I’m going to need the Mets send Francisco Alvarez to whatever lab that worked on Cal Raleigh. Really good dive on how a swing change has helped Raleigh get on time against velo.

Polled the YouTube channel this morning on their confidence in Mark Vientos turning his season around. Results are interesting, as 60% of the audience is on board with staying internal at the deadline (while only 9% has full faith in Vientos). Do you trust the baby Mets?

Top MLB All-Star Snubs

PETE ALONSO TIE GAME! Alonso has a higher OBP, OPS, wRC+, and fWAR than Freddie Freeman but will not be starting the All-Star Game for the National League...

Carson Benge in his 11 Double-A games: .297/.435/.432 with 9 BB and 6 K On the season: .302/.420/.473, 30 XBH, 17.7 K%, 15.1 BB%, 17/19 SB Still feel like he's not getting enough love.

Nolan McLean, our #37 prospect, dominated last night in Triple-A: 6 IP 3 H 0 ER 3 BB 10 K His ERA is down to 2.52 at the level.

That's on Mendy. Should have stuck with Peterson. Final start of the first half, let him empty the tank. If he loses you the game, fine.

Alright, let's talk about how that one got away from the Mets. youtube.com/live/JfSPgWRHC…

Since there’s no world that they ever trade J-Ram, I’ll go even further. I’d trade Benge, Mauricio, Baty, Vientos, McLean and Baez for J-Ram. They can have Tong too, I don’t care. Lindor, J-Ram, Soto, Alonso. We’re playing MLB The Show at that point.

Never removed it from being my pinned tweet. Always believe

Rob Manfred saw all the flack the NBA gets for no one taking their All-Star Game seriously and said hold my beer.

Didn’t know Tong was this personable. It’s not nothing that a 22-year-old is this comfortable talking to the media. Especially when you might one day play for the Mets.

Saturday afternoon lineup in KC.

Saw Soto at DH and got worried, was thinking they better not bench Vientos after that hit. Also, wonder if Soto is a little banged up. He looked it running around the bases on the double. He did foul one off his leg last night.

12 to 6 doesn’t do that curve justice, that thing is starting above the clock and getting buried to the floor! 👀

Ready to hit the ground running in the second half.
