A Boy Named Seo

With his 0-1 today so far, Cameron Maybin is doing something... um, special. He's now hitless in [CROSSOUT]22[/CROSSOUT] make that 23 ABs, so my friend and I were talking about who has the most ABs without a hit in a season for the Mets, and he came up with a list of only 3 guys who have "bettered" Maybin. Can you guess which three Mets have longer hitless streaks than Cameron? The Major League record is 69 (nice) by Bob Buhl of the Cubs. PS - Grimm can hopefully check my homework here, if necessary.

I guess I'm pleasantly surprised that fans in the house today weren't assholes to Harvey, but I'm a little surprised at how beloved he is years later. My feelings on him are a bit more mixed.

=Centerfield post_id=63405 time=1620411948 user_id=65] Great story! So much to unpack here. 1. Dating a lefty. Awesome. 2. Bad job by Dad. 3. Louisville Slugger makes gloves? 4. Please don't let your better half become a lawyer 5. There is nothing better in the world than playing catch. Adults should do this way more often.

Noah has hits and misses, but seems generally pretty good at social media to me. Kinda relieved he's in on this joke.

Yeah, neighbor is a huge Cards fan and we watch games together. Good catch on the lefty! That was a chunk of the story I left out. She said she asked her dad for a mitt when she was a kid and dad got her a glove for a righty (good one, dad). So she tells the neighbor she wants a baseball mitt and can't ever find a good lefty one and he came through bigly.

I know in our upcoming mayoral election, if the candidates didn't have a "D" or and "R" attached to their names, we'd all still suss out which is which. Policy is definitely a thing locally.

My way better half is graduating from law school next week and our neighbor asked what she wanted for a graduation gift. So of course she says a baseball mitt because I ruin every girl I date. My neighbor turns up with this beauty, apparently left behind by the man himself at spring training many moons ago. And then we all played catch in the street. Jason, if you're a lurker on this forum, sorry if this is the equivalent of seeing someone else on your stolen bike. We had nothing to do with it. https://i.imgur.com/4k9tKAl.jpeg>

GIVE DONNIE A RAISE

In an interview, Alderson chastised The Athletic for what he felt was an unfair characterization of how the organization handled allegations of wrongdoing. He also felt some stories spotlighted employees who were tasked with gathering information but were not decision-makers. “Let me try to make a point as strongly as I can, OK? Not every instance involving men, women in the workplace is a capital offense, OK? Every time something happens, it doesn't mean somebody has to be fired,” Alderson said. “There are a lot of intermediate steps that can be taken and we've done that in a variety of different cases. And have included capital punishment as a consequence in some cases, but not every case rises to the level of execution. And that's what honestly I think is happening with these articles (in The Athletic). People are getting executed, including women, by the way, for reasons that are unjustifiable.” Yeah this quote got me, too. If the culture is such that things happen enough to where there are a "variety of different cases", then maybe the culture is shit.

Has anyone seen or heard stats for the 7-inning doubleheaders? I'm curious if there are any divergences from 100+ years of results. Like does the away team win more? I would guess yes. Are there more sweeps? I would guess no?

=Fman99 post_id=31359 time=1581303407 user_id=86] I can't listen to podcasts. I just wish everyone around me would shut up all the time. Lord knows why I'd want them all in my ear on headphones.

The booth was kinda kicking the Mets ass up for not knowing how to pitch Realmuto. Ronnie called it that JT Likes to swing first pitch with a new reliever. The Phillies dugout called that he would be swinging on first pitch. And he got a nice, first pitch meatball and smoked it.

That looks better.

No kits yet as they have a deal with Spanish outfitter Joma who's been challenged to import guy says. Also COVID set their debut back till next year Nah, that's cool. And Joma! Alright! I think the whole league has gone Puma now, so any different kit maker usually means a standout (if nothing else "different") design.

I'm guessing MFY will get one just because. Since these are basically MLB's version of the NBA City Edition, I'm guessing some schlocky Bronx Bombers uniform, or since Sky Blue FC rebranded to Gotham FC, maybe the unoriginal Yankees steal that.

Yall see this? Apparently a handful of teams are gonna do the same. Wonder if the Mets are gonna be there? Guessing not since we know the blacks are gonna show up again this year but who knows. https://www.mlb.com/news/red-sox-release-patriots-day-inspired-city-connect-uniformshttps://www.mlb.com/news/red-sox-release-patriots-day-inspired-city-connect-uniforms https://twitter.com/RedSox/status/1379437682607206402?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw%7Ctwcamp%5Etweetembed%7Ctwterm%5E1379437682607206402%7Ctwgr%5E%7Ctwcon%5Es1_c10&ref_url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.mlb.com%2Fnews%2Fred-sox-release-patriots-day-inspired-city-connect-uniformshttps://twitter.com/RedSox/status/1379437682607206402?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw%7Ctwcamp%5Etweetembed%7Ctwterm%5E1379437682607206402%7Ctwgr%5E%7Ctwcon%5Es1_c10&ref_url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.mlb.com%2Fnews%2Fred-sox-release-patriots-day-inspired-city-connect-uniforms

Did he flub the double switch? I was surprised and Gary seemed surprised but I was on my third beer (don't know about Gary). But lifting deGrom was fucking insane. I know it's OD, but JdG wasn't driving uber in the off-season. He was ready to pitch today and coulda gone the distance if he had to.

It's really gonna piss Georgia off if it turns out this decision was based on any kind of vote

Did you get 8? If ya need another, I'm a sucker.

Thanks. I don't know why I thought that was the case. Was it ever like that?

Ah, thank you. I wish I could say that's why I've been shitty at this league for 3 years.

One question I think I know the answer to, but can't find - position players need to be in the position they played in IRL to get points? True or false?

Adopt loaning players out like European soccer. Say the Mets are ready to start the clock on Khalil Lee and want him to get major league ABs, but don't have a spot for him in the OF. Loan him to the Marlins for a fee! The Cubs need salary relief for this year but aren't sure whether they want to permanently sever ties with Kris Bryant? Loan him to the Mets for the season! Players have to sign off on the loan, and clubs can negotiate how much of salary gets paid by which team. And Bryant can't play for the Mets against the Cubs.
