    That was his reputation in Milwaukee, wasn't it? Kranick only pitched 20 innings in 2023, all in the minor leagues. So who knows what he's going to have in 2024? "Midwest Area Code" is a strange goal. Kansas City has an area code of 913. Would we be happy with a 9.12 ERA?

    Okay, this is going to be controversial, but something unorthodox happened. Earlier this morning, with the voting tied at 7-7, I converted this thread to an Announcement, asking for a tie-breaking vote. That vote was placed within a couple of hours, giving DIDDLY SQUAT an 8-7 lead. When I went to restore this to being a Standard Topic, the voting got corrupted somehow. The database still reflects the 15 votes, but for some reason the display here in the forum only shows two votes. I don't see a way to fix this, so the voting will have to be cut short, and the win will be awarded to DIDDLY SQUAT. (It was unlikely that any more votes would have been forthcoming, but we'll never know.) Enthusiasts of PUT EM IN THE BOOKS will be justifiably outraged, and this will be discussed for decades to come, but the situation is what it is. http://leaptoad.com/mets/covers/images/2023/2023_03_06.jpg>

    These days 200 innings seems astronomical.

    Poorly, I would think. With hindsight, does anyone think otherwise?

    Sad, of course, but it sounds like he's been gone for a while. My grandmother lived the last nine years of her life not really knowing who anyone was. I was sad when she died, but not as sad as I would have been if she had still been herself.

    We've now seen all eight polls from the third round. Once these polls close, next week, we'll be down to eight remaining covers. Voting for the fourth round, which will establish our Final Four, will begin the following week, on January 22. Meanwhile, we have two active polls that are currently deadlocked. Anyone who hasn't voted in on or both of these polls is invited to do so: https://phpbb3.leaptoad.com/mets/viewtopic.php?f=1&t=330072023 Tabloid Cover Derby Round 3.06 DIDDLY SQUAT! vs PUT 'EM IN THE BOOKS! https://phpbb3.leaptoad.com/mets/viewtopic.php?f=1&t=330142023 Tabloid Cover Derby Round 3.07 RE-PETE OFFENSE vs FUNDING NIMMO

    Martino also mentioned that $10 million figure on Mets Hot Stove yesterday. Said that it's not a hard number, just an approximation.

    I guess I should book my audition now, although I'm a bit insulted that I would even need to audition. 😠
  20. Benjamin Grimm
    Yeah, overall it's a weird cover. I'm surprised that it currently has a lead, albeit a narrow one.
  21. Benjamin Grimm
    Apparently Hubie Brooks never played third base for the Expos.
