Also. Jeff McNeil. Career .813 OPS against lefties. Small sample size, but still. Too many regulars sat yesterday. And the guy has four hits the day before. This is something Mickey did last year that drove me nuts. He would rest a "hot" player and not let the player to go on a kind of streak that might carry a club for a while. I had hoped having an experienced manager as "bench" coach would help. But in this case, I wonder if he said anything. Later

JD can stand for Juris Doctor. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Juris_Doctorhttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Juris_Doctor So, Mets fans will be welcoming him by chanting "Here Comes the Judge". That other Judge in New York? Fuhgeddaboudit. LAter

TWiB Notes -- Opening Week (Mar 28-31)

I think I heard (its CT, tv, they give us a lot of Sawks news, but I don't pay much attention) that they set a record by each giving up three home runs in three consecutive games. I didn't care enough to check it out, though. Later -

Please tell me Joe Bandabingo doesn't actually believe that former ML'er Bill Pecota spends his time making up statistical projections for current major league players! I was listening to his show a few days ago, when they were discussing the upcoming season, and the guest mentioned the PECOTA projections. Joe said something like "That's not the old baseball player, is it?" The guest and his co-host (Evan Roberts, who knows the new stats), after recovering from the question, assured Joe it wasn't the same. But I don't recall whether or not they explained what PECOTA meant or if Joe understood them. Later

Melvin Mora. (sigh) I always liked Jason Hardtke because of the hardtkeness of spelling his name. And Bill (please tell Joe Beningo that I'm NOT the guy who makes those numerical projections) Pecota. Later

IGT 3/31/2019: NYM @ WAS -- Perfect Perhaps
MFS62 replied to G-Fafif's topic in Archived Game Threads
Anthony Rendon is the one Met pain-in-the-ass they are allowed to have. (I think its a corollary to Murphy's Law) This guy Turner puts them over the limit. Later -
The Boys from Syracuse: The Syracuse Mets in 2019
MFS62 replied to Edgy MD's topic in New York Mets Talk
I hope David Thompson stays healthy, so we can see that projected power emerge. And I just noticed how much Jacob Rhame looks like the bartender friend in the Deadpool movies. Later -
Starts at AA, sky is the limit. Lefty hitting catchers are a resource that is hard to find, and he will rise on the prospect lists if not in the organization this year. Later

Len Dykstra is even more of an asshole than we imagined.

Willets Point wrote: But Dom DiMaggio was an even better defensive player, or so I've heard. That may be true, but t was hard to judge because he played half of his games in Fenway Park. Less distance to run (and throw), but he had to play tricky angles of caroms off the CF wall. Don't forget that when Joe played CF in the original YS, it was 402' to left center, and center ranged from 457' to 461'. - lots of ground to cover. In those days "strong up the middle" meant defensively and there were many good field, little hit center fielders who played a long time - Curt Flood, Bobby Gene Smith and Bill Virdon come to mind. The ones like Willie, Mickey and the Duke who could hit were the exception rather than the rule. But of those, Joe had the most ground to cover and he did make it look easy. And that was at the end of his career. BTW, I was a Brooklyn Dodger fan, hardly a DiMaggio acolyte. Later

Some guys could and some couldn't. When I was a kid, the reporters would say that Mays made the easy plays look hard and DiMaggio made the hard plays look easy. There may have been some subtle racism in there that I was too young to understand, but when when I saw them play (yes, I saw DiMaggio at the end of his career), that seemed accurate. Later

I proposed, "We're the 2019 Mets, and we're going to kick your ass all over the street". It got voted down. Shame. Later

An opening day tradition. Thanks. Later

Reading is fundamental. Maybe his agent should have read the contract. Later

I have a feeling this guy is a boomerang. He'll be back. I don't know how or when, but like herpes, he'll be back. Later

There is only one athlete named Lockett to me, and that was Gerald "Helicopter" Locket. He was drafted by Cleveland of the NBA, never played there, but became a schoolyard legend. This guy? AAA all year. Later

Altogether. Exhale. Later
