jones was from Pleateau/Africatown (aka AfricaTown) just north of town. The 1969 Met who literally hailed from Mobile was Amos Otis. The city of Mobile and surrounding area are nonetheless ridiculously fertile as far as producing baseball greats, analogous to San Pedro de Marcoris. Just counting Hall-of-Famers (and only those born within city limits), you've got Hank Aaron, Ozzie Smith, Willie McCovey, and Satchell Paige. A whole lot of Tommy Davises supplement those four, and once you bring in the outlying communities, you've got a powerhouse. Birmingham is almost as scary if you give them Willie Mays, born just west of the city in Westfield. Current Met and future Hall-of-Famer Locke St. John is also a Birmingham native.

Here's a fun thing. Pick two random celebrityish people and let them pick the teams. Folks big enough that they could lend some fun to the game, but not so big that the headache and the blowback would actually not be worth it. Patton Oswalt's National Leaguers vs. Parker Posey's American Leaguers. Or, you can just let the managers or the league pick the guys. But really, the issue isn't the way it's done, so much as why it's done the way it is — which is, as we've recorded above, for sponsorship and $$. It's not unheard of for an organization to give up a revenue stream, but it's damned rare, and if there's going to be any change, we've got to realize that's what we're up against, and focus on the real issue.

Strange how he tends to call ejections "injections."

"Tough dismount for Bradley."

None of this has a direct impact on the MLB roster, but a lot of fancy footwork has been transpiring the last day and a half.

Somehow, by late June, you're wondering how foolish it might be to hope that Jacob deGrom can somehow step in for Tylor Megill. But the real curiosity here, if not the most impactful transaction of the day, is Mr. Kramer Robertson. It's hard not to see some gamesmanship in the Mets grab here. Kramer had been pulled off the waiver wire from the Cards by the Braves just three weeks earlier. With Ozzie Albies already hurt, there's got to be some value in the Mets grabbing a piece off the Braves' second base depth chart, even a guy with just one MLB plate appearance. Kramer's middle name is "Reid," so apparently his family just doesn't know how first names even work. Kramer hails from Waco, Texas, which has already gifted the world Jessica Simpson, Lance Berkman, and Steve Martin, but a Civil War buff like Keith Hernandez might tell you that Waco also was the birthplace of the only Texas-born Confederate Civil War general, Brigadier General Felix Huston Robertson, who was unsurprisingly something of a prick. We all have malefactors in our family tree, but I can't help but wonder if Felix Huston is in Kramer Reid's.

If somebody is going to escape my notice in baseball (and Dom Chiti has), assistant pitching coach of the Angels is the way to do it.

It is all about sponsorship, and that's why repetitive voting has been encouraged for decades. Except, now we get to look at ads on the screen instead of on the paper ballot. I agree that I want none of it. I remember a game when a pile of ballots were displayed and we were encouraged to take one, so my friend Martin and I each took 50. Instead of stuffing the box for the Mets or something, we punk voted. Martin would fill out a ballot of ALL PLAYERS WITH DUTCH-SOUNDING NAMES and a second ALL PLAYERS WITH JEWISH-SOUNDING NAMES. I get even more off the ranch and wrote in Glenn Braggs for each position in the American League, and maybe Mark Lemke for every position in the National League. This obviously got old fast, but it was probably the last time I "voted."

I'd name a song or two I knew (and maybe even kind of liked) and ask if it was part of the set list. They never seemed to know. There are playlists of most every Grateful Dead concert at https://www.setlists.net/https://www.setlists.net/ and elsewhere. You can also find audio of most of their concerts at https://archive.org/details/GratefulDeadhttps://archive.org/details/GratefulDead I understand that the setlists are available online, but these conversations typically occurred in the 1980s and early 1990s, and I really was just making polite conversation.

Eduardo!

Sorry to be late to the game. When Jason Bay smashed into the left field wall trying to corral a deep drive by then-Red Jay Bruce, he was knocked silly by the collision as Bruce circled the bases for an inside-the-park homer. As Bay was removed from the game and slowly escorted off the field by teammates and trainers, a small but meaningful wave of boos accompanied him, some boobirds joining the chorus slowly as the scene progressed, emboldened by the first wave. Maybe several Mets stood up for their teammate. Maybe David Wright and R.A. Dickey gathered a throng of writers around their lockers to discourse on how disappointed they were with Mets fans, but the guy I remember was Jon Fucking Rauch going on a Twitter tear later that evening, back when the 140-character limit forecably tempered your tweeting posture, hammering out in a string of four or so tweets how thoughtless and shitty those fans were being. My other automatic memory of Jon Rauch, besides the hugeness and the neck tats, is that I know that his name is pronounced John ROWSHE, but every time I read it, my mind mentally pronounces it as Jon RAWK, before I mentally correct myself.

His voice is getting kinda squeaky, too.

St. Lucie, now the lowest of the Mets' full-season minor league teams, has thus far been the most successful in 2022. A 40-25 (.615) record in the first half handily clinched for them first place in The Florida State League East Division, 5.5 games ahead of The Jupiter Marlins. The second half version of the team hasn't quite gotten with the program, starting the season 0-3. Today's loss to Palm Beach extended the team's winless hangover, but it very nearly featured a highlight that I've been hoping to see for a long time, with Omar de los Santos attempting the rare feat of attempting to steal second, third, and home in succession in one trip around the bases. Santos completed the first two attempts, but came up short in attempt #3, as he tried to sneak home when Carlos Dominguez, who walked behind him, broke for second. Palm Beach saw it coming and fired the ball home to catch Omar in a rundown. I don't know that any Met has ever pulled this feat off at the MLB level. It was mostly known to have occurred in the Dead Ball Era, and for the longest time, it was assumed that Ty Cobb had done it the most. While that would be a darn good guess, a researcher took up the challenge and dug through the boxscores and accounts and pretty solidly established that the all-time leader is, in fact, John "Honus" Wagner." De Los Santos has been no small part of the team's success this season, and the two steals that he did pull off were numbers 42 and 43 on the season, 14 higher than the next-best in the league, and more than twice what MLB leader Jon Berti has compiled. His .824 OPS also leads the team since infielder Shervyen Newton was rewarded for his torrid start (.923 in 24 games) and rewarded with a promotion to Brooklyn. Also rewarded with a trip to World-famous Coney Island has been starting pitcher Mike Vasil. Vase started eight games with the Lucies, going 35 innings and compiling a deGromian 1.80 ERA. He struck out 37 and walk 11 in that period, and he'd really like to hear you cheering him on from your seats out at the ocean. Killing it out of the pen had been Nathan Lavender. The Purple Herb, since (say it one more time!) promoted to Brooklyn, threw 18 2/3 innings for the Lucies to the tune of a 0.48 ERA. He struck out 30 and walked 11 over that period, so, you know, contact was not a common thing. The team looks to get back to their winning ways for the second half on Tuesday, hosting Jupiter.

Otañez and/or Montes de Oca might well be September Mets worth springing on the league in the midst of the playoff run. If not, Otañez is certainly going to be added to the roster in the off-season. They throw 204 miles per hour between them, and they'd never survive Rule 5-age. It's the sort of speed that makes a team overlook, 5+ ERAs. MdO probably won't be eligible, but I'm almost certain that Otañez will be.

Ploob.

McCan't. McCouldn't.

I guess Nick Plummer is the default choice in the pinch-running department. Tempting, but not an automatic. Escobar shoulda escobunted.

Davis joining the Company of the Aggressive.

The Big Hunt still untainted.

Also big is the weight on Tommy Hunter's perfect shoulders.

This isn't trending toward the seven-run victory I ordered.
