IGT 7/25/2020: ATL @ NYM — Let’s Do This Again
nymr83 replied to G-Fafif's topic in Archived Game Threads
Duvall's homerun hit a cardboard cutout of a dog - internet says it was McNeil's dog! -

Sorry, Cespedes isn't that old guy in your Sunday church league who gets pinch-run for by a 5th grader WHEN HE BLASTS ONE OVER THE WALL!!

=ashie62 post_id=41249 time=1595503523 user_id=90] Buffalo may start to look better real quick to these guys. I doubt the younger guys would mind a AAA locker room
-
Since we are jumping on it, I'll take Buster Posey as the missing 1B #8
-
If a player was already guessed correctly at one position, would he still be an option at another position or would you have revealed him at both positions?
-
Those 2 firstbasemen are killing me. MOCKING me! who spent ten years with the same team and i cant even remember their name?? or less than 10 years but was SO GOOD they qualified anyway??
-
#7 3B - Matt Carpenter?
-
#5 1B - Ryan Zimmerman
-
I'm going to guess DH #6 is Carlos Beltran as i can't think of anyone else who could even potentially fit the bill. i'm shocked he DH'd enough games to qualify. did the MFY's DH him so a lesser defender could play his position Jeter-style like they did to Arod?
-
Has it been mentioned anywhere what the 'threshold' at a position is? is this guy listed as a Met at another position? DH 6) ____________________: Mets, __________, __________, __________, Rangers, __________

#2 2B - Ben Zobrist

The stadium in Buffalo has substandard lighting and Dunedin is in the COVID-friendly state of Florida. I'd say the Blue Jays should opt for 4pm games in Buffalo. 1 pm better...

Edgardo Alfonzo peaked at the turn of a decade with a tail behind him in the nineties and another tail ahead of him in the aughts. George Foster, on the other hand, timed his peak perfectly, mid-decade, and he's probably the best leftfielder of the 1970s despite being almost nobody's idea of a Hall of Famer. Alfonzo timed his peak to what is approximately the 10 years i cared most about baseball, putting him pretty high on the list of how good he was in my mind.

#1 leftfielder - Brett Gardner? is fWar measuring "sustained averageness?" it feels like it.

Once upon a time, you lost THREE POINTS!! If Alex Trebek was a Brooklynite instead of a Canadian, this would be Jeopardy.

3B #11 - Manny Machado?
-
#5 1B Edwin Encarnacion?

Arod today reminded us what a huge hypocrit he is, calling for revenue sharing/salary cap. Is he the highest paid player ever? But now he wants to be an owner so let's cap em!

You just purchased the New York Mets!

BVW has handled the preparation for this season flawlessly. While other teams are having difficulty with their testing and protocols the Mets appear to be able to play without disruption and with a minimum of distraction. He has manipulated the draft to acquire two #1 picks in consecutive years (if it was easy every team would do it). On the field, he acquired Porcello and Wacha which were even more important moves with Noah's injury. He signed Betances for below value and made smaller moves that I think will benefit the team (e.g. Marisnick, Adams, Fargas). The Kelenick/Cano trade can't be undone but Cano has been a professional and a quiet leader. I answered "C" because Cohen didn't make his money by not observing his personnel but I would give BVW a lengthy grace period, especially with the work he has done this year. yeah all of this - its C. coming in and making whole sale changes Day 1 to a team on the verge of contender isn't smart. This is not the Marlins. I would stop and observe. -
Benjamin Grimm wrote: That averages to almost exactly one per team, but I read somewhere that the 31 players are spread among 19 teams, which means that 11 of the teams have zero positive cases. So far. Apparently, for HIPAA reasons, the new COVID-19 inactive list is going to be kept secret from the public. Are we going to see players just suddenly stop appearing in games with no explanation? I think if that happens, people will be able to put two and two together. Of course, putting two and two together doesnt violate HIPAA. member of the public, or sportwriters, speculating doesn't either. Which leads to a question: Can the national broadcasters or broadcasters who are NOT employed by the team or SNY which is really owned by the team speculate on air? next question, does anyone even care? the Jets basically said "Sam Darnold has Mono" - maybe that was cleared with him?
