    Disappointed not to see more Synderharvey action.

    Interesting that the creamy middle was all about bullpen overusage. It indeed harkens back to 2010. Another manager on the brink also used a righthander named Fernando (Nieve) on an almost-nightly basis through April, and as with Salas, the guy had become a liability by mid-May. One chink in the armor is lost, one thread unravels, and the disaster cascades from there. Checking the numbers and Nieve finished the season with an ERA of (jaw drops) 6.00! Why that is exactly the ERA Salas finished his 2017 Mets season with! Terry turned out to be White Jerry in the end after all!

    Sure, but he's not in the job market at the current time.

I imagine having been a backup catcher for the Yankees is as good a résumé enhancer for a managerial aspirant as any. Geren, Joe Girardi, Jerry Narron, Joel Skinner ... Know what else seems to be a predictor of a future in managing? A playing career that includes a detour to Japan.

    Well, answering that would require a widely accepted objective standard. His team improved by six games in his first season and then regressed by 22 games. They steadily improved incrementally over the next three seasons, but never reached .500 again. To his credit, I guess, his tenure ended with his resignation, initiated by him, rather than his firing. On the other hand, they regressed starkly again this year in their first season without him, so maybe he needs to wear a "quitter" label. His last year was marred by two kinda-ugly-but-kinda-colorful clubhouse incidents, one in which Chris Sale cut up the throwback jersey that he didn't want to wear for a start, and bitched that Ventura wouldn't back him, and another in which VP Ken Williams banned DH Adam Laroche's son from the clubhouse during spring training. I concluded that these probably precipitated his departure. PLAYER REVOLT is a tough thing for a manager to have on his LinkedIn page.

    In truth, the "based on what?" hammer applies to all managers. There's nothing like an accepted objective standard for how to judge them, let alone how to judge which players are qualified to be future managers.

    Man, Ginger Beaumont broke my heart in Make Way For Tomorrow.

    A Dan Warthen jersey in the crowd!

    Ten walks! This is what life should be like!

    Hey, José Reyes! THIS is how you end a contract before going to free agency.

    Whoah, got distracted by late dinner and missed a three-run pinch bomb by Smitty.
  12. Edgy MD
    Matt Cain struck me as a guy who'd find a second life as a big innings eater for St. Louis.
  13. Edgy MD
    So, everymuhbody's off the Jonathan Lucroy bandwagon then?
  14. Edgy MD
    If they want to re-boot Little House on the Prairie, I nominate Jason Motte to play Mr. Edwards.
  15. Edgy MD
    Siddown, Peterson. They can thank you for the draft slot.
  16. Edgy MD
    Man, the catcher battle is on. It is SO on.
  17. Edgy MD
    Man, Cabrera is at a stage where Duda could pinch-run for him.
  18. Edgy MD
    Keif caught checking out in the boof.
  19. Edgy MD
    Michael Conforto in the haus.
  20. Edgy MD
    Yeah, how about that? I had missed game two of the DH.
  21. Edgy MD
    6'5" 255. That's a big lefty. Travis Taijeron, our hope turns to you. Also important to note: Reyes 2B Lagares CF Cabrera 3B d’Arnaud C Plawecki 1B Nimmo LF Taijeron RF Reynolds SS Gsellman P

    Don't advocate for your team to tank! Advocate for the elimination of the draft and all rewarding-the-loser devices that incentivize tanking!

    Or Creedence's cover of Dale Hawkins' "Susie Q," or their cover of Screamin' Jay Hawkins' "I Put a Spell on You." But I'm guessing that BML is recognizing some tell-tale snippet of cover art.

The Mets have hit more homers than at any time in their history, and yet are 20th in scoring. They need baserunners. This. That's because they're not _walking_. Well, there are only so many hours in a day. As if one obviates the other. I don't know where those bunt numbers come from Here. Fangraphs has the Bunt attempts at 750 in 2011, with a 23.4% success rate. That's down to 497 with a 25.8% in 2017. What's that? a .516 OPS? You'd only need 1 single or walk in 4 tries to do better than that. Well, John Dewan takes the time to distinguish sacrifice bunts from bunting for a hit.
