Is it possible that we have a Rookie-of-the-Year candidate in Andrés Giménez? I have a feeling that even if everyone is healthy, as unlikely as that may be, Andrés will keep playing if he keeps producing. So let's assume he does that. Are there any obvious competitors that we'd have to worry about? Not only is it possible, but if Gimenez can win the 2020 ROY award while accumulating less than 130 at-bats, he'd still be eligible to win the ROY award next season, as well.

    Jacob deGrom is now baseball's hardest throwing pitcher. His pitches have ticked up a few MPH's over last season. His average fastball is 99MPH and his average slider is now averaging almost 94MPH. This stat shows Jacob deGrom is getting even better, which is scary Excerpt: Good luck trying to hit anything thrown by New York Mets ace Jacob deGrom these days. https://fansided.com/2020/08/04/jacob-degrom-mets-getting-even-better/https://fansided.com/2020/08/04/jacob-degrom-mets-getting-even-better/

    Steven Matz leads the league in HR's allowed (most) and hits allowed (also most). Also, the Mets are only one game behind the NL's current eighth-seeded team.

    Okay. You're the casting director for a movie about the 1962 New York Mets. Who's you're Casey? Your Joan Payson? Whaddyayouse think about Al Pacino and Glenn Close? Me, I'd shoot for Woody Allen and Diane Keaton. And I'll throw in Wallace Shawn as Marvelous. What say youse? https://www.thescore.com/news/1953997https://www.thescore.com/news/1953997

    What happened to Scherzer?

    Cordell will be memorialized, forever, in a Typewriter Chewing Gum complete or total Mets 2020 baseball card set, currently in the design and planning stage.

    Love these unis the Nats wore yesterday -- but mainly the fronts. They're alternates, with gold for their WS win. It's a clean, classic look -- the fronts. Plus, I always hated the Nats regular number fonts.

Lotsa stuff's gonna have to be asterisked. I figured Pete'd hit 10 or 12 homers, tops this year. Between the shortened season, that the opposition would have studied him intensely -- and continue to do so -- based on his awesome rookie season, and that last year's baseball was likely juiced to an extent greater than ever in baseball history, I expected a big drop in homers, anyways, even adjusting for the pandemic conditions. On the other hand, though, and to Pete's credit, last season's hit tracking data indicated that Alonso didn't benefit as much from the juiced baseball as much as other players did. His power is for real and his home run hitting mechanics are solid. Pete still outhomered every other major leaguer last year, with the same ball and playing his home games in a pitcher's park.

    When's deGrom's next start?
  13. batmagadanleadoff
    Pete Alonso's on pace to set the major league record for biggest decrease in homers from one season to the next.

    If the 2-1 Marlins keep on coming down with the coronavirus, they'd finish in first place with baseball's best record (.667), with whatever home field advantage that gets them.

Not according to this piece in The Athletic: https://theathletic.com/1969692/2020/08/02/a-bizarre-day-and-an-opt-out-what-happened-with-yoenis-cespedes-and-the-mets/https://theathletic.com/1969692/2020/08/02/a-bizarre-day-and-an-opt-out-what-happened-with-yoenis-cespedes-and-the-mets/ In fact, this piece comes down on the Mets for, once again, reprising their LOLMets selves. Cespedes had serious covid concerns, a sick mother in the US and was extremely bothered by the way his teammates, his maskless teammates, mobbed him in celebration, to hell with social distancing, after his season debut homer, among other things. Cespedes, for his slow start, was still on pace to make about $7M this season.

    A replay of the Irsay move in the middle of the night First thing I thought of, obviously. [FIMG=155]https://png.pngitem.com/pimgs/s/409-4090657_eye-roll-animated-eye-roll-emoji-gif-hd.png[/FIMG]

    =TransMonk post_id=42642 time=1596403863 user_id=71] Ces' First Mets Game: August 1, 2015 Ces' Last Mets Game: August 1, 2020 He missed a couple in between.

There are right ways to opt out, and wrong ways. Yo did it the wrong way. He might not be able to play at the level he'd like to be performing at, maybe by a wide margin. If true, he'd know best. Maybe between that and the pandemic, he'd rather take his chances in 2021. He's already got enough money to live out his life like a king.

Perhaps he was seen dancing naked in the Centennial Olympic Park water fountain. And his cell phone got wet. I dunno. I just know that this'll be the biggest sports story in New York for the next 3 or 4 days. Whatever I had been up to, I would appreciate it if the club spoke with me before letting the world know. eh, fuck that. its game day and you aren't at the park, reporters and others will immediately be asking why. The Mets shouldn't need to lie or say 'no comment' because you didn't have the common decency to make a phone call. Don't like it? don't work in an industry where your job takes place on live television. How can you think that before at least knowing the reason for Cespedes's disappearance? I t was already reported that the Mets knew he wasn't in danger. So?
