In isolation I like the deal - I wasn't a fan of Richardson at all from anything i've read. Kay might be good, but all unproven minor leaguers MIGHT be good. I'll LOVE this trade if: -the Mets plan to start 2020 with a rotation of deGrom, Syndergaard, Stroman, Wheeler, & Matz and kick the reporter-threatening Vargas to the curb -the Mets plan to trade Wheeler, figuring that Stroman and the return for Wheeler are worth more than Wheeler and Kay/Richardson, you need to take into account the year of control here too. I'll be neutral overall if the plan is to trade Syndergaard and extend Wheeler I'll be trending negative if they trade both Syndegaard and Wheeler I'll be very down on this deal if they trade Syndergaard and let Wheeler walk as a FA

Austin Romine is pitching now and not well.

Tanaka allowed 7 runs in the first inning tonight, stayed in long enough to allow 4 more in the 4th and is now gone after 3 1/3 with 12 hits, 3 walks, 11 runs and responsible for a man on 2nd. SAVAGE! i like leaving him in there. you are 99.9% fucked anyway, so why burn another guy's arm?

the lettering is awful. that is not a reflection on 'chic filla' or whatever it is called, it just looks horrible and as edgy says its an ad creep into fair territory that i hate

Who is this guy wearing the Robinson Cano jersey tonight and where is the real Cano?

Question: when he said ‘I feel bad for you' what did he mean? Umpire has personal bad news? "I feel bad for how dumb you are"

Its almost as if the worst bullpen ever decided "no, we wont lose the game in the 9th, we are going to wait until you score so we can BLOW the game again"

=Centerfield post_id=16165 time=1563387628 user_id=65] We gave up a prospect to get Font.

=Centerfield post_id=16159 time=1563384977 user_id=65] So basically we sold our prospects.

Too many slow jogs around the bases. I think it's funny that they say they want to shorten games, when all the big suggestions (universal DH, outlawing or limiting the shift, pitchers can't be removed after one batter) will help offense, and helping offense prolongs games. The Yankees and Red Sox combined for 30 runs in one of their London games. Was that supposed to get people home in three hours? Have they considered giving pitchers a chance? "pitchers cant be removed" so quickly would shorten games, even if it led to a small increase in offense. which i uess is an ideal outcome from MLB's perspective.

Let's give it its full due: it was a 2-out, 9th inning, come-from-behind 3R HR off Aroldis Chapman which brought the Rays from 4-2 down to 5-4 up Rays just closed out the bottom half -- K of Luke Voit w/a runner on -- to secure the win.

Angels lead 13-0 bottom 8th. a combined no-hitter though 8 for Taylor Cole and Felix Pena after Cole pitched 2 innings and Pena has gone 6. they honored Tyler Skaggs tonight

=batmagadanleadoff post_id=15124 time=1562340439 user_id=68] Put me down for what the last three posters are talking about, which is what I was gonna write as soon as I read rogers' post. Oh my God! Call the FBI! BVW hung out with some fans in the stands. If BVW gets away with this, next thing you know, BVW might have his wife over for a lunch break. And if that happens, his kids might wanna come over to take in a game and some Shake Shack burgers. Then what? Woe is me.

This is the only conclusion I can come to from there being no Mets game on July 4th. They couldnt play the Yankees Wed-Thu instead of Tue-Wed? Absolutely terrible job by all involved.

Good luck!

From ESPN: The game took 4 hours, 42 minutes -- the third-longest nine-inning game in MLB history. The two games that took longer also were Yankees-Red Sox games, with the record being 4:45 on Aug. 18, 2006. why we sent htose two teams of wankers over there to make everyone think baseball takes forever i don't know.

Today. right around the 9th inning.

well, that came out of nowhere! whats the plan for blowing this lead?

'Pounders' just sounds like a guy who would get rocked. playing on the wrong side of the ball for sure.

Edgy MD wrote: Tim Healey just became my favorite bear reporter. I don't know if this was meant to read "beat reporter," but it works either way. Good work. While walking the dogs, it struck me that this may provide a perfectly reasonable pretext for management to let go of Callaway. "We respect Mickey and what he can bring to the game, but we can't have members of our staff mistreating members of the media like that. Those guys have a difficult enough job to do as it is. Our staff represents our organization to members of the press, and this reflects on everybody. The Cubs are the enemy, not the press pool. We've been down this road before, and if we don't set a standard throughout the organization, top to bottom, we're the ones responsible when something unacceptable happens." "We wish Mickey the best, but this is the choice we felt we had to make to be the organization we intend to be, and frankly, we felt lucky that we were able to get a great baseball mind like Tony Muser on such short notice." pinning his firing this would set a dangerous precedent. When Edgardo Alfonzo has the 2025 Mets sitting at 51-30 in first place at the halfway mark and insults a reporter is he toast? and frankly, Mickey shouldn't get fired. a few curse words deserve an apology not someone's job. Vargas threatening a fight is a much bigger issue imo.

Edgy MD wrote: That can for sure go in there. I've certainly argued it here in the past. Get what you can out of a guy who is effective. Conversely, don't be afraid to pull a guy who is ineffective (the lay-an-egg rule, expanded), even if it's his role to pitch that inning and that situation. yeah for sure, if a normally sharp guy is missing the strikezone badly i'd pull him as soon as i could get someone else warm, even after one batter.

My Number One rule would be: Anyone can have their stuff, or NOT have their stuff, on any given day. if a guy is "on" keep him out there for a second inning, even if if its the 9th, even if your "closer" is available. you never know if the next guy will be "on" that night too.
