That Robert home run was straight out of a baseball video game, the way it was hit, how quickly it left the park and how far up it went.

Bochy is correct!

I recently put my application in.

It's gone? What the H?

With two hits today, Jared Young has joined the .250 club, meaning six Mets currently have season averages of .250 or better now: Soto Ewing Benge Alvarez Bichette Young *Honorable mention: Austin Slater

All correct, save for Harnisch.

LOL @ Baja Blast requiring home runs to go over 420 feet to win whatever it is they're offering. I see what you did there.

I just have the feeling The Crotch is going to be something great. I was quite hasty in adopting him since he just joined the organization, but -- and I hate to brag -- I got my Crotchfelt.

All correct so far!

We could've had a rotation with Thornton and Sproat together, but David Stearns wanted Freddy Peralta instead. Sproat still has a world of potential, Peralta, not so much. He's established, Sproat is still developing. Thornton, Sproat, McLean, Tong, Scott. It could've been glorious ...

Alex Carrillo, who pitched briefly for the Mets in 2025 and was released by the organization on July 9, 2026, was signed by the Giants on July 14. In 3 relief appearances last year, he had a 13.50 ERA. Share your memories.

The Mets have released minor leaguer Nick Rosselli for the second time this year. They first ditched him on April 1, then he signed with the Long Island Ducks, then they re-signed him on May 12, then they released him again today. He was their 11th round pick in 2024. They've also optioned Xzavion Curry and recalled Daniel Duarte.

I believe that is the most accurate analysis I have seen to date.

Freddy Peralta is now tied for the league lead in losses and has averaged barely 5 innings per start this season. He has a 7.36 ERA in July, a 6.80 mark since June 1 and a 5.80 mark since May 1. He really sucks ... and all he cost us was two of our most prized prospects!

Colorado Rockies traded RHP Seth Halvorsen to Los Angeles Dodgers for RHP Nick Frasso and OF Landyn Vidourek.

Who was Duane Ward? Duane Ward was an American relief pitcher who played in Major League Baseball from 1986 to 1995 with the Atlanta Braves and Toronto Blue Jays. Drafted ninth overall by the Braves in 1982, he was traded to Toronto during his rookie season and developed into one of baseball's premier late-inning relievers. After several standout years as setup man to Tom Henke, Ward became the Blue Jays' closer in 1993, leading the American League with a franchise-record 45 saves while earning his lone All-Star selection and finishing fifth in Cy Young Award voting. He played a key role in Toronto's back-to-back World Series championships in 1992 and 1993, finishing his career with a 3.28 ERA, 121 saves, and 679 strikeouts. Ward made 452 appearances for the Blue Jays, a franchise record until 2011, and remains one of the organization's greatest relief pitchers. Following his playing career, he stayed active with the club as an alumni ambassador, instructor at Blue Jays baseball camps, and occasional radio broadcaster. He was inducted into the New Mexico Sports Hall of Fame in 2009 and the Canadian Baseball Hall of Fame in 2020. Ward died of natural causes in Toronto on July 18, 2026, at age 62 while in the city to participate in ceremonies honoring the Blue Jays' 1992 and 1993 championship teams. His death came just before the unveiling of a commemorative statue celebrating those clubs, underscoring his lasting legacy as one of the most beloved players in franchise history.

The Mets have signed the following draft picks. It looks like the holdout so far is Marcus Ward. Aiden Robbins Shane Sdao Luke McNeillie Alex Petrovic Aiden Keenan Landon Koenig Ryan Tayman Nate Isler Kuhio Aloy AJ Krodel Jacob Madrid Zach Crotchfelt Dustin Hagens Jr. Gavin Guidry Cooper Dossett John Smith III Kooper Schulte They signed the following as undrafted free agents: Danny Melendez Jack Toomey A.J. Colarusso Dylan Carey Carter Dierdorf Jake Ogden Reed Stallman Luis Robert has been activated. Eric Wagaman has (finally) been optioned and Dedniel Nunez has been sent on rehab to Syracuse, Zack Short has been outrighted.

Clay Holmes: Rehab start likely coming Thursday. Holmes (fibula) is tentatively scheduled to make his first minor-league rehab start Thursday, MLB.com reports. Holmes had been slated to begin his rehab assignment this past Saturday with High-A Brooklyn, but as a result of rainy conditions, he instead opted for a 45-pitch bullpen session. The right-hander will look to build on that pitch count Thursday, and if all goes well, he could make his return from the 60-day injured list as soon as July 28. Holmes likely won't be stretched out enough to handle a typical starter's workload immediately upon his activation, but the Mets may be eager to showcase him to potential suitors ahead of the Aug. 3 trade deadline. Injury Lower Leg. Est. Return 7/28/2026. Mets sent RHP Dedniel Núñez on a rehab assignment to Syracuse Mets.

Estoy de acuerdo porque I don't see any real allure to a guy who's proven to be as fragile as papier mache and who can hit about effectively as a dummy made of said material, They'd be buying the name and the "what if based on what he once was" .... wait a minute, that's the Mets thing to do!

Syracuse Mets activated RHP Robert Stock from the 60-day injured list.
