Edgy MD Site Manager Posted November 25, 2025 Posted November 25, 2025 With all appropriate caveats about it being November 26 and all, the Mets aren't exactly set to throw a lineup out there that classes the Pirates off the field.
Benjamin Grimm Old-Timey Member Posted November 25, 2025 Posted November 25, 2025 Maybe I need to pay more attention. I don't think I've ever seen the name "Ji Hwan Bae" before.
Edgy MD Site Manager Posted November 25, 2025 Author Posted November 25, 2025 One does not see Ji Hwan Bae. If one is blessed, and that one stays completely still for long enough, one might sense that one is in his presence.Also, if one trades one of their mere two established starting-quality outfielders, one realizes that Ji Hwan Bae is probably their best option in center against righthanders, which Paul Skenes most certainly is.
MFS62 Old-Timey Member Posted November 25, 2025 Posted November 25, 2025 Maybe I need to pay more attention. I don't think I've ever seen the name "Ji Hwan Bae" before. His career (163G) OPS+ is 62. Lefty hitter (I use that term loosely)Later
Cowtipper Old-Timey Member Posted November 25, 2025 Posted November 25, 2025 Jared Young has solid dark horse diamond in the rough potential, a la Scott Hairston.
metirish Old-Timey Member Posted November 25, 2025 Posted November 25, 2025 Curious to see if Skenes will still be there by then
Edgy MD Site Manager Posted November 25, 2025 Author Posted November 25, 2025 By the way, how do you like March 26 for an opening day?
Benjamin Grimm Old-Timey Member Posted November 25, 2025 Posted November 25, 2025 Curious to see if Skenes will still be there by then I hate to be a downer, but this forum may not survive that long.

whippoorwill Old-Timey Member Posted November 25, 2025 Posted November 25, 2025 Curious to see if Skenes will still be there by then I think so!

Edgy MD Site Manager Posted November 26, 2025 Author Posted November 26, 2025 Maybe I need to pay more attention. I don't think I've ever seen the name "Ji Hwan Bae" before. He has a cousin from Brooklyn named Ji Hwan Epstein.

Edgy MD Site Manager Posted December 17, 2025 Author Posted December 17, 2025 I am not sure that I buy Jorge Polanco being the team's opening-day firsbaseman. The 2000 team faced the loss of a superior firstbaseman, and rather than try to replace his ceiling at the position, they just reinforced the floor by finding a non-firstbaseman in Todd Zeile, tried to improve elsewhere, and walked off with a pennant.So this could be something like that, but I don't know. Maybe McNeil is a better choice at first, and Polanco in left. McNeil may be our best choice at four differeint positions while not being a particularly good choice at any of them.Things have to unfold.
Edgy MD Site Manager Posted December 17, 2025 Author Posted December 17, 2025 Endy Rodriguez is a catcher who has been moved to first early in his career as injuries have continually stalled his development. Coming off ulnar nerve transposition surgery, it is unclear if he will be ready to either on opening day, which switches things around, Pirate-wise. Jhostynxon Garcia (the first Jhostynxon in MLB history!) joins the lineup and moves Cook to first.The Pirates' 2026 logo is "Who needs Ji Hwan Bae when you have Jhostynxon Garcia?!"

Edgy MD Site Manager Posted December 17, 2025 Author Posted December 17, 2025 Best ML nicknames since the very large [6' 3" / 250] D.R.-born Cleveland RF/1B/DH, Jhonkensy Noel, was given the handle 'Big Christmas' I like Jhonkensy. He has a big smile and cherubic cheeks like a Venezuelan Santa. He's a big swinger who hasn't been able to stick — and there's a good chance he won't, the way he's going, but I keep thinking he should come to bat to one of those metal versions of "Carol of the Bells."
The Hot Corner Old-Timey Member Posted December 17, 2025 Posted December 17, 2025 If that "projected" opening day line up stands, I believe it will be a very long and dreary summer for Mets fans.
Benjamin Grimm Old-Timey Member Posted December 17, 2025 Posted December 17, 2025 It won't. I mean the lineup won't stay as above. But the long and dreary may very well come to pass.
Edgy MD Site Manager Posted December 17, 2025 Author Posted December 17, 2025 Even if it is the opening-day lineup, it will not be the lineup that you should be banking on one way or the other. It will almost certainly be evolving throughout the year.
ashie62 Old-Timey Member Posted December 17, 2025 Posted December 17, 2025 The Ji Hwan Bae City Rollers could be providing entertainment on a frosty, to early for me 3/26
whippoorwill Old-Timey Member Posted December 18, 2025 Posted December 18, 2025 Will this be in Pittsburgh?
Benjamin Grimm Old-Timey Member Posted December 18, 2025 Posted December 18, 2025 "Who needs Ji Hwan Bae when you have Jhostynxon Garcia?!"His nickname is 'The Password' His parents should have been required to include a number and a punctuation mark.

Edgy MD Site Manager Posted December 20, 2025 Author Posted December 20, 2025 Will this be in Pittsburgh? The Mets will be the home team.The lineup card above honors the tradition of always putting the home team second.
whippoorwill Old-Timey Member Posted December 20, 2025 Posted December 20, 2025 Yes it does….Good I’ll wait til they come to Pittsburgh; maybe it’ll be warmer ☺️
Edgy MD Site Manager Posted December 23, 2025 Author Posted December 23, 2025 The Pirates have shaken things up, acquiring power-hitting secondbaseman Brandon Lowe from the Rays. Fangraphs has more confidence of his lefthanded bat being in the lineup against David Peterson than they do in Oneil Cruz getting the call.The Mets have shaken things up too, but in the other direction. Jeff McNeil's banishment allows Mark Vientos to put a glove back on and Jared Young to pick up his bat again.

The Hot Corner Old-Timey Member Posted December 24, 2025 Posted December 24, 2025 The Pirates have signed Ryan O'Hearn to a 2 year deal. He will likely take over at 1st Base for the Pittsburgh. O'Hearn had a solid year for the Orioles last season, but with the addition of Pete Alonso*, he became expendable. O'Hearn's line for 2025 was .283/.366/.437/.803 with 17 HRs & 125 OPS+. Nice pick up for the Pirates.*Damn it!
