-Vogelbach is DHing and hitting 5th while DJ Stewart is bating 6th and playing RF.
-Mark Canha's in LF and batting 7th while Brett Baty is back at 3B and hitting 8th against the righty Gray.
-The Mets' 4-man bench tonight is as follows: Alvarez, Mendick, Pham, & of course Vientos.
Dom Smith is, or will be, the poster child for something.

But I'm not sure what. Managing sleep apnea, fighting depression, something. I think his career got derailed by things not entirely in his control.

He was so close to being a legit MLB star, and then he sort of spiraled down. He's batting 6th on a crummy Nats team. Hope he gets it back together and re-emerges — just not against the Mets.

Nailed it. Some things scouting and analytics can never predict…

Nats are no pushovers. Here are some stats:  
Optimus-NY : 7/27/2023 7:19 pm : link
They're 15-12 since June 24th and have scored a lot of runs lately.



Senga had a 9 pitch inning to start the game. Here's Senga's pitching usage breakdown thus far this season:
Ronnie just gave a good explanation for how to deal with Mets hitters  
Optimus-NY : 7/27/2023 7:27 pm : link
being hit. The Mets can't continue to allow their hitters to get hit and not get payback against other teams. Buck's too much of a punanny to do anything about it though.
I can't believe we have Vogelbach and DJ Stewart

vientos has hits in 4 of the 5 games he's appeared in since his recall. 5/14 with a double. almost all of them hard hit balls over 100mph.

it is just beyond moronic that it's almost august and buck keeps trotting out these abject losers.

There need to be consequences. too bad they'll have to come in the offseason since Uncle Steve gave Buck and Eppler a pass for the rest of the season.
These guys don't care about winning or losing.  
Optimus-NY : 7/27/2023 8:17 pm : link
They're getting paid, so it's all good. Having not to deal with any consequences must be great!
Piss poor lineup

I look at this team and I see some bar league softball team  
GiantBlue : 7/27/2023 9:10 pm : link
Tons of fatties…..ineffective hitters and cement blocks on the base paths.

This is incredibly painful to watch.

A disgrace.
Here's Senga's final line for the night:  
Optimus-NY : 7/27/2023 9:11 pm : link
99 pitches, 57 strikes
6 IP
2 H
1 R
1 ER
3 BB
5 K
0 HR
3.17 ERA

1 HB
6 Groundouts-4 Flyouts
25 batters faced
Complacent complacent complacent complacent

This is what you get when you have a manager that cradles his underperforming vets and lacks any type of accountability. AND gives plenty of playing time to the likes of Vogelbach and Stewart (and hits them in the middle of the order, no less).

And the sad part here is that I’m convinced that Buck will be back next year.
Nice hit by Baty  
GiantBlue : 7/27/2023 9:22 pm : link
I sure hope Nimmo can drive him in. Runs so hard to come by. Sometimes they look like they just came from T-ball.

Didn’t bother watching

He doesn’t need to play both Vogelbach AND Stewart in the same lineup. He also doesn’t have to bat them in the middle of the order. Those are choices. And bad ones.
I am both shocked and pleased by this rally.  
GiantBlue : 7/27/2023 9:47 pm : link
Vogel got a clutch hit and Stewart got clutch hit in the butt.

Need to convert here.

I don't think anyone else can play OF right now, I agree with the spot in the lineup though, brutal.

Buck can NOT be brought back next year. That's an automatic ticket to losersville.
Put it in the books (finally...)
