The Stearns Seven: 1. Bichette and a contract that makes trading him really difficult 2. Peralta for two Top-100 prospects 3. Polanco over Alonso (and the multiple other options) 4. Nimmo for Semien 5. Trading for Luis Robert 6. Last year’s bullpen trades 7. Frankie Montas What did I miss?

Are all of you getting ten texts a day from James Talarico? I want the guy to win but I also really want him to shut the fuck up

Salary cap now! #Brewers

#Brewers win! Salary cap now! Protect all the other teams from them!

You and me combined for zero hits today. The #Yankees combined for one.

Me to the #Mets after watching Skubal.

Flipped to the #Braves and saw Kim bat. .115 BA. 122 at bats and one double all year. That’s the only extra base hit all year. How?

Vientos and Semien has to be the worst right side of an infield in MLB. How could it be worse? #Mets

One benefit of the inevitable lockout and loss of games…minor leaguers still play. So Semien sits while Rojas and Voit and Pitre get ready to (hopefully) replace him

Rodon v Ray in #Yankees v #Padres

Baty for a Good Glove! Not a Gold Glove, just a Good Glove. #Mets

Simple rule on baseline calls: If the infield literally has a line where one side has all kinds of cleat marks and the other is pristine, a runner who steps into the untouched part is definitely out of the baseline. #UmpShow

I missed that special feeling of frustration that Vientos brings to the #Mets. Two at bats, three outs. He is truly gifted.

33 strikeouts in Alvy’s last 66 at bats. Wow! #Mets

I don’t always agree with #Mets moves but I usually can at least see the logic. Hagenman over Tong? Utterly ridiculous

No more LouBob! #Mets

Watching the #Yankees game since the #Mets are literally unwatchable tonight….and the #UmpShow is extreme. Five overturned calls and we just started the top of the 3rd.

Instead of Tong getting valuable experience, we have Stock. Five starts. Two truly terrible ones. Three others where he has gone a total of 13.2 innings. Why, #Mets why?

Way to go Senga! #GhostCloser #Mets

Throw a fastball to Montgomery. FFS.

I love seeing Senga just firing a fastball for that first strikeout. Trust your stuff.

Well, let’s see if Senga can battle when things go poorly. #Mets

LouBob has some kind of power. He seems to not get much of that and it went out to right-center. #Mets #LGM

Listening to the Orioles broadcast. Just ripping the #Mets and then Alonso hits a massive bomb. Sigh

As they always say about great pitchers like Stock, gotta get to them early. #Mets #LGM

#UmpShow at the #Mets game tonight. Not even close calls

Back to back walks. So Semien swings at the first pitch. Sigh. Somewhere Ronny Mauricio is waiting for a call. #Mets

Following the Yankees until the #Mets start. Gotta love a batter who challenges a 2-1 pitch with two out and no one on in the top of the 1st. And gets it wrong by about three inches. pitch 4 in this pic #ABS

It’s not that I expected the #Mets to score 7 runs a night for the next two months. But I wouldn’t mind if they scored again this season.

#GhostCloser !!!!!! Wow! @coachn.bsky.social

Stock was a great story last game. Today, oof.

Yan is something. not sure what that something is but it is not boring #Mets

Senga becoming a real high-leverage reliever is one of the more shocking things I can recall as a #Mets fan. @coachn.bsky.social you called it. Amazing.

The Yan Era has begun. Over-under is 1.5 brawls per week. #Mets

Polanco’s slugging went up 35 points from that home run. Wow. #Mets

Along with everything else going wrong this year, the @SNY telecasts have taken a massive step back. Latest example: Benge makes a great running catch to end the 1st and we’re in commercial before he has taken five steps toward the dugout. Replay?

Peralta gonna Peralta. He needs more #Rays juice to get good again.

Tim Kurkjian called Peralta “an innings eater” on the @IsThisAGreatGame podcast. I think we have different definitions of that term. #Mets #LGM

If the #Mets start Semien or Robert at any point the rest of this season, I cry foul. Just bury them as pinch-hitters and let all the kids play.

Can someone explain the argument that I am seeing that the #Mets are loading up on kid-level prospects so they can trade them in the offseason MLB talent? A trio of these guys is worth two months of a rental now but is magically worth multiple years of MLB talent in the offseason? What am I missing?

The Brazoban deal seems laughable. If that is all you got, just keep him. #FireStearns

Way too early take on the Peralta-Rays trade: Wow, Stearns still sucks at his job. “Hey Rays, I’m thinking you give me three dimes for this dollar.”

A Sunday day game where half the team is planning to fly to a new town tomorrow. Against Alcantara. With a guy coming off thoracic problems. In a meaningless season. If I were a betting man….I’d think the Marlins might just win today.

Polanco now fighting for history. OPS+ of 14 with a sub-.400 OPS and 4 RBIs in 100+ at bats. Rare rare territory. #Mets

Senga simply wilts every time as soon as anyone gets on base. Sigh. #Mets
