Heading down to DC tomorrow morning to see Lefty Jr and take in Game #2. The missus will be rocking her Syndergaard replica jersey. Hoping to keep the Nats off the scoreboard for the whole weekend.
Missed the whole thing as I was flying from the West Coast. Mrs Lefty DVR'd it and I just watched the compressed version. Good day all around and gotta say that was an awesome play by Cano to keep them off the board. If that didn't work it could have been a whole different ballgame. If Robinson keeps up like this I may have to overlook the MFY stink on him. Doncha know.
=41Forever post_id=5128 time=1553628015 user_id=69] I'd almost rather lock up Syndergaard first. I don't want Wheeler to walk, but he had a fantastic half season. There's plenty of time to talk to him.
78-84, obviously no post-season. Division is too strong and injuries will rear their ugly head again. Someone has to finish fourth and it'll be the Mets.
=Centerfield post_id=4537 time=1553004062 user_id=65] Was the baseball battle for NY a serious thing in 1964? From what I can tell, the Yankees finished first, and the Mets finished last. So, uh, not much of a battle.
He's been pretty much Xeroxed by Keon Broxton. Not sure how it'll play out. Unless he starts out on fire again, I expect him to get less and less playing time. .240, 3/19 . Prove me wrong, Juan.
Classic Seaver with the drop-and-drive delivery. And why the hell was Ron Darling in a mystery magazine? Strange. I'm a sucker for the simplicity of old SI covers, though. Swoboda staring into the future with no batting gloves.

With an intro like that how can he fail? It'll be crushing when he's sent to......minor league camp. Will show up briefly, but like a waterbug scuttling across the surface of a pond, will leave no discernible trace of his passage.
