    Not for nothing but Pete could potentially get Joe Girardi fired in this coming at-bat

    I'm all about amputation for Smith. He could be ready to go tomorrow

    Smith just broke a finger 😬

    =stevejrogers post_id=93927 time=1653867176 user_id=57] FWIW, the Twins announced in January intentions to retire Jim Kaat's #36 on July 16th, but that was in mid-lockout. Twins still have a home game that day, so I'd imagine it's still set for that day. The rest of Kaat's and Hodges's Hall class of 2022 mates whom are associated with MLB franchises, Tony Olivia, Minnie Minoso and David Ortiz had their numbers retired years ago, in fact Minoso's was done in 1983 and Oliva's in 1991.

    I think Eduardo is right about this Smith hbp. He's so lost up there near strikes are hitting him

ESPN carries the HR Derby so, to them, it's the most important (maybe the Only important) day of the whole season. I'll be honest here. It seemed to me as though the entire Mets organization was never more focused these past few years than the way they were focused on the stupid home run derby. I feel so good that it would appear to be a small priority this year, based on the attention they are finally paying to the regular season

    One more humiliating loss will potentially end the Philadelphia season--and give us our 1st real sweep (I think). Lot riding with Zack "His perception of his market value is greater than ours" Wheeler returns to the scene of his many victories and tragedies #LGM

    Great too that they did all that immediately following a crap inning.-- and while the Phil's had to stand in a heavy rain. It's already stopped raining here

    I went many years ago on a humid summer night. The power went out. Burnitz hit a home run, and there were numerous brawls in the stands... figured out later the fighters came from an afternoon Cubs game. Donuty park, dark corridors for bleh food.
  21. Johnny Lunchbucket
    Yeah his contract was too long and he made one regrettably big mistake he'll never be forgiven for but he wasn't a bad solution at a time when the Mets couldn't find any second basemen worth a shit. Anyway that was also like the 5th "Dos Manos" remark since this Luis Castillo's name came up. But he represents the kinda reliable arm we could probably get now, and use now, unless we're resigned to shittier guys on waiver deals or taking our chances with Szapucki again

You're pretty good at spending Steve Cohen's money, but to what end? Moustakas gives us a pretty even equivalent for Dom, same kind of offense, only he's no good if Alonso goes down for a stretch or if we get a sudden hole in the OF, plus he's 33 years years old as opposed to 26, and on the downslide end of his career. Also, we need another 3Bman like Custer needed more indians. Which of Cincinnati's star pitchers are you fantasizing they would toss in to get rid of Moustakas' contract? I suggested they look at Luis Castillo And I didn't make up the idea of spending Cohens money-- that suggestion came from an article by a national baseball writer that said Cohen would consider such deals as a means to obtain what they really want. You seem to think this about coveting Moustakas or hating Smith-' its not.

    I tried to make clear already that the plan wasn't to trade away Dom Smith but to acquire a starting pitcher. To the extent that the club has any mlb talent to spare Smith is the most tradeable at this moment. Also, saying for the third time, Smith would theoretically make sense in a deal with a club like Cincinnati that would take less in a deal were they to also offload a problematic contract, which they happen to have in Moustakas. So if the Mets to take him on, you'd create further redundancy for a lefthanded hitting bench guy -- which would require the club to make a decision on Smith anyway. Therefore a hypothetical deal with the Reds could make sense were Smith to be included. Third time I've said this
