Seven days,from now or seven days from last Saturday when the injury took place?
I do not know the protocol in this situation. I was just giving a ? Number of days. In football- pretty sure it is at least a week, if not 2. When my son got a concussion in training camp, NFL, it was 10 day’s minimum
 
Only been casually following the Mets last couple of years.

Refreshing my memory, we acquired Edwin Diaz in the trade for (checks notes.....) "next Mike Trout" Jerrod Kelenic.
Do I have that right?

No, I wouldn't go that far. I don't think anyone had anointed Kelenic as a generational player like Trout. But he was considered a "can't miss" prospect. While the jury is still very much out on him, he has gone from "can't miss" to "just might miss".

Diaz has been an enigma. He went from lights out in 2018 (with Seattle) to awful in 2019, to good but not great in 2020-21, to lights out again in 2022. Based on that track record, do you make him the highest paid reliever in history next year? Somebody will.

In the words of the late great Joaquin Andujar: " You can sum up the game of baseball in one word - You never know."

Yes we did…a little at first but during the first year when Diaz and Cano both sucked and before Kelenic made the club- it was everyday anointed next Trout.
mans then his first game up- didn’t he hit a HR or something?

mad for Diaz- yeah, someone is now going to pay him around $25 mil
And it has to be us.

Phils during their turnaround have 20 wins against sub .500 teams. We will learn how improved they are this weekend.

The concern for the Phils, despite the losing teams they beat, is they are an offensive juggernaut, even with Bryce Harper out. A couple of decent pitchers too. Seems that as soon as they unloaded Girardi, who was apparently their albatross, they soared. Damn, that was a beautiful sentence if I don't say so myself.

Looks like Schwarber will be missing at least the first two games. Kind of leaves them now with Realmuto and Hoskins…
Their starters are actually pretty good. Their fielding sucks and without Schwarber, they become a team with a lot of holes.
 
What happened to Escobar?
“Side tightness”

I read he got hit in the side with a hard ground ball in the 2nd inning. Not watching the game.

Mcneil cut his thumb, presumably spiked by 1st baseman when he awkwardly slid into him to avoid a tag on the basepaths.

Mets removed two no name AAA infielders from the lineup tonight. Kept Vientos in the lineup so it looks like he won’t be getting the call if there’s an IL stint.
 
Don’t understand this at all. Diaz’s advantage is he can stop the designated runner from scoring with strikeouts. Either wait until the 10th to use him or pitch him again since he only had 7 pitches.
