I mean ... yay? Right?

Does anybody know Citi Field *really* well?
Edgy MD replied to Brock Beauchamp's topic in New York Mets Talk
I'm pretty sure he wants a writer to cover a guide to Citi Field, rather than a re-write of the Petco guide. -
Mets Roster Central is working hard to adapt their work to the new platform, but we pause in our work to note the modestly surprising news of Ronny Mauricio getting bounced to minor-league camp. Mauricio seemed to have the inside track on an infield reserve job — and possibly even the Opening Day shortstop assignment. The upside of this news is that it seemingly suggests a far stronger likelihood of Francisco Lindor being ready for the roster at the start of the season. Go work on hitting lefties, Ronny. We will need you sooner than you know.

There's a HIDE toggle switch to the lower left of the posting window. I think what it does is give you a preview of your post when you hit SUBMIT, so you can review your work, and then you can select UNHIDE from the menu that drops down from the ... menu. I think. Anyhow, I just used it in that manner for this post and it more or less seems to have worked that way. Thank you for reviewing your work. Very thoughtful.

SEAWOLF!!

I got a thumbs up from somebody whose handle was completely unknown to me. Slow growth happening!

I guess Roman Anthony should have played on Team Italy. Well, that's that.
-
Henderson, I can root for. OE: Bleh.
-
Which, it appears, isn't going to be a thing.
-
Henderson may be the pinch-runner if Schwarber reaches?
-
Great, now I'm rooting for Kyle Schwarber. Curse you, demon tournament.
-
Something is wrong with me. I briefly almost found myself compelled by an impulse to cheer for Bryce Harper. Almost.

That's a sweet reply. Velocity ain't everything.

I suspect that: Senga beats out Manaea for the fifth and final spot in the rotation. Senga still doesn't start until Game 10 or so, due to the open schedule in the first two weeks. Manaea gets IL'd. He additionally gets Extended Spring Training'd. He re-emerges in May out of the bullpen, unless another starter goes down. Either way, he will try to ration his bullets. And we will see how that goes.

Well, they are currently sitting on a rare Opening-Day six-man set as it is, so they've certainly built in as much redundancy as one can hope. But redundancy of all levels can break down when it comes to pitching. The championship move is always building the next generation, top to bottom. Other starters we likely will see this year: Jack Wenninger, Aaron Rozek, Joander "Vandermeer" Suarez, and (if yesterday is any indicator) Zach Thornton.

Man BBcodes look like shit on this board.

Thanks to cooby, I am now Mr. Dark Mode, embracing a world observed only through my obsidian lens. I apologize if I miss anyone passing me by, for we are all but shadows.

I will probably get used to it, but ... so much white. I am used to the subtle color variations between the main content area and the sidebars, and it helps me to intuit what is what and where to look for things. Even a hard rule betwen columns helps. Also, as to Irish's note above, yeah, I think there is some intuition that expects us to go back to the forum/subforum we are in after hitting "Submit." That may or may not be a niggling complaint based on what we are used to. Similarly, the breadcrumbs at the top of a thread or a subforum, helping us get back to where we are, are in such a light gray that I am forced to peel my eyeballs to read. Can they be in a more contrasting color? Perhaps a Metly orange (xFF5910)? Honestly, a lot of informational and navigational text is in that gray.

Maybe, like, PED suspensions should extend to the WBC. I mean ... they do, in that, if you are actively suspended from MLB, you are forced to sit out the WBC as well. But if the WBC is still two or three years out when you get dinged for PEDs, you should be forced to sit it out when it rolls around, even if you've long since served your league suspension. Just a thought. A vindictive, vindictive thought.

I would nominate, for continuity's sake, that the FORUMS tab at the top of the site be renamed to THE CRANE POOL FORUM. And perhaps "New York Mets Talk" can retain the original title "The Baseball Forum," but that may be an SEO thing, and maybe I just need to get used to it. Is there a place to search for active threads? I imagine there is, but my lazy-assed eyes have not spotted it yet. Also, I noticed by way of my own shameless potty mouth that the profanity filter is engaged. I can roll with that, and am beguiled by seeing my bad words rendered as "****," but the group may want to vote on that down the road.

Everybody is hitting the ball hard, including the outs. Lindor just hit the ball about 480 feet. It was ruled foul, but I get the idea it was so high over the pole that they were forced to guess as to whether it passed in play. He turned around and drove his first hit of spring into right a pitch or two later.

Batting around in the second leads to five runs. Would have been two more if not for a diving stop by Taranna secondbaseman Davis Schneider against Brett Baty, ending the rally with the bases loaded.
-
Toronto pitcher Grant Rogers wearing the forbidden 69.
-
Both teams wearing royal blue tops. Very confusing.
-
Toronto went up 1-0 off of surprise starter Zach Thornton, but the Mets tied it in the bottom of the first on a Marcus Semien homer. Occassionally players look silly when their hair sticks out through a vent in their batting helmets, and Bo Bichette kind of looked like an exotic sea creature for a bit there. AND HOLY ****! LINDOR IS IN THE LINEUP!!
