Mets History:

 

This Day in Mets History (@NYMhistory) 

7/22/1986 With two runners on in the 12th inning of a tie game, Keith Hernandez makes a miraculous play on a bunt to start a 3-5-4 double play

 

7/22/1986 Davey Johnson is forced to get creative after the ejections of Darryl Strawberry, Ray Knight and Kevin Mitchell. Johnson puts Gary Carter at third and rotates Jesse Orosco and Roger McDowell between pitcher and outfield. Howard Johnson hits a go-ahead homer in the 14th.

The most ridiculous team names in minor league baseball  

Binghamton Rumble Ponies 

The Mets’ Double-A affiliates used to be called the Binghamton Mets, which was unbelievably dull. They switched names in 2017 and settled on Rumble Ponies after fans voted on submitted names. It’s supposed to be after a carousel ride because apparently Binghamton is the “Carousel Capital of the World.” That’s a thing that exists. 

 

Matt Levine (@MattLevine__) 

Mets infield prospect Branden Fryman extended his hitting streak to four games last night. 

Since June 20, @BFryman is hitting .329 with five doubles and two triples for the Rumble Ponies. 

He has a .442 BAbip with an .813 OPS over that 19 game stretch 

 

Mike Mayer (@mikemayer22) 

Mets pitching prospect Tyler Stuart tossed 7 innings of two-run ball in his second Double-A start yesterday. 

He’s allowed no more than 2 runs in all of his 16 starts this year (1.62 ERA). 

 

Postgame Notes:

 

Joe Suozzi played in his first game since June 23 at Akron…

 

Jose Mena doubled to extend his hitting streak to a season-high four games…

 

Branden Fryman walked to extend his on-base streak to five games.

Cyclones:

 

Justin Rocke (@JustinRocke) 

Alex Ramírez set a Cyclones record last night & etched himself into MiLB lore. 

Alex is 1/5 in MiLB to register a 6-hit game in '23 & first in franchise history. 

He is the ony player in MiLB to have 6+ H and 3+ SB in a game since at least 2005. 

 

Ernest Dove (@ernestdove) 

Not sure if it's considered a bold prediction or not but I'm predicting Mets C prospect Kevin Parada sees AA in the next 2 weeks or so. Glove concerns understandable but bat seems ready, around Mets circles they are excited about his progress. Pre/post deadline seems right time.
