    Bo is, btw, his full first name. Bo Joseph Bichette. He also shares a birthday with Edgy. He turned 28 three days ago and Edgy turned 28 somewhere around three decades ago, but still the same day.

    BO KNOWS BASEBALL AND NOW HE'S A MET YANX DRAFTED BIG BROTHER BUT WE HAVE THE BETTER BICHETTE BURMA SHAVE

    And it's only his second game of the spring!

    Tuning back here in top 7, Jonathan Pintaro on to pitch: K, K, 2B, PO-3 Mets 7 - Yanx 4

    Carl Edwards having a rough inning in relief: 2/3 inning, 2 runs, 2 singles, 2 walks, 25 pitches

    6-3 after 3 Mets scored their first three runs in the 2nd: Alvarez - 1B Baty - FO Taylor - BB Benge - RBI IF 1B Brujan - BB Ewing - 2 RBI 1B, then steals 2B Semien - LO 6 Polanco - LO 9 Freddie Peralta pitched the first three: 2 R, 3 H, 1 BB, 4 K. Retired 7 of his final 8

    B-2-B RBI 2Bs by B. Baty & T. Taylor off Ryan 'Stormy' (son of David) Weathers puts the Mets up 5-2 in the bottom of the 3rd Didn't see anything prior to this. Now Benge & Brujan tack on B-2-B singles and it's 6-3 with runners on the corners and still just one out.

    I assumed he was untouchable.

    So Aussies fight back with two two-out 9th inning solo HRs ... and lose 4-3 Japan wins their group and the second slot will go to the winner of the Australia/Korea game tomorrow.
  10. Frayed Knot
    And now it's 4-1 Japan with the bases loaded and one out in bottom 8th. Six Aussie hurlers have allowed just five hits but also 12 walks!!

    Down 3-1 w/two outs in the 9th and a runner on 1st, Netherlands hits a routine grounder towards 3rd ... but it doinks off the base and over the head of the 3B-man for a double. Next up Ozzie Albies: 3R Walk-off! Netherlands 4 - Nicaragua 3 That was last night. This morning (or whatever time/day it currently is in Tokyo) the Aussies are up 1-0 against host Japan in bottom 7th. Japan has already secured a pass into the next round but they Shirley don't want to lose in front of the home folks and this does matter much to the folks down under. And as I'm typing, Australia fails to turn a 3-6-1 inning-ending GiDP (clanked off the pitcher's glove) and Japan immediately follows with a 2R HR. 2-1 Japan, heading to the 8th.

    WITH A MEGAWATT SMILE HIS Q-RATING IS GREAT BUT HOW WILL HE FARE WITH A DAMAGED HAMATE BURMA SHAVE
  13. Frayed Knot
    Clay Holmes with two scoreless innings including FIVE Ks UK still leading 1-0 vs US Meanwhile, down in San Juan, PR, Panama is on the verge of an upset of Puerto Rico Leading 2-1 with one out in the bottom of the 9th

    The same week Edwin Diaz was famously injured while celebrating during the WBC, Rhys Hoskins of the (then) Phils was injured in a non-contact play while attempting to field a grounder and, like Diaz, missed the entire season. The idea that those participating in the WBC are more likely to get injured appears to be nothing more than a case of pre-confirmation bias.

    Tarik Skubal = 1st pitch of the game HR to Great Britain (to a guy I think who was a Newcastle coal miner until few months ago).
  16. Frayed Knot
    HIS HIGH ON-BASE RATE IS A RUN GOLD MINE BUT WILL IT STILL BE THUS IN TWENTY THIRTY-NINE BURMA SHAVE
  17. Frayed Knot
    Japan, today, run-ruled Taipei 13-0 in 7 innings (10 runs in the 2nd, 3 in the 3rd) Single, double, and GS and 5 RBI for Ohtani in the first two innings alone. Meanwhile, play gets going tonight on this side of the Pacific with - Puerto Rico v Colombia (FS1) currently 4-0 PR in the 5th. Game at Hiram Bithorn stadium in San Juan P.R. - USA v Brazil (FOX - 8 PM) in Houston at (apparently it's being called Daikin Park this week) - Nicaragua v Dominican Republic (FS2) from Miami, just underway. - earlier today Venezuela beat Netherlands 6-2

    Wasn't lowering his arm slot supposedly the trick that made him good?

    Not being from New York you'd obviously associate Grand Central with the train terminal rather than the parkway. But while the terminal is certainly more famous, the parkway is more Mets-ian.

    If the U.S. doesn't win then Trump is going to slap a punitive tariff on the country which does.

    Fine by me, the more options the better*. And if we get several more suggestions then maybe two rounds of voting will be needed; first to get down to the two (three?) most popular and then have them face off to determine the winner. * ... as long as none of them are done by me. You've heard of interior designers? Well I'm an inferior designer.
  22. Frayed Knot
    NOW I think we're into poll territory. I'd be in favor of taking the three logos on this page* and putting them into a poll-arized thread for voting. Stick a time limit on it (end of the week?) and crown the winner. Objections? * OK, the previous page since my post just kicked over the odometer.

    Part-time PHI OF Johan Rojas is the latest contestant in the 'step right up and collect your PED suspension' game. This would be the first violation for Rojas so, unlike Profar in Atlanta, it's only an 80-game ding/post-season ban for him. A Philly since 2023, Rojas started 40, 103, and 46 games in CF over the past three seasons plus saw action in 15-20 G/yr as a late inning defensive replacement. Reports say he is appealing although I don't find him to be so.

    Except we're NOT trying to avoid 'Mets'. As stated in the opening post in this thread, the idea is to contain 'Mets' as a stand-alone term in one form or another for the purpose of making it easier for NYM fans to find. You may recall that one of the reasons for naming this place Crane Pool, with that spelling, was that we were trying not to be found specifically by those we had just escaped from*. One of our earlier descriptions of the place was that we were a bird watching forum with a baseball problem. * And it worked ... for a while anyway. And then a flame war ensued.

    Good thing Yan racked up a couple of Ks because he's a bit shy on F's
