  1. Fuck these stupid extra inning rules
  2. Diaz destroyed that inning. ALONSO CAHNA DAVIS
  3. Get him to 30 pitches this inning. He worked yesterday too
  4. Marte, left groin tightness. McCann side discomfort
  5. Just one of those games we will remember good or bad. A moment within a moment here
  6. Guillorme, Nido, Nimmo. We absolutely gots to get this done now, as Sandy Alacantra awaits and a rotten launch into that Braves series
  7. The Hot Corner wrote: Then Escobar promptly gets thrown out trying for his first steal of the year. Just hate those instant self-inflicted reversals of fortune. I don't wanna go there, but you knew we had that game-tying HR coming to us after that.
  8. Gelbs missed an opportunity to ask Ed Lynch what it feels like to see his number--36--up there for eternity.
  9. Right. The idea wasn't that stolen based were worthless necessarily but there was an economic value assessed to them that-- in that moment-- was out of line with their dollar value with respect to their contribution to winning.
  10. I'm not sure I like Piazza talking here The video, my God, that was something
  11. I just now wrote my own Keith Hernandez Tribute. https://www.mbtn.net/?p=3538https://www.mbtn.net/?p=3538
  12. I think, Moneyball's legacy is bifurcated. On the one hand it opened eyes that there was some value in applying a kind of economic analysis to the consideration of ballpayers, or sports overall and what made the book so effective and important, was that it captured a moment when that kind of thinking met with entrenched resistance, and Beane's own cognitive dissonance about his own career, and a kind of uneasy hybrid future was born. One the other hand, its notoriety made it way too easy for people who never fully appreciated all of the above, to think of "Moneyball" as a monolithic thing that meant nerds with slide-rulers were running baseball. Such a great book, (and a fun but flawed movie) and so complicated!
  13. My initial thought was -- that the "team photo" thing was somehow done before the Mets had secured Thomas, who, though closely resembling the fella front left, wasn't in the original? Then again, I don;t even think a Thomas-less Met team would have possible as he was "day 1 get" I think, but could have been left off? What I saw was that "retouched" the hat logos in the pic aren't "Mets" logos, only a guess that cartoonists before visual identity was known would make (why the Met logo had that off "NY" odd for decades) and one thing is the Thomas portrait has a correct Mets NY logo and the team pic doesn't (I get it, doing that in detail for 18 guys is a lot on deadline these guys had!)
  14. These Marlins... they suck!
  15. JDDAVIS TRADE VALUE±++++++++++++
