Happy David Wright day!
Snapped this picture of him after he exited his last game ever on Sept. 29, 2018
He came strolling through the area outside the press box and said “what inning are we in?”

Hi, good morning
Enough with the bullpen games
Enough with the bullpen games
Mets’ reliance on bullpen games is flawed and costly, and must end now
While keeping Nolan McLean and Brandon Sproat in the minors, the Mets cost themselves two games in the past week by deploying a bullpen game strategy.

Brandon Sproat fired 7.0 shutout innings tonight for Triple-A Syracuse, allowing three hits, walking none, and striking out three
He hasn’t allowed a run over his last three starts
Would’ve been interesting to see what he could’ve done Sunday vs. Yankees or today vs. Orioles

Mets are so close to having Sean Manaea, Kodai Senga, and Jesse Winker back
They just need to persevere without them for a bit longer
4-4 over their last 8 games is baby steps toward stabilizing things after that awful stretch

Carlos Mendoza said Sean Manaea was *not* in consideration to pitch Sunday vs Yankees
So plan is:
Manaea pitches tonight
Manaea makes another rehab start next Tuesday, because there are no minors games on Monday
So earliest he’ll return is July 13, day before All-Star break

Nolan McLean last pitched on June 27 for Triple-A Syracuse

Theoretically, in world where Mets consider calling either of them up, McLean could start Friday or Sunday
Same goes for Sproat
Currently Blackburn on Friday and TBD for Sunday

Mets have David Peterson listed as tomorrow’s starter against Brewers, so seemingly no plan to call someone up for tomorrow and push Peterson back
Mets need someone to fill in on Sunday

Unless Mets alter rotation or do bullpen game, they’ll need spot starter Sunday vs Yankees
That’s because tonight’s postponement pushes Holmes (who would’ve started tonight & Sunday) to tomorrow
Options on 40-man for Sunday:
Waddell
Hagenman
Non 40-man options:
McLean

Apropos of nothing, but the fact that Jonah Tong hasn’t been promoted to Triple-A Syracuse yet is wild
In 67 innings over 13 starts, here’s what Tong has done:
1.75 ERA
0.91 WHIP
31 hits
107 strikeouts (14.4 per nine)
He’s toying with hitters at the level he’s at

Jesse Winker sliding to the 60-day IL is a paper move to fit Frankie Montas on the 40-man roster

There was no shot he was returning before July 5
He’s making progress, though. Was running on the field yesterday

Mets picked an interesting time to option Francisco Alvarez to the minors
Coming off a 2-for-5 performance with a 450-foot homer
But his overall offensive production — and defensive shortcomings lately — were obviously a huge issue

But two questionable decisions he made last night contributed to maddening loss to Braves
