If we really care about wins, we can reduce the starting pitcher requirement from five innings to four. Or three. It wouldn't be even close to being the stupidest innovation we've seen in recent years. I really think the win should be more at the discretion of the official scorer. If a starter goes eight scoreless innings, and the reliever allows the game to be tied and then is still in the game when the winning run scores, he gets the win. The scorer should have the ability to override that.

I guess they couldn't get Paul or Ringo.

AI really is very useful, but you can't take what it gives you on absolute faith. It's better to only use it as a starting point.

I asked Microsoft Copilot about this, and here's the response I got:

There's been talk that Ryan Clifford may be the first baseman of the future. That may or may not prove to be the case, but I doubt he'll be ready to take the full-time job in April of 2026. I don't see Lindor at first base in 2026.

In April it looked like the sky would be the limit for Pete this winter. I'm not surprised that he didn't keep up that pace, but his numbers have been a bit less spectacular since then. Before May 1, he was .343/.474/.657. And since May 1, over a course of 84 games, he's been .238/.305/.456. This is very comparable to his 2024 numbers of .240/.329/.459 We can be pretty certain he's going to opt out, and this winter he'll be a year older than last year (as will we all) and he won't have a QO. But will he once again turn out to be more valuable to the Mets than to anyone else? I really don't know, but in a little over two months this is going to be a hot topic again.

Yeah, we should take a poll in the forum to force a new name on them. How about "Logo Churners"?

Do you believe in "third time through the order"?

When I see the subject of this thread, I always want to respond, "Yes, I'm certain that it happens all the time." -
And the front office.

I wonder if it's inevitable that this will creep up to the big league level. Maybe some day the White Sox will become the Deep Dishes and the Giants will become the Sourdough Hair Flowers.

Certainly not by age. He recently turned 37. -
I hope he gets a nickname of "Moon". And I'll be surprised if many people here get that reference.

Ronald Wayne Garrett?

Jacob Seth Lugo?

If The Price is Right, then yes.

Charles Sid Fernandez?

Charles Ray Knight

The two home runs he gave up in Milwaukee last October set the stage for Pete Alonso's memorable home run.

One of the things that helped me get over my kneejerk reaction to losing Drew Gilbert is the memory of Jarred Kelenic. I remember the angst around here when he was traded, and how dealing him for Cano was going to be a disaster. (Someone here, don't remember who but, I think, someone who's not here anymore, said Kelenic was a certain Hall-of-Famer. That was ridiculous.)

Mike Piazza was a rental too. He fit the definition that Gwreck shared above. Even if you eventually buy the condo that you're renting, during the time before the purchase, you were a renter.
-
I voted like. I originally thought the price was too high but as it's sinking in, I'm okay with it.
-
Maybe they can also get a Yoenis Cespedes.
-
I wonder if this will prompt the Mets to give Jett Williams more outfield time?
-
Seems like a lot to me, too. Of the three, I most regret losing Gilbert.

Butto, Gilbert, and Tidwell, says Gary.
