Jackie Bradley Jr. hitting .170? Another bullet we dodged.

Good for Conforto! Hopefully that gets him going!

Awful cropping on the Topps Now card, but the base set card gets it right! https://www.topps.com/media/catalog/product/cache/4760b28eb8e02bda10f64d812590c244/a/r/artbb-16c2s-20tn-0281_.png> https://www.topps.com/media/catalog/product/cache/4760b28eb8e02bda10f64d812590c244/A/R/ARTBBLE-POS-21TBB1-1140-S.png>

Holy smokes. That pitch Peraza was called out on wasn't even close!

I think I read Pete is going to be in the Home Run Derby, which is nice.

YES!!! Nimmo! Linder!!

Bad K by McCann, swinging at a ball in the dirt.

A sweep leaves the Yankees with a sub-.500 record? I'd celebrate that with fireworks!

Is Jake hurt?

We dodged a bullet when this monster chose the Dodgers.

Put that one in the books!

Diaz does not seem as sharp tonight.

It's not so much about the plans persay, just sorta looking at the roster and where the 'extra' is. Cano is still a guy. He's still a Hall of Fame caliber hitter the last we saw him. When we last saw him he was using both a juiced ball AND a juiced body. But the front office is a mess, no matter what you think about the guys they took flyers on this year versus last year. I dunno, I kind feel like I'd rather have Porcello than Eickhoff if we're coming right down to it. Or Stephen Matz for that matter. Or Yoenis Cespedes. But they've fired like 2-3 GMs, Sandy is but isn't but is, but isn't? the decision maker. Will he be here next year? are there more dominos from the BS sexual assault fixer they hired? Is Zack Scott permanent? temporary? interim? is he making decisions with long term in mind? They're still working on the last admin's second choice as manager, and certainly couldn't have given a lot of thought to the hitting coach they quickly replaced Chili Davis with. So like, is that group motivated to "make a run for it?" are they going to trade prospects in July, or bank on Carrasco and the like returning? Are they thinking long term? I disagree again. The difference isn't between Porcello and Eickhoff, it's between Porcello and Walker. Eickhoff is an insurance pickup they hoped never to use and is going to be the first guy sent back to upstate New York when a live arm returns. Porcello was counted on to be a fifth starter at best and and at worst the long reliever/first guy called on after an injury. It's the difference between Kevin Pillar and Billy Hamilton. You want Cespedes instead of Pillar?

=Ceetar post_id=69465 time=1624991679 user_id=102] The Mets front office is a mess so I don't even know what to expect from them, and if they're prepared going forward.

How come we can't score runs any more?

Yours truly will be there, shvitzing my ass off in my "Shea Stadium" tee a few rows behind the Mets dugout. I think that they're giving away a WS Bobblehead which I have to either toss or carry around all night so I can sell it on eBay, I mean, give it to a friend who would like it which is worth more than money. It's the matchup you dream of: Jerad Eickhoff (our team) v. Paolo Espino (the other team) and lots of relievers for both. Have fun!! Root for Teddy in the race!

Ouch. Let's get one or two in!

I occasionally buy one of the special caps if I love the design. I like this year's Independence Day caps and bought one. But these All-Star caps and jerseys are abysmal.

Uniform ads are awful. The maker's marks are definitely falling into the ad category as they grow and have more prominent placement. Don't like them, either.

Don't try to steal, Pete!

That was awful.
