    That triple play is gonna stick in my craw until morning coffee... It's "water under the bridge" and "what's done is done," but I keep thinking about the Triple Play. Even if the 1B ump blew the call, the HP ump was facing the play. Why didn't he say anything? Perhaps he wasn't watching or didn't have the guts to overrule a colleague. Also, as mentioned above, the 2B ump signaled "safe," meaning the ball was in play. That told the runners they could run. Why was that call ignored? The Mets might have still lost, but if the proper decision was made, the Mets would have had AT WORST a runner on 3d with 2 outs and possibly the bases loaded and no outs. Maybe they wouldn't have scored but Irvin would have thrown more pitches and left the game earlier. It's over but it still stinks. The next time Keith talks about the "human element," I hope Gary asks about the four humans who missed an obvious call.

    Bad news, especially with Taylor not hitting. Perhaps: McNeil goes to LF and Nimmo to CF.

    Hayden Senger made the Grid for me.

    Can we pin the prediction threads?

    Best defensive catcher in the organization.

    It looks like we have the same eight teams again for '25. We can add more if anyone wants to join the fun (it has to be an even number as we are head-to-head). Please look at the settings and suggest changes. We are an NL-only league with a limited bench

    Benjamin Grimm wrote: Tampa St. Pete is the nation's 17th largest media market, so I can understand why Manfred is reluctant to abandon the area. But for whatever reason (I haven't been paying close enough attention to speculate why) it's not working. I really suspect they'll be playing somewhere else by the end of the decade. MLB doesn't have to abandon the area: Nashville is hot for a team (they even unveiled caps yesterday: https://www.mlbmusiccity.com/https://www.mlbmusiccity.com/). TB sells to the Nashville ownership group, which avoids the expansion fees and gets a team next year (which has to play at the minor league ballpark in Nashville until a new stadium is built--this isn't good but that's Manfred's problem). Manfred tells Tampa (I'm paraphrasing): "We haven't abandoned you. If you get your shit together you will get an expansion team (when we expand)."

    Willie is also my #1.

    Whether or not free agency is involved, I suspect Donovan Walton will become this year's Zack Short and "go north" with the team to give Acuna regular ABs in Syracuse and get him more reps at 3B. Sooner than later, Acuna is called-up and Walton is released.

    He has a good interview on the "Meet Me at the Apple" podcast.

    If we say "Crane Pool Forum" do we get a discount?

    From a Sports TV Discord: "[N]ow we know why the Mets-Astros off day after opening day was filled in with a game - SNY crew confirmed that March 28 game is on Apple. And they said they won't be calling any Dodgers-Mets games in New York, so unlike last year's Friday's Dodgers-Yankees game with FOX and ESPN games to follow, that May 23 game is Apple exclusive."

    =Centerfield post_id=173786 time=1728005666 user_id=65] If we get a baserunner Pete will have one more chance to do something special. If.

    A big FU as in MFY to Connections on Saturday.

    I will be at the Away portion of the split-squad games on Sunday.

    =kcmets post_id=185812 time=1740252279 user_id=53] If anyone is DVR'ng, the Lindor interview in the 4th inning is good.

    The off-season: the Mets signed Soto and they wanted him back. They signed leftovers and removed an antiquated policy.

    I'm the "and company". The company is just me so it's a small company. G-fafif stepped away from the podcast so I'm just the company now (the org chart is one line). Beginning on Sunday, the company will provide first-hand reports from Spring Training on "Grapefruit League Town."

    Many thanks to Benjamin Grimm and the TCD Staff for their hard work (despite a lack of advanced planning on the ceremony).

    He can't throw for 6 to 8 weeks and then can start a ST program. Quintana is available and likely inexpensive.
