  1. Nimmo gets plunked, but I'm on the record stating that his bunt attempt was a fine idea! If he pushes it past Chen, there's nothing but grass and everyone walks to the next base. Gary didn't like it but I think it was clever up 3 runs in the 7th with them giving you the entire left side.
  2. Gary on Dom Smith: “He's turning into Tony Gwynn!” I love Sleepy Dom.
  3. Why did we trade for Keon Broxton again? Assuming Twitter is right, we're loading the lefties. Go Sleepy Dom! Keep up the good start.
  4. Harper thanked Nats fans with a generic note on instagram today. I'm sure they'll boo his ass, but I hope they all read the https://www.washingtonpost.com/sports/nationals/how-bryce-harper-went-from-im-gonna-be-a-national-to-were-going-to-philly/2019/04/01/8727f018-5495-11e9-9136-f8e636f1f6df_story.html?utm_term=.552b838ae7f9WaPo piece yesterday on his free agency. As we now know, he wanted years/security more than AAV and didn't want to mess with FA again. He thought he was gonna re-sign in DC and the Nats then supposedly dropped their initial 10-year/$300M offer to 12-years/$250M with deferments through 2072 (2072!!!), and that's when he knew when he was gonna bail.
  5. Dykstra phoned a radio show, refuted Darling's claims and https://nypost.com/2019/04/02/ron-darling-digs-in-lenny-dykstra-has-backers-as-fight-gets-ugly/says he plans to sue Darling and the book publisher. Lest your forget he's Lenny Dykstra and therefore a piece of shit, he added that he would “drop [Darling] like a red-headed fucking stepchild.”
  6. I voted Darryl. Always looked beautiful in motion, and nice that this cover was a response to the "Mess" cover, even if getting their shit together was just for a minute. Totally agree w/ Edgy on the Iwo Jima cover. Cool concept for a second, but that never makes it to a cover in woke 2019.
  7. The Mets tonight get Jose Urena, the Marlins ace(?), who got battered by the Rocks on Opening Day. He enters the day with a 9.64 ERA. Conforto has a 1.060 OPS in 19 ABs and is my WITTNER© brand metronomes pick-to-click. Nimmo has a 1.017 OPS in 10 ABs with 2 walks and a homer, so a good night for the kid to start his 2019 season. LGM
  8. There's a little bit of 2018 feel in this nice, little 3-1 start. Glad we're winning the ugly ones, but poor decisions haven't crushed us yet, and the .750 winning % feels like a big, fat mirage.
  9. IIRC, Lagares showed bunt once on two strikes before he got hit, so if he was doing it on his own, Calloway could've had the third base coach tell him to knock that shit off and swing away. But Lagares tried again and got hit. I didn't care for the bunt there, but yeah, if you're gonna bunt in the inning, you probably do it with Nimmo up, with first and second and no outs. Head-scratching. This is another "won and we should have won" but we tip-toed that line of "won even though we tried real hard to give that shit away"
  10. Y'all know we're only three days into the season, right? And we took two out of three from a key division rival? I think we can cool out a bit. A few years back, someone started a thread where games were tracked by "should've won and did", "should've lost and did', "should've lost, but won", "should've won, but lost". Something like that. I don't think any of these were wins that should've been losses or vice versa, but we were tip-toeing those lines a little already.
  11. Yeah I think Avilan faced two batters and Peterson just one after he was brought in on a double-switch (and Lugo was blown out from the previous day's debacle). I guess you could argue that he could have left Peterson in to start the 8th against Dozier ® and see what happens, but that one's fraught with risk, too.
  12. It's been discussed in the IGT's but a couple of decision's in the first series left me swearing at my TV. Game 2 - leaving Wilson Ramos in to run for himself. Did not bite the team in the ass, but easily could have. Gary asked him about it the next day, and per Gary, Mickey said something along the lines of most of the time those pinch running changes make no difference and that he was leery to burn Nido without a third catcher. A lot about that answer I didn't like. Game 3 - stayed with the lefty Wilson to face the righty Turner with Familia warming. Turner hit the GW-homer. I'm not if Familia was ready or not, but damn, Sam. Both are defensible, but seem really conservative to me. Saving some bullets for later is fine, but I don't think either decision put us in better situations to win those games in those moments.
  13. Time for the big bats to deliver a classic 2019 "mouth fuck" to their opponents. Fun fact: “Your team is about to get mouth-fucked” was the 6th runner-up to “Your season has come” in the 2007 team slogan contest!

  15. Broxton's 2-2 with a walk looks better in the box score than it did in real life, but I still hope he eats a bit of Lagares's PT for a bit. 4-2. We don't look bad but we don't look good either. Gselly scaring me here in the 6th but we still have time to win the damn game.
  16. No matter the situation, Familia always looks like he's on mile 24 of a marathon.
  17. Fortunate outcomes this inning. This is when you start putting the fast guys and great gloves in the game, Mickey.
  18. I'm lightly crushing on Broxton (and have mentally broken up with Lagares), but damn I wish CF wasn't such a hole currently.
  19. Wow. How's this gonna shake out? Nimmo - RF (L) Cano - 2B (L) Alonso - 1B ® Conforto - LF (L) Ramos - C ® McNeil - 3B (L) Broxton - CF ® <<< Prob Lagares deGrom - P (L) Rosario - SS ®
  20. Cool, Mets. So if they're doing this, they're doing this, right? Why keep him up if you're going to bench him against tough right-handers.... say, Max Scherzer, just off the top of my head.
  21. What is NEXTSTOP? Some public transportation monthly? I tend to want to give an extra point to an outfit that is not a baseball or sports rag, so LIFE wins it narrowly over HoJo. If HoJo wasn't taking that awkward, fooled-on-the-pitch, dribbler-foul-down-the-third-base-line swing, I mighta voted for him.
  22. Devin Mesoraco - Forever trapped in amber and stored by the Mets at his house in Pittsburgh.
  23. I have been none of those places so can't help at all, but it sounds awesome!
  24. Edgy, I know you say Noah has a lot of Harvey in him, but Harvey would never do this in a million years (even if it's clearly pandering to Syracuse peeps over the travel rift). I think Harv and Noah were both heavily invested in their personal brands as "New York sports superstars", but Noah doesn't take himself as seriously and tries way harder to ingratiate himself to the fanbase. Harv just wanted the hawt models and the big buxx.
