I repeat: Let. The. Kids. PLAY! And learn how to get through the bad times.

There is no question AJ Ewing is a key part of this team going forward. I think his resurgence is definitive proof of that.

The youngsters have endured a long season and with only 3 weeks left they've relaxed and know they can rest after the season, and can fi us now on improving their skills.

Agree all around but I gotta say that "incredibly" is not a synonym for "very".

Minors: Where are the best prospects last night? No Pitre (AAA), Voit, Rojas, Aiden Smith in the lineups? What gives. AA coming to final week. Dont need to see the entire rosters, only top guys finish up strong. Activated Clifford, play him.

And they need to try an reconvert Melendez to a third string catcher/oufielder type, like Clint Hurdle had in the late 80s.

What do you have against Mauricio?

I dont like his swing, lack of hustle, (either that or he is Joe Torre level slow), and his inability right handed, which, one would presume would be his natural side. I also dont like Vientos, but have not run out of patience, yet, with Baty and Alvarez. We know , sort of, what Mauricio is.

Is that Roberto Clemente in RF?

Touching story behind the honorary first pitches.

The young ace got out of a first-inning jam, but couldn’t work his way out of all of them. Played a tough team. It happens.

Mets had multiple chances to come back late. Made it a game.

Questionable to leave in the call-up for a third inning. Gave up what could have been a key run. Still, he pitched well in relief.
