There is no Jersey. There is only Zuul.

I also would have preferred Canha to Davis.

Ploop.

And Doovis flies out. Nimmo at the plate with three hits, and Lindor is the tying run on double deck.

Davis batting for Neato. I'd use Jankowski here, and keep J.D. in my back pocket. We need baserunners.

And McNeil follows! Tying run on dubble-deck!

And Eduardo knocks a hit!

Ninth inning with an 0-for-20 hitter up. Right where we want 'em.

=Gwreck post_id=92019 time=1652319223 user_id=56] Need an extra base hit here from Starling.

It'd be a good game for the Mets not to pack their bats away after the second inning.

It'd be a good game for Dom Smith to get plugged back in.

Howie Rose talking smack about Nationals Park.

Gosh, that's a tough night.

I also wish there was some way that baserunning achievments could make a meaningful difference in an 8-3 game.

No, this is a new beard. I only wish that batting average was augmented by some baserunning achievements.

Guillorme hitting .379 since lopping the beard off.

And he doesn't. Mets down 5-3. Serves me right for leaving the "Strange-" out of Strange-Gordon's name.

And then some. If he can't get Gordon here, his night may be over.

I'm not a sculptor (and I don't play one on TV), but if you replace both digits, an imperfectly matching patina may be a way to make a virtue of necessity, allowing his number to pop a little, and toss a few chips in the direction of celebrating players through their digits. It's a practice I mostly think has gone way overboard (I mean, Citi's Jackie Robinson sculpture is just a big pair of digits), but if it's likely to be a subtle difference anyhow, and it'll give the back view of the statue a little more to look at. A little color contrast isn't a sin if there's an internal logic to it. http://offbeat.group.shef.ac.uk/statues/images/baseball/Robinson_Brooks_2A.jpg> (Calbert?)

The sculptor speaks to that in the interview. He seems to think it's doable but might be counterproductive. I would love it.

I like this. Meaningful distinctions! Although, if there's no Central New Jersey, you might want update its https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Central_JerseyWikipedia page to note its non-existence.

Showalter: You hear that men? We need to SURPASSS!! Canha: YEAH!! Let's GO!! Showalter: Not so fast, Mark.
