  1. The Mets are designating reliever Jorge López for assignment, reports Joel Sherman of the New York Post. The move comes after the veteran right-hander tossed his glove into the stands following a rough outing this afternoon against the Dodgers. After the game, López said he didn’t regret the incident and called the Mets “the worst team in probably the whole bleeping MLB” (video provided on X by SNY).

    Guess he won’t need that glove.

  2. Fryers and Gnats have both lost, so Dodger lead will be 6-1/2 over both. Snakes also lose, so it’ll be 9-1/2 over them. Rox could gain ground on all of them.

  3. You’ve got to be kidding. Good grief. Vargas gets called out on ball 4. And it was not even close.

  4. Dodgers (35-22)
    Mets (22-32)

  5. Heyward has the two toughest parts of the cycle, but do we want him to close it out?

    • Pretty sure they can, but guess the player would offer substitute balls/bats.

  6. If the infield is playing back that ball Rojas hit is probably a double play.

    • I guess they could have kept Knack and put him in the pen, but gather they wanted to keep their powder dry in case they needed him to start before Miller gets back.

      • Phillips will be back Friday, Kelly soon after. Yohan and Elieser should get their DFAs, while Banda might stick around.

  7. Fish feasting on Fryers, 7-1 at The Litterbox. Fillies swatting Gnats 6-0 at Software Stadium.

  8. Well, when you pull the starter after 3 innings and ask the bullpen to cover 6, odds are one of the relief pitchers will have a bad outing.

    • Especially when you have to rely on two absolute scrubs who’re only here because of injuries to Kelly and Phillips.
