    If the Orioles cash in their chips on Harv, I've got to think his next stop is Scranton/Wilkes-Barre.

    Billy may be a fool with his life, but he's gettin' it done.

    I'm watching on the radio. Did Alonso running open up a spot for the hit? Howie won't shut up about how sad it is to watch Harvey. I think it's a good thing just to see him getting MLB innings. Baseball is hard.

    I'll take your word for it with regard to stories, but it appears not to have been a measurable negative factor at all. Albert Belle's was another case entirely.

    It's not so much that Lindor is swinging the bat better, althought that's more or less true. It's that he's not chasing curves in the dirt. Unfortunately, he just chased a high fastball for strike three.

    Howie has nothing charitable to say about Matt Harvey.

    Eddie Murray had over 3,000 hits and over 500 homeruns. He had three Gold Gloves, three Silver Sluggers, and was elected to the Hall of Fame on his first ballot with over 85% of the vote. I'm not sure how we got to him.

    Unfortunately, the announcer awards are far more a product of longevity and brand than some source of objective quality. =metsmarathon post_id=54936 time=1611776958 user_id=83] i really wish the voters would elect a guy based primarily on his character, to show that it really is a meaningful criteria, and not simply a convenient escape clause.

    Also, that alien, war-painted simian in your avatar would have been unheard of pre '00. Scary.

    A latter-day practice — possibly begun by Craig Biggio, but vastly inculturated by the Red Sox — of putting pine tar on the helmet, so if you need some quickly during your at-bat, you can just go to your helmet. I think Biggio initially just gunked up his helmet by constantly adjusting it during his plate appearances while handling his bat, but it became a thing to transfer pine tar in the opposite direction. There's buzz out there that MLB may soon be cracking down on this, as well, but it feels like it's been going on for a while now.

    Not for nothing, but isn't this a the sort of substance that you apply to the ball (like a spitter) to change it's balance and wind resistance. It's something you apply to your hand to improve your grip. That, to me, means it works best dry, and would be best applied in the clubhouse before the start and between innings — rather than through surreptitious, sight-of-hand work out there on the mound, before God and everybody. It presumably needs a few minutes to absorb the oils and sweat on your hand and turn it into the monkey wrench grip machine that you want. It seems like something that would get pretty cruddy pretty fast inside your belt or under your bill. It supposedly takes a blast of WD-40 to get it off of you.

    I'm convinced!

    It sounds real nice, but I never done seen one. Even at Camden. Somebody should remind these Mets that these are the O's pitching to them.
  14. Edgy MD
    Drives me crazy in these games to see guys swinging for the fencies.

    Howie is losing his memory live on the air right now.

    HEY! NEW YORK CITY IS DOING RANKED-CHOICE PRIMARY VOTING THIS YEAR!

    Three! Three hits! Alonso up!

    I'm starting to come around to the magic-runner-on-second thing. I mean, if the Orioles are going to keep hitting doubles, you might as well save your pitches. Hey, Maikel Franco, clubbing the Mets like he used to!

    Howie, expansion doesn't really dilute talent as it happens more slowly than the expansion of the available player pool.
  25. Edgy MD
    Zimmermann seems to have gone electric.
