That's some big-league H19'in'. I was right with you up 'til the AS Game start.

There are three things you need to know about me: I've already been sent down to minor league camp. My 2018 season ended early because I had to undergo surgery for a torn meniscus. It was my second knee surgery in as many seasons. Tired of punishing the knees, I spent the interim getting my body as hammered as boron steel. It stinks, because I've been right there for a couple of seasons now. Man on the verge of making a bid for a rotation spot. But injuries and lard have been making other plans. But I'm driving the bus now. Me. Chris Flexen. There was doubt that I'd be ready for Opening Day. But I not only put that doubt to rest, I was ready for the start of Spring Training. I've already been farmed out, sure, but I had been unscored upon in three games covering the massive total of 2 1/3 innings. So I'm back in the mix, buddy. Kilome ain't back yet, but I sure am. So if you get sick of Vargas or miffed at Matz, you're going to ask who else will be available. Me, Chris Flexen. Muscle-man. I'll be available. What's gonna happen when that call comes?

That's a gold nugget right there.

Supposedly, when Sandy Alderson heard Brodie Van Wagenen got his old job, he called to congratulate him, saying, "Just do one thing for me ... get Mendoza." <GFYCAThttps://thumbs.gfycat.com/SerpentineGeneralAfricanbushviper-size_restricted.gifhttps://thumbs.gfycat.com/SerpentineGeneralAfricanbushviper-size_restricted.gif>

The first cut is the deepest. This is triply true if you are Gavin Cecchini and you've (a) been removed from the 40-man roster, and ( realize the Mets have signed so many big league veteran infielders to minor league contracts that there may not even be room for you in Syracuse.

Yes, but the Mets have are baseball with a Tebow angle, so ... .

https://si.wsj.net/public/resources/images/BN-OV853_2E3L9_M_20160711123912.jpg > I'm not even sure what happened. I was the man. Then I got dealt. I didn't get dealt because I sucked. I got dealt because everybody else sucked. But I was the man. Right up until the time I was traded, this whole concept of "bullpen" was about setting up a ninth inning where I'm on the mound. But dealt I got. There's just no two ways about it. It happens all the time, but the lack of justice is so ironic. "Jeurys, you're pretty good, so get the fuck out of here. The rest of you guys, you suck, so stay put. You can't have nice things, and Jeurys is a nice thing. Hey, Jeurys, didn't I tell you to leave? What's taking so long?" So I go somewhere else. Oakland, to be specific. I'm confused and a little heartbroken, but I do my best. And then I get to the offseason. I get to sign anywhere I want to be the man again! But the market is depressed. My agent calls and tells me, "Hey, Jeurys, do you know who's offering the most money? You'll never guess!" "It's got to be the Mets," I say. "Its the Mets!" he says. And I'm all, "Didn't they already get somebody else to be the man?" And he's like, "Yeah, but, get this — they're offering you more money to be the backup man than other teams are offering you to be the man. THE CHEAP-ASS METS!" So I wear a cross, but I'm really more of a Buddhist, and I'm like, "Well, what does it mean to be the man in the long run? I still have a lease on that place in Corona. Fuck it. Tell them I said yes." "How did you know it would be the Mets?!" he asks. "Because life is confusing and ironic, and once you embrace that, it's no longer confusing, even if it's still ironic. I'm Buddhist like that." I totally said that. So here I go, back-up closer? Alternate closer? Eighth-inning guy? I'm holder of the Mets all-time saves in a season record, and I'm holding somebody else's water. I try not to think about where this is going to lead, but just be in the moment. But you may have an idea.

And the Nimmo batting average is down to .083.

That's a really good read. If I remember correctly, the second year was a big year for celebrating the pitching coach in the tenures of Eiland's two immediate predecessors. By the second season, patterns emerge, or seem to emerge. Guys who aren't adapting to his philosophy may have been shipped out, and when some organization guy at the end of the 40-man roster becomes a big league contributor, the pitching coach gets credit. It may be factual or it may be true but overstated or it may be complete bullshit, but maybe the press has written about the new manager through year one, so year two, the pitching coach suddenly becomes more interesting. And whether his newfound file of press clippings is deserved or not, the story makes itself true. The coach speaks with more authority and/or his pitchers give him that authority. He's a brand now. But as usual, fangraphs is ahead of the game, and they've saw the changes in year one. Harvey is gone and not particularly missed. He's got a pitcher who has won the Cy Young and at least one more capable of winning it. I think he'll get a lot of attention in year two. And I mostly think it'll be the good kind.

I don't know if she'll get more than a token visit to the booth, but the Mets, it's worth noting, have never had a female broadcaster. And outside of the Spanish-language radio booth, half-Pacific Islander Ron Darling has been their only person-of-color broadcaster.

Hey, the Marlins tied it up when I was pooing.

J.D. Davis knocks in Danny Espinosa and now the Mets lead 1-0. With Espinosa and Echeverria, I think the Mets should bring in Asdrubal Cabrera, Freddy Galvis, and Erick Aybar so they can have all the division's 2016 shortstops in one camp.

Jupiter Jason Vargas has kept the Jeters off the board through the first two innings. Unfortunately, the Mets too are scoreless. Having gone 0-2 so far this afternoon, Brandon Nimmo is down to a .100 batting average this spring. FotF, my ass.

Went to Stanford, won a gold medal, comes with expertise and authority. Genitalia aside, she may be a less outside-the-box hire than Van Wangenen was.

To the extent that offseason family recreation injuries can be said to happen on a pitching coach's watch, that wasn't on my watch. That was on Larry Rothschild's watch. I'm Dave Fuckin' Eiland, ready to answer for my own sins.

=Gwreck post_id=3805 time=1551793226 user_id=56] Wouldn't his inability to lay off bad pitches and not hit pop-ups in fact indicate that certain skills are not intact?

https://metsmerizedonline.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/04/dave-eiland.jpg> John Donne was wrong. SOME men are Eilands. And I'm one of them. I'm Dave Eiland, pitching coach of the New York Mets. My pitcher Jacob deGrom just won the Cy Young award and even if he was already awesome when I got here, I consider that a feather in my considerable cap. Did you see Zack Wheeler turn his career around mid-season last year? That's a feather too. I couldn't save Matt Harvey from his douchebag self, but, um ... when David Price won the Cy Young for Tampa Bay back in 2010, do you know who his pitching coach was? Well, it was Jim Hickey. But it was DAVE EILAND who was a special assistant with the team. That's right — feather. I went to work with the Royals. And in 2013, the Royals had the lowest ERA in the American League. FEATHER! It was their lowest as a team since 1978 — FEATHER!! Every year from 2012 to 2016, my bullpen led all AL bullpens in ERA. My head hurts from supporting all these FEATHERS!! And you know what happened in 2015? Well, my staff helped beat the Mets in the World Series. Do you remember what the weather was like that fall? It was FEATHER WEATHER!! Even before I coached in the bigs, I was amassing feathers. The Yankees traditionally import their pitching. Well, back when DAVE EILAND was part of their development staff, they decided to grow their own pitchers. Phil Hughes, Joba Chamberlain, and Ian Kennedy ... who was coaching these peckers in the minor leagues? It was a guy who has pretty much got himself the most feathers since Sitting Bull. So now I begin my second season with the Mets. "Make pitches, not excuses" is my motto. Which of my prized pupils is going to make me famous this year? Steven Matz? Ryan O'Rourke? Drew Smith? Don't be surprised if you see a Ryder Ryan breakthrough, because I'm Dave Eiland and feathers abound. NO MAN is an Eiland ... 'cept me, of course. So we know I'm going to do GREAT this year, but how that greatness will manifest itself is a mystery. Unlock that mystery with your predictions below.

I didn't think José Reyes looked done. He played horribly, but his skills seemed intact. The bat speed was there, the quick hands and feet, the arm, the strength. The speed was down, of course, but still usable. He just ... swung at awful pitches and popped up all day long. All season long. I would think that a decline in pitch judgment is more recoverable than a decline in physical skills, but so far, nobody's biting. So what do I know?

Three Mets who finished 2018 with the team still have no contracts for 2019: AJ Ramos, José Reyes, and Austin Jackson. Which of the three will be the last one left unsigned this spring?

And by "book," I mean VHS cassette. And to bring things full circle, it does have a Mets pitcher on the cover, but not Leiter. https://i.ebayimg.com/images/g/F9YAAOSwAIBbouS3/s-l1600.jpg?w=300>

Peterson finishes up with a poifect ninth and the Mets take the 'Stros, 7-4. Intriguing eighth by Ryan O'Rourke with a hit and a walk sandwiched around three strikeouts.

Nimmo went 0-3 with three whiffs before coming out. I'm going to blame the virus. Tebow is 2-3. Single by Mazeika and doubles by J.D. Davis and Dominion Smith and the Boston lead is down to 8-3.

Boston crushing the A-team, 8-1. This is still a baseball forum, man.

Mets take the lead in Kissimee on homers by Alonso and Thompson, but Houston ties it up with a Garrett Stubbs homer off of Sewald.
