    Edgy MD wrote: A point of order: Zack Wheeler wasn't "dealt away from the organization" as such, but left as a free agent of his own accord. Are we therefore to assume the list of pitcher you are looking for includes pitchers who left as free agents? Yes. That was a phrasing error on my part. My bad. Here's the question, properly rephrased: We're looking for pitchers who struck out at least 200 batters in a season for a team other than the Mets after playing in the Mets organization.

    We're looking for pitchers who struck out at least 200 batters in a season for a team other than the Mets after being dealt away from the Mets organization. One guess per post. No two in a rowing. If you submit a guess, you may not submit another guess until at least one other poster has submitted a guess.

    I was figuring that all the Mets have to do to win that Card game is for them to set the floor to win that game. But then I saw that "both sides know this" comment and realized that the Cards can just the same, set their own floor to win that game. And so we're back to scratch with this setting the floor business as each team's own floor setting should cancel out the other team's floor setting. Maybe Edgy's right all along when he suggested that the Mets should just forfeit the game. They each can submit a starting pitcher, and then each manager submits a number of runs they think they'll score to Manfred, and Manfred looks at the numbers and assigns a winner on a live ESPN prime time show. I'd submit a trillion runs scored if I was in charge of that for the Mets. What's more than a trillion? A trillion and one? Set the floor at a trillion and one runs.

    6:40 is a positively lovely time to start a game on an August Saturday night if you live in Seattle. This is a trip where the Mets should set the floor at 6 wins. Given the quality of opponent, more should be possible, but 6 is the minimum of what they need to stay in this wild card race. I have no idea if six is the minimum number of wins the Mets'd need to stay in the wild card race but if it was up to me, I'd set the floor at 10 wins. Maybe it's just me, but I'd try to win every game, not just six of them. What does that even mean, to "set the floor at 6 wins"? And if the Mets go 5-5 on this trip, does that mean that they're eliminated from wild card contention?

    =Marshmallowmilkshake post_id=164821 time=1722435964 user_id=119] Will Leitch had good things to say about the Mets, including the team in his ranking of who did best. 4. Mets It is sort of remarkable how quickly we have collectively adjusted to the Mets making smart, prudent, small-scale moves. For all the bluster from the ownership box, they are operating like a team that knows it is good enough to compete this year without blowing up everything in the future. The Mets needed a left-handed bat, so they got Jesse Winker. They needed some rotation depth, so they got Paul Blackburn. They needed bullpen arms, so they got … a whole bunch of them. And they didn't give up anything they will miss. Even better: The Braves, the team they're chasing in the NL East and the Wild Card, didn't do much other than try to make it 2021 again by science or magic. The Mets keep doing smart things. Eventually it'll stop being surprising.

    Edgy MD wrote: Well, the Mets probably won't be using any of their 1994 players down the stretch. What does this even mean? Serious question. It means that the Mets 2024 post-season hopes have nothing to do with what the Mets did in 1994 or what they did in just about any other past season.

    =kcmets post_id=164675 time=1722362851 user_id=53] Yeah, and the article was probably discussed here. Just sharing...

    I think some of the deGrom thing is gone over here, I didn't re-read it today but recall reading it.... https://www.nytimes.com/2023/02/28/sports/baseball/jacob-degrom-rangers.htmlhttps://www.nytimes.com/2023/02/28/sports/baseball/jacob-degrom-rangers.html I remember that article from when it was first published. It doesn't answer any of the questions I raised in my previous post in this thread. And I don't believe a single word of anything deGrom says in that article. None of it makes any sense. It's disingenuous. I figure that deGrom's smart enough to know what he should say publicly to appear as diplomatic as possible. And if he didn't know what to say, then he was coached by his handlers and advisors. I'm not knocking deGrom personally. He was a good guy here and never made any trouble as far as I can see. And he had the right to choose to play for Texas if that was his preference.

    That song was #1? I must've been in a coma that month. And after listening/watching about 35 seconds of the song on the linked youtube video, I'm so glad I was in a coma. Probably a Mookie/Buckner ball induced coma and hangover. That song is like Rick Astley, but on quaaludes. And with a lot more synth. Awful. Just awful.

    He probably didn't wanna be here in 2022, either. 2021, too.

    Edgy MD wrote: It was actually Gelbs introducing the stretching-out thesis. Didn't mean to shortchange Steve. Only listening via radio here so either Howie came up with it independently or needs to a better job with attribution. Or maybe they both knew. But thanks either way, because when I first read your skeptical posts about Butto's appearance today, I was convinced that Mendoza had lost his mind, had no plan whatsoever, and was throwing darts at a poster of Jeff Wilpon to figure out who his next pitcher would be.

    Edgy MD wrote: Seeing Winker in #3 feels a little weird. I certainly don't think it should be retired, but explicitly putting a number on a memorial patch sort of makes it feel like it's otherwise out of circulation. Of course, we've had Taylor in 15 while it's part of the Grote memorial patch. =ashie62 post_id=164412 time=1722190365 user_id=90] It is creepy, would there be any harm in waiting on those numbers for a short while
