We'll be doing one each month for the rest of the season. It'll be easier to consolidate info this way and for everyone to be able to follow along any news and information centering around the club's various affiliates.

With a fantastic catch! Made it look easier than it was.

Did SNY switch during the McNeil at bat

You will have to pry the cash needed for a vet

From the cold dead hands of the pirates owner.

That Pitt is going to take out Jones this early with him cruising.

Early

GF1080 : 4/16/2024 8:35 pm : link

Yes but Reed Garrett has been a find so far!

Nutting has been better about spending recently (Hayes and Reynolds extensions)

Did something happen to Baty?

No one is sure yet.

Why did PIT

pjcas18 : 4/16/2024 8:51 pm : link

take Jones out? did the announcers say?

I get if he's on an innings limit, but it really should be a pitch count limit.

Baty

GF1080 : 4/16/2024 8:56 pm : link

Left hamstring tightness. Vientos time?

Wendle

GF1080 : 4/16/2024 9:02 pm : link

Wow! Huge RBI 2B to tie it.

Balk

GF1080 : 4/16/2024 9:09 pm : link

To take the lead!!

nice insurance run from the singles hitter

Eric on Li : 4/16/2024 9:12 pm : link

the only 2 guys in the linup with an ops over .724 right now are alonso and baty. need more guys to start hitting but hard to not be encouraged by how the rest of things are coming together. pitching, defense, timely hitting.

did anything happen visibly or they just pull him?

narvaez has been a low key solid contributor all year

Eric on Li : 4/16/2024 9:16 pm : link

taken a lot of good at bats.

holy crap reed garrett - 9 whiffs in 2 innings? i think i had him cut him off the 40 man roster like 5 times this offseason.

vientos 3/5 with a 3b, 4 rbis and 2 hard hit balls at 99mph

Eric on Li : 4/16/2024 9:18 pm : link

his average exit velocity is 2 mph below what he did in the big leagues and he's still got a 934 ops. so this may be his AAA statline in a cold streak.

another comeback and a winning record

Eric on Li : 4/16/2024 9:39 pm : link

do they have more late inning rallys this year than all last year already?

The Mets pitching is much better than I thought it would be especially

Ira : 4/16/2024 9:49 pm : link

after the failure to get Yamamoto and the injury to Senga. The bullpen and the rotation have both been good.

Another series W!!

GF1080 : 4/16/2024 10:49 pm : link

Baty thing doesn't seem too serious. Garrett, Lopez, and Smith all looked great tonight.

Just saw
