    Morel with a routine grounder to third, should have been a force out at home, but Hamilton throws it away. Mets win.
  2. The Hot Corner
    Piintaro with a solid job in the 10th. Mets have a chance to win this one in the 10th.
  3. The Hot Corner
    Lindor KABOOM! ties it at one going to the bottom of the 5th.
  4. The Hot Corner
    I hope he stays. The Mets have enough holes to fill this offseason. Bo Bichette (like Carson Benge) turned things around after a slow start and put together a pretty solid season.
  5. The Hot Corner
    Sadly, we have all witnessed this kind of gut punch loss far too often. It comes with being a Mets fan.

    Robert Jr. not very friendly to Brazoban. Hits a bomb to leftfield.
  7. The Hot Corner
    Brazoban on to face his old teammates.
  8. The Hot Corner
    Much of the damage the Mets pitchers find themselves trying to limit is self inflicted by walks HBP, and now errors.
  9. The Hot Corner
    Damn, autocorrect got me again.
  10. The Hot Corner
    Walks Kill! Scott seemed to forget that he had a fastball. Pinterest puts out the fire after Montgomery's bomb fortunately hooked foul.
  11. The Hot Corner
    Why are the Mets playing two leftfielders? That's a dramatic shift.
  12. The Hot Corner
    It is over the top to me, but the worst doing the celebration in anticipation of a strike out that doesn't occur. He apparently did it last night (I didn't get to watch last nights game) before giving up the walk off home run. I noted him doing it in previous appearances on balls as well as on balls put in play. Andy Green said stated that Yan had been told to "wait until the play was over" before doing his celebration. Apparently, the talk didn't sink in with Yan.

    Mets win! KC returns! Great day all the way around.
  14. The Hot Corner
    Finally. Better late, than never.

    Mason Miller last pitched one inning of relief on August 12th, so he is well rested. Hopefully, the only way the Mets see Miller is if he just needs to get some work in with the Mets already leading.
  16. The Hot Corner
    Lindor makes Pache baserunning a mute point with a game winner.
  17. The Hot Corner
    Or not. Dman it Young, that was ball 3 according to Gameday. Could have had a full count.
  18. The Hot Corner
    Wild pitch sets the table for Young to give the Mets the lead.
  19. The Hot Corner
    Well, bad things will happen if you decide not to walk the dogs.

    Like Edgy, I am blacked out for are Nationals (and orioles) games by MLB. It makes participating in an in game thread very difficult, but the boxscore shows Manaea has been "lights out" through 5 innings. He's in a mild jam in the 6th., though.
  21. The Hot Corner
    One of the last Mets to wear #42 regularly before MLB retired it league wide.
  22. The Hot Corner
    Personally, I can't imagine Soto transitioning to first base going well defensively. . I suspect a great percentage of the bounced/short-hop throws to first base would turn into errors for Lindor and Bichette. I just don't see Soto digging them out. He just strikes me as rather apathetic about defense. Stick him at DH (with some time in LF) and let him do what he does best, hit.
  23. The Hot Corner
    Probably a step up from Polanco, both offensively and defensively. If he can emulate Murakami and Okamoto (low Ave. w/ high power output) he would be a significant upgrade at first base for the Mets. The Mets would still need a strong right hand bat to help balance the line up. First base, DH, or LF are the best places for them to find the right-hand power bat they desperately need.
  24. The Hot Corner
    Throwing strikes consistently has been a constant battle for Senga. As a short stint, high leverage reliever he can rely almost entirely on his 2 best pitches (4-seam fastball and "Ghost Fork") which should make throwing strikes a little easier. The other possible issue I foresee is how much time will he need between appearances. The Mets generally tried to give him 6 days between starts (either with a 6 man rotation or a 5 man with an off-day) to keep from wearing him out. He will need to be able to pitch a minimum 2-3 times a week to be a successful reliever.

    I guess the moral is that it can be very lonely and boring being independently wealthy and single in your early 30s. His identity and self worth was tied to his ability as an athlete. Once that was (is) gone, he finds himself desperately seeking something to give him identity. A little sad, but not that unheard of in the sports world. Many former jocks have a difficult time once the fame and adulation fades.
