Not sure how often we will see all 4 Baby Mets in the lineup the rest of the year though. For example, Buck Showalter told Gary Cohen he might not play Brett Baty against lefties on contending teams down the stretch because they "owe it" to the other teams. https://t.co/tFiCJq6K6i

— Mike Mayer (@mikemayer22) September 6, 2023

Buck Showalter should play the best lineup down the stretch against teams in contention, because that how baseball should be played.

Billy Chapel had a sore arm, but #Tigers manager Frank Perry wanted him to pitch against the #Yankees

1968	Jerry Koosman, who sets a new franchise mark for victories, getting his 17th win of the season when the Mets beat Pittsburgh at Forbes Field, 4-3. The rookie southpaw, en route to a 19-12 record (.613), breaks the team record established by Tom Seaver last year.
1973	To prevent an injury, the second game of the Mets-Expos doubleheader at Jarry Park is delayed for 11 minutes. The setting sun over the rim of the Montreal ballpark makes it impossible for the first baseman to see the ball being thrown from certain positions on the field.

1978	In a 9-4 victory over the Expos, Mets backstop John Stearns establishes a new mark for National League catchers with his 25th stolen base. Johnny Kling swiped 24 bases catching for the Cubs in 1902.
1984	On his way to hurling a one-hitter, Dwight 'Doc' Gooden fans Cub Ron Cey for his 228th strikeout, setting a National League rookie record. The Mets phenom passes Grover Cleveland Alexander, who established the mark in 1911 with 227.
