Great cat and mouse by JV to get that last strikeout. I always wonder how in tune he is to setting up the whoel at-bat to get that pitch that he knows is irresistible.

Year and years ago, SI did a brilliant piece with Greg Maddux describing every single pitch he threw for a game, and the how and why of how they picked it. WOuld love to see something like that from JV.
I also once read a Tony Gwynn article where he took us inside 2 or 3 At Bats vs Maddux that resulted in hits and how Maddux was pissed by the 3rd one.

I love that kind of stuff
Have you read Ron Luciano's books about umpiring? I think they are mostly from the 80s.

That was some Freshman B defense by the Mets.

Feels like the Mets are just missing on a lot of pitches, but you can't argue with the zeroes. I never thought JV would be this good after all the missed time, but it feels like his mental game is the best in the game right now.

Speaking of that Yankees double header, has there been any info released on that day? I assume with it being a day/nigh DH they'll try to clear the stadium between games?
Thinking of taking that afternoon off and grabbing tickets.

I picked him up in Fantasy a few weeks ago. He's won 3-4 low-scoring games in a row. Destroyed the Dodgers a couple of weeks ago with 10 K in 6 innings, but the two wins since that were both vs. Miami so not exactly the ironclad resume. Only given up 3 homers in 65 + innings this year.

Decent job? He's been pretty fantastic. At 70 pitches in the 7th

The Astros' broadcast should start considering an extra commercial or two when Castro leas off the inning or is up with 2 outs. You won't miss anything and you can make some extra advertising $$.
