All-Star

I could not be believe when it was 2nd and 3rd with one out and they did not mention where the infielders were playing. I guess we are spoiled,

Scherzer sprung for $7K food spread catered by Capital Grille for his minor league teammates in Binghamton -plus an IPod gift to each. Nice gesture.

Scherzer pitched 3 scoreless innings tonight (5K) but he has given up 3 runs in the 4th on single and doubles.

The first vote totals were announced for All Star voting. My understanding is top two automatically go. The good news is Alonso is solidly in 2nd....

Am I correct that they got rid of the hill in CF? I always remember Beltran’s catch.

It comes down to those 15 games they have against each other. If it is a close split, the Mets are in good shape. The Braves will have to beat the...

Mets with 50 HBP are on pace to break the MLB record of 105 by the Reds on 2021 according to Gary.

Gary said two interesting things today: 1. The Mets already have more Sac Flies than in all of 2021; and 2. The Mets with their 50th HBP are on...

And Dom Smith has been recalled. He played 15 games for Syracuse. Seth Lugo is on paternity leave getting the Mets down to 13 pitchers and the...

On Sunday as Syracuse lost to Norfolk 8-6, Dom Smith (batting 2nd as DH) went 0 for 4 plus a walk. His batting average is now .266 and his OPS is...

So Syracuse ends up scoring 7 more runs in the 10th to eventually win 13-8. Dom went 1 for 5 and also was hit by a pitch. His batting average is now...

In Norfolk on Saturday, Dom Smith has just singled in the go-ahead run in the top of the 10th for Syracuse. It is his 10th ribbie for Syracuse.

Cubs beat Braves again on Saturday, so the Mets lead is back to 6.5 games.

Thankfully, the Braves finally lost on Friday after winning 14 games in a row. Mets now lead Braves by 5.5 and Phils by 8 games.

McNeill is 4th in NL in batting average. Canha, McNeill, Nimmo, & Alonso are 6th, 9th, 11th, & 13th in NL in OBP.

Alonso now leads the NL in homers and MLB in ribbies. Lindor is 3rd in NL in ribbies.

On Friday, Dom Smith at 1B batting 2nd had a double in 6 at-bats with 2 ribbies. He is batting .291 and OPS at .852.

Carrasco looks better tonight.

Escobar was taken to the hospital with dizziness and vision problems but may be back in lineup on Saturday.

A week from Sunday would be an afternoon game in Miami. If he makes another rehab start that day, the next possibility would be Friday (7/1) at home...

My recent test numbers have been very good. Knock on wood. 😊

Update on Mets Farm Teams at 6/16/22: Syracuse 23-39 (Last Place) Binghamton 22-38 (Last Place) Brooklyn 26-33 (4th of 6) St Lucie 39-20 (1st...

Dom Smith as DH batting 2nd for Syracuse on Thursday had a double in five at-bats. He now has a .306 average and .892 OPS with 2 homers and 6 RBI.

By the way, Mel Stottlemyre and Don Baylor both died from Multiple Myeloma but they lasted 19 and 14 years respectively which is considered...

Which means he could start a week from Sunday.😊

All other things being equal, it is better to have a lefty batting second to increase the odds of moving a runner over, or from 1st to third by...

I am surprised that Bucky has not given Escobar an occasional day off or as DH more often. It might help him. He is no spring chicken.

He is getting almost an RBI per game. He may demolish the Mets record which is 124.

You never beat Multiple Myeloma (cancer in the bone marrow) permanently, but you can keep it at bay - put it in remission. I just view every day as...

So sorry to hear the news. But half the battle is to stay positive. That has helped me to stick around nine years!
