Luis Rojas discusses the impact of Brandon Nimmo returning to the Mets' lineup pic.twitter.com/t9OrGMREQT
Fans (and broadcasters) never agree with every move a manager makes in real time, but Luis Rojas always has a sound explanation for his strategy whether it works or not. Couple that with the fact that he’s bright and his players love him and the Mets are in really good hands.
— Howie Rose (@HowieRose) July 5, 2021
Zack Scott has been very impressed with Luis Rojas since he's gotten to know him:
— SNY (@SNYtv) July 5, 2021
"Such a good, genuine person. He's very open-minded, we have very good conversations. I've really enjoyed getting to know him, it's been one of the best parts of the job." pic.twitter.com/6S8R8UXJqj
Zack Scott says the Mets are "not opposed" to trading for a short-term rental, but adds that you have to be careful with those types of deals:

Best wishes to Keith Hernandez, who needed eight stitches on his big toe following a hot tub-related gardening accident, per Gary Cohen on the SNY broadcast. Looking forward to seeing Keith back at the ballpark later this week.

Robert Stock and Nick Tropeano, two recent minor league acquisitions, are both options to start Wednesday for the Mets. It's their final open rotation slot before the All-Star break. Stock in particular is "a strong option," per Luis Rojas.

NY
Post: Fred Wilpon’s sale of New York Mets broadcast channel SNY a dud. “Wilpon
and Katz have loaded down the profitable SNY with more than $800 million in
debt over the years, creating yet another sales hurdle because they cannot
lower the price below what they need to pay off the debt.”
Ken Davidoff NY Post: Mets deserve pitcher like Jose Berrios at MLB trade deadline. “Berrios, the 27-year-old right-hander, owns a 106 career ERA-plus and 118 this season and will be eligible for free agency after the 2022 campaign. He is solid, not spectacular, and could slot in as the fourth starter. For sure he would be worth giving up shortstop Ronny Mauricio, whose position is blocked by Francisco Lindor for the foreseeable future.”

Born on this date:
- Willie
Randolph (1954)
- Lance
Johnson (1963)
- Jordany Ventura (2000)
|
1962 |
Rod Kanehl,
appearing as a pinch-hitter, hits the first grand slam in Mets history, going
deep off Bobby Shantz
in the eighth inning of the team's 10-3 victory over the Cardinals at the
Polo Grounds. The bases loaded round-tripper comes in the 79th game of the
franchise's existence. |
|
1962 |
In a rare Mets victory, Gil Hodges
goes deep off Redbird hurler Ray Sadecki
for his 370th and final home run of his career, finishing tenth on the
all-time list and with the most round-trippers ever hit by a right-handed
batter in the National League. In attendance at the Polo Grounds contest is
eight year-old Howie Rose, the future Mets radio voice watching his first
major league game, and Ralph Kiner, the play-by-play announcer for the
expansion team, who will have the quiet first baseman on his postgame show,
Kiner Korner, reminding his guest that the right-handed NL home run mark had
been established by him in 1954. |
|
2004 |
Recently acquired outfielder Richard Hidalgo
establishes a club record, homering in five straight games for the Mets. In
16 games with New York, the former Astro has eight home runs, compared to
hitting just four with Houston in 56 games. |
1970: Tommie Agee hits for the cycle to pace the Mets to a 10 - 3 win over
the Cardinals. Jim McAndrew is the winning pitcher.
1976 - Houston's J.R. Richard allows 10 walks but no runs in shutting out
the Mets, 1 - 0, in 10 innings. Starter Jon Matlack is the losing pitcher.
2004 - Recently-acquired outfielder Richard
Hidalgo establishes a club
record homering in five straight games for the Mets. In 16 games with New York, the former Astro has eight home runs compared to just four
he hit with Houston in 56 games.
2010: Johan Santana provides his own run support, banging the first homer of his
career in a three-hit shutout of the Cincinnati Reds, 3 - 0.
The Mets' ace
connects off Matt Maloney for a solo shot that opens the scoring in the 3rd.
