Finished watching this one. Good game! Butto is a very good pitcher. It's a shame he's still something of an "alternative" at pitcher.

Let us count the ways the bullpen might blow this.

Finished watching this one earlier. The bullpen sux!

This was hard to watch. Poor Orze.

4.28 ERA, 97 ERA+ for his career. Why even bother. The goal is to IMPROVE the bullpen.

Aase and Kent are correct! Two new questions have been added, with hints for the rest. 1. Who holds the Mets record for most walks surrendered in a season? Hint: You might know him as a Hall of Famer whose number has been retired by multiple teams, who was known for walking 200-plus batters in a season. Hint: Finished his career with over 5,700 strikeouts. 2. I was a Met for one game But everything went wrong I allowed 4 runs that day And then I was gone Who am I? Hint: You might know him as a former Orioles first rounder who pitched for the Mets in 2012. He was once traded with one-time Met Ronny Cedeno for another one-time Met, Aaron Heilman. Hint: Pitched in the majors from 2007 to 2012. 3. A promising closer, once was I But with the Mets, I had lost my Skills and so my ERA rose And after a year, 'twas off to their foes Who am I? Hint: He started off super well, posting something like a 2.25 ERA through his first 20 appearances with the Mets, but stunk after that. Fans of Hank Aaron might not like him. 4. Alfonzo set the Mets team record by scoring 123 runs in 1999. Which player held the previous record? 5.

Catching up on some games. This was a fun game to watch.

If the Mets go for it this year, I have a hunch it's going to end up A LOT like 2021, when they brought on Baez and Hill and ended up going 77-85.

On the bright side, I have Mitch Keller on my fantasy team.

Lindeman, Swoboda and Kranepool are correct! Well done. Three new questions have been added. 1. Who holds the Mets record for most walks surrendered in a season? Hint: You might know him as a Hall of Famer whose number has been retired by multiple teams, who was known for walking 200-plus batters in a season. 2. I was a Met for one game But everything went wrong I allowed 4 runs that day And then I was gone Who am I? Hint: You might know him as a former Orioles first rounder who pitched for the Mets in 2012. He was once traded with one-time Met Ronny Cedeno for another one-time Met, Aaron Heilman. 3. A promising closer, once was I But with the Mets, I had lost my Skills and so my ERA rose And after a year, 'twas off to their foes Who am I? 4. Edgardo Alfonzo hit 27 home runs and drove in 108 RBI in 1999, setting the Mets second base records. Which Mets second sacker held these records previously? 5.

I think I read that even if he DOESN'T choose Tommy John, he'll still be out until February 2025 or so.

Just finished watching this one. A decent performance!

New day, new hints added above.

Catching up on some games. Two grand slambonis. This was an embarrassment.

Catching up on some games. Can't fault the pitching for this one...where was the offense???

Well, I can't vote Severino anymore as he is pedestrian all of a sudden. Martinez fell off a bit. So, I've switched my vote to ... Francisco Lindor.

Catching up on some games. This was rough! The bullpen is so shaky.

New York Mets signed free agent RHP Jose Lopez to a minor league contract.

I love it when older c̶a̶r̶e̶e̶r̶ minor leaguers finally get the call. Congrats to Orze.

I see the cheater is back.

LOL, how do you know Duke Jupiter? That's crazy. They're well-known in Rochester because they had one semi-popular song 45 years ago. And I only know Duke Jupiter because I was born in Rochester. [media=youtube]5iNwn95o3is[/media]
