In 2019, [brenley] said that “it might be easier to run the bases if he didn't have that bike chain around his neck,” about Fernando Tatis Jr. Shyeeet, I've said that a ton of times about multiple players over the years. Not racist. More like something people who have the need to find racism everywhere or people grasping at straws to show a pattern of behaviour would point to. You don't need jewelry flying around. My high school coach made me take the watch (remember watches? They told time before cell phones) off on day one.

    You can overrun first base legally. It seems like the solution to the issue you seem to have here would be to allow the same at other bases. This is a less drastic change, I think, than any of the things Ceetar mentions which have already been changed, except the automatic ball 4 which while dumb has almost no effect on anything

    If you come off the base at all and get tagged, you are out. pretty simple. I don't buy the argument that for 150 years we couldn't have seen you were out so you shouldn't be now. The same argument can be made about the strike-zone. If we are going to allow review, then make the call whatever the review clearly showed. If you don't like the rule, which we are now better able to enforce than we were before, change the rule. Advocate for the rule that a runner is safe if he touches any base before he is tagged and makes no effort to advance to another base, if that is the rule you want. I'm fine with the current rules and fine with the corner-cases of NFL-like review of inches. If you are worried about frivolous challenges wasting time and just letting ALL close calls stand, I'd also be fine with putting the decision of whether or not to review in the hands of any umpire not named Angel Hernandez.

    officially postponed.

    This lineup is insane. Why aren't we using Smith at 1B, Lee in the outfield, and one of those catchers on the bench? If we aren't going to hit, can't we at least try fielding well?

    Are you suggesting we bribe his agent? Cohen's other businesses may have more experience in that type of thing...

It's not like McCann was 1a or even b. He was such a step down that you had to squint to even find a way to justify it as a signing, never mind for four years. And they lost out on Springer too. And Bauer. Money could've gotten those done.

    It's looking like Tuesday at Citi against the Rockies for deGrom's MLB return. https://www.cbssports.com/mlb/news/jacob-degrom-expected-to-rejoin-mets-rotation-ahead-of-tuesday-start-vs-rockies/https://www.cbssports.com/mlb/news/jacob-degrom-expected-to-rejoin-mets-rotation-ahead-of-tuesday-start-vs-rockies/ Nice to see they are easing him back into things, following a start in A-Ball with a start against a AA lineup.

    DeGrom?

    Tebow was a credible, but hardly good given his age, hitter at AA in 2018. His injury that year probably killed his last best chance at making a cameo in the big leagues. A poor 2019 performance at AAA and 2020 getting wiped by COVID might have taken that dead dream and buried it - was he really even getting regular AAA ABs this year?

    But Smith dont care what i think, he'll drive em in now instead of later
  17. nymr83
    I wouldnt use Smith here. I'd rather Almora then Smith versus Smith then Mazeika

    I'll buy the narrative that the Mets got off to a slow start thanks to Washington's Covid issues and also the rainouts and snowouts. But we should be past that now.
  24. nymr83
    walk the pitcher on 4 pitches???

    Rodon ends up with a no-hitter after hitting a batter in the foot with a pitch in the 9th inning
