    Good news: Peralta limited the damage to one run Bad news: He's nearing 100 pitches (OK, it's 27 or so but it's still a lot)
  2. Frayed Knot
    I suppose if I were hip (or Canadian) I'd know who Terrence and Phillip are. But I'm neither so I don't.

    My feed is saying 'Delayed'???? WTF? This better not have anything to do with Katy Perry!

    Mauricio during last night's game, not Lindor.
  5. Frayed Knot
    Had a rocky start to the season but has reverted to type since. He isn't had enough save opps but that's hardly his fault.

    Just once I'd like to hear the HP ump turn around and announce to the stadium: 'the batter/catcher is stupidly challenging the ball/strike call'.

    Gary stealing my shit again.

    Bo knows defense!

    If the Mets can sustain this shutout for the next two innings I believe they have an outside chance at winning this game.
  10. Frayed Knot
    Amazing how the Mets get the 'very best' of just about every pitcher every night.
  11. Frayed Knot
    So might not having an OPS with runners on that's not 270 points beneath his bases empty mark or a RiSP mark that's not 410 points below. Or, put another way, 42% of his PAs have been w/runners on but those yielded only 31% of his hits and 28% of his Total Bases
  12. Frayed Knot
    Mets are 7 for their last 65 with RiSP (8 games including tonight so far) for a .108 BA And considering how many 1-run games they've been involved in (last four losses for instance) even managing a lousy BA, like say .208 (13 or 14 hits instead of 7) might have won them two or three games just in this stretch alone. Sustaining a run like this should be nearly impossible but this team manages to invent as many ways to suppress scoring as FIFA referees do.

    Alvarez has 10 RBIs with his 9 HRs this season..
  14. Frayed Knot
    Nice play by Bo-Bo there to end the inning. That one could have gone pear-shaped in a hurry.

    1st & 2nd/no outs ... and then nothing leaves the infield [GO - K - K] Lather. Rinse. Repeat.

    Also just heard that for the first time. Went to Bucknell and was a 4th round pick from there. First eve ML'er and only the second in organized ball. The first was a guy who pitched briefly for the Phils' rookie league team in Florida before dying of a rare form of cancer at the age of 20. I just looked him up because he had the same last name as a friend of mine who I knew stayed in town but no relation as far as I can tell. Had never before heard of either guy.

    It's a baseball issue, one that you brought up. Discussing topics like this is what we do here!! And I'll end it here, but my point is that using a prospects list -- which, at best, is just a snapshot in time and one that had the Mets at or near the top of the entire league just months ago -- as a reason to bury Stearns is using a defective shovel. Then the idea that other teams consistently replace promoted/traded (or failed) prospects with new ones as fast as the old ones age out to dominate these types of lists year in and year out is simply not true.
  18. Frayed Knot
    Then you're succeeding. And whether you are done with Stearns or not doesn't matter, this isn't a defense of Stearns it's a defense of logic. The conclusion that the GM suxx because a snapshot of the moment doesn't have the team on top the prospect list right after using current prospects to fill 2/3 of their ML OF and 2/5 of the starting rotation, essentially all at once, ignores reality.
  19. Frayed Knot
    These lists are a snapshot in time but you're using it to claim,, what exactly?, that the teams with high numbers now dominate these rankings consistently? That must account for all of those Mariners WS titles er, appearances. And if Seattle promoted and/or traded five of their six they'd have five more pop up instantly? So the standard you're going for here is that it wasn't enough that the Mets had basically double their allotment on similar lists this past winter [6 of 100] but what they should have had, y'know, if only they had a competent GM/POBO, was something like 10 or 12 of the top 130 providing us with insta-replacements for each guy moved up. Good, cuz for a moment there I thought you were being unrealistic. btw, the "filling the list year after year" Yanx & Braves right now combine for seven total, more or less an average share though maybe not even that since five of those seven are in the back half of the list and only one in the top 30.
  20. Frayed Knot
    Which ones are those?
  21. Frayed Knot
    These lists ARE the elites of the moment! The Mets started 2026 with SIX players on many of these lists, about twice that as a typical team's share (100 players, 30 teams, do the math). And, btw, does Stearns get any credit for them of only the blame (for promoting them)? Now, when five of them reach the majors or go to other organizations (or both) between about February and May we're pissed off that no new elites have replaced them and it's nearly July already?!?! That's not how this usually works.
  22. Frayed Knot
    Yes, that's how it goes when you trade two top prospects and promote three others within a short span, it depletes the upper tier. Building prospects, especially top tier ones, takes time so more don't just automatically pop up to replace the taken ones like some gumball machine.
  23. Frayed Knot
    0-9 w/RiSP, 7 LOB 1 - 4 in their last five, all four losses by one run.
  24. Frayed Knot
    Major Damage from Vientos or GiDP ?? Or, 'C', None of the Above
  25. Frayed Knot
    I had my hand up for a more high leverage reliever in that spot. Andy Green 1 - Frayed Knot 0
