    [CROSSOUT]One hit is better than none.[/CROSSOUT] Oh fuck, did I really say that? This is disheartening. Later

    Going into the boom of the 4th, they are being held hitless by Charlie f'n Morton. 1-0 bad guys. Later
  4. MFS62
    This is Charlie f'n Morton!! You've faced him a gazillion times. You know what he throws. Let's get some runs. By your command. Later

    I just saw that there will be a Little Leaguer Home Run Derby. I didn't bother to read beyond the headline. This reeks of the ESPN influence that FK mentioned. Later

    And when considering that "available math," the coach has to factor in other things - e.g.- was the ball right at the fielder, or is he moving to one side? Is the ball damp from a wet or humid field that could affect his grip? How good a jump did the runner get (is he off with the pitch?) Those may or may not be included in the calculations. Some teams play conservatively, not giving the other team a chance to get outs. Ohers play a more aggressive brand of baseball - forcing the other team into errors. It boils down to gut feel - did the coach think the runner can make it? And it is a snap judgement he gets paid to make. (I just re-read that, and it makes me sound like a patronizing asshole) Later

    Good (not the best) arm against a very fast runner. Speed kills. Once the fielder sees the guy is going to third, It can force hesitation, improving the runner's chances. It can force a hasty, and maybe inaccurate, throw. And maybe the runner is flat out fast enough to beat a good throw. And maybe not. But you have to try. Is the coach going to get fired if the runner is thrown out? What have they got to lose? Send him. Later

    =dgwphotography post_id=135731 time=1692810963 user_id=78] It just seems like, as Mets fans, we're not allowed to have nice things.

    When I hear 66 I think of Route 66(the old TV show). In case anyone is interested, the (square) root of 66 is 8.1240. Back to the ballgame. Later

    2-0 Braves, bottom of the second. They're still batting. Later

    As soon as he hears "Play Ball" Buck should get someone up in the bullpen. I have no cahnfidence in Megill. They're gonna' have to win ugly. Later
  12. MFS62
    It feels good going into the second game of a series with one win under your belt, since Megill is scheduled to start the second game. He doesn't give me the warm and fuzzies. Later

    WAR is a calculation of Wins Above Replacement, but I'm liking what I see out of the "replacements". Later

    Facing off against that Winans guy Baseball reference says he was originally signed by the Mets, then acquired by Atlanta in a "conditional deal". I had read elsewhere that it was a Rule V deal. I guess that means the same thing, since Rule V deals are conditional - you can offer them back to the original team if you don't like what you got. But Rule V deals have been around for years. I had never noticed how BR.com words them. Later

    If you know anyone going away to college, let them know they can get free MLB tv for the rest of the year. https://www.mlb.com/news/mlb-tv-free-for-college-students-for-rest-of-2023-seasonhttps://www.mlb.com/news/mlb-tv-free-for-college-students-for-rest-of-2023-season Later

    Prior to the game, the Mets selected LHP Adam Kolarek from Triple-A Syracuse and recalled RHP Vinny Nittoli. To make room, the team optioned LHP Joey Lucchesi back to Syracuse. The Mets also designated RHP Dennis Santana for assignment. I hat these new option rules. Later

    =kcmets post_id=135410 time=1692472553 user_id=53] I'd tune in, but I have YES Network blocked by parental control on my boxes.

    =kcmets post_id=135398 time=1692462470 user_id=53] Shit happens. All the time. No idea why his sincerity is in question here.

    Do you think he feels bad? I couldn't tell from what he said. Later

    If you're going to miss those FOX announcers from last night, raise your hand. (time passes .....) Uh, never mind. Later

    Game time 8:15 PM. The other games in the series were earlier because of TV scheduling. Later

    I was a juror on a murder case (two defendants) in the Bronx many years ago. One of the witnesses was a 14 year old who had lived with, and had a child by, the defendant and had lived with, and had a child by, another witness. The judge told not us to judge the circumstances of the witness, just consider the testimony she gave. A crime is a crime. I don't remember the names of the defendants or the lawyers. But I still remember he girl's name. Later
