Actually, there was no row 20 because the rows were alphabetical and the five sections sandwiched in-between five through eight (odd numbers along the right and even numbers along the left) were between either side of home plate and the dugout.

But I have often sat in the left field loge sections 26, 28 and 30 in the first few rows of the reserved seats and know I would not have seen that catch either due to the natural laws of geometry that no architect can compensate for regarding the elimination of the line of sight as the degree of the angle is reduced due to the relationship between height and distance…. , which is different than having an expensive restaurant angled toward and situated closer to the field in relation to the level below in order for it’s patrons to have a better view of the field at the expense of those sitting in the less expensive level above.

Nice to see Davis get a hit for a change hopefully he can string a bunch of them together. Duda’s blast was just awesome. I had almost forgot how far he can hit em.

Positives for me was obviously the solid pitching by Gee, Byrdak and Ramirez. 4 games over .500 now just need to win a few in a row rather than the win one lose one of late.

Enjoy your holiday weekend everyone.

LGM!

Good win. On to a Johan start tomorrow.

Blame the architect for not doing his job properly

LMAO – that was a good one!

This might prevent the Mets from being buyers even if it involved claiming one off the waver list or signing a player released by somebody else rather than parting with some from our minor league system.

Though I know it’s the same production crew, I’m just hoping this isn’t just a PIX thing and we will find a return to the confusion.

LGM!

I notice they changed the on Screen score graphic and the inning is no longer displayed between the scores!

I know someone complained about how annoying that was!

And thats why Sandy may have missed the history because for all he knew, Acosta worked out his problems last year and got it. But the numbers of Acosta in the past showed it isn’t that he took another step he just did well when he always does.

Maybe it has something to do with the temps or weather. Humid weather makes the ball travel less (hence the Humidor in Colorado!)
And when you look at the number the most glaring one is the one on HRs!

20HRs given up in the first half only 8 in the second.
So the temps and weather could very likely be his issue!

In a perfect world everything is based on who is deemed to be performing the best right now, but in reality, contracts and roster implications play a big part.

but you are correct that holding out hope he can do it again is likely the only reason he is still here.

the other option (short of just losing guys for nothing) is to trade “backwards”, which is what Omar had to do that one year when he traded a couple of older RPs for younger SPs (henry Owens, and that other dude). If they have the service time to require being protected, and you don’t have room, that at least converts them into a player that you can keep.

the pending clog also makes it a lot easier to trade away a guy for a rental if needed 9say, BP help?_
