    Not to throw cold water on an otherwise tidy win, but the Mets run production with the bases loaded (or even with just two runners on) continues to be almost comically bad, except it's usually not so funny. In the big 5th inning, starting with no outs, six Mets came up with the bases loaded in a seven batter span. The results were: K (Alonso) Sac Fly (Winker) ... HBP (Taylor) Walk (McNeil) E6 (Alvarez) K (Lindor) So that's six plate appearances, no hits, two Ks, and just one ball (but not a hit) left the infield. And the gap in that seven hitter span was a (mis-played) infield single by JDM to re-load the bases so that one didn't leave the infield either. Fortunately they got all their hitting in prior to loading the bases and that the lone hit in the subsequent sequence was followed by our long-time favorite sacks-loaded weapons, the HBP & BB, or else that big inning would have wound up a considerably smaller inning and quite possibly a different game outcome.

    The Snakes are 17-5 in August, were 17-8 in July, and 16-11 in June, so 50 - 24 since the end of May totally blows away their sub-.500 start (25-32) I wonder if their board had a 'SELL EVERYONE' thread going around that time? They're scoring the most runs in the NL and it's not particularly close, 5.35 RS/G a full 0.4 R/G ahead of the team in 2nd (Dodgers) and 0.59 ahead of us (5th) Part of that is home field related so as their OPS also tops the NL their OPS+, which brings home field into play, sees them slip slightly behind LAD And then throw in that they're currently missing a few bangers: - Ketel Marte has been their best bat all year but we won't see his 930 OPS this week. - a bit of an off year for 1B Christian Walker but still decent and I believe his career OPS vs the Mets is around 6,000. Either way, he's out too. Their pitching overall is below average although that's somewhat HF influenced too. 4th most RA/G (4.65) and a 93 ERA+ [Mets = 4.53 / 96]

    Phils won in the 10th Yanx won Padres are leading 7-2 in the 6th Atlanta was up 9-1 in the 2nd when the rain hit, so they'll likely win that one eventually Cubs up big on Pitt (15-6) So not a great night as things are shaping up.

    I had read about the possibility of that a week or two ago, but I forgot to check up on it. Timeline: June 26: Jansen was at the plate with an 0-1 count in the 2nd inning of a game against the Red Sox when rain hit and the game eventually suspended June 27: Traded to the Red Sox for prospects Today: The June 26 game was picked up where it left off so the Jays had to send up a pinch-hitter for the continuation of Jansen's AB In the bottom half of the inning the Red Sox inserted Jansen into the game batting 7th which made him up third in the 2nd inning, so he winds up not just playing for both teams in the same game but coming to the plate in both the top and bottom half of the same inning!!

    Series of note as we start the week with a day off: - Philles host the Astros - Braves in Minnesota - Sandy Egg @ StL - Cubs @ Pirates - Yanx in Washington D of C And not starting until tomorrow: SFG @ MIL Orioles at Dodgers

It's what the players call him so G & R are likely picking it up from them. Probably would be better if they sounded a little more detached, but it's more or less harmless. =metirish post_id=167634 time=1724674089 user_id=72] It seems we have been complaining about bullpen management for years

    Well, my point was that I don't really see a lot of blame for the field manager here. Me either, but I was trying to figure out where this thread was going. I mean, are we jumping on the manager because we lost today via a walk-off in a week where we twice won by walk-offs? For losing "winnable games" like when we got out-scored 22-1 in a series vs Seattle? Or for going 1-for-106 w/RiSP (or something like it) seemingly every week?
  9. Frayed Knot
    And yet this is a thread about the field manager.

    The entire month of May was unacceptable too. Are we proposing a solution to this?
  11. Frayed Knot
    What's the beef with him today? - going to Butto, the guy we want to put into the rotation? - that he went to Diaz too early, too late, or that he went to him at all? I do know he would have been a lot smarter today if the Mets had more than one hit (Viento's HR) after the 4th inning.

    Big difference between a 3-1 series win and a 2-2 series split. Also went from a potential 5-2 vs BAL & SDP to 4-3
  13. Frayed Knot
    Bad Butto! Bad.

    WOW!!! And did Machado even leave 3B all though that second tag episode? We'd have to see another camera angle.

    I don't even need to comment about this latest escapade by Machado, do I?

    In double-ex-NYM news, the Yanx DFA Michael Tonkin in order to call-up Phil Bickford

    Nice, efficient game so far for Joey Q

    =G-Fafif post_id=167537 time=1724620341 user_id=55] White Sox fall to 31-100 today.

    Like the way this inning developed especially after starting two-out/none-on. Be a shame to let it go to waste.

    Sports memorabilia is a weird business. There's nothing tangible that made that jersey explode 160-fold (150K to $24M) and there's no guarantee that it won't reverse course the other way. It's all entirely based on what people think it might be worth down the road mixed with a healthy dose of ego-boost in bidding that high to begin with.
