    Eduardo Nuñez has made his retirement official. His last MLB action was as a 2020 Met. He played in Asia in 2021, not at all in 2022. https://www.mlbtraderumors.com/2022/10/eduardo-nunez-announces-retirement.htmlhttps://www.mlbtraderumors.com/2022/10/eduardo-nunez-announces-retirement.html

    Tomás Nido has been named a finalist for the Gold Glove at catcher, alongside Travis d'Arnaud and J.T. Realmuto.

    One can find both parts interesting.

    Houston vs MFYs. Yay?

    Zack's a postseason winner.

    A spate of familiar names are given the organizational heave-ho. The Mets' offseason restructuring has claimed a popular player from the franchise's last World Series-winning team. Tim Teufel, who spent the last two decades in various instructional roles for the Mets, won't be retained by the organization, according to industry sources, as part of general manager Billy Eppler's shake-up of the minor league system. Teufel, 64, spent the last six seasons as the Mets' minor league infield coordinator. Others who won't be retained include senior director of pitching development Phil Regan; director of hitting development Hugh Quattlebaum; St. Lucie complex field coordinator Brian Schneider and St. Lucie complex outfield instructor Endy Chavez. https://nypost.com/2022/10/18/mets-move-on-from-tim-teufel-amid-minor-league-shakeup/https://nypost.com/2022/10/18/mets-move-on-from-tim-teufel-amid-minor-league-shakeup/

    September 12, 1980's ten pitchers totaled 738 career wins (not bad if not Spahn vs. Marichal) and 1,535 saves (which if it isn't a record oughta be). That whole weekend series is a hindsight delight, featuring as it does two Met wins in the games that followed and, on the Friday night in question, the very first Mookie vs. Buckner matchup.

    This box score… https://www.baseball-reference.com/boxes/NYN/NYN198009120.shtmlhttps://www.baseball-reference.com/boxes/NYN/NYN198009120.shtml …contains some serious pitching talent covering a lot of years spread out over 14 innings. Their peaks didn't converge at once, but from Tidrow emerging as a beast of a middle reliever for the MFYs in the mid-'70s to Smith and Reardon still slamming doors in the '90s, along with Cy Young winners Hernandez and Scott, top-tier AL closer Caudill eventual 20-game winner Krukow and good enough to be Keithbait Allen, it really casts a glow on a late-season bottom-feeder festival that drew only enough fans to justify turning on the Shea lights. And going three innings when rosters were expanded and the Cubs were finishing last: Bruce Sutter. Also, I adored Tom Hausman.

    The first reliever I can remember who was credited for “shortening games,” as in if you don't lead the Cubs by the seventh inning, Bruce Sutter's coming in with his split-finger fastball and pretty much ending your chances. Hall of Famer, gone at 69.

    No wonder they're big in King of Prussia.

    Denny Doyle. Clay Dalrymple. Ray Ripplemeyer. Marlon Byrd. Mike Ryan. Some names are extremely Phillie. The most Phillie of them have a “y” within them if not at their beginning or end.

    Masato Yoshii, once managed by Bobby Valentine, will manage a team once managed by Bobby Valentines. https://nordot.app/951045129052307456?c=44591838979519395https://nordot.app/951045129052307456?c=44591838979519395 And Kaz Matsui is the new manager of the Seibu Lions. https://www.nippon.com/en/news/kd953248991288770560/amp/https://www.nippon.com/en/news/kd953248991288770560/amp/

    Taijuan Walker replaced Rodriguez mid-series and also never saw action.
  15. G-Fafif
    First-timers all! Love the Joely win and the Joely '72.

    Here's to Darin Ruf, a dreadful designated hitter ostensibly for the pitcher, parlaying his one outing as a pitcher into an award that probably had Luis Guillorme written all over it in theory. Here's to Grimm ostensibly doing his least, yet delivering what long ago might have been described as "the most!" Nice job, Pete and Edwin, too. And good going, Chris, staying healthy in a year when Jake and Max missed significant time.

    Joely reportedly to the IL, to be replaced by Taijuan Walker.

    0-0 in the 14th, a postseason first.

    Marte bats 2nd. Ruf DHes. Nido catches.

    Please delete my would-be IGT. I missed the one already in progress.

    Ooh, that Snell vs our Simple Man. Tonight at 7:37 PM. Just the season on the line. That's all.
