Thank you 41Forever.

I usually start this thread but I've been attending to other, less fun things. 84-78, second place, not good enough for anything of a postseason nature, but they are close enough to the WC so we have hope into September.

As long as they keep it in the minors, I don't care and likely neither do the players, announcers, employees... really anyone but the managers who are judged, in part, on wins and losses (which isn't fair) and definitely the pitcher who gets the loss. The teams have 22 or 23 players so they can run out of players in extras. Plus, they have to get on a bus to Altoona right after the game and that's far so a game going until 2 AM isn't good. Let's see how it works. Yes, as Edgy said "[t]hese things have a way of sticking around" (see, e.g., hockey shootouts deciding games, which I hate even though it's exciting) but at AA and below, it really doesn't matter. I go to one or two games in Bowie (AA) every year and no one cares about the result.

Right. Ron has said that he didn't meet play-by-play announcer Mel Proctor until the day of the 1st game in the taxi on the way to the game. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mel_Proctor

Frayed Knot wrote: These announcers are all "Max this" and "Max that" and "When we signed Max." Bleh. The Nats' MASN team is really very high-school-ish in their approach. Trivia: in the Nationals first season, their color announcer was Ron Darling.

[tweet:8c8yparc] [/tweet:8c8yparc] This is because he gave up golf so he had nothing else to do.

Yo has been scratched. No reason yet.

$5M for one year. For that money, I'd rather have him at 2B than Cabrera.

5 and 10 so far. It means nothing of course. But it's still 5 and 10. http://mlb.mlb.com/mlb/standings/exhibition.jsp?ymd=20180311

Why couldn't they have had both? They would have had to move Cabrera but if so, it would have made the team better which I'm pretty sure is what ownership and Sandy should be striving for.

The Mets are mentioned during David Letterman's interview with Malala Yousafzai on Netflix. That was a surprise and I don't want to ruin it for you but it occurs at the 43-minute mark.

My bad. Fixed the title. At least one day off for GKR.

Facebook will be the exclusive home of 25 mid-week afternoon games, beginning with the Mets-Phillies on April 4. The games will not be on local channels and the games will be produced by MLB Network using their "talent". http://awfulannouncing.com/facebook/mlb-inks-deal-air-25-games-exclusively-facebook-watch.html

Was this a "premium" game so you had to spend more? If so, you got ripped-off!

Spring training games might or might not mean anything but on Friday night, Guillorme had 3 RBI including a 2 run singles off Giles, the HOU closer. He played SS and booted one grounder but then started a nice DP. Evans moved to SS for Rosario on Saturday which surprised me but he looked good.

A Boy Named Seo wrote: I looked up Everybody Wants Some and remembered it's something like Linklater's Dazed and Confused, but in the 80s. I didn't know it was a baseball movie at all (maybe it's not, who knows). Anyway, it's on Amazon Prime if anyone else has that. It's definitely not a baseball movie. There are only two scenes that show them playing baseball. Lots of talk but they could have been talking about anything.

"I've been jerked off". Wow, I didn't expect such details. I guess it's a perk of being a pro ballplayer.

41Forever wrote: Jerry is so wrong about Field of Dreams. It's my favorite movie ever. I agree. I love when "critics" mock the movie for not being realistic because Shoeless Joe Jackson bats righty instead of lefty. There are dead men who emerge from a cornfield to play baseball and that's what you're focused on for realism?

I enjoyed my time with JCL and family. Despite what you might have guessed, he's a good guy.
-
I was at this game and the highlights were being very close to Syndergaard as he warmed up and spending 4 innings with Family JCL.
-
Not anymore! Arnaldo Berrios (you know who he is!) just hit a two-run homer to give the Mets the lead in the 9th.

Take away G-Fafif's prize!

Give G-Fafif a prize!

It's bmfc, dammit, not bfmc. Nevertheless, yes I will be taking a break from the excitement of Boynton Beach to see players wearing the Mets uniform play at Houston on Friday (split squad) and at Miami on Saturday.
