Let's check in with Toby! Toby Hyde of MetsMinorLeagueBlog.com fame appeared on-air with Bob Ojeda and Eamon McAnaney during SNY's broadcast of a Brooklyn Cyclones game. As one might expect, they discussed the Mets' minor league system:
Bob Ojeda: "Do I really have to stand up?"
SNY Producer: "Yes!"*
Toby has experience broadcasting Savannah Sand Gnats games so it was no surprise that he impressed in Brooklyn.

It's time for Nitpicking With TWISNY! SNY mistakenly listed left-handed batting Cubs first baseman Anthony Rizzo as a righty:
This has been Nitpicking With TWISNY.
For those wondering, Kevin Burkhardt doesn't appear this week because he was on vacation for much of early July. He has since returned and is ready for a big second half with his Twitter friends:
