Too bad your formula didn't apply to Ike Davis' ankle injury in 2011. He would have only missed about four games.

    Okay, so what's up with this guy? A second horrid start in a row makes last year seem much less like an anomaly. Is he again going to stay below the Mendoza line until deep into the summer? Is he becoming a player whose hot streaks, while wonderful, don't compensate for his long periods of hibernation? I had had high hopes that he'd be a long-time All-Star first baseman for the Mets, but that hope has seriously faded. Will he snap out of it? Will Ike be the Mets starting first baseman on their next contending team? Or will they have to move on from him?

    If the Mets were figuring that d'Arnaud wouldn't (or might not) be ready in April, then they'd need a big league catcher. Who in their organization would have fit that bill? I think that's the main reason why Buck was included.

    I looked to see who's been starting for Las Vegas. McHugh has a 0.50 ERA in 18 innings and 3 starts. He'd be the guy to call up. Wheeler is at 3.86 ERA, 3 starts, 14 innings. Others are Chris Schwinden (3 starts, 8.10 ERA, 13.1 innings); Carlos Torres (2 starts, 5.19 ERA, 8.2 innings); and Darin Gorski (2 starts, 9.00 ERA, 7 innings).

Just waiting for that date (when is it?) that Wheeler can be brought up without losing eligibility. If he comes up after the first 20 days of the season have elapsed, his free agency eligibility will be delayed from after the 2018 season to after the 2019 season. To delay arbitration eligibility will take longer (maybe June), and there's no definitive date because it's influenced by what other teams do. I say they should certainly wait for the 20 days to go by (especially since we're just about there) but should not wait until June, unless, of course, Wheeler is struggling at Las Vegas.

    Looks like he'll play fewer than 100 games this year, possibly a lot fewer.

    Pitcher hits batter? Batter hit by pitch?

    Associated Press wrote: Colorado�s game with the New York Mets is in a delay despite the efforts by Rockies owner Dick Monfort and general manager Dan O�Dowd to help shovel the field to squeeze in a doubleheader on Tuesday. No new start time has been announced yet. The game was scheduled for 1:10 p.m. (MDT), with the nightcap set for 6:40 p.m. Monfort and O�Dowd joined the grounds crew members and assisted in removing most of the eight inches of snow from the outfield. Workers still have to clear snow that�s piled high in front of the Rockies� dugout and down the right-field line. The temperature at first pitch for the afternoon game will be around 38 degrees, making this one of the top-10 coldest games at Coors Field. The record is 28 degrees on April 12, 1997, against Montreal.

    I wonder how they plow a baseball field without tearing up the sod? Currently, three and a half hours before game time, it's 30 degrees and cloudy in Denver. National Weather Service wrote: Today A chance of snow showers and freezing drizzle before noon, then a slight chance of rain and snow showers. Cloudy, with a high near 40. East southeast wind 6 to 11 mph, with gusts as high as 17 mph. Chance of precipitation is 40%. Total daytime snow accumulation of less than a half inch possible. Tonight A chance of rain and snow before 9pm, then snow likely. Cloudy, with a low around 26. North northeast wind 7 to 13 mph, with gusts as high as 18 mph. Chance of precipitation is 60%. New snow accumulation of less than a half inch possible.

    Maybe we can get him for Neil Allen and Rick Ownbey.

    Well, it looks like it goes back at least as far as 1973. I did a little Googling but couldn't find anything that indicates when the award was established. Was there ever a "Pitcher of the Week" award? That does sound vaguely familiar.
