Mets now on pace to tie the MLB record, set by Cincy last year, for team HBP in a season
-
diagnosis: strained hammy. Couple of days off? Two weeks?

I did think that was a very silly article, focusing more on a minor leaguer doing well rather than Baez's career imploding.

Drink Canada Dry is an advertising slogan, not a recommendation.

Those are geese, Gary. Canadian geese. We Canadians prefer the nomenclature "Canada goose" if you don't mind, please. From Wikipedia: "The Canada goose is also colloquially referred to as the "Canadian goose". This name may annoy some birders."

=TransMonk post_id=96752 time=1655750625 user_id=71] That's what I thought.

Hammy?

Now Squirrel beats the pitcher to home plate to steal a run "Squirrel" is one of the longest words in the English language (8 letters) that can be pronounced in a single syllable. "Squelched" at 9 has it beat. Most folks make it two syllables, but it's a judgment call.

Mr. Squirrel takes second base on a bonehead throw to 3b

Another infield hit for the Marlins! A true Baltimore chop. Nothing to be done, though Peterson gave it a shot.
-
And how does that figure vary when Pete Alonso bats? Up or down, would you suppose?
-
And, Mrs. Lincoln, let me ask a followup question....
-
One lousy run is all we get out of Pete batting 3-2, bases loaded, no out? It is questionable whether that outcome is, in fact, better than a poke in the eye with a sharp stick.
-
Alonso fouls off ball 4, Ks on a strike up and on the outside edge.
-
If we don't get at least six runs this inning, I am going to be disappointed.
-
I never understand why players turn their heads to see the fielders on infield squibbers. Can't be recommended sprinting style, is it?
-
Marte and Lindor both beat out infield grounders. Polar Bear up with bases loaded.
-
Nimmo leads off with a loud double, very possibly could have taken third, decided not to.
-
E-5 to start the day. Escobar's 7th of the season. Seems a lot?
-
I can compare him to any number of things, but in honor of the day, let us compare him to a summer's day, lovely and more temperate. Later on in this summer's day, we may be comparing him to other things.

Never made a shred of sense to me. For every immobile side of beef who lingered, there was exactly one young, eager hotshot sitting in the minors.

Nibbling and Blowouts--who should pitch, and how?
roger_that replied to roger_that's topic in New York Mets Talk
Probably I have someone warming in the pen from pitch one. I need pitchers who can throws strikes in this situation Yeah, and when his arm falls off three days later because he's thrown too much in the bullpen you'll be starting a thread that Buck can't manage the pen. I don't believe loosening up and throwing a few warmups in the pen will create re-attachment issues for the Special Surgery wards. If the reliever demonstrates that he can keep the ball in the general vicinity of the strike zone for the first two or three batters, I'm comfortable relaxing the tightness of the leash. I doubt, however, that instructions are as strict and as blunt as the ones I'm advocating. "Your only job here is to throw strikes." I think managers these days profess to claim their pitchers understand that need without specific instructions, but that's really the only reason I can think of that relievers are so wild with big leads, that they're not pitching any differently than they would in a tight game. -
