    Ewing looks lost.
  2. Centerfield
    Who closes tonight? You figure Senga is unavailable.
  3. Centerfield
    He couldn’t have come across more likeable.
  4. Centerfield
    Part of the reason I always think it’s a good idea to sign Walker Buehler is that he pitches well every time I see him. And must suck all other times.
  5. Centerfield
    I should be able to watch a few innings of this game tonight. Looking forward to it.
  6. Centerfield
    Benge up to .757. Great defense too. Unfortunately Ewing has dropped to .705.
  7. Centerfield
    David Stearns checks the CBA to see if this is allowed.
  8. Centerfield
    I heard it’s Teriyaki Sato.

    Internet says his walkout song is Beat It by Michael Jackson.
  10. Centerfield
    Kodai needs a cool entrance song. Cant do trumpets anymore. Does anyone know some cool French Horn songs?
  11. Centerfield
    Maybe 3B once Bichette opts out.
  12. Centerfield
    We have our 2027 1B. tell Stearns he can focus on other needs.
  13. Centerfield
    Awful. Loved Butch.

    Yup. I can definitely get behind that. You can even make up some bullshit excuse to justify it. "Keep pressure off his calf" etc. If we're opening up this thread to all suggestions, mine would be: 1. Shut down Jorge Polanco. Get him healthy for 2027 2. Shut down (or bench) Marcus Semien. We know what he is. We're just wasting ABs on him. 3. Ronny Mauricio plays every day. 4. Juan Soto at 1B. Let's see what he looks like. 5. Tell Francisco Alvarez to forget about framing. Concentrate all efforts on catching or blocking every pitch.

    Or to refute the draw of the UFC, peptides, T-Supplement, Joe Rogan crowd that is specifically targeting young white non-college educated males.

    Teriyaki Sato is a name I'd come up with if I didn't know any real japanese people and was forced to name one on the spot.

    He certainly doesn't seem to be healthy. He can't play the field. And he's stiff. Like those mid 50s guys that play softball. I guess if this is him healthy, then that's a bigger problem. I feel like Polanco is a guy who's shown us what he is. When healthy, he's a guy that will give you a mid to upper 700s OPS, and will play multiple positions, but none of them well. When he's not healthy, he's not productive. And he's usually not healthy. Even in 2025, his "healthy" season, he only played 138 games. I don't think anything he does these last 40 games should change how we view him for 2027. And I agree it's foolish to count on him as a starter. I think the focus should be to get him as healthy as possible, and hope he manages to stay on the field for 100 games or so.
  18. Centerfield
    It occurs to me. Why are we even playing him? He’s struggling. He’s hurt. Mauricio is playing well in Syracuse. Shut down Polanco and let him get healthy for next year. Let’s give Ronny some consistent ABs.
  19. Centerfield
    Put another way. If you asked Noah Syndergaard if he thought Somalis were "garbage people" I'm sure he'd vehemently disagree. And then be shocked that the President whose hat he wears had said such things.
  20. Centerfield
    I just read the whole thing. This is exactly right. Especially the part about the hopes of a comeback. This poor guy felt like nothing his whole life, then his arm gave him his identity. And just like this his arm is gone, and his identity with it. The lure of MAGA is alluring for guys like Noah. Deep down, I'm sure he's a good guy. Just lost.
  21. Centerfield
    Noah never struck me as particularly bright. And that puts Hims squarely in the risk zone for MAGA propaganda.
  22. Centerfield
    How was Thornton? Kinda seems like he was lucky to escape with only 3 ER.

    True, it's not necessarily garbage time for the opponents. But they're meaningless games for the Mets. And although situations may be '"high leverage" within the game, I don't know if you can extrapolate that the results would be similar when the division is on the line next year. Assuming someone like Lavender makes 20 appearances or so, and performs moderately well. Is that worth keeping him around for next year? It may be. But as you stated, spots are limited. Both on the active roster and on the 40. From what we've seen, Lavender might be a good second lefty in the pen behind Raley. But at the cost of Cionel Perez? Or exposing Yan to waivers? Duarte has looked pretty good. But do you protect him and risk losing Reid Garret? How about Dedniel Nunez? Brilliant in 2024, but has been hurt and it's tough to know what he is now. It sounded easy when the deadline trades were made. It's an audition and if you're good, you'll be here next year. But even with the guys we have, we're facing a roster crunch, and difficult decisions will need to be made.

    Soto is weird. A lot of great hitters are weird. Yo was batshit crazy. Mike Piazza looked menacing as hell, but was weirdly aloof and had a girly voice. Carlos Beltran was sensitive. Soto is just a little bit off. Fine by me.
