  1. Nine game hitting streak for the kid Acuna
  2. Mets' web site/MLB gameday has Baty playing 3B, not 2B. Vientos getting another rest day it would seem Lindor 6 Soto 9 Alonso 3 Nimmo 7 Winker DH Torrens 2 Acuna 4 Baty 5 Taylor 8
  3. It's pretty clear that Baty comes back to the 'Cuse to find his swing when McNeil's ready. He waits in the wings for an injury at one of the positions he's shown he can field, at least.
  4. I'm "watching" on mlb.com gameday. How the hell did Acuna get a double out of a gb to SS? The 3B tried to barehand it and missed. The SS was out of position and the ball trickled into short left field and Acuna took advantage
  5. This STL pitcher needs to be paying Cardinals moustache royalties to Keith Hernandez
  6. What a catch by Nimmo !
  7. Just watching the highlights. Not sure how Vientos turned on a shoulder high fastball. That's madness
  8. Glove tossing malcontent Jorge Lopez, now a National, bounced from yesterday's game for hitting a batter and then throwing at Andrew McCutchen's head. The next Nats pitcher subsequently gave up a grand slam.
  9. ⚾️ Immaculate Grid 747 9/9: Rarity: 41 IMMACULATE! 🟩🟩🟩 🟩🟩🟩 🟩🟩🟩 BOS/SD - Eric Hosmer 5 BOS/TOR - Rickey Henderson 5 BOS/3B - Bill Mueller 6 TB/SD - Bubba Trammell 1 TB/TOR - David Price 19 TB/3B - Ty Wigginton .8 PHL/SD - Matt Stairs 4 PHL/TOR - Jayson Werth 1 PHL/3B - Scott Kingery .3
  10. Managed to catch a 2-0 Syracuse Mets win at the ball park and catch the last 2+ innings of this win on XM and SNY
  11. Johnny Lunchbucket wrote: They'll never go back but it would be so much more palatable if they only instituted it after 12 innings. Sort of like how hockey gives up on settling a tie with a short period before going to the skills competition. Also, we don't like it but the way the game is played has changed to the point where pitching cannot absorb the wear and tear of a long season. Pitchers train too much and throw too hard and have too many elbow injuries to have sufficient durability to go 9 innings much less 10. Also Bader-Siri wasn't a financial decision I'd even take a compromise where the ghost runner was used starting in the 11th inning. I mean, have one sane, normal extra inning before you get to the stupid Manfred-ness of life.
  12. First back to back losses this season. Had to happen eventually I guess. Much like the road trip that started the season the Mets went 3-3. So if you're splitting series on the road and winning them at home then you're in good shape. First place Mets come home today for 7 games against STL (four) and then Philly (3). I'd like to see them win both series and go 5-2 here.
  13. Hate the ghost runner. Even when it helps the Mets win I hate it. It's so phony and arbitrary. Why not have a ghost runner every inning? Maybe add a fifth base?
  14. ⚾️ Immaculate Grid 745 9/9: Rarity: 22 IMMACULATE! 🟩🟩🟩 🟩🟩🟩 🟩🟩🟩 Play at: https://immaculategrid.comhttps://immaculategrid.com LAA/DET - Dean Chance .5. LAA/CWS - Jim Abbott 3 LAA/300AVG - Darin Erstad 4 ARZ/DET - Edwin Jackson 4 ARZ/CWS - JJ Putz 2 ARZ/300AVG - Justin Upton 1 SS/DET - Ray Oyler 1 SS/CWS - John Cusack er I mean Buck Weaver .5 SS/300AVG - Nomar Garciaparra 6
  15. This would also be a good time for Lindor to hit
  16. That would have been a good moment for Lindor to hit right there.
  17. I am hoping #42 has a big game for the Mets today. Not sure if I've mentioned this, but my father and his brother as kids both got to meet Jackie Robinson, as my grandmother was the president of the Little League in which they both played, in Flushing in the mid 1950s, and I have seen old newspaper photos of my grandmother standing next to him at a season ending banquet at which JR was the featured guest. I'll have to see if I can find those newspaper clippings the next time I visit with my uncle.
  18. Looks good from the trailer and has good reviews. I cannot endure a movie theater at this point in my life, I'm too old and too annoyed by commercials and adjacent phones and really just everything that is stupid and annoying, so I'll have to catch it once it's streaming.
  19. The Mets' web site seems to think the most likely plan, should Taylor continue to suck wind, is to have Acuna play more CF and then use Baty and ultimately McNeil at 2B.
  20. I did not make it to the end of yesterday's game, though I felt that being up 5-1 with the current bullpen's performance that it was a pretty safe lead.
  21. Lots of good signs, Vientos driving a ball into the gap for a ribeye for the second game in a row, and an actual Juan Soto appearance, plus continued stellar bullpen work. Mets beating teams that they should be beating, thus far
  22. Acuna looking like a big leaguer out there
  23. Nice freebie there on the air mailed throw to first
  24. =Centerfield post_id=189468 time=1744429628 user_id=65] Canning has a strange delivery.
