Fuck you, world. We got Orlando Calixte.

He's hit a respectably meh .250 / .304 / .384 // .687 as a minor leaguer, but an eyepoppping .143 / .185 / .163 // .348 as a big leaguer. For comparison's sake, over a 15-year career, Sid Fernandez slashed .182 / .206 / .223 // .429. So he should fit right in! Calixte is Dominican, but born of Haitian parents, with sharply cut cheekbones and two piercing no-bullshit eyes. The Atlantic League hadn't yet started their season, so there shouldn't be too much concern about the adjustment from the 61-foot pitching distance screwing up his timing.

[CROSSOUT]Nimmo[/CROSSOUT] [CROSSOUT]Almora[/CROSSOUT] [CROSSOUT]Pillar[/CROSSOUT] [CROSSOUT]Conforto[/CROSSOUT] [CROSSOUT]Fargas[/CROSSOUT] Maybin Lee

I'm just tuning in. Whose job was it to look after Fargas?

Conforto's agent's advice seemingly didn't work out. McNeil is a bad situation, because he's one of three guys in the last few weeks who aggravated an injury trying to play hurt. Conforto too, I guess, but it wasn't public knowledge that he was trying to play through something.

That is weird. Nido and Zeke both have firstbasing experience. Zeke has significantly more, but they probably don't want his first start against a lefty.

That'll put him, Baty, and Mauricio in the same lineup.

Soup is batting 1.000 for the Seattle Mariners.

Apparently, Madison Yamamoto got to enjoy her husband's first Mets start along with a less-than-tasty side of getting trolled on Twitter. if you ask me, Jordan is more than a little hard on himself here, too.

Alvarez went 2-6 with a three-run homer as the designated hitter this afternoon. This, amazingly, brought all his numbers ... down — most of them anyhow — with a slashy line that now sits at .417 / .567 / .646 // 1.213 through 63 plate appearances.

YamamotOW!

This is terrific.

I just ask that none of them try first-pitch swinging down 5-0 in the eighth.

I'm guessing the Mets are planning on getting three innings out of Yummy, three out of Gselly, and three out of Yennsy.

Finally, a swing-and-miss. Mets booth second-guessing the hell out of Rojas hooking Stro and Luc early, emptying the relief tank for this afternoon.

Dom probably should have gone home. Yama isn't missing a whole lot of bats.

Drury could have gotten to that ball faster. But I'd've been reluctant to get in 'Moto's way also.

Sierra missed.

Like Terrence Mann's America, the Mets are constantly erased like a blackboard and rebuilt again.

Wow.

I ask my pitching coach if whatever's going wrong can be corrected. I also have to distinguish whether he's being teed off on or walking the ballpark vs. whether balls are just finding holes or he's getting squeezed by the ump. But if things are not trending well after 40 pitches, it might be time to give the opposition (and the ump) a new look at a new guy, and allow the starter to stop laboring and to focus on making whatever adjustments he needs for his next start.

“All I've got left is my baseball card,” he said. “Really, I was just a common player. My card isn't worth a nickel. And it hurts, because I know I could have been so much more.” This hurts to read. He was Phil Fucking Lombardi and I wish i got a chance to tell him so. Phil. Fucking. Lombardi.

Lefty Specialist wrote: 5. Has he hit his innings count? 4? With a bullpen coming off a stressful game? This, though, apparently, was the condition that set off the kill switch. There was a specific number of "ups-and-downs" he was being limited to. This was looking like the game that had the potential to turn Lucchesi's season around, and maybe it still will be, but not for lack of ice cold water being thrown all over that notion by his manager.

One of these guys is my friend Eric and the other is Daniel Zamora. See if you can guess which is which! [fimg=350]https://www.jesuits.org/wp-content/uploads/2021/01/Eric-Clayton-900px-144pp.jpg[/fimg] [FIMG=400]https://longislandweekly.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/05/ZAMORA_022119_SM_003.jpg[/FIMG]

“With him, this is a guy who's been part of our bullpen now for almost a week,” Rojas said. “We knew that we had him at a point where he was throwing sides as a starter, but not at this point. He wasn't doing that in between starts or anything. Last night we didn't know who was going to start the game, and this morning was when we committed to giving the ball to Lucchesi because he had probably the length that we needed and the four innings, which is what he gave us today. We felt it was safe for him with the ups and downs, and just from our pitching coach's experience and any concern level that we may have just pushing a guy going maybe to a further up-down or pitch count after the four innings without having a side, that's why we ended up going that way. So, we're back to this new artificial barrier of ups and downs. And I just think that we're trapped in realm of madness. How is that even a thing? So much science has crept into the game, that everybody wants to seem like they are part of the science-informed population of the illuminated. But what so many are embracing is pseudo science. Nobody is finding new ways to win — they're finding new excuses for caution. But risk can not be eliminated, only managed and weighed against rewards. That's not happening. Once, not too long ago, a manager asked two questions about his pitcher as he progressed into the game and contemplated removing him. 1. Is he still effective? 2. Do I find myself in an offensive situation where it's more valuable to pinch-hit for him than to leave him in the game? It was great, because if you elected to say yes to the first, and no to the second, you can ask yourself again one batter later, and one batter after that, until you change your mind. You can even go pitch-by-pitch if you want. If you're unsure in answering yes to the first question and no to the second, you get somebody up in the bullpen, and make the decision again a few moments later. But now, the manager is forced to ask himself a litany of questions, most of which have nothing to do with anything. 1. Is my pitcher still effective? 2. Do I find myself in an offensive situation where it's more valuable to pinch-hit for him than to leave him in the game? 3. Is this next hitter a good matchup for him in a tough spot? 4. Has he hit his pitch count? 5. Has he hit his innings count? 6. Has he reached a certain number of times through the order? 7. Have we reached the game/score situation that we have groomed a particular reliever for? 8. Has my starter been “stretched” enough? 9. Has he reached a poiont my coach and I arbitrarily came up with before the game, and inexplicably made a hard rule out of? 10. Has he been pitching more innings than he had at this point last year? All the questions advise you to lean toward the most cautious approach. Managers are managing less for wins and more for things not to blow up on their watches, and the pitchers get shorter and shorter ropes that serve neither them nor the team. Nor the game. Nor me, frankly. If Phil Jackson ever pulled Michael Jordan at halftime because they decided before the game that he only had x amount of shots and/or Y amount of minutes in him, nobody would accept that. Ever. And no, that's not an ideal analogy, because pitching isn't basketball, but still, we're putting up with a counterproductive philosophy permeating through the game. I can't blame Rojas, because I've heard this bullshit from all corners, but I sure wish he was the first to get off this train.

Playing for the tie is a fool's game. It always catches up with you.
