    I saw a new story, probably not from a real source, that says the Mets are considering Manny Ramirez as the hitting coach. Make of it what you will.
  2. Benjamin Grimm
    I'd be really surprised if he got six or seven years. Four or five is most likely. For that, I'd bring him back. He won't be easily replaced.

    It's nice that Gibbons became a Met again all these years later. I don't think he was part of the problem, but maybe he was. Maybe every bad move Mendoza made was because of something that John Gibbons whispered in his ear. So Richardson kept his job but most of the others are gone.

    This is a very surprising revelation. But it doesn't really ring true. I'm... confused.

    I've been fluctuating between denial and acceptance. I figured they still might pull it out and stagger into the postseason (and an early exit) but I also came to terms with the notion that we'd end up disappointed. 2007 gnawed at me a lot more than 2025 did.

    Sproat and Tong are prospective free agents?

    I tend to agree with that. I won't be upset if Mendoza stays, and I won't be upset if he goes. There have definitely been times when I've questioned his pitching moves, as recently as yesterday. As Edgy said, sometimes it may have been Mendoza's decision, and sometimes it may have been because he was following orders (or policies) from upstairs. We really can't blame him for the lack of reliable pitchers, but I do think he could have made better (or at least less damaging) use of what he had. It looks like he'll be back. Okay. Whatever. Let's see what kind of players he gets. I do hope that Pete and Diaz return.

    I had technical difficulties yesterday; MLB.tv terminated my subscription one day early and I had to deal with customer service to get it turned back on. So I missed the first few innings. Was there a reason that Manaea was pulled after 1.2 scoreless innings and 38 pitches? I know he hasn't been terribly reliable lately, but pulling the starter in the second inning is awfully risky. And/or foolish.

    I'm done with baseball until Opening Day. Oh well.
  11. Benjamin Grimm
    The math, at least, is simple. We'ee down to four possible outcomes, one of which favors the Mets.
  12. Benjamin Grimm
    An exception never proves a rule. In fact, it DISproves it.

    It seems you have mixed feelings about Cedric Mullins.

    Yesterday the Mets and Reds won, and the Diamondbacks lost. As we well know by now, both Arizona and Cincinnati have the tie-breaker advantage over the Mets, so the Mets have to finish with more wins than both teams in order to advance to the postseason. Mets Magic Number by team: Cincinnati Reds 3 Arizona Diamondbacks 2 If all goes well, or really, if enough goes well, the Mets could eliminate the Diamondbacks tonight and the Reds tomorrow. If that happens, they can get some Joey Lucchesi wannabe to start Sunday's game. [table][tr][th][/th][th]FanGraphs[/th][th]Baseball Reference[/th][/tr] [tr][th]Mets[/th][td]77.7[/td][td]68.3[/td][/tr] [tr][th]Arizona[/th][td]4.5[/td][td]2.1[/td][/tr] [tr][th]Cincinnati[/th][td]7.5[/td][td]20.2[/td][/tr][/table] With nine games remaining, there are 2^9 possible combinations of outcomes. That's 512. (Down significantly from the 32,768 from a few days ago!) Google Copilot tells me that the Mets end up with a playoff berth in 312 of those outcomes, a 60.9 percent chance if that's accurate.

    Maybe this will inspire Soto to hit seven homers in Miami this weekend. I'd welcome that!
  17. Benjamin Grimm
    Yes, I had missed that. But it's moot now. The Mets, with their 82nd win, have eliminated the Cardinals, Giants, and Marlins.
  18. Benjamin Grimm
    Dodgers are now up 8-0 over Arizona. (Two-run homer by Freddie Freeman.)
  19. Benjamin Grimm
    Meanwhile, Dodgers are up 4-0 over the Diamondbacks.
  20. Benjamin Grimm
    Brian Reynolds robbed of a game-tying homer, then shortly after, the third out. Reds win, 2-1.
  21. Benjamin Grimm
    Last stand for the Pirates. Down by one run going into the top of the ninth. The 2-3-4 hitters are due up.
  22. Benjamin Grimm
    The corners seem to be occupied for a while, with Nimmo and Soto still having years left on their contracts. If Ewing is also an infielder, he may find an easier path there.
  23. Benjamin Grimm
    Another groundout brings home the run, but now the bases are empty with two out. 2-1 Reds. Am I the only one watching this game?
  24. Benjamin Grimm
    Pirates get a leadoff double from the 7 hitter, who then advances to third on a groundout.
  25. Benjamin Grimm
    Going into the eighth. Pirates still down by two.
