  1. On Mets internet page (SNY, Metsmerized?) is saying Edgardo Alfonso would like to join the Mets coaching staff. Later
  2. Did you intend to start a new thread about 2 Guns and hit reply instead? This doesn't belong in the October Sky thread. And when you're done correcting that, you can answer Edgy's question. Later
  3. Manny For hitting coach? Maybe. (Steve Cohen has a positive comment.) Warning - lots of pop-ups https://fanrecap.com/new-york-mets/red-sox-legend-linked-to-mets-after-coaching-shakeup--5Drf8?utm_source=new-york-mets&utm_medium=SS&utm_campaign=mlb-mk&utm_content=1570980989853817&fbclid=IwY2xjawNOTZhleHRuA2FlbQIxMABicmlkETFIaGNSblM0TXFFSkhPVG54AR7a1Pv__4Vcq4ht7WnP9niyZykQ576qB6Zs1kSdLf-NaYDGVwWhUzMQeB9hHQ_aem_FyXJaSXpXPjaULpo8TiVbQ Bring my homie home!

  4. In corporate America, managers are told it would be easier to promote them if they have at least two people under them who are capable of moving up into their position. In baseball, having someone who can move up to replace you makes it easier to replace you when you are asked to leave. Later
  5. I think that since they're keeping Mendoza, they should bring in coaches who complement his laid back style, not copy it. They need a couple of gung-ho types just to reignite the spirit that it seemed to me they were missing this year. But that's just me. Later
  6. You got your wish. Later
  7. I find managers fall into three main categories: Good tacticians - They make the moves that work and are successful Good people persons - the kumbaya types who the players (say they) love Martinets - the "my way or the highway" types who have a doghouse that is always full. But sometimes, the public image of a manager who falls into each of those categories may be a misperception of how they really are. In any event, all three tyles have been successful and all three types have failed. And you can't predict which type is best for a given team. Then again, what do I know? Later
  8. Doc, I'll differ with you on that one. (I guess that's what this thread is for) 1. Jimmy Piersall - who was actually diagnosed with mental illness 2. Carl Everett - a wackaloon of the highest order, but I'm not sure he ever was formally diagnosed or treated. Later
  9. I'm into the next level - anticipation. I can't wait for the start of the Arizona Fall League season. There's one Mets player I'm very interested in following. Later
  10. You have to watch out for that cabbage. It makes us do strange and unpredictable things. LOL! Later
  11. Rocco Baldelli fired by the Twins. Later
  12. Alonso? Later
  13. My [CROSSOUT]crystal ball [/CROSSOUT]projection tool says Freddie F'n Freeman WILL reach 500 home runs, and the last 50 will all be against the Mets. Later
  14. Bad Lieutenant The Piano and ? Later
  15. Get out the chain saw and cut that trophy in half. Doc Tee predicted 84 wins and I had 82. Doc, do you want the left half or the right half? Later
  16. Gornicht helfen. Later
  17. Huh? Refresh my memory on that one. Later
  18. Starting pitchers: CIN: Brady Singer (14-11, 3.95 ERA) MIL: Freddy Peralta (17-6, 2.68 ERA) Later
  19. Every time I see Karoline Leavitt I think that in a prior life she was Nellie Oleson. Add Karoline to my list. Later
  20. Mendoza. He was given a Maserati, but there were times he looked like he was driving it in first gear or even fell asleep at the wheel. Later
  21. Not all, but it does take a blend of speed, quickness and arm that many shortstops have. Casey Stengel recognized those skills can be transferrable. The most famous example of someone who made the transition successfully was Mickey Mantle, and he was followed on the MFYs by Bobby Murcer and Tony Kubek. And The tigers moved Mickey Stanley from center to short for a World Series. It can be done. You just have to have the right person. Later
  22. Ding Ding Ding I wanted him before this season started, if for no other reason that if he were on the Mets, he wouldn't have to hit against them. Later
  23. That deserves an angry emoji. Later
  24. I’m out of the house and can’t watch, so I’ll depend on you. Later
  25. I think Ewing will be the centerfielder in the near future because of that blazing speed, with Benge moving to a corner spot. ( he has the power to play there). Later
