    Davis, though, is red hot now - and has been hitting the ball hard all season with no hard luck results, per today's article over at The Athletic https://theathletic.com/3370143/2022/06/17/mets-j-d-davis-results/https://theathletic.com/3370143/2022/06/17/mets-j-d-davis-results/ I'm not sure where on the roster you fit Vientos right now?

Hard to be scraping by like this while the Phils and Braves are destroying opponents every night, but here we are. We need some benchies. Is Lou Collier available? No, but his son might be in a month.

    Buck: "do you want Yellich"? Diaz: "sit down Buck! SIT DOWN Yellich!"

    Bassitt with a real statement game here after the decent but not great roadtrip - the Mets are still #1! no need to worry about pitching!

    Johnny Lunchbucket wrote: I don't give a shit about how bad batmags is about to make this logic look Can I get a shot at ya first? How does this not justify the neighborhood play? How is this not merely a hidebound opposition to technology? I agree 100% with Batmags that if you came off the base and were tagged you are out. we don't need ambiguity in that rule. The use of technology (ie replay) is another story. If technology can help us make the right call then I favor technology - robot strike zone would be excellent because it would improve the accuracy of calls without wasting time. Replay wastes time. the question of how to balance that wasted time with increased accuracy is the difficult part of the equation, to me. I think the way to do it is that each team gets one challenge and can keep challenging until they get one wrong, and the homeplate umpire needs to ENFORCE a ten second rule for the manager to challenge at which point they lose their right to do so.

    Willets Point wrote: The check swing is one of those things about baseball - as discussed in another thread - that only makes sense because it's existed forever. Well, even without the "check swing" you would need some sort of rule to govern what constitutes a swinging strike. if the batter lifts his hands slightly but doesnt swing is that it? what if the bat moves a little forward? i think it should need to cross the plane of the back of homeplate and that is it, forget "check" swinging.

    and that'll do it folks. we pitched to the 2 guys you shouldn't pitch to tonight.

    =batmagadanleadoff post_id=95666 time=1655000698 user_id=68] What's good about watching this game, I was just thinking, is getting to see Mike Trout live and in real time. Outside of Mets games, if I saw more than 10 Trout at bats in real time in my whole life, it'd be a fucking miracle. And the announcers are noting the same thing as I write this.

LAD wins 11-9 Runner on 1st, the 0-2 pitch to Turner was a wild pitch moving the runner to 2nd. It was then that LaRussa decided to have his pitch face Muncy, a guy who hit 36 homeruns last year, instead of trying to get out a player who was already in a 1-2 hole. LaRussa described it as 'not even close' of a decision. Which makes me wonder about whether he needs his head examined. While walking Turner had the runner been on 2nd and the count 0-0 seems at least defensible, walking anyone in a 2 strike hole seems pretty fucking dumb. you can just throw 3 in the dirt or neck high or at the hands and hope he offers at one!

I suppose he was the ultimate AAAA hitter. that is a good one! Petagine would achieve the AAAA players' dream and dominate the Japanese league (is that AAAAA?) for a few seasons.

    I would think Mangum is the callup.

    The Athletic had a post firing interview up with him. He comes off as old school and hostile to analytics - unlike Buck who is old school but seems to have embraced the new Mets philosophy that you need to blend it all together in todays game. These philosophical differences may have led to the firing with the losing streak as the easy excuse
