He wasn't so bad. iirc I was at his debut, which ended up an ugly loss but included some bad luck. He also drove in a run with a sac fly in that game, I remember that. Then he came back late and was mostly ok. I'm already on record as over-reaching on Lockett so I'll predict 10 games, 24 innings, 2 starts, 2 sacrifice flies, 4.44 ERA, 1 win

I dunno if anyone was listening to the first radio broadcast from ST this year but SHaMsky in a guest spot went on at length as to Tom's condition. Missing anything related to the Hall of Fame is a sure sign he wasn't Terrific as I don't know if there was anyone who took more of a special pride in belonging. Hats off to the Seav

that's great!

Named a AAA All-Star but on the eve of the start is busted for HGH. Instea of the requisite play-dumb defense, goes rougue and blows the whistle on Mike Barwis, revealing him to be a Typhoid Mary of modern undetectable substances and sending the entire organization aflame in controversy and suspicion. Serves a suspension, get released and makes a comeback with the Giants in 2020. Starts the 2022 All-Star Game but is victimized by a home run by Jarred Kelenic. Gets fuzzy from there.

Makes you forget everything you knew about Ty Wigginton. .245/.315/.415 12-40 Also starts 3 times, relives 8 times and pitches to a 3.45 ERA

I'm shocked and also not shocked at how ignorant people are. Good for Jessica Mendoza, I say.

Kyle (Kyle!) Dowdy (Dowdy!) Brings out the duty in my soul! If he keeps having a shit spring I say they say he's got a sore arm and that helps 'em get him through to the minors till they need him again. Which they will but it won;t be a big thing. He'll be something like Brian Stokes

Hilarious that it's been 20 years since disgruntled Met fans openly decried that Leiter & Franco were running the club. But you know I liked the turn of the century Mets, especially Leiter, and good to see the club recognize the guys beyond Piazza (Zeile, now Leiter, hopefully some time soon Reed and Yoshii and Dunston and Ventura and Jorge Fabergas)

Fans want the new shiny thing so bad. a few years ago they couldn't wait to replace Doodoo with Smith; today they're convinced the first couple hundred MLB appearances from Smith indicates he'll suck for the rest of his career and will be used so as to keep Alonso down. I'm already looking forward to developing whoever it is who'll be championed as Alonso's replacement when he turns out to suck

that's not Carlos Gomez, is it?

Honestly? He's probably done-r than David Wright. I think we may see him a bit this year but if its a good year not much and maybe he gets traded after the season, somehow. 4-25 .265/.320/.400 in 135 PAs

What shorts are cool?

Yeah, a real potential for a disaster of a trade. I don't exactly expect him to suck and think he'll probably be pretty good but this idea of a guy being some kind of otherworldly closer when his most similar by age is Netfali Feliz who'd pretty much accumulated all his career WAR by 24. One thing I'll say about Diaz? He has "the good face" That gets him 33 saves and a 2.57 ERA, 85 Ks in 60 innings Anthony DiComo (@anthonydicomo) • Instagram photos and videos WWW.INSTAGRAM.COM 502 likes, 4 comments - anthonydicomo on February 15, 2019: "New Mets closer Edwin Diaz getting some work in at Port St. Lucie.".

The other thing I realized was the warehouse you see over the left field fence on TV is something of an illusion as it's part of the structure itself, or I guess an existing building they incorporated into the construction. That building is where the ticket windows and team shop are and all part of the block the park occupies.

13 years, 330M, no optouts.

yeah prolly

17-8, 3.00, 250-50 in 200 IP

Never seen a game there but I've been living across the street from it for 3 days. Good amount of homeless guys around the park. Can get a tour but there's new sod on the field so you can't get on it. There is also construction work on three sides of it right now as they prep for the season. The Padres have had so many unis over the years their apparel shop is like a mall with the orange and brown, yellow and brown, blue and orange, sand, blue and white, blue and grey. It was loaded with fresh Machado stuff and guys were buying it. Of course they are said to be returning to brown next season. Brad Hand and Corey Spangenberg shirseys on the discount rack. Some cool stuff on the plaza outside including big paintings of Hoffman, Gwynn, Winfield and Randy Jones and a Padre Hall of Fame plaque collection- one plaque for every HOFer to ass thru including Piazza, thoughtful but kinda funny. More is better. I got a kick out of Randy Jones who was so 70s with his perm and his brown uni.

In that case he only wins 16 games

Walter Lockett changes his name to Rocket Launcher and wins like, 17 games. WRITE IT DOWN

ceeeeetzz

who the hell is straw?

Almost no shot. He'll need a lot of things to go wrong for the big club, AND do a lot of things right for himself, and as we know he's probably marginal at best going in. Good luck, Peej!

Alonso has made his first error. Lockett in trouble here in the 2nd despite nobody hitting a ball out of the infield. Bases loaded!!! much excite
