2018 Tabloid Cover Derby Round 6.01 FINAL ROUND
MFS62 replied to Benjamin Grimm's topic in New York Mets Talk
Tick tock. When will the polls close? There is breathless anticipation among the citizenry. And the networks have to schedule their programming. Later -
Edgy MD wrote: That 65.5 number is with defense factored in, which I thought was pretty clear. You're double-taxing him. Thanks for pointing that out. I still don't think he belongs. But, me being me, I'd still want to see what would happen if they invite a pitch and putt champion to play in the Masters. Later

NYMR83, LOL! You might not be too far from wrong, just like the have different exhibit rooms in the Museum of Natural History. MFY Bleacher Creatures already have their own room. Its called the holding pen at Rikers. Later

=batmagadanleadoff post_id=1621 time=1548253380 user_id=68] [Tbe DH has been around for almost half a century and EM is probably the greatest DH in baseball history.

Edgy MD wrote: And how bad must he have been that he wasn't asked to wear a glove more? That's speculative. It was his manager's job to deploy him. It was his job to perform. And he did. Even after https://www.fangraphs.com/statss.aspx?playerid=1086&position=3B/DH#valuedocking him for not playing defense year after year, Fangraphs still credited him with 65.5 fWAR. His career DWAR was -9.0. And that is for the (roughly) 27% of his potential innings played. That projects to -33.33 for a career, or a net WAR (65.5 - 33.33) of 32.17 if he had played in the field for his entire career. Later

And he played 2055 games and had 8674 plate appearances. I translate that into about 8.5 innings per game.(more or less) 2055 X 8.5 = 17, 467 innings "played". So, his 4605 + 224 = 4,829, or he played defense in 27.64% of his innings. And how bad must he have been that he wasn't asked to wear a glove more? Maybe not a H-O-R-S-E, but maybe a Shetland pony. Sounds like a neigh vote to me.(or was that a whinny?) Later
-
Would you elect the best H-O-R-S-E player to the basketball Hall of Fame? Would you invite the Pitch and Putt (par 3) champion to the Masters? Of course not, because they have not demonstrated their ability to perform other key elements of their sports. And for that reason I believe a DH should not be in the Baseball Hall of Fame with the other players. Maybe in a separate wing. Later

I adopted him before he was on anybody's top 10 lists. Still love him and wish him well. We'll keep a spot of the table for you any time you want to return, kid. Later

We still love 'ya. kid. Later

I spoke with him (from the stands) during a game once. Seemed like a nice guy. RIP Later

Cute. Later

As much as I disliked him as an MFY pitcher, I liked him as a Met coach. RIP. Later

It makes me happy that Derek Jeter did not have that distinction. In case you have forgotten, A day without a Derek Jeter insult is still like a day without sunshine. Thank you, Edgy, for brightening my day. Later

Conforto signed, too. Later

This is how I feel about David Wright's retirement being a 2018 story. If anything, it will belong in 2019. (Sorry, I haven't gotten that imbedding thing down) https://video.search.yahoo.com/search/video?fr=yfp-t-s&p=wrath+of+khan+i+will+strike+at+thee+youtube#id=1&vid=44a93359fee5c162664d56c1fea10dd4&action=clickhttps://video.search.yahoo.com/search/video?fr=yfp-t-s&p=wrath+of+khan+i+will+strike+at+thee+youtube#id=1&vid=44a93359fee5c162664d56c1fea10dd4&action=click Later

Mets Suck And I'm Glad They Traded Me
MFS62 replied to Johnny Lunchbucket's topic in New York Mets Talk
I remember when the player was called Mark Boom Boom Bomback. Later -
Lady Gaga didn't win the best actress Golden Globe. I guess the voters thought her performance was too sha-sha-shallow. Later

Until Wright finally says the words "I'm retiring" this will be a never-ending story and should not be the reason to remember this year in Stockholm. The headlines may be exactly the same each year until this contract expires and David has squeezed every last dollar out of it. Later He said 'em. https://www.yahoo.com/sports/mets-great-david-wright-join-front-office-release-roster-230601251.htmlhttps://www.yahoo.com/sports/mets-great-david-wright-join-front-office-release-roster-230601251.html So, his "retiring" covers aren't really the story for 2018, are they?

Bodie is a secret Russian agent, trying to destroy our happiness. The guys he got better become all-stars, because the guys he gave up have a chance to be. (especially my kid Santana) Later

Brodie traded my kid Santana? May he fucking rot! Later

Hey everybody, the Mets just traded for Keon Broxton
MFS62 replied to A Boy Named Seo's topic in New York Mets Talk
When I read about him (righty hitting centerfielder with occasional power) and looked at his numbers, I broke out my A-to-A grading scale. I think he'll be somewhere between Shawn Abner and Tommie Agee. Now we just have to wait and see where in that spectrum he performs. Later -

MFS62 replied to A Boy Named Seo's topic in New York Mets Talk
Every generation of Mets fans needs someone with speed and power, waiting to put it all together. This fixation on potential is called the Shawn Abner Syndrome. (I looked it up) Later
