I am sad to say that there is no known footage of me (CCNY) pitching against Larry Bearnarth (St. Johns) when we faced each other in a non-league exhibition (pre-season) game in college. Uh, he won and hit a home run off me that I think is still going. Later

What's Your Memory?: The Ballpark in Arlington
MFS62 replied to Edgy MD's topic in New York Mets Talk
My only memory is driving past it, going from DFW airport to Dallas and thinking "it looks nice". Later -

Mike Schmidt. Later

It was very obvious that the kitchen staff treated him well. But we'd love to see him come back for his fond farewell to baseball. Later

Interesting. But if the two NY teams hadn't moved west, we probably wouldn't have our Mets today. Later

Jesus Christ, what an asshole that Snell is. Guys like that should be forced to work in a supermarket for minimum wage in this pandemic next to others like him, who won't get tested unless they can't breathe. And we already knew this guy's a dick: https://www.yahoo.com/sports/bryce-harper-backs-blake-snells-stance-on-not-accepting-pay-cuts-somebodys-gotta-say-it-033514803.htmlhttps://www.yahoo.com/sports/bryce-harper-backs-blake-snells-stance-on-not-accepting-pay-cuts-somebodys-gotta-say-it-033514803.html Later

I hope we're not seeing the total eclipse of the Art. Hang in there. Later

The first game back could get as emotional as the post-9/11 Piazza game, for some fans. Later

they talked logistics though, that's the important part. I haven't seen (though I haven't really hunted for it either) if there have been any leaks into specifics. It does seem testing everyone is part of the 'plan'. There IS a safety plan: https://www.yahoo.com/news/report-mlb-outlines-player-safety-160030365.htmlhttps://www.yahoo.com/news/report-mlb-outlines-player-safety-160030365.html Later

i'd fall over laughing after he ineptly, gracelessly lobbed it fifty feet, many of them in the wrong direction. the giggling would not end for days. weeks, even. That's probably one of the main reasons why he has never thrown out the "first pitch". Later

Benjamin Grimm wrote: If I was the catcher who was designated to receive a first pitch from this president, I'd step aside as the threw it and just let the ball roll to a stop, untouched. And I'd walk away without even looking at it. I'd put on a medical mask and gloves and then pick it up. And make sure the cameras were watching. And then I'd place it in a medical disposal bag and drop it in the garbage. Later

Fangraphs' take. https://blogs.fangraphs.com/after-years-of-profits-mlb-owners-ask-players-to-subsidize-potential-losses/https://blogs.fangraphs.com/after-years-of-profits-mlb-owners-ask-players-to-subsidize-potential-losses/ Basically what I said, the owners are trying to screw the players. Later

Frayed Knot wrote: In the initial agreement, the one the owners & players agreed to when they suspended the season back in ST, both sides agreed to the pro-rated salary part but there was also separate language which indicated that further discussion on reduced salary if reduced revenue still might need to happen depending on conditions of any restart. Granted, but I still feel the owners will cook the books to drive that revenue figure as low as believable, but not accurate. Later
-
Benjamin Grimm wrote: Latest news is that the thirty owners have approved the plan outlined above. Tomorrow begins the effort to get the players to accept the proposal. It includes owners splitting revenues 50-50 with the players. The cynical (or is is the logical?) person in me says the players would get screwed. The owners will hide the revenue (like the Wilpons keep SNY revenue off the Mets books) and plead poverty. TV revenues are already in the bank. A fairer way would be to pay them a percentage of their salaries pro-rated on the number of games the final schedule represents. Later

When it was announced that the NL would be using the DH, one of my friends emailed me to see if I was ok, that's how much he knew I hated that rule. Later

I knew it couldn't be something about Aaron Judge. Later

The Mets minors link brings up that Marlins 1990s article. A repetitive redundancy. Later

My only memory of "Angel Staduim" is of the old Wrigley Field in Los Angeles (the first home of the Angels) where Home Run Derby was filmed. The new place? Nada. Later

Among the American KBO-gnoscenti, the LG Twins appear to be the consensus most Metly: second-place in their own town/stadium to the reigning champion/current league power Doosan Bears in Seoul; last championship in 1994, but oh-so-close a few times; mostly disappointing... but with a rabid fanbase that travels well. I didn't even know that when I "chose" them. I always seem to root for the oh-so-close teams. Later
