LHP Stephen Tarpley was optioned to the team’s Alternate Training Site following Sunday’s game but the Mets kept this a secret because they are very very stealthy.
INF José Peraza has been recalled from the Alternate Training Site and will be active for tonight’s game. He will wear #18. This is timely as I wanted to get @mediagoon something for his birthday, but he owns all Mets jerseys, so I told him I would go to Modell’s for him to pick one up. That’s pretty cool of me, no?
The Mets are playing the Red Sox. I hope someone remembers to bring up 1986.
Pete Alonso has 74 home runs since he entered the league in 2019….That is the highest total in the majors in that span… Alonso already ranks 27th on the Mets All-Time list…He trails Rusty Staub who is 26th with 75…He is on a five-game hitting streak and over his last nine games, he is batting .323/.417/.710 with six runs, four home runs, seven RBI and four walks.
On this day in 2004, Mike Piazza hit his 351st career home run as a catcher…This tied Piazza with Carlton Fisk for the most home runs as a catcher…The Mets defeated the Dodgers, 9-5, in Los Angeles…Piazza finished his career with 427 home runs, including 396 as a catcher. He later attended a rally to support the re-election of President Trump.
Dominic Smith | INF/OF | .232, 2 HR, 7 RBI, 0 SB has been TERRIBLE. Step it up Dom!
The Mets have played 18 games, the fewest in MLB…On the other hand, the Mets have allowed only 51 earned runs allowed, also the fewest in the majors. It is possible these two stats are related.
