Polllyanna voice: Mullins went 2 for 3!
I sometimes think that our #Mets are stuck in the world of the “three true outcomes.” Yesterday, they had two home runs out of five hits. They struck out ten times. AI tells me that they average 7.96 hits per game (23rd in MLB).
I’d like to see more hits and fewer strikeouts. Bat to ball. #LGM

I won a couple of American #mahjong hands yesterday. As the only male in the game I was keenly aware that in the eyes of some players I had outperformed my anticipated gender competency. What a great reversal of the patriarchy!
