    What Keith Meant to Say: "Noah looks great. He wasn't sitting around playing Tiddly Winks all that time." What Keith Said: "Noah looks great. He wasn't sitting around playing Titty Winks all that time."

    Well, if he's right about Conforto missing the first month, which is probably neither optimistic nor pessimistic, Aoki is somewhere between numbers two and four for the first chunk o' the season, unless they bring in a bigger shot than him. Catastrophic late-season injuries are doubly bad because they don't allow you much of a picture into what you'll have on April 1.

    Playing for that contract and coming up big. Quick, somebody knock him down!

    We might get a Syndergaard pinch-hit appearance in this one.

    The wind saves the Mets in the 10th. Not every day you see Citizen's Bank park hold a deep drive like that.

    You want insinuations? I'll give you insinuations. Note that Newsday gets that story out while the Mets are playing — and Marc Carig has access to — R.A. Dickey's team. There's a guy with a vocab'lary.

They've had him on a 75-ish pitch count limit lately (no point in pushing it so late in the year I guess) I'm not sure when that qualified as pushing it. I'm not even sure what it is. Pitch, pitchers, pitch! We go to extra innings.

    Anybody watching this action? Mets just went up 3-2 on a two-run triplex by Brandon Nimmo. Don't tell me there ain't no room for Brandon in 2018. Because if you do, you are lying.

    Come on. You spot Tommy Milone in a runway, tell me you know who it is? Terry to self: "Hey,who's that guy? Nelson Figueroa? Ed Leyro? Wait a minute ... he's got a full kit on. Maybe he's my starting pitcher today. Better just nod and keep walking like you're in charge."

    It's funny, because earlier in his tenure, the regular story on Terry was how focused on communication he was, frequently stopping by a guy's locker to make sure the lines were open, specifically catering to the guy going through rough spots, and being overtly conscious in choosing this behavior, because failing to communicate is what allegedly doomed him at previous spots. I wouldn't be shocked if, in a spiraling season, with high turnover, high frustration, and an aging mind and body, maintaining all those lines of communication, and control of the clubhouse narrative, became more than he could bear. I also wouldn't be surprised if one of those personalities he had no control over was Céspedes, and another was Harvey. Guys making their own rules may be mostly harmless, but then order breaks down in the fringes, because the guys you rarely have contact with take their cues from the 500-pound gorillas. It's why football coaches are such martinets. They have 60 or so guys in that clubhouse that they can't personally police.

    I'm not sure what the Terry Collins/Porny Pornins connection is.

    And the stinky Phillies win.
  16. Edgy MD
    You're supposed to take a strike Aoki.

    Morgan getting folks with the change.

    One thing about Plawecki: As detached as I may be from games, I always look up when he's at bat.
  19. Edgy MD
    And folks say Samuel never helped the Mets.
  20. Edgy MD
    And that's scored a double because no reason.
  21. Edgy MD
    Harvey balking a run home by hitting himself in the butt with the ball during his windup — a season in a nutshell.
  22. Edgy MD
    Why did the Phillies just get a two-run homer instead of a solo homer? Because bunt singles help.
  23. Edgy MD
    Reyes hits a homer that I thought was going to hit his own face displayed on the scoreboard in right. Keith sounds kind of drunk tonight.

I'd say breaking your hip in a bar isn't exactly ending good either. 41Forever wrote: If journalists allow people to speak without using their name, they will find someone, somewhere to say what they are looking for. It seems to me that if you are going to damage someone's reputation, as this story does, you need to have someone stand up and be on the record. Well, the other option is independent corroboration. Obviously, there are stories that are true but would never get published if the sources had to be named (Watergate!). Un-named sources have a long and important history in journalism, and there are both irresponsible and responsible ways to use them.

    I think perhaps a big part of the reason that this is breaking a week for the end of Terry's tenure is that a lot of the sources are realizing that their tenures are likely coming to an end also, so there's little motivation to play good soldier. I also wonder if Wally Backman is a source also. Don't tell me he doesn't have a dog in this fight. Or doesn't see conspiracies around every corner. Or doesn't like to drink with reporters.
