SNY reporting Tony Tarasco has been hired as the first base coach. https://sports.yahoo.com/tony-tarasco-named-mets-first-211411343.htmlhttps://sports.yahoo.com/tony-tarasco-named-mets-first-211411343.html Later

Agree with the mixed bag/ mostly good comments. I found it interesting that Rebel Wilson was cast as a Nazi since I get the vibes that there are sometimes subtle and not-so-subtle Anti-Semitic tones in many of her performances and interviews. Are they her ideas? The scriptwriters? I'm not sure. Later

He was part of the answer to the trivia question I used to stump Bill Mazur. The question was: "Who are the only two pitchers in major league history to have led their league in all of the following: GS, CG, IP, H, ER, BB, K, ERA, W and L (not all in the same season)". Later

Anyone remember the "Cleveland Indians"?
MFS62 replied to Benjamin Grimm's topic in New York Mets Talk
I thought of this thread when I watched Major League the other night. Will we be able to enjoy the movie after they change the team name, even after it becomes an anachronism? Later -
They've drafted and developed some very good players over the past few years. I hope he keeps that going. I infer two things from that bio: 1) analytics - this reinforces Cohen's stress in that area, where the Mets have fallen behind recently. 2) Red Sox - he hates the MFYs Later

Domo arigato for that. SNY reported the same thing at 11:34 AM - They gave Sherman credit for the story. https://sports.yahoo.com/mets-good-chance-anyone-sign-163409569.htmlhttps://sports.yahoo.com/mets-good-chance-anyone-sign-163409569.html Don't know how much he will ask, but there's the release fee to his club to consider, too. I wonder if it will be comparable to what they would pay a second or third tier free agent. Later -

The guy who played shortstop on my college team, Ron Marino, also was on the lacrosse team. He and his lacrosse teammates formed a team that kicked butt on the intramural touch football league for three years. I played with him in baseball and against him in football. Later

=nymr83 post_id=52515 time=1608478351 user_id=54] I may be most shocked to learn that they play lacrosse in Panama or anywhere else really.

Edgy MD wrote: His baseball-reference profile appears to be overstating his British-ness, claiming he was both born in the UK and graduated high school there, while that Baseball News feature pegs him as Colorado-born and graduating from school in North Carolina. That sounds more like a CIA cover bio than a military one. Later

The world is falling apart, but the thread naming on CPF is as good as ever.

Sammy Drake tried out for the Kansas City Monarchs, but his brother Solly convinced him to play in Canada, where there was less racism. Not sure if he got into a game with KC. That was found on wiki https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sammy_Drakehttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sammy_Drake Later

It's official. The Negro Leagues of 1920-1948 are now recognized as major leagues. BBbbuuttt, what about Satchel Paige's numbers before 1920? (I'm not sure if I was kidding) As noted, those leagues played fewer scheduled games (not counting barnstorming) than the Majors, so the traditional "counting numbers" will make their totals look inferior. But the newer relative stats, like ERA+, OPS will tell their story. Compiling the numbers will be a daunting task, even if box scores can be found. I have a copy of Robert Peterson's Only The Ball Was White. He includes a list of all Negro League players, their teams and years played. But in some cases, only the last name is there. Linking stats with the proper player will be difficult. Later

With the Colorado Rockies open to trading superstar third baseman Nolan Arenado, the Mets are reportedly high on their list of teams too engage in discussions. "The team that I am watching very carefully -- that I was told even this week is the team the Rockies want to engage with -- is the New York Mets," Jon Morosi reported Wednesday morning on MLB Network. https://www.yahoo.com/sports/rockies-want-engage-mets-trade-145356415.htmlhttps://www.yahoo.com/sports/rockies-want-engage-mets-trade-145356415.html The idea of getting rid of Cano and replacing him with Arenado and putting McNeil at second is enticing. But the Mets would have to find a centerfielder to replace Nimmo who is included in the deal mentioned. Later

The Rangers are sending Rafael Montero to Seattle, not for coffee but to pitch. Yep. He was the Texas closer and did quite well, better than when he starred for the Mets. https://www.baseball-reference.com/players/m/montera01.shtmlhttps://www.baseball-reference.com/players/m/montera01.shtml Later

HMMM, 30 year old starter in the majors (Phillies) with an ERA+ of 102.(Although last years not as good as his first two- injuries?) He might have decent shot to make the big club. Later

And in two to three years, Alvarez and/or Regnault will be here and McCann can, as Yogi Berra once said about Bill Dickey, "Learn them his experience". Later
