    So it's Alonso, Vogelbach, and probably Alvarez for Locastro. I'd feel better about that trio if either Alonso or Alvarez had a hit in the last three weeks.

    Well this isn't looking good.

    That's former NYM 2nd round (2001) draft pick Corey Ragsdale coaching 1st base for Texas. He never reached the majors but finished up his minor lg career in the Texas system (2008-09) so I guess he's been with them since.

    Trea Turner is waking up for Philly and has 2 HRs tonight as the Phightins lead LAA 5-3 The Phils, I'm shocked to learn, have out-HR'd the Braves for the month of August. I didn't think anyone was out-HR'ing the Braves even for a short span.

    Good, but somewhat odd opening innings for Megill: his out have either been loud at'em balls or (mostly looking) Ks.
  6. Frayed Knot
    Vogelbach currently owns a higher BA than Pete for the season

    Dodger RHP Tony Gonsolin to undergo TJS At the rate their pitching is going under knife, They might look to take Syndergaard back.
  8. Frayed Knot
    Normally you could say that he'd be a September call-up, but call-ups are now limited to two these days (28 man roster cap) and one you figure to be Lucchesi and the other likely a bat(y?).

The US Open starts today, next door to where the Mets will be playing. They can't all be gems. I thought of that but wasn't sure.

    I didn't get around to not getting the Cordell Walker reference (never watched the show) cuz I was too busy not getting the 'tennis, anyone'' reference. The Ranger [CROSSOUT]are[/CROSSOUT] were a good team. They lead the AL in runs scored (behind only ATL & LAD) and [CROSSOUT]are[/CROSSOUT] were in 1st place in the ALW for 111 straight days ... and then the last ten games happened. They lost eight straight and nine of ten and because of that stretch the season long race between Houston & Texas has been tilted towards ... Seattle! We're likely to not see Scherzer and I have it on good authority that we won't see deGrom either. But we will see Travis Jankowski who's getting only his third season of semi-regular playing time (266 PAs) and is putting up the best offensive numbers of his career. Now I grant you that his 97 OPS+ is a low bar to call 'best', but his college education was low bar too ... amirite folks? Ahh Stonybrook jokes, they just never get old.

    So I see ... actually I don't see since I don't get Peacock, but I Figuratively see that we retired Ohtani in the 1st (on a line out). I also don't see that we got the leadoff man on (Nimmo BB) and then the 2-3-4 hitters all failed to get a ball out of the infield [PO, Foul PO, K] iow, just because we can't see something doesn't mean we can't know that it's the exact same thing as what we've previously seen over and over again.

    They don't even pretend to compete.
  13. Frayed Knot
    Two men on, one out: K, FO 1/10 w/RiSP, 8 LOB

    Don't take Rengifo if you're allergic to Rengifo

    The Mets haven't scored two runs tonight they were handed two runs. Moving runners the usual way (like with those hit things that other teams get) isn't part of their plan apparently.
  17. Frayed Knot
    It's the idea that some players are so special to a particular team -- or, in the case of Jackie, to MLB itself -- that the team decides that his number should be associated with only him after he retires. It's a nice honor but it should be rare (IMO of course). But what's happened, in recent years especially, is that teams have opted for the 'more is better' philosophy driven, at least to some degree, by a desire not to have fewer numbers on your wall than other teams have on theirs. There should be a way to honor players (ok Hall of Fame is good) without taking numbers out of circulation. Exactly. The team HoF (Ring of Honor, whatever) is there to honor past stars. By plucking those from the team HoF roster, particularly when it's for the sole purpose of beefing up the slate of retired numbers, you wind up cheapening both.
  18. Frayed Knot
    This team is basically embarrassing itself on almost a daily basis and that the Angels subsequently messed the play that the Mets initially fucked up doesn't make that go away.
  19. Frayed Knot
    Considering that the Mets have scored a total of three runs in the last three games plus (and so far tonight have hit one fair ball thru five batters) overcoming a five run deficit doesn't sound like a good bet.
  20. Frayed Knot
    [Oprah]And YOU get an extra base hit, and YOU get an extra base hit, and YOU get ...[/Oprah]

    Saying HoF status, 'or something close to it', is merely meant to say that I want an elite level player rather than merely a good one before deciding that no one else can ever soil that uniform #. I'd have less problem with Keith or Beltran, even though less than HoF, had they also not been short of 45% of PAs as a Met (Keith) or 35% (Carlos) and won their MVPs and performed WS heroics elsewhere, while Carter's actual HoF inclusion isn't enough to make up for his barely 25% of time as a Met. These are guidelines, not absolutes. But it also means that longtime Mets -- Kooz, Grote, Mookie, Krane, Reyes, etc. -- sometimes touted here and elsewhere wouldn't be on my list either because of their lack of elite status..
  22. Frayed Knot
    answering GWreck here Yes, Beltran is better than those I lumped him with, I was pretty much throwing out names I've heard thrown out here (Ceetar was a big 'Retire Beltran Yesterday!' proponent) and elsewhere. I wouldn't retire Beltran but I wouldn't have done Piazza either and this is certainly part of what gets opened up once they went the Piazza route where it's decided that the NYM HoF isn't enough for <50% NYM careers who are better known, or at least AS well known, for what they did elsewhere, Not as bad as five-season Reggie in the Bronx but at least he is HoF. The overall issue for me is that Cohen has obviously decided that more retired numbers = better so rather than keep it for elite status only he's back-filling with fan favorites who had a handful of elite (or even just very good) seasons with the team while also continuing the mothballing of others (5, 7, 8, 48) for future use. When this new one(s) every year pace is through will the stadium be big enough to hold them all?

    Does DJ Stewart ever Not swing for the fences?
  25. Frayed Knot
    Say good night Gracie. We simply don't do two run innings these days. Too often, we don't do two run games
