Quote of the Day
“I dwell on trying to win that ballgame tonight and those numbers and mathematic (facts) — I understand they mean a lot in our game, trust me, but it’s about trying to figure out a way to win the next game and string some things together. Tougher things have been overcome. I tell you one thing: I wouldn’t doubt these guys. I can tell you that. Someone’s going to make a mistake if they do.”
Mets manager Buck Showalter, whose team is 36-46

Saturday’s Den: Random stuff with 2023 half-over
July 1st already; the year is half over. Time flies, man.
— Pirates 8, Brewers 7
Carlos Santana’s walk-off homer sent the fans home happy.
Milwaukee led 7-3 in 7th inning.
— Reds 7, Padres 5 (11)
Spencer Steer’s walk-off homer sent the fans home happy.
Game was scoreless after five innings.
Padres tied game in 9th inning, led 4-2 in 10th.
San Diego has lost six in a row, is a horrific 37-45.
— Rays 15, Mariners 4
Seattle led 4-0 after three innings, 4-3 after five.
Tampa Bay scored 8 runs in 8th inning.
Mariners’ bullpen gave up 13 runs in 5.2 IP.
— Giants 5, Mets 4
Giants scored three runs in 8th to pull out a comeback win.
Rookie C Bailey’s 3-run homer was the big hit.
Mets are 6-19 in their last 25 games.
— Braves 16, Marlins 4— Matt Olson homered twice, drove in five runs, scored four times.
— Red Sox 5, Toronto 0— James Paxton tossed 7.2 scoreless innings.
— Astros 5, Rangers 3— Houston scored three runs in 6th inning, crept within four games of first place Texas in the AL West.
— A’s 7, White Sox 4— Oakland gets win #22 this year; Luis Medina threw five solid innings.
— Dodgers have 15 players on the Injured List, the most of any MLB team.
— Kansas City Royals dealt reliever Aroldis Chapman to Texas, for a couple prospects. Chapman has a 2.45 ERA this year, with 53 strikeouts in 29.1 IP.
— Movie of the Day: The Big Short (2015)— Three separate but parallel stories of the U.S mortgage housing crisis of 2005 are told.
One of the writers of this movie (Michael Lewis) is the same guy who wrote Moneyball; the movie has a great cast— Brad Pitt, Steve Carell, Ryan Gosling, Marisa Tomei, Christian Bale.
True story, which makes it a little scary. Very entertaining movie.

— Houston signed G Fred Van Vleet to a 3-year, $130M contract
