Sleep well, my friend. I am all in, and ready.
How good has Dom Smith been in the past few games?!?

Was anyone sore about that? I’m just glad the Wilpons don’t own the team anymore because I can’t see them eating the ~37m he was still owed.

Last night was such a complete team effort that it was a joy to watch.
Buck seems to have them all bought in on staying focused and doing all the little things right. I think they genuinely like being around him because he is such a wealth of knowledge and insight, and a steadying force. I love watching Scherzer and him chatting during the games. Each of their intensity seems to amuse and calm the other one.

Ronnie LOVES how Scherzer and Bassitt break down their starts in the dugout with each other. And last night Keith mentioned how, when people aren't starting they're very engaged and talking in the dugout to each other and that's a GREAT sign of a real good team.

I've been listening to the "Mets in the Morning" podcast occasionally on my drive in, and today he mentioned how crazy it is that Carrasco has been relegated to a number four on this squad, which really shows the strength of the starting rotation even without Jake deWho.
They did a nice job on the postgame last night showing Nimmo running in from the on-deck circle and getting down on the ground to help direct Escobar as he was sliding into home. Perfect example of one of the little things these guys are doing automatically now.
The relay from McNeil for the put out at home was also thing of beauty, as were McCann's put out on the steal, and another solid and confident close from Sugar (aided by that sweet game-ending DP).
Hope we get another strong one from Cy-lor tonight.

Curious to see what Cy-lor/Big Drip does in his next couple starts. The HR was his Achilles heel last year and he's starting to get bitten by it again. Does Buck, Hefner and the Scherzer/Bassit type mentoring help him dig out of it where maybe the Rojas regime and guys like Thor/Stroman weren't very helpful in situations like this?

Who did the Mets almost get from the Sox for him? Bogarts, right? What a downfall.

Even though he’s from Connecticut, I never liked the guy. I thought he was a cock from the start. Seems like karma.

I don’t know that there were ever real talks, but from what I recall the talks were Harvey for Betts…

I did some googling and it was Betts. Allegedly the Red Sox offered him for Harvey in a one for one swap and Sandy obviously declined it. That’s a depressing what could have been.

Wow. That would have been an all time level blunder by the Sox if they pulled the trigger on that one.
