I like Mazeika's bat and his approach, but I found Reid-Foley's presence to be a meaningfully more useful asset than Maz was. But I understand the guys with options tend to go first. They're still going to have to bump somebody off the 40 in the next few hours.

Not to knock Red Foley, but that's some kind of forced lede.

My experience is that runners mostly know whether they're safe or out, probably more than anybody else on the field.

Well, deGrom sure knew he was out. But what is and isn't cheating vs. a guy who sincerely thinks he's safe is another issue. They may be trying to get away with deceit or they may be merely trying to get away with risk, but the issue before us is safe vs. out, regardless of motive.

The Mets are rained out? Brooklyn ad Binghamton too? The short season leagues haven't yet started their schedule? What a great opportunity to improve the likelihood of an organizational sweep. And our friends in Syracuse and St. Lucie answered opportunities invitation in very different manners, with AAA Mets shutting down Rochester 1-0, and their little brothers in A-ball blasting the Daytona Torgugas 15-3. In Rochester, the Mets enjoyed a combined four-hitter served up through the arms of Jerad Eickoff (three hits in six innings) and Corey Oswalt (one hit in three innings). Eickhoff improves to 4-0 which is something considering that (a) his team is only 8-16, and ( his win total would tie him for the lead on the New York Mets, who started a month earlier and have won 17 more games. Their lone RBI came off of the bat of catcher Nick Meyer, who has surprising weedled his way into the #1 role since Deivy Grullon ate it on the waiver wire. St. Lucie's explosion of offense was more than business as usual, but it was the team's best farm club doing what they do best. Amazingly, though, the team's 15 runs came on only six hits, which were blessedly augmented by (sit down for this) 18 Daytona walks, including five in only one inning by Daytona pitcher Juan Abril. Could you imagine how long a day it would have been if Daytona had been the home team? Number nine hitter Ranfy Adon went 0-1, but walked four times, scoring twice and driving in one.

The new rules came about because MLB was embarrassed that its old rules, under which Utley should have been ejected, weren't being enforced. That wasn't the Mets' fault, any more than MLB overthinking how to keep catchers from getting run over was Buster Posey and the Giants' fault. MFS62 mentioned Bill Klem. I bet Klem made a ton of bad calls, and I'm glad there are probably a lot fewer umpiring mistakes than there used to be. But I'm sympathetic to the idea of someone like Klem who makes the decision, it's done (though you can bitch about it if it makes you feel better), and let's get on with it. But we'll never be there again. They didn't need to change the rules to protect Tejada. They needed to enforce the rules they had, which is what they need to do here. And yes, entering the World Series with Wilmer Torres as your starting shortstop and a guy who had never played a single day in the Majors as his backup sure seemed like getting caught with their pants down, but I understand the distinction.

I don't think so. It's only a matter of degrees. I gave up a degree of control in order to beat a throw and I paid the price, so did Villar. deGrom gave up a degree of control in order to gain an advantage in potentially advancing further. Burned. The safest way to beat a tag is frequently to slide in like a demon, contorting your limbs and torso to avoid the tag but find the base, not worrying a whit about whether you can maintain possession of that base until you've initially made contact. The safest way to maintain control of the bag is to jog in and come to a stop, not worry a whit about a tag coming in and getting you. You've got to both get in there and stay safe after, and maybe even get an advantage toward continuing on after you get in there if the opportunity arises, and the way to do all of this is to find the best compromise between those two extremes. Commit too much to reaching the bag and you risk losing it. Commit too much to maintaining it and your risk never gaining it in the first place. That's baseball. And you want to play it better than the other team. For one day, at least in that category, the Mets did not. Thankfully, they won anyway. Next time, if they do it better and do it right, it may win them a game.

I think there's a purpose to coming off the bag for a fraction of a second, even if it's not intentional. Your purpose has always been above all else to touch the bag before the throw. In order to gain that achievement, you're frequently willing to slide in a manner that risks you not maintaining contact. I got caught in a rundown between third and home once and I felt like the kind of the world when I slid back into third and eluded the tag with a hook slide. I then felt like the douchiest of douchebags when I couldn't create enough slowing friction and maintain a strong enough kung-fu grip in order hold on to the bag and my awesome hook slide took me a few inches past the bag, and Scott Pastor tagged me out and there was no disputing he had me. Getting in there was half the battle, and I was so desperate to do that, that I sacrificed my capacities for the second half of the battle — hanging in there. I lost. I didn't intend to do that, but I risked it, and I lost. Pastor and catcher Danny LaJoie won. I took my team out of a bases-loaded, no-out situation. To his credit, Danny gave me no shit on Monday day at school. Similarly, there's an advantage to a popup slide. You place yourself instantly in a position to see if the ball trickles away and to take off it does. Going for that advantage came with a risk if your bounce up becomes too buoyant, as it does. Frankly, I have a problem with the fact that the rule book has been re-written a couple of times now to deal with situations when the Mets got caught with their pants down. When they seemingly got caught without a starter in the 2006 post season because they burned a starter in a game that was rained out, MLB changed an age-old — and good — rule that forbade teams making roster changes in the middle of a playoff series. That stunk, and now it's abused all the time. Meanwhile, the rule didn't need to be changed. The Mets just needed to overcome the situation — which, excitingly they actually did that year when Oliver Perez stepped into the breach. Similarly, the takedown of Ruben Tejada by Chase Utley created all sorts of new sliding rules that we still are trying to consistently interpret. The third one I'm thinking of, I think, is the 10-Day IL — largely triggered (unless I'm misremembering) by the Mets' inability to manage the 15-day window. The Mets found themselves in an embarrassing situation last week. But the rule don't need to be more granularly written to protect them? I mean, when has this ever happened before, twice in one game, even in the age of replay review. What they need to do is slide better than other teams, just like they need to hit and run and throw and pitch and catch better than other teams. I don't want the rule book re-written because Jay Bruce had trouble beating the shift or because Jonathan Villar had trouble holding on to the bag. I want Bruce and Villar to up their game. And sliding is totally part of the game. It's a defining and beautiful part of the game. And guys who do it badly shouldn't be protected from their failures by a rule change. They should be out. At least, they should be out more frequently than guys who do it well.

Double-headers used to be punishment, because they meant games compacted into the schedule, with pitchers having to return to action without having recovery time. But now, every double-header means 22.2% fewer innings your staff needs to cover, and that advantage should at least somewhat ameliorate the downside.

Mets Roster Central will be keeping a vigil. The human in me is rooting for Cameron Maybin. To be honest, the Met fan in me still thinks that he has a better chance of helping this year than Lee does. Wishful thinking'll mess you up. That said, somebody is going have be removed from the 40, and any Maybin demotion will have to include exactly that. Most of the guys at Met Roster Central have their money on Tovar hitting the waiver wire, though.

Walt Williams is definitely Mason's great uncle. Mason's dad, as mentioned earlier this season in another thread, was (and, in a sense, still is) NFL wide receiver Derwin Williams. Walt was Derwin's uncle.

Until Mason Williams becomes a Met officially, we've got a little more catching up to do as we get near the bottom of the list of those unceremoniously thrown overboard.
