    Janie Reed won a Silver Medal on the 2021 USA Olympic Softball Team and made a great catch in LF: https://www.oklahoman.com/story/sports/2021/07/25/olympics-2021-janie-and-jake-reed-share-marriage-mlb-team-usa-softball/8087336002/https://www.oklahoman.com/story/sports/2021/07/25/olympics-2021-janie-and-jake-reed-share-marriage-mlb-team-usa-softball/8087336002/

    A player doesn't have to submit to a pre-draft medical exam unless he wants to and if he does and is drafted the team that picks him must offer at least 40% of the slot value (even if they don't want to). Rocker did not consent so the Mets did not have all of the information pre-draft that they did post-draft. I suspect that Steve Cohen will only want to "invest" in players that allow for a pre-draft exam.

    [bLOCKQUOTE]“The Mets made no offer, ever,” following the physical, a source said. The reasons for that might be speculated on elsewhere. They won't be here. Suffice to say that what has been rumored is either incomplete or inaccurate.[/bLOCKQUOTE] https://sny.tv/articles/sources-mets-kumar-rocker-deal-did-not-fall-apart-over-moneyhttps://sny.tv/articles/sources-mets-kumar-rocker-deal-did-not-fall-apart-over-money

    I'd like to know if the Mets drastically lowered their offer based on his medicals or if they withdrew their offer and closed the door. If they offered him 50 cents on the dollar and Boras declined that's his decision as Rocker is out of baseball and any $ for a year. Rocker didn't submit an MRI before the draft so the Mets drafted him based on what they knew which was not everything. I hope that the Mets are wrong and that Rocker is healthy but before everyone gets all "LOL Mets" we should consider that there is a scenario (which the Mets might not be able to talk about) where they were shocked at what they saw. Good information (at least to me) about the draft process here: https://www.mlb.com/mets/news/kumar-rocker-does-not-sign-with-metshttps://www.mlb.com/mets/news/kumar-rocker-does-not-sign-with-mets

    Maybe he'll turn out like Brady Aiken. Maybe the extra pick they get next year (at 11) will turn into a star. But for now, this is a disaster. From Scott Boras:
  6. bmfc1
    Possibly the worst game of the season (if not, I've blocked out the others).
  7. bmfc1
    Perhaps the Mets should have found a way to get another bullpen arm rather than having to use Banda for a 2d inning (turned a close game into a blowout) and Hartlieb (same).

    “Schrock,” of course, is the syndicated, edited-for-time version of “Schoolhouse Rock”. It means: "Five for five".

    Stroman wouldn't have walked the opposition pitcher but Luis had to get involved and bring in his favorite reliever.

    Today is the deadline to sign your draft picks and Jeff Passan says that as of now the Mets will NOT sign Rocker. I'll ass-ume that they checked his medicals so did they do a bad job? Did Boras try to hide something? The rest of the draft was based on picking Rocker with the knowledge that they had to pay above-slot for him which means that they drafted down elsewhere to get players below-slot. Theoretically, this means that they got worse players than they could have gotten because of the Rocker pick. If that's true, it hurts the farm system and we heard that the Mets had trouble making more trades this week because they didn't have enough second-level players to deal.

    Reporting for Drury Duty!

    When a Met swings at a pitch 6 inches out of the strike zone: how can he swing at that crap? When an opposing hitter swings at a pitch 6 inches out of the strike zone: that's great pitching!

    It wasn't Frazier against Doolittle but close.
  15. bmfc1
    This asshole hasn't thrown a strike but Baez and McCann gave him help.
  16. bmfc1
    It should be tied but Baez brings them close. Awful job by whoever is directing the game for SNY, with a lingering shot of the Apple (who cares, we've seen it) and then showing a replay of Lindor exulting while Baez was taking a curtain call.

    Waive Villar. Idiot.

    Deesha wrote that they wanted Dom and Mauricio. I'd love to know the truth b/c Maeda would have been a good fit.
  19. bmfc1
    We got the black unis! We got the guy we wanted! The fans are excited! The owner loves us! Let's play like shit.
  20. bmfc1
    A run in, bases loaded, no one out... and everything has been crap since then.
  21. bmfc1
    You can take the Mets out of the white uniforms but you can't take the DPs out of the Mets.

    1B Pete 2B Baez SS Lindor 3B McNeil Wow.

    Stroman likes Trevor Williams:

    We got the guy responsible for making that Pirates 1B look like a dope.

    The only negative I can think of with PCA is that with this year's injury in 2022 he won't have played regularly for 2 years.
