In the post game, Buck did not sound optimistic about Dom Smith's ankle.
The 27th man for Game 2 has not yet been announced. I assume it's a relief pitcher. We may see him.

I'm calling it now. Dom to the 10 day IL. Calls for Vientos increase. Mets recall Daniel Palka or Travis Blankenhorn and slot them into the left-handed half of the dh platoon.
It was an excellent scoop. That in-between hop that infielders either charge or hang back, in order to avoid. The first baseman does not have that luxury.
Keep letting a 209 hitter with ZERO home runs swing from his heels every pitch.
Keep the bent knee with a pigeon toed front foot cause it’s working so well for you !!!

Horrible job by the home plate ump, ejecting a player while he's walking away and not showing up the ump at all.
Our hitters have performed in this doubleheader as if they think it's the all-star break already. And it could cost us a game against a vastly inferior opponent.

We're probably saving Hunter to close. It's really Lopez vs Rodriguez.
Only to scrap 2 here is a joke.
It's so dumb they didn't give Vientos a shot for a month. Maybe he hits. If he doesn't no value is lost. Really questionable decision by Eppler.
Well no matter who pitches from from here on out should they give up a run I won't put the loss on them.
It's really not that much for a player like him, also it included a bunch of deferred money.
Holy crap. I'm exhausted, sitting on the couch, from watching these 2 games.
Yeah im sure the Cubs fans are despondent but they put on 2 tremendous games today. For the fans both in person and us watching on TV. Defense was a huge difference.
Great day of NY Mets baseball. In and out all day, so some TV watching, car radio listening and some Audacy on my cell. LFGM
The umps are so much better today at balls and strikes. Eric Gregg was absurd but he wasn’t alone. The umps just took the strike zone and ran with it however they wanted. Now they’re being evaluated on it every day, and they’ve gotten better. They know that they can’t even widen their strike zone in a blowout because their stats will be their stats. But you have an electronically generated strike zone sitting right there in front of you on your TV screen and, understandably, you react when calls go against you. Maybe you want an electronic strike zone to be implemented. Sure, go right ahead. But make no mistake. Balls and strikes are being called better than ever.
I'm sure Braves fans watching this game are crying that the Mets are so lucky. Just want to point out that they lost 2 of 3 to the Cubs at Wrigley last month.
The problem with the electronic strike zone is the high strike. The width of the plate is fixed. Therefore, the robot umps are pretty much perfect at calling pitches on or off the corners. However, the top and bottom of the zone (particularly the top) can change from hitter to hitter. Haven't perfected that yet.
It worked out, but I agree with you.
My guess is that as long as the lead was only one run, he wanted to stay with his "innings guy". However, when he got that all important second run, then I thought he'd go with his closer for the evening. Whoever that was.
EDIT: In the presser, when asked about Hunter and Rodriguez, he said "somebody's got to pitch tomorrow".
Still with you. Not with Buck. Had Fri off and then big break. Worked out though so I'll roll with it.
