Wow he was choking up a lot. Did that bat even have a knob?

He's had some long at bats today.

You still doing that rowing machine?

Cowser is in.  Forgot he came in for O'Hearn.  Ok

Might come to some sort of mutual parting of ways.   They have talked about taking a step back and retooling to be good in '25, I don't know if Buck wants to voluntarily go through a rebuild year.

I was surprised that he is only 67. It seems like he has been 75 for the past 30 years. Still, I can think of other things to do besides rebuilding the Mets.

Send Mountcastle down every year for 3 weeks.  Sheesh.

[Gurgi]

Maybe Mounty needed that time off.  He seems a different dude right now.  Cant hate on a guy playing pretty damn good night after night.

In hindsight after a reversed replay call sure. But what are the odds of that happening 9 times out of 10?

In a close game, it's wiser to play the odds. But now thay we've broken it open we can afford to be more aggressive and take bigger risks.

Urias also had no business scoring through the stop sign. Seems the O's have something on the Mets defense.

Great defensive play by Mountcastle there

[dystopia]

Baumann... 5 outs on 10 pitches. Bring him back out.

Not much.

Had Hernia surgery back in May and still have some issues with the scar tissue.

Seems pushing heavy things isn't a good idea.

I hope to start back up soon, the heat down here makes even going for walks pretty dreadful.

He faced one batter. I would roll with Baumann.
