Here's a look at the Michael Wacha changeup that Gary, Keith and Ron keep raving about. He threw it 24 percent of the time last year, one of the highest rates in MLB.— Anthony DiComo (@AnthonyDiComo) July 28, 2020

Robinson
Cano took the collar and is now 1-12 on the season. It’s nice that he’s not
batting third and it’s good to see him being removed for defensive purposes.
Now there’s only one move left to make. Hopefully J.D. Davis
is still taking grounders at third base.
Metstradamus:
A Nice Beantown Surprise. “But Michael Wacha was a nice surprise. One run
in five innings with four strikeouts doesn’t sound all that spectacular, but
for what was expected of Wacha, and for what happened yesterday [Sunday], it’s
a very important outing. Add to that how good his changeup looked, and it’s
something to get a little bit excited about.”
Greg
Prince Faith and Fear in Flushing Outta Where? “Not bad for late July, eh?
Except for fabled Fenway being bereft of spectators...The sight of those empty red seats
behind home plate was shocking. Preferable to cardboard cutout characters from
Cheers...”
Mike’s Mets: Risky
Business – “The Mets gave their offense the whole weekend off. They blew a
game they should have won, and then barely showed up for the rubber game of the
series. If that wasn't enough, now the season itself is in jeopardy thanks to
the COVID-19 outbreak that hit the Marlins. Suddenly the Mets performing so
poorly was only the second-biggest bummer of the weekend for me.”
SNY.TV:
Mets add prospect David Peterson to taxi squad with Tuesday's starter still TBD.
Peterson is a candidate to fill in for Marcus
Stroman.
Yankees – Phillies Postponed.
Marlins – Orioles Postponed.

Davidoff NY Post: Why MLB doesn’t have coronavirus bubble like other sports.
“A bubble can’t contain Major League Baseball. That’s the reasonable contention
that Rob Manfred made Monday”.

1979

Cubs' slugger Dave Kingman, who
hit a pair of round-trippers yesterday, becomes the sixth player in major
league history to hit three home runs in one game twice in a season. ''Sky
King's' trio of long flies isn't enough when Chicago drops the Shea Stadium
contest to the Mets, 6-4.

1993
|
"That wasn't
even a big monkey that was on my back. It was a zoo. The guys treated it like
I had won a World Series game for them." - Anthony Young,
commenting on his teammates' reaction to the end of his 27-game losing
streak.
After a shaky one-inning relief
performance, in which he gives up the go-ahead run, Anthony Young's
record-setting 27-game losing streak comes to an abrupt end when the Mets
score twice in the ninth for a 5-4 walk-off victory over Florida at Shea
Stadium. The infamous streak, which covered a span of 81 appearances over two
seasons, included 14 losses as a starter and 13 as a reliever.
|
1996
|
Darryl Strawberry's 300th career
round-tripper is a dramatic ninth inning, two-run dinger which gives the
Yankees a come-from-behind 3-2 win over the Royals. The 34 year-old 'Straw'
will finish his stormy 17-year major league career with 335, hitting 75% of
his round-trippers as a member of New York's other team, the Mets.
|
2011
|
With their 10-9 victory, the
visiting Mets complete a four-game sweep in Cincinnati for the first time in
franchise history. The Great American Ball Park victory is especially
rewarding because Carlos Beltran, the team's best offensive player, was
traded to San Francisco during the series.
|
2012
|
Ike Davis drives in all of the
runs in the Mets' 6-3 loss in Arizona when he becomes the ninth player in
franchise history to hit three home runs in a game. The New York first
baseman joins Steve Finley (2004, Diamondbacks), Eddie Murray (1980,
Orioles), and Clyde McCullough (1942, Cubs) as only the fourth player in
baseball history to account for all three of his team's runs with solo homers
in a defeat.
|
1963: The Mets' 8 - 2 loss at Houston is their 22nd straight away from the Polo Grounds, and matches the major-league record set by the 1890 Pirates.
1970: Donn Clendenon sets a club record by driving in seven runs as the Mets beat the Giants, 12 -
2. A sacrifice fly and a pair of three-run homers does it. Jim McAndrew is the winner.
1992 - In the Mets' 8 - 6 win over the Phils, Howard
Johnson suffers a hairline
fracture of his wrist. He'll go on the disabled
list on August 3rd and miss the rest of the season.
2015: For the second time this year, Mets reliever Jenrry Mejia tests positive for a banned steroid, a few weeks after
completing an 80-game suspension. This time, he is suspended for an entire season.

Tylor Megill - happy birthday - have not heard a peep about him all year.
David Peterson debut today?
We will see Tom. Someone will need to come off 30 man roster to fit him in. Thinking it will be a player with options remaining.
You need to do a guy with options, because Marlins need bodies and would snap a guy up.
Tom -
Kewl... DFA Cano.
I've drank the koolaid on Wacha. Velo and off speed is not fake news.
I know I remember being told Megill was pretty filthy in Low A. I just honestly dont remember his outings in Lucie.
I don't know who has/hasn't got options, but Sewald, Oswalt and Gimenez come to mind.
When Brach and Hughes are ready, two more will have to be taken off the 30, too.
If I am Sewald, Oswalt, and Gimenez, I am thrilled to be getting paid at a MLB rate. Enjoy it while it lasts.
