    get the triple happiness thread ready! Mets beat the Philthies 2-0 and meanwhile the RedSox are laying some hurt on Jordan Zimmerman.

    intentionally walking Juan Lagares with 2 outs to get to anyone not named "Bartolo Colon" seems like over-managing.

    Duda hits a bullet...for an out. that was a textbook example of why the shift is depressing runs.

    I had to go check my first guess and wow... Ichiro Suzuki is in his 15th major league season! but 2001 is too late and Japan doesnt count.

    that was fast. bullpen may become a concern, anyone want to reach out to Rafael Soriano's agents?

    Quadruple happiness!

TC will say he's protecting him from...what? The pressure? Bullshit. Every game counts. Time to take off the kid gloves T.C., and if you want Laggy to be the lead off guy, don't fuck with his head. Let him lead off. Granderson led all of baseball in OBP during Spring Training. That's not nothing. I'm sure Lagares will get his chances. "have him excel" would be a grossly exagerated version of what Lagares did as a hitter in 2014. His defense makes him a valuable contributor and his bat plays at that position, but a .321 OBP isnt "excelling" at leading off. Granderson wasn't much better, but the near 100 point difference in Granderson's BA & OBP tell me he is more likely to finish with the higher OBP this year as walk-drawing tends to be more consistent than hitting.

The next big "innovators" in baseball are going to be the first team to turn back the clock and realize they should be using their most effective relievers for multiple innings at a time in less total performances. this also saves roster spaces to make better use of platoon-hitters or guys who can hit but cant even fake the field to be pinch-hit only guys

    Duda infield single?? was it a shift?
  13. nymr83
    d'Arnaud! we'll take it! sloppy sloppy Nats wont win the predicted 95 games playing defense like this!
  14. nymr83
    they're calling it a throwing error but we'll take the baserunner and let Lagares' fantasy owners worry about the hit

    STRIKE THE FUCK OUT AND SIT THE FUCK DOWN! LETS GO METS!!

And then you realize "Oh, he's, like, kinda good at everything. And he's very good that way." I guess he's like d'Arnaud. Or even Wright. And he's been young for his league all the way through. Checking his profile now, he's been between four and seven years younger than the mean of his league all the way up. Playing with the big kids, just being average has been outstanding. SEVEN years younger? i guess that was AAA as a result of the league average being skewed by veterans who arent "prospects"? thats just damn impressive

    Some more quotes for any idiots who want to criticize the Mets on this... B.B. Abbott, Wheeler's agent, said he had no issue with the way the Mets handled the right-hander. The agent added that he had sought independent analysis of Wheeler's elbow issue, and Wheeler was treated consistently with doctors' recommendations. "Anything that happened last year, or any other time Zack has been a Met, has been with complete and full knowledge of the circumstances, and occurred after consultation with qualified orthopedic surgeons," Abbott said. http://espn.go.com/new-york/mlb/story/_/id/12501348/sandy-alderson-defends-new-york-mets-handling-zach-wheeler-elbow

    Maybe the Mets should have anounced to the entire leafue that they might be without their #2 starter from a year ago and they were now trading and negotiating from a weaker position. Oh, wait, that doesnt make sense does it? Maybe the doctors should have violated hippa to satiate the writers' curiosity and feed the conspiracy theorists... No, that doesnt work either. Maybe everyone did everything just fine and there is nothing to see here?

    So let's discuss this. What "laws" do you think Jeff should be able to breach or violate at will without being held accountable by MLB? Criminal laws? Civil laws and/or statutes? What if Jeff violates someone's constitutional right that isn't specifically protected by statute? Some other category of "laws"? All of them. The relevant authorities in the jurisdiction in question should deal with enforcing the law. MLB should punish only if/when there is a crimial conviction. Temporary suspensions when charges are pending may or not be appropriate depending on the seriousness of the charges (ie rape, murder). MLB certainly shouldn't be playing constitutional lawyer to determine what "rights" a former employee of the Mets might have and also dtermine whether they have been "violated", we have courts for that. And whaddya mean by "things that have nothing to do with the game on the field"? thats pretty self-explanatory to anyone who is not being willfully obtuse.
