Szapucki also.

=Fman99 post_id=65677 time=1622122542 user_id=86]Once I'm two beers in and the lineup changes start happening I lose interest.

I hadn't known Jerry Morales had been originally signed by the Mets — lost to the Padres in the 1968 Expansion Draft. Hmmm. What was the "High Court ruling" that was going to put a "damper on hustle"? That sounds serious!

Dick Young wrote: It's a good deal. Any time you can trade a starting pitcher for an everyday player, it's a good deal. Dick Young, still trying to carry water to justify a trade made a year and a half earlier.

Not noted above but within a half hour of MLB's announcement came a subsequent announcement from the Angels that Mickey had been let go.

Yeah, there's something that's changed about me this last year or so — where I'm no longer believing the simplest explanation is the likeliest, but I'm instead gravitating toward the wackiest. Out loud. RICHARD PRYOR FAKED THE MOON LANDING!

Would I be right to infer that Callaway has subsequently committed a new infraction during his suspension, or that further investigation has turned up an uglier past? Or, most simply, that he's being punished for what is already known, but we've just now reached a point where we've confirmed it all with full confidence? If we've got a increased penalty but no information on what triggered it, it's going to come out one way or another, probably quite soon. My total out-of-my-ass guess is that they cannot announce more because there are possible charges being weighed against him and perhaps others. And then my mind does this weird jump from Mickey to Don Jr. to Matt Gaetz. That's crazy, right?

Look at all that red ink. Only three guys on the 40 that aren't in the big leagues.

Quint was part of a haul of Venezuelan teenagers brought into the system in mid-January. Probably as young as any guy in their system. I imagine the Brews were scouting him down there as well, as they, like the Mets, have a big net in The Bolivarian Republic of Venezuela.

Such is the stuff of GM-ing — figuring out the best of a lot of bad options.

I figgered that train had fled the station since while Milwaukee was releasing him, they were claiming Hager and trading us McKinney.

They've expanded the size of the bases as an "experimental" rule throughout the affiliated minors. It's not in the majors yet, but since it's at every level of the affiliated minors, I've got to expect that it is highly unlikely to not appear universally in 2022.

I've never been in agreement with the idea that expansion hurts pitching more than hitting. Teams are carrying as many as 15 pitchers. Top starters are being pulled after five or six innings, despite pitching effectively. Lesser starters come out after four or five, despite pitching effectively. Yet scoring is falling precipitously. When is this dilution going to be felt?

Yeah, what I didn't include when I posted this at two AM is that room is created for him on the 40 not by anybody being DFA'd or released, but by Jordan Yamamoto being moved to the 60-Day IL.

Frayed Knot wrote: 1) that if they do away with the 'call from upstairs' step they fear that the home team would gain an advantage via some sort of signaling system which the road team wouldn't have access to. I weigh that fear to be of less import than the actually deleterious effect of the call from upstairs. Make the decision on the field. If somebody is standing there looking for signals from the sky, then they're going to look pretty stupid. Beyond that, I could be wrong, but if those two baserunners who screwed up last night were Rockies baserunners, and the Mets protested, but didn't get the calls because the players were technically out but at too nitpicky a level, we'd have trouble thinking of that as a fair and just outcome. We can re-engineer the game, again, or we can teach players to hold the bag better.

The Mets have acquired outfielder Billy McKinney from the Milwaukee Brewers in exchange for minor league lefthander Pedro Quintana, a 17-year-old Venezuelan who hadn't yet made his debut. McKinney, who has also played for the Yankees and Blue Jays, has had some (very) modest success in his three-plus-year career as a reserve outfielder, playing left, right, and a little first. He has hit .207 / .260 / .359 / .619 this year which, you know, doesn't have to look as awful as all of that if you hold it up next Maybin and Lee's numbers. He's gone .270 / .350 / .433 // .783 as a minor leaguer, bats and throws lefthanded, plays a little first. He was a 2013 first round pick for Oakland, starting off in center, but (clearly) has bounced around a bit. He supposedly has a really pretty swing, and he has three homers in 92 at-bats, so the Mets may be hoping to see untapped power potential. https://img1.daumcdn.net/thumb/R720x0.q80/?scode=mtistory2&fname=http%3A%2F%2Fcfile3.uf.tistory.com%2Fimage%2F995F9D455B7D0B1D191318> I love this plan. I'm excited to be a part of it. Let's do it!

The Rox escape by striking out Nido on a pitch out of the strike zone. Diaz pays them back by striking out McMahon on a pitch out of the strike zone.

The Mets have a Yenssy and the Rox have a Yency. Lee, meanwhile, is clearly Superman, and major league curveballs are his kryptonite.

Maybin denied for the time being!

I've never made this observation publicly, but José Peraza's beard looks like something he glued on to get out of town with the cops watching the airports, train stations, and bus depots.

How long will the director be cutting to Pillar every time a batter has to avoid a pitch?

Randy Tate's crown, though, feels safe.

Ron is suggesting the break-even point in stealing is 80%. It's usually cited as 75%, but I think it should be treated more like 67%. I think we've overthought that.

That rail on the M&M porch is so stupid and needs to be moved back two feet. Beyond that, it would have been nice to hear the announcers stay with the play, because if that wasn't called a homer, I have no idea if Smith was out or safe at the plate. But... YAY! NEATO!

I agree. And it'd be very helpful if a beat guy could try and get to the bottom of that process and who is involved.
