  1. The old pitcher in me would want to strike every batter out, for fear they would hit the ball near, but not directly at, that defense. On any balls hit toward left center I would run to back up third. Later
  2. Alvarez has four passed balls in limited action behind the plate. I'd let him get some more rust out. I'm not sure if he's ready defensively to catch when brought up. Later
  3. Congrats for making the majors, kid. Too bad it wasn't with the Mets. Later
  4. I had forgotten that Miggy played shortstop. BR lists him at 5-9, 220 lbs, but he led the league with 159 games played there at age 35 (2009). Rodriguez should have hit many more as a shortstop but, you know, Jeter. It will give me great joy when Lindor passes Derek. Later
  5. Matt had a hiccup, and struggled through 49 pitches. His numbers: 1.2IP 2H 2R 2ER 3BB 3K his ERA is now 2.25 Later
  6. His fourth start was his best yet. The numbers: 6.0IP 4H 0R 1BB 1K lowering his ERA to 3.31 Later
  7. Seeing this in the baseball passings thread was a shocker when I scrolled down through the thread, until I saw the text above the picture. Later
  8. Brandon's third start was the best of the season so far: 4.1IP 2H 1R 1ER 2BB 6K dropping his AAA ERA to 5.23. Later
  9. Matt followed up his first start with another strong one for St. Lucie: 3.2IP, 2H, 0BB, 3K and his ERA is still 0.00 Later
  10. That may have been what it looked like when Michael Jordan tried to play baseball. Later
  11. You're right. It is bmfc1 who started the thread who is the culprit. You guys look alike. Later
  12. Then you might as well learn to spell his name correctly. It is Mangum. Later
  13. Matt Allan made his first appearance in a pro game in six years, a story that made national headlines. He was excellent, striking out five over 2 2/3 scoreless innings and throwing 28 of 44 pitches for strikes. Allan pitched in the minors in 2019 after the Mets selected him in the third round but suffered major setbacks after the 2020 minor league season was canceled due to COVID-19. He then underwent Tommy John surgery in 2021 and continued to suffer setback after setback until now. RHP Matt Allan, 2.2 IP, 2 H, 0 R, BB, 5 K Welcome to the family, kid. Stay well (knocking wood, Kanehara) Later
  14. If they were going to give us a territorial battle, I'd have preferred Sharks VS Jets, with real knives. Later
  15. Lindor and Soto have been quoted recently as saying they would like getting him and it would be a great move. I'm not sure if this is bordering on tampering (probably not since he isn't a free agent), but if they keep it up some people at the commissioner's office will start monitoring this closely. But that's not going to stop the reporters from asking. Later
  16. Bleacher creatures is too kind a description of them. Later
  17. Memo to Dom: The new bats won't help. Later
  18. In two games, he's gone 4-7 with a double and 2 RBI and 2 SB. He became just the second player since 1912 to achieve such a feat — four hits and two stolen bases in one of his first two games. The only other player to reach this landmark? Casey Stengel, Later
  19. New news: The Mets were unable to get Canario through waivers and have trade the outfielder to the Pirates for cash. Too bad. I think there will be a need for him later this season. Later
  20. As Yogi said, "Half of this game is 90% mental". The change makes them feel more confident. But from a Physics standpoint, FK is right - the more mass toward the end of the bat generates more power (assuming contact) if the sweet spot is out there. My science* starts to dim out when I try to figure if there will be more broken bats when the hitter gets jammed with the new shaped bats. Later * = calculating angular momentum
  21. I thought I read that Canario also cleared waivers and was re-signed to Syracuse. OOPS. See next post. Later
  22. The Mets just announced their AAA Syracuse roster. Despite pitching better than some of the veterans this spring, Trey did not make it. So it looks like he's going back to Binghamton. RATS! Later
  23. Those first two homers would have been outs in a real major league ballpark. Later
  24. They first diagnosed the cause of death as asphyxia. If so, some of the obvious signs must have been present. There are non-specific physical signs used to attribute death to asphyxia. These include visceral congestion via dilation of the venous blood vessels and blood stasis, petechiae, cyanosis and fluidity of the blood. (Petechiae are tiny hemorrhages). If they have ruled it out, then there must be something that made them think it was asphyxia. The resort management claims it wasn't food poisoning. So I'm guessing a heretofore undiagnosed familial food allergy, since others in the family felt ill, too. I'm not a forensic scientist. But I have stayed at a Holiday Inn Express and used to watch Quincy, M.E. and House. Later
  25. Stearns is responsible for the on field product. I highly doubt this is his doing. Cast your gaze instead towards Uncle Steve and his smoke machine blowing/fireworks spewing/dugout roof dancing/retired number-of-the-month promotional crew. Maybe you're right. But it still smells like braunschweiger to me. Later
