Bo Bichette is officially back with the New York Mets next season, but if they want to get the most out of their infield, it might be smart to move him to second base.

So obviously, Bo Bichette did not have a great season with the New York Mets in his first year here.

So Ryan Helsley will be back as an Oriole next year.

You just got to get it healthy and get more than 15 and a third innings out of him, which is what the Orioles saw from Helsley last in 2026 now another option has reportedly been decided on Francis Romero does a great job reporting um on the game uh has reported himself on Thursday that Luis Robert Jr.'s option has been declined by the Orioles now while Helsley was a player option Luis Robert Jr. was a team option member the Orioles claimed Robert off waivers from the Mets uh in early September bringing him in after the Mets had traded for him last offseason.

Robert, who is still only 29, all the talent in the world, big speed, big pop, great defender in the outfield, just has had his career ravaged with injuries throughout his long time with the White Sox, was injured again this year with the Mets.

Orioles picked him up.

and it was a need for them, right, to get a talented right-handed hitting outfielder when they were still in it in early September.

Now, Luis Robert Jr. has the talent at age 29 to very well be worth $20 million per year.

The Issue is how often he has played.

He played in only 61 games this year between the Mets and the Orioles because of injury.

And Danny Darwin.

who came to the Milwaukee Brewers in a four-way deal between Kansas City, the Mets, Milwaukee, and the Texas Rangers.

Six and eight on the year, a 3.74,

his 18th start of the year, and he has lost four in a row.

He will tell you defensively

that his arm feels better now than it's ever felt.

There's a National League score Cincinnati one to nothing over the Mets in the second inning and the Dodgers two to one over Pittsburgh in the second inning.

One of the big reasons Charlie said that his arm felt a lot better as he had a couple of years playing the outfield he had a chance to stretch that arm out.

And the Cubs certainly think that they do have that chance of winning the Eastern Division title in the National League.

The Phillies shut out the Mets last night, and the Cubs now find themselves going into this game only one game out of first place.

The chicken has not yet made an appearance.

There is a romantic note scheduled for a little bit later on in the day along about the fifth inning.

strikes.

Hard to believe, though, with him playing every day that that batting average is at .224.

I remember a couple years with the Mets, he was up there, wasn't he? And a soft liner to Rhino, and it's one away to start the fifth inning.

I think that average is going to creep up, Milo.

He's also an author who has spent decades exploring the unexplained.

Born and raised in New York City, but somehow ended up a Mets fan.

This guy has a fascination with the paranormal, which began with an unusual childhood experience, eventually leading him to hands-on investigations of Sasquatch, Dogman, UFOs, hauntings, and other mysterious phenomena.

A former Wall Street finance professional, Brian is the founder of the New York State UFO Project, the New York State Sasquatch Organization, and the New York State Dogman Project.

And I thought about how in baseball, the commentators are everything.

Like people are diehard fans of like the team with the Mets because of Keith Hernandez and kind of the way that baseball commentators have to find ways to capture attention because baseball is inherently so slow and inherently.

A lot of time to fill.

A lot of time to fill.

Led the staff in victory.

Was going for 20 against the Mets in his last start, but got hit on the elbow and had to leave the game.

The 3-2 pitch is high ball four.

To the right side of their first base runner.

Out of Arizona State, Oakland has Sal Bando, Reggie Jackson, and Rick Mundy.

The Mets with Gary Gentry and Duffy Dyer, and Larry Gurra, a fine pitcher in the National League.

Palmer, while he did go to Arizona State briefly, did not play there.

Here's the 1-2 pitch, a change into the dirt, ball, two strike two.

I'm just excited for free agency.

I mean, being a New York centric guy for the Mets, the season was over in April for the Yankees.

Obviously they went out weekly.

It's about to me, free agency.
