A headline in The Athletics states, “Steve Cohen plans to add ‘certain voices’ to Mets’ front office.” What’s the purpose of doing that? What void does he hope those “voices” will fill? @MetsSky

Yesterday’s 15-14 #Mets win was just the fourth time in franchise history they played in a game in which the teams combined for 29 runs. Only twice have the Mets been part of a game with more than 29 combined runs—once in 1985 and once in 1987. In both of those games, 33 runs were scored. #MetsSky

The Rumble Ponies’ starting infield combined for nine hits yesterday, with Jefferson Rojas hitting a homer and two doubles. Vargas (SS) led off, followed by Pitre (2B), Rojas (3B) and Reimer (1B) as Binghamton rolled to a 16-4 win. #Mets #LGM #MetsSky
