Blackburn was a pleasant surprise. He looked great! I’d like to see Alvarez pull the ball 1 time before getting too excited but that hit in the 10th was encouraging anyway 🤞 I don’t think there’s anyone in Syracuse to call up except Mauricio?
What a fun game. Worth the late night tachycardia!
I hope my open rooting for Mauricio’s promotion didn’t monkey’s paw Vientos. I think we should call up another pitcher for Vientos (assuming an IL stint) and let Mauricio play the week as Syracuse and then activate The Truth for 6/10.
Also, in the dad joke department, with our starter pitching as it crept towards midnight, couldn’t help but sing
Since Mauricio has been killing it in Syracuse, I think they have to bring him up. Regrettably, he hasn't been great from the right side in his short stint in the majors. Bad break for Vientos, a sour season for him so far. Hope it's mild. It would be huge if Alvarez can recapture his 2023 form. Big game from Blackburn. The Mets have one of those good problems with their starter excess.
Ronny bats both ways and has been effective from the right side. Alvarez did get two hits-we’ll take it, but his swing is still way off and not at all threatening.
Isn’t Mauricio a switch hitter?

So good to see Blackburn pitch so well. He had to overcome a lot to get back.

Gelreat game last night...but I could only make it through 8 before going to bed. 🥱
