Mendoza about Vientos. “He didn’t look good”. Maybe Mauricio time.
-
I can’t find any updates on Brooks Raley except a random tweet by Anthony Dicomo that he should be ready around the end of June.
-
It made no sense to me either. One mitigating circumstance could be that with the rain Mendy didn’t think they’d get all 9 in. But still.
-
Hot Corner DH candidate Brandon Waddell not having the best day today.
-
That would be a huge lift if he's healthy and effective. I'm getting way ahead of myself here. But I feel like a huge part of how we do in October will depend on the performance of our left-handed reliever.
-
What about Brooks Raley?
-
We are not allowed to have lefty relievers.
-
Kinda. Looks like an incredible athlete. Super fast. But very long-limbed. Almost too long. Like it’s hard for him to have fine coordination because of it. I felt this way about Amed Rosario. I don’t think he’ll ever be a very good contact hitter because of it. It looks like he can hit one out when he gets a hold of one. He just hasn’t yet. Took a bad route on that Rooker triple.

Let's talk about Sandy Alcantara
Centerfield replied to Benjamin Grimm's topic in New York Mets Talk
I’d trade any prospect in the Mets system for Alcantara. I bet Stearns would too. But I’m guessing someone can give a package that will beat the Mets. -
Youse mean pitchers should avoid pitching to the sweet spot? That's what pitchers have been doing, or trying to do, since baseball was invented. Yes. But assuming it’s a regular barrel, the idea is to live on the corners. If the barrel is now middle in, then the batter should be vulnerable away.
-
So then pitch them outer half.

Get a load of the load times.

Yeah. Not good. -
I definitely have some weird psychosis. Just based on my gut, I believe Nimmo, Alonso, McNeil, Senga and Diaz will have bounce back seasons. I think Alvarez and Baty will break out. I think Mauricio will get back healthy and be a big factor for us sometime this year. I also think Manaea and Peterson will duplicate what they did last year. And Holmes will be good as a starter. At the same time I think the Mets will win 77 games, because, they're the Mets. But I'm trying not to think that way anymore. So. My predictions. 1. What will the Mets' record be? 91-71 2. Predict the NL East standings from 1 to 5: ATL - NYM - PHI - WAS - MIA 3. Will the Mets make the playoffs (if so, as the division champ or 1st, 2nd, or 3rd WC)? Yes. First WC 4. If so, how far will they go? NLDS 5. Who will be the World Champion? Texas Rangers 6. Number of regular season HRs for Pete Alonso: 44 7. Who will be on the cover of the 2025 winner of the Tabloid Cover Derby? Jose Siri

Musicals. Cat vs phantom vs French revolutionary vs chorus line Maybe work in a rockette somehow.

I think the idea is fun. I think the costumes are a miss. In the other parks, it’s all sausages or all Presidents. Here the mascots are too much of a jumble. There are so many things we could have done. Buildings. ESB vs Chrysler vs Freedom Tower vs Statue of Liberty. Mayors. Rudy. Bloomberg. Koch. La Guardia. Foods. Pizza. Bagel. Apple. Knish. Taco. We could even use offensive stereotypes for this one.

Hagenman has looked good this spring. 2.25 ERA with a 1.13 WHIP. Canning has been even better. 0.90 ERA with a 0.80 WHIP. It's not too late for someone to jump on the Max Kranick bandwagon. 9.1 IP, 0.96 WHIP, 1.93 ERA. Paul Blackburn on the other hand... Of course, it's just spring training. And spring training stats mean nothing.
-
Awful. Starting pitchers are losing half a season to injuries that didn’t exist a generation ago. Pitching is so fragile.
-
Big news from Yankee camp as a fly ball was hit to LF and Jasson Dominguez caught it.
-
Maybe we did have it. Here's Mike Piazza in his last game as a Met.
-
I remember him trying. Did it fly? Here's Pedro Martinez violating that rule.
-
The rule was one of the dumbest things in all of sports. It arose from a moral standard that is long outdated. It's insulting to grown professional men who are the greatest in their arena. It may have served as a detriment in free agency, now that the Yankees are not at a financial advantage over all other teams. It was likely illegal. Given that they benefit from the anti-trust exemption and have player control for 6+ years. But I liked that it made the Yankees look stupid and outdated.
-
Excited for this.

To recap: 1. MMM: Griffin Canning 2. irish: Justin Hagenman 3. BG: Jared Young 4. MFS62: Huascar Brazoban 5. Gwreck: Luke Ritter 6. doctee: Paul Blackburn 7. Fman: George Harrison 8. mm: Jonathan Frickin' Pintaro 9. JCL: Kevin "Night Train" Herget 10. KC: NONE A few notes. *smg: Tidwell/Hamel. Neither guy is on BP top 10. So both are eligible. Please pick one! *George Harrison. If he were alive, would have been the most likely to have a hit song. But he's dead. So seems like a long shot. *Brazoban, Canning and Blackburn. I'll allow these. But these are definitely on the lighter side of the Dark Horse eligibility pool. They might be Dusk Horse Mets. Like say, Jose Valentin.
-
Sure. But the honorable thing to do is to guess before you see them in action. Real men make decisions with as little data as possible.
-
yeah, that's a dark horse right there. let's go! This is what I'm talking about right here. That's a real Dark Horse. Luke Ritter. Jared Young. Hagenman. These are some dark horses. Griffin Canning? Paul Blackburn? GTFOH Reminds me of an article I saw recently. It was like "Breakout Candidates for 2025!" and had names like Corbin Carroll, Jackson Merrill.
