Every LDS Deserves Its Own Thread: Astros-Twins
G-Fafif replied to G-Fafif's topic in Archived Game Threads
Correa has passed Jeter on some all-encompassing postseason RBI list, which speaks well for the diluted playoff format. -
Yuck is up 1-0 on Yeech. I think I'm pro-Yuck in this series. Developing a real appreciation for Harper as long as it's not against us.
-
The ex-Correas are up 1-0 on the current Correas entering tonight's action.

In some cases, the editor likely thought pronouns Davey used weren't clear. If Davey said "he," the editor (or writer) figured explicitly making it "Gooden" would clarify who he was talking about, but since you can't put words in a subject's mouth, you use the brackets to indicate "this is who Davey is talking about." The other use presumes the reader might not know who Nelson Doubleday and Fred Wilpon are, since they weren't previously introduced into the story, thus [owners], in this case. Good observation about use of brackets -- it's one of those things about which the usage is implied, but the reader isn't given footnotes on why they're used. Also, [Davey] probably did some [cursing].

Someday maybe the Mets will be investigated for being awesome, and hopefully not for Astro reasons.
-
BB-Ref updates on a daily basis. I would expect to see the result posted there tomorrow and then feel total twelve under .500 finality from this season.

MLB presents a box score that no longer contains the top of the 9th nor ambiguity, and the standings there and on ESPN have our record at 75-87. Mets apparently won, 1-0, after a delay of approximately 132 hours.

Huzzah to Carlos Correa's Minnesota Twins for finally winning one of these games! In the other series, the Rays drew 19,704 to the 4-0 blanking the Rangers handed them, perhaps indicating prescience on the part of Rays area throughout the Bay Area.

Wheeler with a win, Sewald with a save — heckuva start to these 2023 NL playoffs for those 2019 Mets!
-
The Original Mets roster is included in the heavily researched A Year in Mudville by Dave Bagdade, who notes Christopher was one of the final cuts of Spring Training. Joe began the year in Syracuse.

Benjamin Grimm wrote: Link please? It's not official until it's in the UMDB, so for the moment, Joe Christopher remains the seventh oldest living Met. Reported by his daughter Michelle on Facebook. He was living in Bel Air, Md.

Almost Original Met Joe Christopher has died today at age 87. The baseball pride of the U.S. Virgin Islands hit an even .300 for the Mets in 1964, his best year of the four he spent in orange and blue.

Angels won't be bringing back Phil Nevin as manager, making it four clubs (Mets, Giants, Guardians) on the lookout for skippers.

Jim Caple, longtime writer for ESPN.com, especially the highly literate Page 2 section, 61. He may have been the first online writer for a name outlet I exchanged emails with, shocking me that a writer of his stature would directly (and engagingly) respond to a reader. https://www.espn.com/espn/story/_/id/38550277/jim-caple-former-espn-national-mlb-writer-dies-61https://www.espn.com/espn/story/_/id/38550277/jim-caple-former-espn-national-mlb-writer-dies-61

Stearns showed his bona fides as a Millennial Mets fan by saying he grew up listening to Gary Cohen, Bob Murphy — in that order as opposed to how we older fans would reflexively list them — and Ed Coleman, who almost never gets mentioned in that context, but he worked a lot of play-by-play as Murph was scaling back. He also appeared more relaxed than the other three executives (Porter, Scott, Eppler) introduced since Steve Cohen came along — and not nearly as smarmy as Brodie Van Handsome. Whether any of this adds 0.1 WAR to the portfolio is another matter altogether.
-
That additional Mets win/Marlins loss has been deleted from the At Bat standings.
-
Having sat in on a few of Buck's pregame pressers, I couldn't imagine him being anything other than Mets manager for life. Having watched too many Mets late innings evaporate, I could easily imagine him not coming back next year.
-
R.A. Dickey unfailingly credited Wakefield, Phil Niekro and Charlie Hough as his knuckleball support system as he was learning the pitch that would redefine his career and change his life.
-
MLB quietly shifted it into the win column for the Mets in its At Bat app standings in the last couple of hours, though on a different part of the app, it's still a suspended game and the box score doesn't reflect any decision. The lack of resolution is driving me At Batty.
-
Giants fire Gabe Kepler, presumably for his idiotic challenge at the end of the game of July 1 that kept me at Citi Field just long enough to make sure I'd miss my train at Woodside. Also for the Giants falling short of the playoffs, I guess.

I got home nearly eighteen hours ago, and it's still a https://www.faithandfearinflushing.com/2023/09/29/amazin-delays-2023/crazy night to have been at the ballpark (albeit in hermetically sealed environs), considering that the game isn't over.
