Uribe to take Campbell's spots and Johnson to reduce Kirk's playing time. Later

Muno (Uribe does when he does, only better) and Mayberry. (lefty/ righty, I don't care. Clemenza, I don't want to see him around here again, capisce?) Later

IGT 7/24/15 LAD @ NYM: She's Having Zack's Baby

YUK Not only did he crap on this game, he also didn't exactly show himself off as a player another team might want in a trade. If fact, the only bad thing he didn't do is machine gun a litter of puppies on National Television. Later -
Not so fast. As per ESPN-NY radio around 9:45 PM, the trade had not yet been finalized. More pieces? Later

Fifteen million dollars won't help the Mets get financial flexibility to acquire a ballplayer? Even if that is more than what remains on the contract of a player who could become a free agent at the end of the year? Earth to Sandy. Fifteen million dollars is more than half a year's salary for (probably) every player in the majors. You can always tell a Marine. You just can't teach them too much. Later

Rats! I'll be out of town and won't be able to go. Enjoy them for me, DD and MF. Try to understand. Try to understand. They're a magic band. Later

Edgy MD wrote: I'm not sure how it would effect trading � make third basemen less of a target, I guess. But I think all along they have been looking for versatility rather than a third-base-only guy. Mets with Wright are a stronger team than Mets without Wright. But going forward? Nobody can be sure of the long term impact of his condition. When he does come back, he could be a mere shadow of his former self. Or not. But if he were to stay out the entire year, the Mets would get a pro-rated portion of his salary from their insurance carrier. It represents several million dollars the team could use to help them obtain a good player. So, let him rest and build his strength, so when he does return next year, he will be an asset. Its a win-win. Later

That was fun. And I remember Stan Z. Burns on 1010 WINS when he was their counterpart to Alan Freed and Murray the K. Thanks, Later

(I rarely listen to music when home) The stations range from Oldies (1960's) to contemporary. But I don't recall them identifying the Ramones as the artist on the song I just heard or was about to hear. (I'll let the age joke slide. ) Later

Tonight's starting lineup had four players (ok, one was a pitcher) batting under .200. I've seen better lineups on Law and Order. Later

If the Mets hadn't used him in a sub role a few nights ago, they could have post- dated Cuddyer's DL stint and called up Conforto almost two weeks ago. I guess what I'm saying is if the Mets had wanted to bring up Conforto, they could have done it by now. Later

This is more in line with the oft sneered-at BABiP (Batting Average on Balls in Play) which argues that on balls put into play that stay in the yard (IOW: take out all K's, BBs, and HRs) the success rate on those plays tends to be subject to a degree of good or bad fortune. The counter to that (which Gary Cohen brings up all the time) is that of course guys who hit the ball harder will have a better shot at a better BABiP so how can you say it's luck?. Factoring in 'Exit Velocity' sort of combines the two and says that if you're putting balls into play both often and hard and yet still have a poor BA to show for it then it really is closer to bad luck than bad skill. I guess on the good luck side we had Jeter, who managed to hit seventeen hoppers that somehow found the spaces between the fielders. Every f'n time. * Later * = I just remembered that I hadn't taken the obligatory shot at Jeter for a while. Thanks for teeing that one up for me.

It is a way to back up the old, "when he hits it, he hits it hard". But, as Rob Deer (the first name that came to mind) showed us, the key word in that sentence is "when". Its a new statistical toy to be used when convenient. Later

Edgy MD wrote: What's a smudge less than Rafael, you think? Bowman? Whalen? Molina? Ynoa? Those guys seem to qualify as a smidge less than Rafael if only because of his major league experience. I wouldn't give up very much more than that for Zobrist. IMO he doesn't address the need for a healthy every day left fielder with some power. His strength is in his versatility. Later

"Strangers come and cut your heart out": Injuries in 2015
MFS62 replied to Edgy MD's topic in New York Mets Talk
Edgy MD wrote: Michael Cuddyer may be DL bound, according to Adam Rubin. The injury is a bone bruise, and tends to worsen as games progress. He's started only six games in July thus far. I guess the most likely internal option right now looks like Travis Tajeiron. Whoever it is � unless it's Dillon Gee, Rafael Montero, Dario Avarez, Vic Black, Jack Leathersich, Akeel Morris, Scott Rice, Logan Verrett, Travis d'Arnaud, Anthony Recker, or Zach Lutz � would be Met #1000. They're going to activate Cesar Puello from the 60 day DL and he's going to hit .290/ .338/ .510 for the rest of the year and lead the Mets to a World Series Championship. Baseball is a funny game. Later -
I can't think of a single reason why they shouldn't be looking to acquire a first baseman along with those other parts. Later

d'Kong76 wrote: They left like 25 men on base. Can't remember the last time the Mets suicide squeezed... anyone? I realize the RBI is one of the old counting stats that has fallen down the list of importance. But, can't someone on this team drive in a fucking run? I was at a birthday party and heard scores from time to time. When they took the 1-0 lead and Familia was coming in I thought "In the bag". Whew! I guess a win is a win. But that's like saying that any landing you can walk away from is a good one. They battled. Later

That Mets lineup couldn't hit Rosemary Clooney. Later

Don't think either if them is a prospect, but a minor league note. While we were noting the return in last night's game for Las Vegas, something else happened. Two pitchers with the first name Chase* appeared for the Mets. And they pitched in consecutive innings. Interesting. Later *= last names Hudgington and Bradford
