Great game!!!

Nice work! Thank you, Brock!

No way he's going anywhere, but Buster Olney pointed out yesterday that Steve Cohen could come out and say that to end a lot of speculation. The discussion pointed to insiders saying the team has been unlucky with injuries -- especially Lindor and Soto and Holmes -- and guys who are underperforming, like Bichette and Manaea. Polanco and Robert being injured shouldn't come as a surprise. They were critical of the Polanco signing, saying it was an overpay from the start, and said Robert all along was just a placeholder for whenever Ewing was ready.

I wasn't saying that to be insulting or snarky. I just don't know how a team that is struggling to survive can keep running out there a pitcher who just gets rocked. It's heartbreaking because he's been very good, if not great, in bursts in the past. I feel badly for him that this is happening in a walk year. I don't know what happened after the All-Star Game last season, but this just isn't the same guy.

They would need to hit incredibly better if he's going to keep giving up six runs.

I don't know what you can do with Peterson at this point.

I don't think we'll ever see Senga or Robert in a game again. I think Jorge Polanco is done for the season.

We had a wonderful time. The Mets pitching was rough. Gave up three homers in one inning, then walked the bases loaded - then walked in two runs. Clearwater won 11-8. Pena hit leadoff and hit the ball hard - when they actually pitched to him. But, the renovations to Clover Park are outstanding. So much great branding. The Mets Hall of Famers, at least the players, managers, and announcers -- get large photo panels. Was a little chagrined that Seaver has largely hidden behind a cocktails stand. The attendance was sparse. Not much more than a couple hundred people in the stands. People could sit where they wanted in the shade. Everyone we encountered was really nice, and Nathan's hot dogs are a treat for me. Nice sales in the team store.

I'm heading to Port St. Lucie today with my dad and niece to see the Mets. Always excited to see a Mets game. Looks like Elian Pena is the best prospect there. The St. Lucie stadium is fun, though seems to be staffed entirely by (very) senior citizens. Last time they were confused by the Pass Port stamping and which team store was opened. Looking forward to it!

Is that Oriole Park at Camden Yards?

Pretty good game so far!

Vientos proves me wrong. I salute him!

Wasn't pretty, but I'll take it! Also, I'm over Vientos.

Benge!

He's played for 11 teams. Should he make the Hall of Fame, he'd be tied with Dan Brouthers for playing with the most teams. Goose Gossage, Rickey Henderson, Deacon White and Hoyt Wilhelm played for nine, Gaylord Perry played for eight.
