    and for good measure, here is Rich Hill, cursing the fuck out of the shift for all to hear https://deadspin.com/rich-hill-on-the-shift-fuck-fuck-fuck-goddammit-1834965518https://deadspin.com/rich-hill-on-the-shift-fuck-fuck-fuck-goddammit-1834965518

    we don't need dumb ass rule changes to "combat the shift", just smarter players. here is Matt Carpenter, BUNTING for a double against a shift that was taken too far. https://deadspin.com/matt-carpenter-beats-a-marlins-shift-with-a-standup-bun-1835599167https://deadspin.com/matt-carpenter-beats-a-marlins-shift-with-a-standup-bun-1835599167 the article has video embedded, but i'll link to the article rather than just the video so you can also see how he scores from second on more defensive infield ineptitude. poor Marlins, you'd think they were trying to emulate the owner defensively.

It's hard to call the defense historically bad, because the strikeout rate is like 250% of the rate in 1908, to pick a year, but it's costing them games, certainly. Oh c'mon. Use your head, ferchrissakes. When the author says "historically", you know he means the seven years for which his data exists. there are so many worse things to complain about i agree, but a better phrase might have been "worst in recent memory" or something like that. "historically" to me definitely has the connotation of "in baseball history"

D.Smith/Lf* Cano/2b* Alonzo/1b Conforto/Rf* Frazier/3b Ramos/C Gomez/Cf P-- Rosario/Ss who has to declare their lineup first? if i was the opposing manager and saw that i'd throw my lefty specialist out in the first inning with instructions to pitch around Alonso. "starting pitcher" to start the second.

    =batmagadanleadoff post_id=11863 time=1559528025 user_id=68] It's a tough call. When the Mets are at full strength, such as it is, Rosario's probably the worst hitter in the lineup. Today, the Mets started two players, Davis and Altherr, who might be worse than Rosario. And by might, I mean probably. And I don't agree that Rosario should be batting lead off because of his potential and all that learning curve jazz. Not with his batting line. He could learn just the same batting sixth or seventh. The pitches come in just as fast and with the same spin whether he's batting 1st or 7th. He can move up when he actually realizes some of that potential.

    Great fucking up there. Sign Kimbrel or just end the season already.

    WHAT THE FUX DIAZ??

    the whole thing is so stupid, its hardly a "brawl." And elementary school recess fight sees more punches. i'd love to see an outfielder put his glove down use his glove as a pillow and take a nap in center field during one of these dumb things just to make the point

    I havent been to Citi yet this year, MVP chants for Alonso yet?

    Alomar?

    The sons of Fernando Tatis, Vlad Guerrero, and Craig Bighio as well as the grandson of Carl Yastremzki all made their major league debuts this year. In what year did the most decendants of former major leaguers mke their debuts? I dont know the answer, but can anyone top 4?
  22. nymr83
    GOGO!
  23. nymr83
    Best bunt ever!
