If Timo runs we're still batting today. That goof plus Hamptons poor showing in the Clemens game stand out.

I was disappointed that Hampton showed almost nothing in that game. I felt it was on him to show some intensity, instead he nibbled and walked guys and put the game out of reach. That's how I remembered it anyway

This seems like it would be the first consequential move of the offseason. The Mets sought to hire David Strearns from Milwaukee before but were denied permission. I didn't know Daniels was available. I think both guys are Mets fans.

Astros jerseys don't look awful but really weak given their legacy of uniform uniqueness. Is that our Rafael Montero? We need to get out guys to grow fresh dreads instead of releasing them

I have to say I knew nothing about the Guardians. I dug the font on their uni numbers

=G-Fafif post_id=111566 time=1666148560 user_id=55] Zack's a postseason winner.

I can't think on this without regretting letting Wheeler walk. He was healthy. I'm not certain that degrom can be deGrom and stay healthy. He probably signs with the Braves.

The fog is wildfire smoke. This game is in the 15th still scoreless. There was some hot Paul Sewald Action earlier, plus a lot of Jered Kelenic failures

Game over

Keep the faith you guys

Holy crap

Unfuckable

Tuesday Night Mets 🌙

I realized just this morning that both Baty and now Vientos are younger than MBTN, the Ultimate Mets Database and the Crane Pool Forum.

You gotta fight for your right to Marte

And yeah, talk about a guy totally who gets it, right? Also, the material is well handled And you know MLB also knows this, sort of, thanks to this collision of interests and work that I myself never had and still only have sometimes

I know that because he said "that's a stupid question" then proceeded to denigrate both the reporter and the question once there was pushback. nah asking a player "did you hear the boos?" is essentially saying "hey man, they think you sucked tonight, did you know that?" and then, after he responds sarcastically, which is still a valid response, you PRESS HIM FURTHER. like "no, fuck you, really tell me about how you sucked tonight" and then, after that, one of the other media members in the clubhouse insults and denigrates one of the female reporters there. and people wonder why players are hostile to the media. But Jim Salisbury got his sound byte and gets to be part of the story I guess, so good for him. I feel this is definitely the wrong take, but The Marshmallows Man says this better than would anyway. Though it's almost a completely separate point, i feel like it's not made enough and its this: that even if i agreed with what you said and you changed my mind, its still problematic. So as you may recall, is that this thing began, when Roger said Buck was hostile., and I disagreed, wth the notion that Buck was hostile. And I also said why it was not hostile, but something else instead. Then I said, so we were all sure-- me, Roger, anyone, right? -- that one way i also know whether Buck was hostile was that a similar situation came up, and that was what hostile at least to me. Hostile or not hostile. So that, if someone happens to disagree with me, it at some level, they should also honor, and address their disagreement, on the notion of hostility, maybe Castellano's hostility, or maybe its Bucks hostility. Maybe they are both hostile! Maybe neither demonstrate what you think is hostile, but that you have a different definition of hostile, as i did with Roger. But it's that-- hostility. What is hostile? What is not hostile? So sure enough it happens, and even the part quoted, begins "hostility is ...." And that argument essentially begins with and then proceeds to argue, for "So what's wrong with being sarcastic?"

He also gives such lie to all the stuff my friend relayed about his son and implied that size matters too much than it obviously does in Jetts case at least. I think that means what i "missed" and should have probably said is that size only matters when they "weed out" they guys who are "iffy" to begin with.

Buck seemed unusually defensive and hostile when asked why he didn't pinch-hit McNeil for Nido. Any time a manager gives reporters "That's a stupid amateur question, and you're dumb for asking it of me, one of the smartest professionals in the business ever" answers, I start thinking "Hmmm, maybe the reporter struck a nerve." That wasn't really my take on Bucks demeanor, he wasn't hostile and he only cast dispersions on the reporter in the sense that it was obvious he wasn't interested in addressing the question, and tried to frame as though it was among many decisions so to him it wasn't so extraordinary. I'd add here he also knew the reporter wasn't buying it. That too was obvious to us. Hostility and saying the reporter is stupid is what Nick Castellano did this weekend. I know that because he said "that's a stupid question" then proceeded to denigrate both the reporter and the question once there was pushback.

Plus that giant ass to which they were attached I must add. Really I do think of Bell when I think or fat Mets, but it also reminds me that he was like an inner circle Hall of Famer in the "Mets, but With Gigantic Asses" thread, only I can't find that one.
