The Hot Corner

I believe that being rid of the ads is all any of us desired.

Vargas with a groundball single to drive in 2 for Arizona. Now days a ball up the middle is generally out due to infields shifting toward the pull side. The hole to the opposite side is what is often now a hit as happened there.

Holmes living dangerously this game.

Alvarez three for three on challenges today. The last 2 being punch outs for Holmes with the reversal.

He had a wonderful managerial career in Atlanta. I must admit that I was so accustomed to seeing him as the manager of the Braves, that I forgot that he had managed the Blue Jays for 4 seasons before eventually returning to the Braves for his long tenure during the rise to prominence.

It doesn't bother me, but I'm fine with getting rid of the gold star and box.

My thoughts exactly.

It may be because I paid to remove the ads on the site this morning. It worked immediately. Considering I paid roughly 6 times the discounted rate Brock extended to us old timers tpo have MLB for the Mets games it was a great deal. I am still stuck with adds on MLB.

Unfortunately, prophetic. Brazoban again proving the adage that walks kill.

Scott has a very good 4-seam fastball up in the zone. The sweeper is effective against RH hitter when it is down in the zone. He needs a pitch to go with his fastball against LH hitters, the sweeper is too flat. He needs to use his cutter on the hands of lefties or develop a reliable change up..

Need to keep the momentum going.

Alvarez is eligible for free agency following the 2029 season. He is eligible for arbitration in 2027.

At least when we Mets fans are the ones laughing.

Happy to report that all ads appear to be gone already.

I went ahead and signed up for the year with the GCM code. I received no acknowledgement of payment or a receipt after completing. I will let you know what happens.

I plan to send my payment tomorrow.

Wow. Torrens whiffs on a pop up in foul ground.

Keith almost looked sick watching Gelbs with the 2 foot hot dog. Then somehow Gelbs got Keith to take a bite on the opposite end like Lady and the Tramp.. Keith kept looking down like he wanted to find a trash can so he could spit it out.

Woo Hoo. Benge with the 2 RBI hit with RISP.

The Mets really need to cash in some runs here with second and third with no outs.

Following his last outing with Syracuse that was expected to be a final hurdle to his return to the Mets, A. J. Minter experienced discomfort in his surgically repaired left hip. His rehab assignment has been halted for now. Both Minter and the Mets are optimistic that he can return to the mound after a few days of rest.

Nice start. I just hope that not getting Melendez in from 3rd with one out doesn't come back to haunt the Mets.

I have been a conservative leaning independent most of my voting life. I have never voted a "straight ticket" in my voting life. There are good and bad individuals in both parties. I judged Trump to be a despicable, lying, narcissist that shouldn't be trusted long before he ever entered the political arena. I have never supported him or his self indulgent MAGA movement. My opinion of him has only diminished since he entered politics. Centerfield listed a substantial overview (but far from a comprehensive list) of the reasons that I find Trump to be a deplorable individual and a horrible president. Centerfield just stated it more eloquently than I am capable of doing.

He has been better than I expected him to be. Pretty solid thus far.

I believe they will ply better moving forward, but I can't see this digging out of the hole they have put themselves in. They have far too many outs in their line up and they essentially have a 3 man rotation in which Clay Holmes is their ace. I'm happy to see Holmes pitching so well, but I expect him to regress somewhat over the season. McLean and Peralta are capable of being an ace, but the offense really needs to step up and give them some runs to work with. I am glad to see Vientos and Benge showing some life at the plate of late, but it will take more than a good week from them for this team to be good. I expect them to be better, but not enough to save the offense. So ultimately, If Peterson can remember how to pitch effectively for 5-6 innings on a regular basis, if Soto and Bichette can put up their usual numbers the rest of the way, if Lindor recovers and comes back raking, if Vientos & Benge can continue their recent resurgence, if Baty & Alvarez can hit at least .240 the rest of the way, then the Mets could possibly make a run at the last wild card spot.
