  1. When Big Pussy got on the boat he was a pal. When he got off, he was just chum. Later
  2. Starter in Syracuse 7-9 3.71, maybe brought up in September for a few middle inning appearances, 0-1, 4.98. And we happily add his wife to the Mets Wives thread. Later
  3. Benjamin Grimm wrote: He'll probably be in charge of shutting down access to the Shea Bridge. Fuck it! Whether we're still giving them or not, that deserves a BOC! Later
  4. Enjoys touring the Thousand Islands on his days off at Syracuse. It will be his chance to get into Cooperstown, as a paying customer. Nothing Major league Metly this year. Later
  5. UGH! No, not you, Kase, the announcement. Later

  7. =G-Fafif post_id=58120 time=1616103240 user_id=55] Ed Armbrister, Big Red Machine cog, 72.
  8. Edgy MD wrote: Thank you. Another sad side effect of toilet posting. LOL! TMI. Glad to help. I really appreciate the work you put in on the rosters. Later
  9. You might want to move today's updated roster here from the Carlos Carrasco thread. Later
  10. He'll start the season on the IL: https://sports.yahoo.com/mets-carrasco-strains-hamstring-likely-190202024.htmlhttps://sports.yahoo.com/mets-carrasco-strains-hamstring-likely-190202024.html New Mets pitcher Carlos Carrasco strained his right hamstring during conditioning after throwing batting practice Thursday and seems certain to miss the start of the season. He'll return in May, and go 12-8 3.68. Later
  11. I'm getting up on my soapbox for my annual spring training rant. I know the games and stats don't count. yadda yadda yadda. But that is in the standings. As Yogi Berra said, "Half of this game is 90% mental" and I don't like their losing to NL clubs in spring (especially NL East teams). I want those teams at all levels be so scared when they play the Mets that they feel all efforts are futile. It should start in the minors and continue when their young players face the Mets in Spring training. Let it be in the back of their minds every time, a stifling feeling of hopelessness in anticipation of a humiliating loss. If the Mets manager du jour wants to experiment with lineups, let him do it against AL clubs. I know nothing I say can or will change anything, but I wanted to get it off my chest for 2021. I'll climb down off my soapbox now. Later
  12. Returns to all-star form. Wins the Rolaids Award as fireman of the year. 1.46ERA, 68G, 47 Saves 13.8 K/IP Later
  13. Starts the year at AAA because when they look at the contract he signed, nobody can believe anyone is named Yennsy and think he has forged someone else's name. Stays there long enough to pitch well (10-5 3.58) and have his passport validated. So he's brought up to the Mets in September and goes 1-3 4.40 in six games, two as a starter. Later
  14. He'll be Good-enesque. 18-6, 2.18 ERA, 1.06 WHIP. 11.2/9 K/IP Later
  15. Dom Smith puts the Mets up 3-1 with a 3 run homer. Later
  16. YABBUTTT, they're "working on stuff". Later
  17. Up and down to Syracuse during an up and down year. When with the Mets: 22 G, 4.69 ERA in 31 "Whose arm feels rested?" innings, including some good outings and some not so good. Later
  18. The second best JD currently in the majors (behind JD Martinez). Starts 120 games, mostly at third base, appears in 150. Regains some of his 2019 magic: .267 - 20 - 78 Defensively? Drives in more than he lets in, which is what keeps him in the lineup. Later
  19. Never heard of that four foul playground rule. Is that a Long Island thing? The six foul walk rule is a bad idea because, I think, batters would be able to exploit that rule easily. I agree. The "bunt foul on the third strike and you're out" rule was put in because batters were fouling off pitches to stay at bat. So why should they get a base for doing something similar and the pitcher be penalized for throwing strikes? Later
  20. "How blank was he?" "He was so blank, any time he was asked to draw something, he drew a _______." ___ reminder to look at baseballreference.com. Nic actually struck out 20 times in 100 plate appearances during his short stay at Binghamton. Later
  21. Starts in low A and confirms his projections as a plus defender and contact hitter. Surprises with some occasional power and is promoted to high A by year's end. Stars in a commercial for SPF-50 sun block Later
  22. Every team has to schedule at least one single admission doubleheader per month. (Not that day - night stuff) During non-school months, kids under 12 (when accompanied by an adult) are admitted for 50 cents to general admission seats. No exception because of opponent. Later
  23. I hope Manfred is reading this. I don't think any baseball fan who watched that at bat thought about how it was slowing down the game. The excitement built with every pitch. Those battles are part of what makes the game wonderful. Don't fuck with it. Later
  24. Snider (German) = tailor. Later
  25. Regresses a little in BA but maintains his power stroke. .285, 28, 86 Later
