Know thine Native Americans - Mets @ Cleveland KTE, 6/15-17
MFS62 replied to Chad ochoseis's topic in New York Mets Talk
Roadies always do a good setup job. Nice one. Anderson Hernandez was called up last week. I wonder who the player was who was moved aside (or to the DL) to make room for him. Later -

The 'no surprise' part? This: Worst: CB Bucknor (37%) - Joe West (35%) - Angel Hernandez (22%) Unless you consider Angel Hernandez not being named on 107% of the ballots qualifying as a surprise. http://sports.espn.go.com/mlb/news/story?id=5281467&campaign=rss&source=ESPNHeadlines The first surprise was that Angel Hernandez' face wasn't the first thing I saw when I clicked on the link. The second surprise was that some players left him off the "worst" list. Later

Don't let anyone talk you into going to Phillips for the crabs - they're over rated. Have fun. Bring us all back T-shirts. Later

Heard about the triple play last night. Later, SNY was showing a Mets highlight film (so grainy it looked like a kinnescope) of the 1966 (?) season. In it, the Mets turned a triple play. It went Bressoud to Hiller to Hickman. Then I thought , "Hey! Hiller was a terrible fielding second baseman." Then I thought, "Can Reese Havens be any worse than Hiller?" And then I thought , "Trask ....... radio". Then I fell asleep. Later

"Does it have something to do with total bases?" "No, nothing to do with total bases." Dog made Joe Morgan sound like Bill James. Later

Great job JCL. But shouldn't you be getting ready for your surprise birth..... (oh shit. I ruined it). Later

OK, I wanted to wait until y'all fully digested your breakfast before I posted this. In last night's Buffalo game, Mike Jacobs struck out four times and hit a solo homer. Typical, right? Not exactly. His home run was inside the park. See, told ya'. Later

Round 14 pick James Brown, 2B, University of the Pacific, led Pacific with a .376 batting average as a junior. James Brown? I feeeel good! da da da-da da-da da Later

I may have missed it, but Feliciano was, after all the speculation, officially purchased from Buffalo. Good for him..... finally. Later

Here's a report from a friend who is a Nats fan: I was there (right behind the plate no less). It was awesome. My head exploded. The End I expect to get more details when he sobers up. Later

Bud Harrelson. He was so slight that even if he jumped on my back, I doubt I would get hurt. Ever the pragmatist. PS - keep Frank Howard away from my pile-on. Later

Or at least that's the world according to Nats color man Rob Dibble. THE Rob Dibble? The Wild Man Rob Dibble who averaged 4.5 BB per 9 IP during his career? I know he knows fastballs. But how does he know what a strike is, or should be? Sorry I missed the game. I hate it when work interferes with baseball. Later

I mean, the former's an unhappy accident, but the latter's a willful act of stupidity garnished with needless complication. It WAS a beer. And Pete Rose bet the kid ten bucks he couldn't chug it.

metirish wrote: from mets blog: Mets scout Marlin McPhail watched one outing this season is which Harvey threw 157 pitches. McPhail confessed after watching: "You tend to get a little nervous, quite frankly." I'm not Mr. Pitch Count or anything but 157 for a 20 year old kid? wow. Lennon Looks as though the Mets won't have to worry about Matt Harvey, whom they chose seventh overall in last night's first-year player draft, going deep into games. Harvey, a University of North Carolina junior, threw 157 pitches in a 15-strikeout complete-game victory over Clemson this season. Scouts reported that Harvey's final pitch was 96 mph, a testament to the right-hander's strength and durability. I heard yesterday that he struck out 15 batters in that game. No report whether the coach had guys warming up in the bullpen after Harvey's 108th pitch. Later
