Slackish Reaction: well I missed the first five innings and didn’t miss any hits. Then I saw some uninspired baseball. And I saw Jose Reyes make an out. Anyway the 4th place Mets are 2 games under .500 and already 4.5 back which nobody has noticed. I may have to start breaking out The Math soon. The Mets say the place was sold out on Saturday.
Sounds to me like Cespedes will be out a while but nobody can admit it because Mets. Read the Terry stuff in that link. Do the Mets know about this new 10 Day DL?
Reyes Watch Watch: The Post says he has lost his smile. WHAT? That was all he had left! Jose is 6 for 70. He will need to go 24 for 30 (a weeklong streak of batting .800) to get back to .300. He also needs to go 14 for 30 to get to TWO HUNDRED.
Even more proof that WAR is a stupid “stat”: Jose Reyes’ WAR is -0.7? He’s only .7 games worse than me imagining an average minor leaguer playing? I really can imagine a minor leaguer getting a hit twice a week, I really can.
Sunday Night Baseball! Woohoo, who doesn’t love a late start and ESPN’s announcing crew. I’m thinking about just taking most of this one off. I have soccer and like to go to bed early on Sunday. Hopefully the people in Los Angeles will like the match-up more than the people in those two taller cones on the right. I DON’T GET IT.
Other than that, seems quiet-isa in Queens. I didn’t hear anyone complaining about long Gnome lines so that’s good. Enjoy the sunny Sunday without baseball and choose your poison tonight between ESPN, metallic audio on WOR, horrible audio levels on the MLB APP WOR feed or I guess the Nationals feed. Wonderful.
