  1. As we move on to game 2, Scott was announced and he'd better be Great. Later
  2. T'aint that easy. I'd rather try to catch a knuckleball. Later
  3. Sweet! I was on the phone with a customer in Georgia, but I couldn't rub it in. I saw the video of Benge's double. It went off the wall in the corner. Only one run scored? What was the third base coach doing,. Checking the outfield for squirrels? Later
  4. Now that Chipper (Ptui!) has retired and FFF is no longer there, Olson is quickly rising to the top of the list of Braves I really dislike. Later
  5. Monday, Monday, so good to me Monday mornin', it was all I hoped it would be Oh Monday mornin', Monday mornin' couldn't guarantee That Monday evenin' you would still be here with me Monday, Monday, can't trust that day Monday, Monday, sometimes it just turns out that way Oh Monday mornin' you gave me no warnin' of what was to be Oh Monday, Monday, how could you leave and not take me Later
  6. While Luis Torrens has pitched several games for the Mets, I don't think he earned a win. But I think they mentioned when he came in to pitch for the Mets that he got one prior to joining the Mets. Does that count? The wording of the question was kind of nonspecific. Later
  7. Ya got me. There must have been a lot of Italian American catchers on the Mets since Yogi. Chiti and Chris Cannizzaro not named Piazza. But LoDuca was the only backup who came to mind. They don't haze rookies anymore? What is this world coming to? (I'm getting old) Later
  8. #10 - Paul LoDuca? Later
  9. He was my dark horse pick for this year. He's finally getting the recognition he deserves. He's been a rock, the Swiss Army Knife of the staff. You'd have to wrench him from my cold dead fingers. Later
  10. good decision Does the Tuesday night crew reconvene for rainout makeups? Later
  11. What year was that posted? He reached his (mediocre) high point around 2023 and his production has been dropping like a rock ever since. My Canadian friend had him in on his strat team, and cringes at the mention of his name to this day. Please, NO! Despite what the book title says, he CAN'T come home again. Later
  12. Plawecki was picked in the first round of the draft.(sigh) Later
  13. In an ideal(istic) world, I'd trade neither, then wear my walking papers as a badge of honor while I submit to interviews by all New York news outlets , telling them what I was told to do. But since I like to do exotic things, such as eat and pay my mortgage, I'd trade Benge. I think Ewing has the upside of positional flexibility ( he plays Inf and OF) and has a higher upside.. But they'd better be two really f'n good prospects. Later
  14. Do you think you could get the Tigers to use the squirrels with the school name on a fan give-away night? (maybe first 5,000 fans) They could pick up the cost. Worth a try. Later
  15. Backup catcher is one of the positions for which there is a ready- made replacement in Syracuse. Chris Morel is a 27 year old journeyman catcher who has accumulated enough time in the majors to have hit about 75 homers (with a .220 average). Sounds like he could replace Torrens pretty easily. (except for maybe the beloved part) Later
  16. One of the signs on the outfield wall is an ad for the university that is the employer of one of our members - marshmallow milkshake. Later
  17. Also- during the HOF weekend, neponouncer joe buck was awarded the ford frick (whether someone else should have won it is fodder for another post) award. but in his acceptance speech, he said, “im the luckiest person on the face of the earth”. It was intentional plagiarism, and he took it from one of the most beloved players in history. That would be like if the pedo- pres said, “ I have a dream”. i dislike him even more. later
  18. Is Taylor playing to get traded or playing to stay? Either way, he’s been en fuego. later
  19. His ceiling looks like a prime comforto (25-75-.285) but it could go higher- he’s still learning what he can do. later
  20. If they can’t drive lindor in from third base, he’ll just do it himself. later
  21. I saw some rumors a few minutes ago saying Alvarez and or Torrens may be on the block (of course unsubstantiated with no mention of return). Later
  22. Sadly true. Even future Spanish speaking fans, who are familiar with multiple last names, won't know which last name he played under. Later
  23. A chance to pitch against this Mets team could bring players out of retirement. Later
  24. What a coincidence! I keep that book by my bed for quick reference. You never know when a question will come up about Idahoan ballplayers. Later
  25. I saw ion the box score that one Phillie had a stolen base. Was it late in the game to rub it in or earlier in the game? later
