SLACKISH REACTION: Wait, what happened? A suspended game in the 10th? That’s fun! I didn’t see it as I went to bed at 10pm. I thought last night was a good example of baseball being boring. That one inning where the Mets scored took forever and was totally not exciting. Jake isn’t winning the Cy, you can let that dream go.
Meanwhile, David Wright played 3B for Las Vegas. Here he is in a Reyes de Plata uniform…surely to be a UNIcorn.

David was one for four, which you can read about here. What is infuriating is the the stupid cheap Mets are bing stupid and mostly cheap and aren’t going to bring him up.
The cheapness isn’t so much about this year, but it’s about how if he plays it will be harder to get a new insurance policy for 2019 and 2020. Poor David, he has done all this work and they won’t play him. Prediction: this gets VERY ugly.
Also getting ugly, Peter Alonso’s agents are upset that the Mets won’t give Peter a look in September. I get all sides. Seems the Mets are acting like they want to see Dom Smith play as if they aren’t totally done with Dom. The conspiracy says stupid cheap Mets. The anti-conspiracy is that the Mets are afraid Peter won’t do well in the majors yet – I know #TheNarrative is that he is Babe Ruth, but take a closer look at the AAA numbers – and if you are looking at Jay Bruce as first baseman, maybe it would be stupid to lower Peter’s trade value. I get it. Agents like to make money, that’s their job. I might be with the Mets on this one.
Oh yeah, totally forgot – Joey Bats was traded to the Phillies for basically “I dunno, give us something when you get a chance.” Whatever.
Vargy pitches today! We hope….we’ll probably get Vargas.
And you know who else pitches today bitches?
Not sure how much TDK recapping I can do tonight. Can the Reds puts him tom tomorrow?
