Edgy MD Site Manager Posted August 5, 2020 Posted August 5, 2020 Ariel Jurado is exciting. I don't have time to look it up, but I'm gonna guess this will be the littlest mermaid in Mets history.
G-Fafif Old-Timey Member Posted August 6, 2020 Author Posted August 6, 2020 Ali Sanchez has been optioned to the Alternate Site, or as they called it at Shawshank, The Hole. This trims the active roster to 28, as mandated by whatever the rule is this afternoon.
Benjamin Grimm Old-Timey Member Posted August 6, 2020 Posted August 6, 2020 Well, since he hasn't appeared in a game, I guess they won't miss him all that much.I had to look him up... He's a catcher. I think Rivera is on the IL, so we have two catchers remaining, Ramos and Nido?
ashie62 Old-Timey Member Posted August 6, 2020 Posted August 6, 2020 Maybe Gimenez can make Guillorme redundant
G-Fafif Old-Timey Member Posted August 7, 2020 Author Posted August 7, 2020 Zamora down, Gsellman back, Cordell at alternate site.
Benjamin Grimm Old-Timey Member Posted August 7, 2020 Posted August 7, 2020 I read an article in the Post that said that Stroman threw four simulated innings recently. Hope that means he'll be back before too long.
G-Fafif Old-Timey Member Posted August 9, 2020 Author Posted August 9, 2020 Wacha to the IL with right shoulder inflammation.Ali Sánchez returns.
G-Fafif Old-Timey Member Posted August 11, 2020 Author Posted August 11, 2020 A. Sanchez goes down, W. Lockett comes back.P. Sewald goes down, B. Brach comes back.K. Harris called up to big leagues.

Frayed Knot Old-Timey Member Posted August 11, 2020 Posted August 11, 2020 If it's a one or two inning 'bullpen start' then it hardly matters whether he starts or relieves or even and who starts and who relieves.
G-Fafif Old-Timey Member Posted August 14, 2020 Author Posted August 14, 2020 Drew Smith to the alternate site; Robinson Cano to the illusion that he's a vibrant young fella.
bmfc1 Old-Timey Member Posted August 14, 2020 Posted August 14, 2020 There's talk that teams will be able to add 15 players to the alternate site as there aren't enough to field 2 teams for a game.
G-Fafif Old-Timey Member Posted August 16, 2020 Author Posted August 16, 2020 Franklyn Kilome has been recalled.Brian Dozier has been Doz-ignated for assignment.
G-Fafif Old-Timey Member Posted August 18, 2020 Author Posted August 18, 2020 Peterson to the IL.Kilome to the Alternate Site.Drew Smith returns, as does Corey Oswalt.
G-Fafif Old-Timey Member Posted August 24, 2020 Author Posted August 24, 2020 Brian Dozier has been released.Go back to bed.
G-Fafif Old-Timey Member Posted August 25, 2020 Author Posted August 25, 2020 Today's machinations, via DiComo:-C Ali Sanchez will be activated as the doubleheader's 29th man.-C Tomas Nido and INF Andres Gimenez are going on the injured list for undisclosed reasons.-C Pat Mazeika and OF Juan Lagares are here and active.
Edgy MD Site Manager Posted August 25, 2020 Posted August 25, 2020 Well, I guess speculation now shifts to two of the youngest Mets.

Johnny Lunchbucket Old-Timey Member Posted August 26, 2020 Posted August 26, 2020 Dear Typewriter Chewing Gum,I'm more than a little concerned that the prototype cards shared here have considerable style inconsistencies.

Surely you do. And there's more-a-comin'. It's by design. (Get it? By design? Hoohah.

G-Fafif Old-Timey Member Posted August 26, 2020 Author Posted August 26, 2020 Patrick Mazeika is optioned, meaning Ali Sanchez's reward for allowing Jon Berti the final segment of his trip around the bases is promotion from 29th man on a 28-man roster to 28th man.The catching depth here is astounding.

Johnny Lunchbucket Old-Timey Member Posted August 27, 2020 Posted August 27, 2020 Like the Classic logo touch on Garrett. Fully expecting 80s Mets getting the thicker New Coke font.What I meant by style differences earlier was city names or team names in differing font. I assume they are authentic to the style but not certain

G-Fafif Old-Timey Member Posted August 27, 2020 Author Posted August 27, 2020 Wacha officially back. Drew (not Dom) Smith optioned.A 29th man will materialize for Friday's doubleheader, disappear Saturday, return Sunday.
