    Intervening drafts shouldn't count. Side note: is the Tim Bogar trade chain now the longest-ever in history?
  2. Gwreck
    Lineup apparently has Pillar in Right and Nimmo in Center. That seems...odd.
  3. Gwreck
    They can't even wait until the 10th for this awful rule? This is an abomination.
  4. Gwreck
    Accurate.
  5. Gwreck
    Wait a second. What possible reason is there to have a 7 inning game? This is idiotic.

    Who is this person - what is his affiliation with MLB? OE: Never mind - he writes for the Atlantic. But I haven't seen this anywhere else. Later The Athletic, not the Atlantic. The sports journalism website. And his link was pretty clearly the breaking news of MLB's statement. I doubt anyone else had seen it before the tweet. But it's also now up on the MLB website, if you are so inclined: https://www.mlb.com/news/2021-all-star-game-draft-relocatedhttps://www.mlb.com/news/2021-all-star-game-draft-relocated

    I'll admit to not expecting MLB to do this.

    No. But I think it's fairly obvious that having a DH on the NL teams means an additional roster spot for which teams may pay a premium salary. A NL DH is of course still an abomination. But it does not pervert the game the same way that expanded playoffs do. The players should never agree to a system that discourages spending by owners by making it easier to make the playoffs.

    It's always up for negotiation. But this is pretty final for 2021. When the basic agreement expires after the 2021 season, then it's up for negotiation again.

    Players union wisely says no.

It's not an excuse, but consider that Porter was also hired by another MLB organization after leaving the Cubs (his employer at the time of the conduct) but before the Mets. If we assume Porter was not honest when asked a “skeletons in the closet” question, and we know the person who was harassed was trying to keep it quiet to protect her career (as evidenced by the ESPN article), I'm not sure this could be described as “known secret.” It's embarrassing but I don't think the Mets are unique in occasionally hiring someone with previously hidden bad conduct.

    It's a holiday weekend and the prudent thing to do is at least talk to the lawyers first. Doing something within 24 hours is fine. Anything less than termination is unacceptable to me as a fan of the franchise, given that Porter admitted to the coduct.

    Zero percent chance. Fire him and move on. No need for the distraction.

    I'll never accept the DH. They can (and may well) add it to the NL over my objection but will forever scar the game by doing so.

    Good trade.
  19. Gwreck
    Maybe now everyone will realize that trading for 36 year old players coming off PED suspensions is a bad idea. What's that, you say? Smart people already knew that before the trade occurred?
  20. Gwreck
    I know the Mets won that series anyway, AND Utley is no longer on the team, but...not gonna root for LA. Go Rays.

    This was a great read and I greatly enjoyed it. I was surprised to see Game 1 of the 2015 NLCS so low; I recall the Mets went into that game having never beaten the Cubs before that year, and perhaps even as the underdog. By contrast, Game 4 of the NLCS that year seems very high. Yeah, it was the pennant clincher but it wasn't close and coming in 3-0 it lacked the drama of most other games. The two World Series game 1 losses also seemed further away from the top than I would expect. Maybe that's just hindsight, or a personal predilection to rate extra inning games higher. I firmly believe that wins in those two games would mean the Mets would have 2 additional championships.
  22. Gwreck
    Great. Now spend lots of money to make the team good and otherwise not comment on anything. Thanks.

    Dumb fake crowd noise. Stupid expansion of playoffs. Abomination that is the DH. Moronic extra inning rule. MLB doing its best to make baseball awful. It makes games like these even worse.
  24. Gwreck
    Put it in the books!
