    If we keep insisting on getting these leadoff hitters on then we'll never frigging score

    =kcmets post_id=63441 time=1620432722 user_id=53] It's gonna be one of those nights when it takes an hour to get through two innings.

    We batted the topic of the decline and fall of Prince Albert around nearly four years ago -- http://phpbb3.leaptoad.com/mets/archives/26000/f1_t26006.shtmlhttp://phpbb3.leaptoad.com/mets/archives/26000/f1_t26006.shtml

They're very rare -- as they should be -- and much of the time they wind up DOA on the commish's desk because the manager was simply so pissed off about something that he vented by protesting the game over a judgement call that was never eligible for review in the first place. But I don't see the point in cutting off that avenue entirely. Do they think the players are going to be so against re-playing part of a game that they'd rather lose the game than make the extra effort it would require?

    =Centerfield post_id=63405 time=1620411948 user_id=65]There is nothing better in the world than playing catch. Adults should do this way more often.

    I think mound visits, and certainly the quantity of them, are part of the problem but, yeah, baseball is hardly alone in this area. Football and Basketball have at least as many breaks and whether the game stops when the manager goes on the field to meet the players or when the players walk off the field/court to go meet the coach is a distinction without a difference IMO. There are simply too many time outs in American sports. Soccer get it right here. Strategy discussions are for pre-game, for half-time, for practice time. More responsibility should remain with the players to make decisions on their own.

    One more note on l'affaire de LaRussa: I hate that the rule exempts pitchers from having the serve as the designated runner. They're part of the team, take them out of bubble-wrap.
  13. Frayed Knot
    Gary mentioned that LaRussa goof during the mess in game 1 yesterday. =DocTee post_id=63242 time=1620302665 user_id=85] I always thought a passed ball WAS an error-- not that it would have mattered here, as the official scorer charged a Wild Pitch.
  14. Frayed Knot
    Undefeated with Lindor on the bench.
  15. Frayed Knot
    Right now, with the Mets threatening for more and no one warming in the pen, it looks like Gsellman. (answering Fman)
  16. Frayed Knot
    And after one batter faced the Cards decide they need a mound conference !!
  17. Frayed Knot
    Have we got anyone named Riff on the squad to take care of this Bernado guy the Cards just brought in?
  18. Frayed Knot
    =Fman99 post_id=63214 time=1620268989 user_id=86] Who's closing tonight ? I'm hoping for 87 insurance runs.
  19. Frayed Knot
    Did they neglect to discuss Carpenter prior to the game so now need a mid-inning committee meeting?
  20. Frayed Knot
    Phils win, Marlins win, Braves win, Nats lose (to the Braves)

    Oh good, another mound conference. And now another.
  23. Frayed Knot
    One thing's fer sure. Nimmo ain't cutting down that run.
  24. Frayed Knot
    The 2021 Mets: we score on errors, wild pitches, and bases-loaded HBPs (and apparently 2R/2-out HRs as well)
  25. Frayed Knot
    This continued streak of ineptness is simply stunning.
