  1. OK, so we all seem to agree that the Mets are a high priced donut, what can they do to plug that hole in the middle (of the outfield), short term and long term? What is or will be available outside the organization? Later
  2. We saw why people like Alexa better than Siri. Later
  3. I associated his name with figure skater Dorothy Hamel, she of the famous Hamel Camel move. Unfortunately, Dom never made it over the hump. Later
  4. Pitchers are usually the best players on their Little League and school teams. When they're not pitching, they're playing shortstop. So it was not unusual to find some who could hit once they turned pro. In these days of carrying many pitchers and fewer position players on the active roster, I've wonder why we don't see more pitchers batting. (Of course, the crazy extra inning rule has reduced some of those opportunities.) Maclean was recently converted to a full time pitcher. I wonder if we'll see him come to bat any time soon. As for the question, I have no answer. Later
  5. Mostly good. I only had one delay problem. But that's probably because of our two tin cans and a string internet provider. Service always bogs down when the kids come home from school and they start downloading (or uploading) porn. Later
  6. And the reason the Mets drafted Landrith first was because, as Casey Stengel said, "If you don't have a catcher, you're going to have a lot of passed balls". Later
  7. For voting for MLB's Roberto Clemente Award. Francisco Linder is the Mets nominee, but all the bios and the ballot are here: https://www.mlb.com/community/roberto-clemente-award?affiliate_id=false Later
  8. I think the reason for Peterson's decline is just fatigue. He has already pitched more than 20 innings more than he did in any other major league season. Now if you want to blame the lab for not preparing starters to pitch more innings, then putting him in that group is valid. But I agree with the rest of your comments Later
  9. Taylor dancers , with a better lineup than the Mets. Later
  10. He'll be in the library looking for books in 616.8527 Later
  11. I'm an altruistic hedonist who will gladly exasperate you. Later
  12. According to SNY, Huasacar Brazobán has been recalled from Triple-A Syracuse and Justin Hagenman has been optioned. Later
  13. "Guys, if we win this game they'll fire me." Later
  14. Win one for the Gipper? Later
  15. Since you were talking about Leo, I think one of the "old time" managers would have given Alvarez the take sign on the first pitch, just to calm him down and force him to focus. Giving the take sign used to be common practice, but I'm not sure if it is done any more. Later
  16. Buckle your seat belts. This is going to be a bumpy ride. Later
  17. Also, what does it do to your actual Ace? In Sproat's next-to-last start in the minors, he came in after the "opener" and got his ass kicked (7ER). I'm not sure whether he, their Ace, prepared the same way he would have for an actual start and that's what impacted his performance. BTW - welcome Jadewi - good first post. Later
  18. That made me chuckle and think what two other managers of that era might have done. Earl Weaver would have waited for a three run homer and Gene Mauch would have done his usual unexpected and have the batter bunt for a base hit. Good analysis. Later
  19. In the predictions thread, I think someone predicted they would win 84 games*. They seem to be heading toward that kind of result. Later * = I predicted 82
  20. Many of those early Mets served in the Marine Corps Reserve. It was a way to keep them out of the Viet Nam era Army draft. RIP, Jim Semper Fi. Later
  21. And weather by the iconic weatherman Mr. G, who wasn't there last night because he was being honored for career achievements by a national weathercasting organization. Later
  22. San Fran is still the team that scares me. Later
  23. For us folks (like me) who don't get SNY on our cable provider, that is great news. Later
  24. I can still hear how announcers pronounced, or tried to pronounce, some of those names. One pronounced A-mal-uh-fa ta no - throwing in the extra syllable WOR sports announcer Stan Lomax said CAM-uh-lo (instead of Ca-meal-e-o) PAS-kul I'm guessing that Jim Kaat was the last on that list to retire as a player. Fun list. Thanks Later
  25. Sigh. RIP, Jim Later
