I don't understand the prevailing philosophy — with the Mets or more broadly. A bunch of strikeouts interrupted on occasion by homers (too many of which come solo) is not only not a reliable offense, but it makes for boring baseball. The shift must be defeated. The shift must be defeated and the ball must be put in play. And as long as somebody takes that seriously, I don't care if the batting coach is Doug Flynn. Too bad Wee Willie "hit 'em where they ain't" Keeler isn't still around. Later

    I'm not sure how my almost-life-long Mets fandom could survive one disgusting closeup of Dusty Baker (in a Mets uniform) spitting sunflower seeds. And that image is like a camera magnet. It always fixes on him at his drooling worst. Later

Or is it the fault of the hitting coach when he can't help the hitters find their way out of the slump? But more specifically, when a guy has been fired twice as a hitting coach, who was the bright light who thought that three times might be a charm and hired him? http://metsdaddy.com/2019/05/mets-biggest-problem-is-chili-davis-not-mickey-callaway/http://metsdaddy.com/2019/05/mets-biggest-problem-is-chili-davis-not-mickey-callaway/ Later

    Every pitcher they've faced lately has looked like Pablo Lopez, a true baseball immortal. Later

    I've seen graffiti on a subway car that deserves to stay around longer than Wilmer Font. Later

    Cano refused to talk to the media tonight? Really. When he did, he blamed the scoreboard: https://www.yahoo.com/sports/robinson-cano-mets-double-play-marlins-park-052659420.htmlhttps://www.yahoo.com/sports/robinson-cano-mets-double-play-marlins-park-052659420.html Later

    If every manager reacted like this to Angel Hernandez every time Hernandez tries to impose himself on a ballgame (as in every time he makes a call) maybe MLB would be forced to deal with him. Later

    With three names and one hyphen, Simeon Woods-Richardson could have been an actor on the Cosby Show. Without the hyphen, he could have been a serial killer (bowing in the direction of a long-ago thread). Later

    Todd Frazier's Mets career still has a pulse. Later

    Sounds like a Dan Quisenberry pitch-alike. I'll take that. He'll be up in September (or as soon as Seth Lugo's arm falls off) and have a 1.14 WHIP in 16 games. Later

    Only one? Teacher's Pet is a comedy and Pajama Game is a musical. And I loved them both. Later

    Hopefully, he'll be pitching for some independent league team by the end of the year. Realistically, he will be starting for the Mets, every fifth day (unless the weather permits Mickey to mercifully skip his turn), averaging 4.1 innings, giving up 3 or 4 earned runs, and wearing out the bullpen.

    I look at Jeff and think "Wade Boggs". Later

    I would have voted for Matlack, but I voted El Sid. I'm trying to keep the memory of the old style Baseball Digest format alive. And I think it looks like Seaver and Strawberry are the favorites here, no matter whether the pose is ordinary and oft seen. So I'll be the contrarian here. Later

    Until he gets his s**t together, I just hope they don't call it as often. Later

Well, I was speaking of this notion of fans in other parks. I thought that was clear. As for the home park, a novelty guy with a .125 average gets old real fast. Syracuse is 11th of 14 teams in International League attendance, so I'm guessing central New York is unsurprisingly showing themselves to be not as crazy for the Florida Gators as Daytona Beach. So, if attendance is the goal, quality baseball may be a better draw. Edgy, you mis-edited the quotes. It was Seawolf who said that, in response to what I wrote. Later
