  1. They are staying together to train while other teams have disbanded/gone home. While there will be a few weeks/ games for the other teams to get in shape, I fear they will come roaring out of the gate when baseball resumes and jump to an early lead in their pennant race. The bastages. Later
  2. Maybe not pop culture, but Mets in a feel good story: https://www.yahoo.com/sports/pete-alonso-luis-rojas-surprise-lifelong-mets-fan-following-cancer-diagnosis-011931887.htmlhttps://www.yahoo.com/sports/pete-alonso-luis-rojas-surprise-lifelong-mets-fan-following-cancer-diagnosis-011931887.html Jeter wouldn't have done that. Later

  5. This just made Cespedes about $5 million - now he should be ready to be on the major league roster when the season starts. And it will give Conforto more time to heal, he won't feel anxious to rush back. See, there's a bright side to everyth.... who am I fooling? This sucks. Later
  6. And wives everywhere are preparing "honey-do" lists because the husbands can't say "not now, I'm watching a game". (as my wife just mentioned to me) Later
  7. Say it ain't so, [CROSSOUT]Joe [/CROSSOUT]Greg. Later
  8. 4th starter -(let's put that "put him in the bullpen" stuff to bed) 13-10 4.10 ERA, close to what the back of his baseball card says. Later
  9. If he has to start three or more major league games for the Mets this year, I will not be in a good mood. Later
  10. F**K HIM! In every single orifice of his body. https://www.nj.com/yankees/2020/03/yankees-brian-cashman-jokes-of-hatred-for-mets-while-talking-up-derek-jeter-don-mattingly.htmlhttps://www.nj.com/yankees/2020/03/yankees-brian-cashman-jokes-of-hatred-for-mets-while-talking-up-derek-jeter-don-mattingly.html And THEN get angry. Smirking bastages, both of them. A day without insulting Derek Jeter is like a day without sunshine. Later
  11. Same stuff, different year. OK average, high OBP, bats leadoff, plays center against righties. A very 2018-like .268/.410/.490 in 135 games. Later

  13. Conforto to NY for Altchek exam after tweaking his side making a catch in a game that didn't count. FLA MRI not enough, apparently. Heard that tonight (WFAN?). How does a major league player hurt himself making a catch when it doesn't involve diving for a ball or running into a wall? Has anyone heard if that is an old fashioned "Get a massage and hit the hot tub, you'll be fine" kind of tweak, or is it a Jed Lowrie "OH F**K NO!" kind of tweak? Later

  15. Heard tonight (WFAN?) that Conforto "tweaked his side" catching a fly ball, had an MRI and is headed for "additional tests". Has anyone heard if that is an old fashioned "Get a massage and hit the hot tub, you'll be fine" kind of tweak, or is it a Jed Lowrie kind of tweak? Later
  16. I thought the "What We Think About McNeil" thread was this one, so I'll say it here: I saw an SNY article that said he's interested in a batting title. So I think he'll do it, while turning on a pitch when the need arises, say- .347-17-68. Later
  17. I think Szapucki (who I adopted on the old format page and I guess I should re-adopt here) will be in the majors later this year or early next year. Later
  18. A valuable member of the bullpen, leading it in saves by the All -Star break, then ceding that responsibility in the second half of the season as Diaz finds his groove. Then becomes a lights-out eighth inning pitcher. Final numbers 78G 117 IP 1.16 WHIP 23 sv, 26 H Later
  19. MLB.com gives the top 30. Same names, slightly different order. Mauricio Alvarez Gimenez Baty Allan Vientos Szapucki Wolf Smith Peterson the rest are here: https://www.mlb.com/prospects/2020/mets/https://www.mlb.com/prospects/2020/mets/ Later
  20. His career slash line while playing for Houston was .282/.285/.396 While playing for Miami (in a ballpark with major league dimensions against NL East pitching) it was .178/.226/.223!!! I think closer to the Miami numbers, but I hope closer to the Houston numbers. JD Davis he ain't. Later
  21. Nice, but I still remember Boyer most as an MFY, so a double black mark on his record. And, before modern defensive metrics (like range factor) the only thing you really had was fielding pct. and I remember Boyer's career .965 was a mark against which I measured other third basemen. Later
  22. A walk year performance of .285-33-106. Later
  23. =Fman99 post_id=32825 time=1583410362 user_id=86] I enjoyed the chatter as well. The guys they miked up (Davis, McNeil, Alonso, Smith, Cano) all seemed to have fun with it and to be enjoying their spring. Nice change of pace.
  24. I saw an SNY article that said he's interested in a batting title. So I think he'll do it, while turning on a pitch when the need arises, say- .347-17-68. Later
