    Blackburn started tonight for Syracuse, so he won't be brought up for at least a few more days. Later

    Rockumentary about a band that doesn't exist? How about This is Spinal Tap. Later

    I always liked the stories he told and the intricacy of the music he used to tell them. But I never really concerned myself with the back stories of any of the musical artists I liked. So I wouldn't be interested in this movie. Later

    He's still hitting. He finished the FCL season with a line of .284/ .400/.369/.769 in 49 games. Later

    Umpiress

    MFS62 replied to Edgy MD's topic in New York Mets Talk

    And if you saw him work, you'd quickly realize that Angel Hernandez wasn't an umpire, either. Later

    The Mets have had eight games in the last fifty in which the starting pitcher has pitched six or more innings. And David Peterson was all eight. Later

    1960 I was at one of those two All Star games, and I wasn't hallucinating. 6-0 NL. Vern Law was the winning pitcher, Whitey Ford the loser. All the legitimate All-Stars were in it. Here's the box score: https://www.baseball-almanac.com/asgbox/07131960.shtml It was real. And many of the players were multi-timers, It was as real to me as it was to any other 17 year old in the stands. It was a thrill to see them all, including some we never got to see too much (before interleague play and nationally televised games on cable). It was a way to provide that opportunity to those who might not otherwise have one. It might not be as exciting these days. Later

    Maybe the pitchers are doing poorly the third time through the order because the cause effect premise they are using is wrong. The pitchers aren't being prepared to do it in the minors (re: Edgy's post about Tong in another thread). They are on pitch/ innings counts in the minors, so their arms don't have the stamina built up to pitch beyond that. This argument is like the old joke about the scientist who cuts the legs off a frog, yells "jump" and the frog doesn't move. So the scientist concludes that when you cut the legs off a frog it goes deaf. It isn't the pitchers. It is the player development system that doesn't prepare him to do it, the organizational system that doesn't allow him to try and the managers who are reticent to test their theory. It becomes a self-fulfilling prophesy. Later

    Brandon was named International League pitcher of the month for July. His numbers: 🔸 5 starts 🔸 27 IP 🔸 0.67 ERA 🔸 0.81 WHIP 🔸 33 K 🔸 14 H Later

    Gavin Williams threw 126 pitched and looked pretty darn effective that third time through the order. (Disclaimer - he was doing it against the Mets) Later
  11. MFS62
    He was the winning pitcher (2-0) today. He pitched one hitless inning and struck out the side. Looks like the injury that had him on the IL has healed (knocking wood). Welcome back, kid. Later
  12. MFS62
    Can you imagine what would have happened if a manager had yanked Bob Gibson or Randy Johnson after six innings? They would be changing the manager (for medical reasons), not the pitcher. Some of those pitchers should grow a pair and tell the manager, "Let me show you I can". Later
  13. MFS62
    Great talent. Hurt far too often. He seems to spend 35-40% of each season on the IL. Giancarlo Stanton-ish? Later
  14. MFS62
    Buena Suerte, Rico. Later
  15. MFS62
    Jonah had another good outing today(no decision): 5.0IP 3H 0R 0ER 2BB 8K his ERA dropped to 1.58 Later
  16. MFS62
    He's back at Binghamton after his rehab from the IL. Later
  17. MFS62
    Whatever they pick it should end in an s, not a singular name like the Syracuse Salt. More traditional. Later
  18. MFS62
    It may be by number of innings pitched, They didn't elaborate. Later
  19. MFS62
    I heard that Jacob DeGrom is the fastest pitcher to 1,800 Ks in MLB history. Later
  20. MFS62
    I just looked up what Syracuse is known for, and the best name for a baseball team I can think of is the Salt Miners. https://heyexplorer.com/what-is-syracuse-known-and-famous-for/ Later

    The Mets have called up P Dom Hammel and sent down Austin Warren. Hammel has been a starting pitcher, but in recent outings he has started, but only pitched a few innings. It looks like they are grooming him to work out of the bullpen. Welcome, Dom. Later
  22. MFS62
    Unless your masochism tolerance is very high, that sounds like the right choice. Later
  23. MFS62
    According to Joel Sherman of the New York Post, the Mets are designating relief pitcher Rico Garcia for assignment. No corresponding move has been announced. Later
  24. MFS62
    I hope you get to see the game. You certainly earned it. Later
  25. MFS62
    Just read that Carson has had at least one hit in every game since July 10. Later
