    Here's the vote of confidence...

    Well, if any one player is going to turn things around, Juan Soto is the type of guy who can do it. But what we really need is for Soto to come back strong and for Lindor and Bichette to start producing and for a few other players to step up as well.
  3. Benjamin Grimm
    This really looks bad.

    I just turned on the game, and when I saw the Cubs' uniform I thought the Mets were playing the Montreal Expos.

    I asked Alexa who was pitching for the Mets today, and she told me it was Bartolo Colon. Somehow, I doubt that's true.

    I'm pretty confident that Lindor and Bichette are going to hit. And that Soto will too. I'm much less confident about Semien, Polanco, and Robert. That's too many question marks. Stearns looked very smart when he rebuilt the roster on the fly during the 2024 season. I think that's the last time he's looked particularly smart.

    A year ago I would have been saying John Gibbons. I suppose Beltran has a shot. I have no idea who would be a good choice.
  8. Benjamin Grimm
    I don't think anyone here expected that this trade would turn out to be a good one.
  9. Benjamin Grimm
    I have no idea what's going on over there.
  10. Benjamin Grimm
    Or some baby food.

    I realized it was Jackie Robinson Day when I went to Baseball Reference this morning and all of the photos on the home page were of players who had played in the Negro Leagues.

    The first time I saw that photo used in a meme, the girl in the foreground represented Andres Gimenez and the girlfriend represented Amed Rosario. I guess that would have had to have been in 2020.

    I noticed that Mets hitters no longer seem to be swatting away armpit odor after they reach base on a hit. This makes me wonder if it was a thing promoted by one of the prominent recent departures. Nimmo? McNeil? Alonso? Which of them was a crusader against armpit odor?

    I agree. The Braves jersey should have peaches. The Pirates jersey should have steel. Or three rivers. The Reds jersey should have, um, uh, Les Nessman?
  15. Benjamin Grimm
    I agree that the Braves have the best one. The Pirates don't look like they've done much at all, nor have the Rangers. It's like they ran out of X's but had some leftover J's. The Padres look pretty good. The Royals' cap is stupid.

    Like FK said, wait until Soto comes back. Or a couple of more weeks, whichever comes first.
  24. Benjamin Grimm
    Oh, and this is Soto's calf. I'm told that her name is Penelope.

    I remember a time, I think it was in 1999 as the Mets were chasing the Wild Card, that Mike Piazza went on the DL. Fortunately, Todd Pratt did a good job filling in and the Mets did pretty well. Every game that the Mets won without Piazza meant that it was a game where they didn't miss Piazza. I'm getting that feeling again as they've won four straight without Soto. If Soto ends up missing fifteen games, there are now at least four of them where it didn't matter. (And hopefully that number will continue to grow!)
