I started a new thread. Yes, we are.

How do I unpin this?

I forgot that we did this last year. We played with 8 but can play with more, head-to-head, NL only, live draft. 7 have returned but I have had an outdated address for Ceetar. If you want to join, go here: https://baseball.fantasysports.yahoo.com/b1/69309/invitation?key=115d0b2e397b9ba3&soc_trk=lnk&ikey=5c5034622ec9437chttps://baseball.fantasysports.yahoo.com/b1/69309/invitation?key=115d0b2e397b9ba3&soc_trk=lnk&ikey=5c5034622ec9437c I'm thinking April 5 or 6 at 7 PM (ET) for the draft. It should only take an hour.

Game times for ST games have been posted and the home weeknight games are 6:05 PM starts. This is unusual as there is maybe one night game each spring. I wonder if this is Buck's doing with his attention to detail (perhaps: "we play more at night than during the day so we should practice at night"). It's better for the fans as they stay out of the hot sun (and can catch a day game in Jupiter or West Palm Beach). https://postimg.cc/v16H4VRQ

He's a FA after this season. RHP. They gave up good prospects for one-year of control but he's a SP and fits nicely. https://www.fangraphs.com/players/chris-bassitt/12304/stats?position=Phttps://www.fangraphs.com/players/chris-bassitt/12304/stats?position=P https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chris_Bassitthttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chris_Bassitt

I was sure that Yusei Kikuchi was going to be a Met as he gave them a LHP. He won't. He's now a Blue Jay.

Starting March 19. Astros, Cardinals, Marlins, Nationals, on repeat. https://postimg.cc/CBnfjBGM

It's Gary, Keith & Ron all the way!

Good morning, Mets Fans! Get ready for 11:30 AM baseball, exclusively on Peacock. https://awfulannouncing.com/mlb/peacocks-package-of-mlb-games-will-reportedly-air-on-sunday-mornings-and-afternoons-and-will-be-exclusive.html?utm_source=dlvr.it&utm_medium=twitterhttps://awfulannouncing.com/mlb/peacocks-package-of-mlb-games-will-reportedly-air-on-sunday-mornings-and-afternoons-and-will-be-exclusive.html?utm_source=dlvr.it&utm_medium=twitter -
I'm guessing that Nashville is a favorite for an expansion team.
-
3 home games v. WSH and 2 home games v. ATL were postponed. My GUESS is that the WSH games will fill the additional 3 days of the regular season and the 2 games with ATL will become doubleheaders (unless is there is a common off-day).

Benjamin Grimm wrote: Yeah, I'm predicting McNeil to Oakland. OAK has 3 SPs of interest. Frankie Montas is the best but he has another year on his contract so he's the most valuable. Montas for McNeil might be close. McNeil for Chris Bassist or Sean Manaea (LHP), both FAs after 2022, is lopsided to OAK so the Mets would have to get someone else.
-
Re 3): they are definitely adding a LHP for the bullpen, perhaps Andrew Chafin. They are lefty-less so that needs to be addressed. Tim Britton has been advocating for Ryan Tepera (RHP).

I guess they won't play 3 series against NL East teams, maybe 2, with the other games against AL teams. So instead of playing Atlanta, who they are battling for the division title, they will travel to Minnesota. Also:

I think that they are extending the season by 3 days which partly helps.

Hooray!

If they make the deal today and start the season on April 15 we can thank Jackie Robinson as not even the selfish, greedy, bastards that own MLB teams (I'm not talking about Steve Cohen) would want to suffer the embarrassment of locking out the players on the 75th Anniversary of Jackie Robinson's first game in MLB.

There will be less GKR in '22 (if/when): This means that for a number of games per season, local fans: 1) will only be able to watch their team on A+; 2) won't hear their local announcers; 3) will have to get A+ even if they subscribe to the local RSN; while MLB dilutes the value of http://mlb.tvhttp://mlb.tv for subs. -
My guess as to how and when it will be resolved: They'll crap around until March 31 which was supposed to be Opening Day and announce a new deal with the season to start in 3 weeks. They'll remove an off-day or two, play a few doubleheaders (split, because the owners are greedy), and the season will be 144 games with the players getting back most, but not all, of the 162 games per their contracts. They'll agree on the awful 14 team playoff plan which will make the owners very happy and in return, the players will get bigger playoff shares. The owners will be thrilled to rid themselves of most of those annoying April games and the players will be happy with whatever they get and then forget about how they got screwed, again. Manfred will get a raise and a bonus.

I've never heard of the band Coheed and Cambria but I'm sure that they are great! [bLOCKQUOTE]“This is just devastating. Opening Day is a holiday in my house. I've flown home — left the studio and flown home — for Opening Day,” said Josh Eppard, drummer for progressive rock band Coheed and Cambria and a lifelong Mets fan. “This was the year baseball was back. My Mets are making huge moves — I mean, [they signed] Max f---ing Scherzer! And now it's just — kerplunk. I just can't imagine they're going to do this to us after covid. “It's the perfect time for baseball to capture America after we've lifted the veil of covid, and they're shooting themselves in the foot. I'm gutted that now we're going to have a shortened season for the second time in three years. I can't help but feel as a fan that we're at the bottom of the pole here, that no one is thinking of the fans.” https://www.washingtonpost.com/sports/2022/03/06/covid-baseball-lockout/https://www.washingtonpost.com/sports/2022/03/06/covid-baseball-lockout/[/bLOCKQUOTE]

... I hope that the Mets can get him back someday. He's back!!! https://metsmerizedonline.com/2022/03/johneshwy-fargas-announces-return-to-mets.html/https://metsmerizedonline.com/2022/03/johneshwy-fargas-announces-return-to-mets.html/?

Sigh. I read that the MLBPA is considering putting the 14-team playoff plan back on the schedule. They agreed to 12 but MLB gets more $ ($100 million v. $85 million) for 14 than they do for 12. If the Players are going to agree to this they should get back a lot because it lowers the bar for a team to get into the playoffs so it disincentivizes the teams from signing players to big contracts ("we don't need to sign that big money FA, we'll win 82 games and you never know what will happen"). https://sny.tv/articles/how-a-14-team-mlb-playoff-would-workhttps://sny.tv/articles/how-a-14-team-mlb-playoff-would-work

23 of 30 is needed to ratify a deal so 8 can block a deal.
