A Boy Named Seo

Raley and Coonrod sound like a shitty country band opening for Morgan Wallen at the CPAC cocktail party. Instead it's the New York Mets bullpen.

=Fman99 post_id=117831 time=1675730075 user_id=86] These hats are really nice. I would shit in like 2/3 of them.

Great news, everyone! I now know what my dream job is! It's the New Era Hat Design R&D position, where presumably, it is only expected of the person(s) holding that job to get HIGH AS FUGGG and https://www.neweracap.com/collections/new-york-mets?page=1crap out a bunch of designs and all of them will be accepted! A job where you only fail by not showing up!! Did you ever eat a dank-ass brownie and think to yourself "what if the Mets were the Padres?" Well, so did some other potsie in the R&D department at New Era!

Someone at New Era had the SAME EXACT thought. [fimg=400]https://cdn.shopify.com/s/files/1/0601/2554/4675/products/60297832_59FIFTY_MLBFELT2022_NEYMET_GREEN_F.png[/fimg] Have you ever swallowed half a bottle of THC tincture and wonder if angels (Heaven not Anaheim) are into the Mets? It's a very good question, you, and one that New Era emphatically attempted to answer.

SO HAS SOMEONE ELSE AT NEW ERA. [fimg=400]https://cdn.shopify.com/s/files/1/0601/2554/4675/products/60333078_59FIFTY_KAMONTHLYCUSTOMS_NEYMET_OTC_3QL.png[/fimg] So my question is: What the fuck?

That Josh Walker guy is pretty intriguing, too. Giant 6' 6" lefty whose K/9 really jumped when they used him as a reliever (38 Ks in 22 IP last year). He's 27 so your time is now, bruv.

Stuff I just learned about Grant Hartwig: He's really good? RHP Grant Hartwig went 6–2 with a 1.75 ERA (11 ER/56.2 IP), 83 strikeouts and led all Mets farmhands with 13 saves in 39 relief appearances combined with Single-A St. Lucie, High-A Brooklyn, Double-A Binghamton and Triple-A Syracuse. Over his final 29 games of the 2022 season, Hartwig pitched to a 0.86 ERA (4 ER/42.0 IP) with 10 saves and held opposing batters to a .472 OPS. The 6-foot-5, 235-pounder signed with the Mets as an undrafted free agent out of Miami (OH) University on July 22, 2021. He'll be 25 this season so if he keeps doing that thing at AAA, maybe he'll be the first Met assigned a 4-digit number.

To spring training! But not to join the roster yet, chill. linky: https://metsinsider.mlblogs.com/mets-announce-15-players-invited-to-major-league-camp-90001ae1b0a6https://metsinsider.mlblogs.com/mets-announce-15-players-invited-to-major-league-camp-90001ae1b0a6

FYI for any newbies I am on record for defending these guys against skanky girls but this sounds a bit more specific I'm on the record for "hang them from a tree"... but only if we know for sure they are guilty. I'm not on record for hanging anyone from a tree, especially a Black player (I'm sure you didn't mean it that way but that reads badly in this case). But if he is guilty, I hope at age 24, there is still time for him to figure out why violence was the option he chose against his girlfriend and learn how to ID that emotion and not do that same thing again in his life. I hope there is a path to redemption for him and still hope he can be a good person to other people. As for playing professional baseball, that's always sketchier for me. That profession is an extreme privilege, so I don't know what it would look like to retain (or re-attain) that privilege, but I would think it would have to be a stew that has most or all of these ingredients: 1) admission of guilt 2) legit remorse (what is legit? I don't know) 3) sincere apology to victim 4) serve suspension/jail time 5) therapy/DV education 6) continued work in those spaces after career resumes 7) other stuff I missed? I said before that I hope the league and the Mets make a clear point in demonstrating that they don't tolerate violence against women. So where do you go if you want to give a remorseful and rehabilitated person a second chance? I don't know. I don't blame any team that doesn't want to sign a player who has committed DV. If there's a surefire way to make sure women (and male allies) do not want to consume your product, it's to put a person who has been violent to women right in front of them. IF a team wanted to sign a guy who's done this, I think they should be out front in acknowledging the charge and the team should also join the player in doing work in education and support spaces. If you're going to go in, go all in on the rehabilitation, but more importantly, also be an ally and work for the victims. I can absolutely see the flaws in that plan, though. Which direction does everyone else's moral compass swing on this? Doing something is easy. Doing the right thing is hard.

And by "the right thing" I hope you mean, "not rush to judgment, hear both sides of the story, and place him on paid leave while the legal process plays out" I hope anyone deciding anything carefully considers all evidence before rendering their judgement. And if enough evidence is there to determine he was violent with his then-girlfriend, I hope the league and the Mets make an extremely clear point of demonstrating that they won't tolerate that shit.

That's just, like, your opinion, man.

MISERY's photo is great and fills the page in a satisfying way, but the text layout really serves it, too. It's really uncluttered and minimal, except for the word "misery", which looks like it wants to crush Lindor.

I don't remember "Big Lebowski" specifically, but I remember "Dudabides" (dude abides) here and there.

Don't forget to renew/make cuts/SEND TASTY TRADE OFFERS TO ME! Keeper deadline is nigh!

Pretty interesting deal. Mets buy out two arbitration years keeping McNeil from hitting free agency at age [CROSSOUT]32[/CROSSOUT] 33. Wonder how many nuts he would've squirreled away on the open market if he played the arb game a couple more times? Seems pretty team-friendly (but $50M guaranteed is kinda awesome, too). Yay, team! Edit: FK got the ages right above

It apparently opened last fall and https://paullukas.substack.com/p/a-visit-to-the-jackie-robinson-museumPaul Lukas just went to check it out. Have any of yall been? It looks fantastic. https://www.jackierobinsonmuseum.org/https://www.jackierobinsonmuseum.org/

except, Brooks Robinson got in for his defense moreso than his offense...plus, the Orioles were in the playoffs 6 years, when only 4 teams made the playoffs & he was a pretty big influence on the team's results... Rolen wasn't in Brooks' class defensively, and his offense wouldn't have gotten him in as a Left Fielder or a first baseman in a better class of candidates.. While Rolen has better power numbers than Keith, Keith was a better hitter overall and an exceptional defensive player... When you think of the best defensive infielders of your lifetime, I think: 1B: Keith; SS: Ozzie; 3B: Brooks; C: Pudge/Yadier; P: Gregg Maddux; 2B: ? Damn, Rolen and Keith were surprisingly (to me) https://stathead.com/baseball/player-comparison.cgi?request=1&sum=0&player_id1=rolensc01&player_id2=hernake01&type=btwo great comps, with almost identical games played, PAs and ABs. Rolen earned about 20 more dWAR than Keith, though, proving that being even the very best first defensive first baseman probably needs to come with 300 homers or 3000 hits if you wanna get your Hall pass.

I think we just need some person on the Mets web/mobile dev team to fix it. this is in the source. I think our hero may need to update the data held in that container and that might be it. #5 I bet La-Keisha can fix it or knows someone who can. https://www.linkedin.com/in/lmtowner/https://www.linkedin.com/in/lmtowner/

Waiting for this place to change the description to "rare, limited edition souvenir of Carlos Correa's two fake weeks as a Met! Get them while you still can!" https://breakingt.com/collections/new-york-m-baseball/products/carlos-correa-queenshttps://breakingt.com/collections/new-york-m-baseball/products/carlos-correa-queens

Correa may not make it, but this is a first-ballot CPF HOF thread.

Quite a drop in years and guaranteed dough. The Mets (and Giants) must have been absolutely terrified by whatever was on those medicals. Hey Brett Baty, I hope you didn't sell your 3B mitt on ebay yet!

Cmon, Syracuse do a "basket of deplorables" giveaway and shell out shitloads of Tammy TP.

His bio says "retired MLB catcher". Is he trolling me cause it's working.

Is that the about-to-be-batted ball hidden behind the L in RALLY? Cmon, Daily News. I'd be pissed if I were the photog.

It should be CATCH but they did everything they could to obscure a wonderful photo by including the Jake inset, which I agree offers nothing, and sharing the back page real estate with Serena. Imagine that cover expanded to the top of the page without the Wimbledon blurb, where you could actually see Nimmo's airborn legs, and no smiley Jake photo? What coulda been.
