Between 2006 and 2016, 275 different Mets have earned Schaefer points. (Detailed information from our first year, 2005, was lost in the ezBoard meltdown). Here's the full list, with each player's individual high game: PLAYERPOINTSDATEJon Niese6.00August 27, 2013Steven Matz6.00June 28, 2015Yoenis Cespedes6.00August 21, 2015Alay Soler5.99June 10, 2006Johan Santana5.99July 6, 2010Miguel Batista5.99September 28, 2011Noah Syndergaard5.99May 11, 2016Zack Wheeler5.98June 19, 2014R.

Is there a rule against pitchers using artificial fingernails? I'd be a little surprised if there's not.

They've won every game they've played since Wednesday!

By the time the Mets signed José last year, Wright was already done for the season.

Remember, if you vote in every game you'll get a non-existent prize that's of zero value! My non-existent prize of zero value is one of my favorite keepsakes of the 2016 season! This is what was awarded last year: It wasn't an actual prize, just a virtual prize.

We're fourteen games into the season, and we have four people (at the moment) who have voted in every game, and a few others who are just a little short of perfect attendance. All games will remain open for another week and a half. Remember, if you vote in every game you'll get a non-existent prize that's of zero value!

The way I look at it, if you use five pitchers in a game instead of two, you have three more guys who might potentially be having a bad day. And that one bad inning that you get from that pitcher could cost you the game. If a pitcher is doing well, and hasn't thrown too many pitches, keep him in. Ride him as long as you can.

I'd keep running Montero out there until the All-Star break. And then if his ERA is still around 10.00, I'd start to use him a little less frequently.

That was ugly.

By "the break" do you mean the All-Star break? You'd continue to let him play every day, with a .085 batting average, for about 90 games???? Familia returns on Thursday.

Phillies telecast just replayed Mike Schmidt's 500th home run, at Three Rivers Stadium. Those old artificial turf ballparks were hideous.

It not ready to give up on José yet either, but it's not too early to think about how much more rope he gets.

And he does. Surely that's it for him tonight.

Come on, Zack. Finish off this inning...

Edgy MD wrote: Reyes one-hops one off the wall in right center and stops at second? That seemed like a double all the way to me. The ball bounced back to the outfielder pretty quickly. Although the Phillies' announcer did predict it would be a triple. Phillies booth also speculating whether Jose will be a Hall-of-Famer.

And José pops up the first pitch with two on to end the inning.

Mets have walked three times so far in the first, lead 2 to 1.

Why do I think he would have had a shorter suspension if he had punched his wife instead of taking PEDs?

I may be even more pessimistic about Lugo than I am about Wright.

In large part, that’s because managers are trying to maximize the number of saves for their closer, as opposed to the number of wins for their team. They’re managing to a stat and playing worse baseball as a result. This has been my beef for years now. If I'm ever a GM in position to hire a manager, one of the things I'll look for is a guy with the guts to challenge this orthodoxy.
