Burger needs to be playing 1B every day when Eloy returns. 

For years, Jim Margulus has talked about having one too many bats. When Eloy returns, they may be there.

Where the hell has this energy been all year?

Burger/Sheets>Vaughn. 

12 hits, still the 5th inning. Crazy.

Aaaaaaahahahahahahahahaha this is against an actually good pitcher

His underlying stats are the worst in his career...ever since rookie season, at least. 

He won't get a big contract from CLE, just like Giolito from the Sox.

Finally some 2 out magic 

Thanks to Zonino for giving us the opportunity.

Man on base, so of course TA goes to pull mode, end of the inning. But...6 runs!

But one too few at 2B and RF unless you're willing to tolerate Sheets out there. 

They're HIGHLY unlikely to bench Benintendi or Vaughn for Burger/Eloy...so Burger gets screwed over again.

That was an oppo taco-burger !

If AB keeps running and not dive he catches that ball.

More All-Star outfield play from Benintendi. 

Grandal needs to retire.

Beni wasn't getting that ball, either way. Nothing wrong with the dive attempt, because it was going to the wall regardless.

Naylor now lifted, probably hurt on that stretch. I mean....I wouldn't be mad if we get a series vs CLE, with no Naylor or Ramirez....

That was...........some sort of throw from Yas.

Yaz leaving will be addition by subtraction

Grandal took Lynn's ball... or Lynn just made absolutely no effort to get it lol. 

Rocchio's first career hit. 

Yasmani losing fWAR points by the day.

Just start Burger at 3B and start Moncada at 2B and try to have a 2023 version of the South side Hit Men.  Late in the game they can move Moncada back to 3B and put Andrus in at 2B for defense.

Financially, sure. 

But Seby and Perez will hardly be a powerhouse catching combination. 

That said... Grandal only throwing out 13% and that even seems higher than it feels like.

Glad they got a run, but

1 run on 9 hits LOL

That is because we don’t take any walks to go with the hits.

Moncada just keeps hitting, going to anger some here.

Verlander got booed off the field in his home debut tonight in NY. 

THAT honeymoon period didn't last long. 

Mets will be 20-23. 

Atta boy AV.

Why does this ump hate Gavin?

How can an ump be so bad with the strike zone

Does the league do anything about these thin-skinned umps?  I think he called that one cuz Gavin complained about the other one.
