May 2nd-May 8th

May 2nd, 2025: Dylan Cease begins his rehab assignment in AAA today.

We opened the series with an ace-off, Walker Buehler (2-0, 1.45 ERA, 0.81 WHIP) taking on Noah Syndergaard (1-2, 2.48 ERA, 1.02 WHIP) at Citi Field. Buehler beat New York, Thor lost to us. We scored early and often, and took the opener 9-1.

Buehler went 5, allowing 3 hits, a run, 2 walks, and 8 strikeouts. Shoehi Othani is truly brilliant, 4 shutout innings with a hit and 4 strikeouts. He earned the save for his effort.

Thomas Dillard was a perfecr 4-for-4 and a triple away from the cycle. He scored 4 times, walked once, and drove in two. Lazaro Armenteros was 3-for-5 with 2 doubles and 4 RBI's. Deshawn Hardamon was 2-for-5 with a double. Vladimir Guerrero Jr. finally got his average to the "Mendoza Line" and was 1-for-4 with 2 runs, a solo homer, and a walk.

Fun Fact: Mario Mendoza's career average was actually .215, and hit between .190 and .210 only twice in his 8 seasons in the majors.

May 3rd, 2025: Jake Florence (2-1, 4.68 ERA, 1.40 WHIP) took on David Peterson (0-0, 3.38 ERA, 0.75 WHIP) in game two of three. The Mets got four in the first and evened the series with a 5-2 win.

Florence had a rough outing, going just 2 innings with 5 hits, 4 runs, and 4 strikeouts. Ramon Perez went 4, allowing just a solo homer with a walk and 3 strikeouts. Ernesto Estrella finished the last two innings, striking out 4 of the 6 hitters he faced.

Thomas Dillard was 1-for-4 with a two run homer. Scott Kingery was 1-for-4 with a run and double. Isaac Nunez and Austin Hendrick were both 2-for-4, but Hendrick got a double.

May 4th, 2025: We looked to win the finale, with Steve Paustian (0-2, 5.68 ERA, 1.58 WHIP) taking on Michael Wacha (1-1, 2.48 ERA, 1.04 WHIP). The Mets got 4 in the 2nd and took the finale 7-1.

Paustian had a rough outing, 4 innings with 5 hits, 4 runs, 4 walks, and 3 strikeouts. Patrick Raby allwoed 3 runs in 1.1 innings with 3 walks and 3 hits. Perez tossed 1.2 more innings, with a hit, walk, and 3 strikeouts.

Jon Reid was 2-for-3 with a double and steal. Jr. was 2-for-4 with a run scored and double.

We really need the day off tomorrow, as the whole team is worn out...

May 5th, 2025: We've dropped to 15-13 and fell to 14th in the Power Rankings. The Mets rank #1.

Rangers LF Michael Conforto hit three homers in a 7-3 win over the White Sox.

We're off to Washington to face the Nationals. We'd see Jacob Heatherly (0-2, 5.09 ERA), Gage Hinsz (3-0, 4.15 ERA), and Breiling Eusebio (1-0, 8.84 ERA) as we look to get back on track.

May 6th, 2025: The draft pool was published today, and here are the top guys (My scout/OSA):

1. RHP Bobby Bell (1.5/4.5)
2. RHP Jody Butera (2.5/5)
3. CF Josh Miller (3/4)
4. RHP Jim Anderosn (1.5/4.5)
5. RHP Joe Helms (0.5/4.5)
6. RHP Joe Rendenbaugh (0.5/4.5)
7. RF Dan Comer (2/4.5)
8. RHP Jerry Brock (2/5)
9. RHP Mike Griffith (2/4)
10. RHP Chris Dorman (2/4.5)

Looks like a lot of RHP talent according to OSA.

My scout isn't the biggest fan of this class, although he loves Caleb Davis (5) and Jared Lackman (5), a pair of 18-year-old righties. Rice SP Jorge Mota (4), 3B Joe Reimer (4), and Canadian CF Teagan Reusch (4) are the next level. The third tier is SP Juan Mariscal (3.5), last year's 3rd overall pick and Mota's teammate Juan Maya (3.5), and RF Jon Sexton (3.5). If I don't get one of these guys, I might roll my pick over.

Looking at my unsigned 2022 guys, here's where they are now:

5th Rounder: SS Arturo Sepulbeda (0.5/0.5)
9th Rounder: SS Shiloh Lias (0.5/0.5): Selected by the Mets in the 13th Round of the 2023 draft.
12th Rounder: 2B Sam Holt (0.5/0.5)
14th Rounder: 3B Steve Thompson (0.5/0.5): Selected by the Pirates in the 26th Round, the released. Signed with the Yankees, the released. Signed with Boston.
18th Rounder: C Jeff Bryant (0.5/0.5)
20th Rounder: 2B Jon Shelton (0.5/0.5)
23rd Rounder: C Josh Palmer (0.5/0.5)
27th Rounder: 2B Harland Jauregui (0.5/0.5)
28th Rounder: C Kevin Kendrick (0.5/0.5)
32nd Rounder: CF Brad Maynard (0.5/0.5)
33rd Rounder: SP Brad Roberts (0.5/0.5)
37th Rounder: LF Jon Dye (0.5/0.5): Selected by the Pirates in the 40th Round in 2024 and then released.
38th Rounder: SP Mike Wood (0.5/0.5)
39th Rounder: SS Kevin Charles (0.5/0.5)

Chris Archer is out for the year with a torn ulnar collateral ligament. The Cardinals righty was 2-3 with a 6.43 ERA in a tough start to the year.

Tommy Kahnle decided to retired after a torn labrum. He'll ginish his career with a 3.67 ERA and 1.28 WHIP in 564.2 innings. He struck out 702 and walked 253.

The always injured Dylan Bundy is out for the year with a torn flexor tendon. The Dodger righty got hurt on rehab, and didn't pitch in the majors yet.

We opened the series in Washington with Mike Soroka (1-3, 3.00 ERA, 1.36 WHIP) battling Jacob Heatherly (0-2, 5.09 ERA, 1.57 WHIP) as we looked to win the opener. The offense was pitiful, as we dropped the opener 2-0.

Soroka allowed 4 hits and 2 runs in 7 innings with 2 walk and 2 strikeouts. Alpha Wuivers struck out 2 in the 8th.

We had just three, singles for Soroka, Isaac Nunez, and Lazaro Armenteros. Mickey Moniak was 0-for-2, but walked twice.

May 7th, 2025: Before the game started, I added a pair of catcher via trade for the DSL roster. I got Sergio Navarro from the Royals and Jorge Moreno from the White Sox. Two DSL players went to the Royals, three to the Sox.

We looked to avoid dropping to .500 with Dinelson Lamet (3-0, 1.16 ERA, 0.87 WHIP) taking on Gage Hisz (3-0, 4.15 ERA, 1.35 WHIP). We shut the Nats out 3-0, but there was a vrey big loss...

Lamet left after three with an injury, with the diagnosis pending. He tossed 3 innings with 3 hits, 2 walks, and 4 strikeouts. Marc Bjork got the win, going 2 innings with 2 hits and 2 strikeouts. Ernesto Estrella and Chasen Shreve earned their 5th holds, whil Jorge Moya got his 5th save.

Ohtani was brilliant, 3-for-4 with a double, two homers, 2 runs, and 3 RBI's. He had all, but one of our hits, a single for Lazaro Armenteros, who was 1-for-3.

May 8th, 2025: Dylan Cease was hurt on rehab, and tore his meniscus. He'll miss 4 months and will be placed on the 60-Day DL.

We needed to win the series with Walker Buehler (3-0, 1.50 ERA, 0.83 WHIP) battling Cole Ragans (4-1, 2.58 ERA, 1.07 WHIP). We got 2 in the 8th and 1 more in the 9th to win the finale 5-2.

Buehler went 6, allowing 3 hits, 2 runs, and 6 strikeouts, but got a no decision. Shreve got the win, allowing a walk and getting a strikeout in the 7th. Alpha Quivers got the hold with 2 strikeouts in the 8th, and Jorge Moya got 2 more strikeout sin the 9th for the save.

Isaac Nunez was 2-for-4 with a two run homer. Mickey Moniak was 2-for-5 with a steal and run scored. Thomas Dillard was 1-for-3 with 2 RBI's and 2 walks. Austin Hendrick was 2-for-3 with a walk. Seth Beer was 1-for-4 with 2 runs and a walk.

We get tomorrow off to head home before a nice little homestand.
