Than again, he's giving high-fives so he must be ok.

Alvarez looked hurt but it was hard to see what happened!

Satchel.

Squirrel slaps one into the corner!

Didn't see a balk coming.

Wendle!! Whoever had Reed Garrett as their Dark Horse Met knew what they were doing!

This is really interesting! And, as throwing in the upper 90s and hitting 100 mph becomes more common, something is needed. 2. A batter who is judged to have been officially hit by a pitch in the head or neck shall be awarded two bases, with runners advancing as forced. 3. When a batter is officially judged to have been hit by a pitch in the head or neck, the pitcher shall be removed from the game, regardless of any apparent intent or lack thereof. I like the first part. Seems like pitchers would be extra cautious if it essentially meant giving up a double. Something doesn't feel right about the second part. Ejection, in my mind, should be an extreme action and can change the course of a game. Would be curious to hear from a retired pitcher to know how often beanings are intentional and how many are honestly pitches that got away from them. One thing missing in this list is improving the helmet. David Wright got mocked for the Great Gazoo helmet. But if everyone was required to wear it... I know those are all related to the head shots and not the rest of the body.

"He was the reason for my success," former Mets RHP Jerry Koosman said in a statement.

Bummer! Condolences to his family. A member of the Mets Hall of Fame.

Nice job by Otto. I might have been too hard on him the other night.

McNeill bomb! He needed that!

Alvarez's pitch framing is really good.

Should have gotten some more runs out of that!

I kind of adopted him as my favorite Met, replacing Seaver, when I was a kid. Those were unrealistic expectations. Wasn't he an All-Star for us one season?

It's like a nightmare that won't end. I keep thinking, "They'll definitely win the next one." Then, they don't! C'mon, Mets! Get this one!

The A's do not intend to change their name to reflect their Sacramento residency. Instead, they'll be known simply by their nickname, according to The Athletic's Evan Drellich. Like Madonna, Prince, and Ichiro.

Openly questioning the move to bring back Ottovino.

Rats. The game is blacked out where I live because they are playing the Tigers!

26 is the new par! I got it, too!

Mendoza is suspended for today's game. Must be a Mets record for quickest suspension into a managerial career. Bench coach John Gibbons back in the saddle! Mendoza might get his first Mets win without being in the dugout.

Seeing a report that JD Martinez is a Met!
