So the Mets promoted Jared Young and demoted Jose Azocar, apparently.

Dicky is correct! I thought he was going to be awesome, too. For a while in 2001, he was lights out. Hint: https://i.imgur.com/U1mHz4f.png>

Adrian Gonzalez is correct! Hint: https://i.imgur.com/NMmQ88M.png>

Wow, he's doing well.

Eddie and Dale are correct!

Rafael, Dennis, Johan, Jose, Orber, Raul and Daniel are all correct! I, too, thought Orber Moreno was going to be something.

27 1/3 innings in and he still has a 1.98 ERA.

I was hoping they were going to beat each other up.

Siri shouldn't be playing that much, either (when he comes back). They need someone better than both of them.

I hope they win.

The Mets are still waiting for Manaea, Blackburn and Montas to come back. They were all expected to play meaningful roles. They're 10 games over .500 now ... without those three cogs. I would like to see them replace Taylor with someone with more oomph. Taylor can stay on the roster, but he's starting too much.

Mets release Billy McKinney.

Team ERA: Still just 2.91. Magic number: 116

I still have faith. They'll regress some, but they're still a low-90s-win team.

Jim, Dave, Mike, Mike, Matt, Tommie and Sidd Finch's personal catcher are all correct!

It was Mike Matthews. They're all Gone...zalez The Mets haven't had a Gonzalez play for them since 2018. Can you name all the Gonzalezes in Mets history? 1. Raul Gonzalez, 2002-2003 2.

Down to second place :-(

Twitter is a bastion of knowledge.

The Rockies are on track to lose 134 games this season.

One last shot before I do the great reveal! I'm all Mike'd up and ready to go!

He is a tough one. Should he not be guessed, he'd be the first one to stump everyone.

Yoan Lopez it is! Finally, a hint for this guy: This player, born October 24, 1973, in Fredericksburg, Virginia, was a left-handed relief pitcher who played in Major League Baseball from 2000 to 2005. After a standout debut season in 1992 in the minors (going 8-0 with a 1.35 ERA), he eventually broke into the majors with the St. Louis Cardinals in 2000. This player also pitched for the Milwaukee Brewers, San Diego Padres, Cincinnati Reds, and finally, the New York Mets. His MLB career was that of a journeyman reliever—solid at times, but largely unremarkable. With a career record of 14–10 and a 4.54 ERA, this player never quite lived up to the promise of his early years. By the time he reached New York in 2005, fans and commentators agreed his best days were behind him. He was designated for assignment shortly after a rough start to the season and finished his career without returning to the majors. Though largely forgotten today, this player left brief impressions on fans—some remembering a promising start with the Cardinals, others noting an autographed card or a final spring training that hinted at a comeback that never materialized. Ultimately, his acquisition by the Mets was considered puzzling, and he quietly exited the game, a typical case of a once-promising pitcher unable to sustain a foothold in the majors.

GTJL is correct! Hint: https://i.imgur.com/P4pw1sQ.png> Another hint for this guy: This player, a right-handed pitcher born in Cuba in 1993, had a brief but memorable stint with the New York Mets during the 2022 MLB season. Though he appeared in only eight games for the team, this player made headlines for a retaliatory pitch that sparked controversy, leading to a three-game suspension and fine. His short time with the Mets reflected a broader pattern of volatility and movement in his professional career. This player originally defected from Cuba in 2014 and was signed by the Arizona Diamondbacks for a record $8.27 million in 2015. After a rocky start, including a near-retirement, he eventually reached the majors in 2018 and had his most active MLB season in 2019 with Arizona. Over time, his performance declined, and he was designated for assignment in 2021. In the chaotic 2021–2022 offseason, this player bounced between several organizations — including the Braves, Phillies, and Marlins — before landing with the Mets just before the season. His disciplinary issues with the Mets complicated his role as a bullpen backup, as he couldn't be immediately used when called up. Despite this, he finished the season with a 1–0 record and a 5.73 ERA over 11 innings for New York. After being released by the Mets, this player played in Japan for the Yomiuri Giants in 2023, and then signed with the Algodoneros de Unión Laguna in Mexico in 2024, where he found renewed success. Re-signing for the 2025 season, he continues to pitch at a high level in the Mexican League. Though his time in Queens was short-lived, Mets fans remember this player for his fiery presence, the suspension saga, and his role in a tense rivalry moment with the Phillies.

I remember when they got him. Had potential. Just another victim of the pitching carousel.
