    I'm trying to follow that sentence. Ceetar wrote: Think about it... Thinking cap on. Ceetar wrote: ... if you're consistently able to thrive in pressure situations... Well, consistently, relative to the league at large. Ceetar wrote: ... they have to become a little less pressure filled because you've got that confidence. You lose me here. The definition of a pressure situation would be decided beforehand based on the game factors, regardless of the aplomb of the batter. Ceetar wrote: ... And if the pressure is lesser, and the pressure is what was causing you to thrive? well. I really tried hard to suggest that an alternative persepective is that the pressure isn't necessarily causing you to thrive, but rather causing other, shakier players to wilt. You could therefore look good in comparison, not because you upped your game, but because everybody else (including the typical opposing pitchers [or hitters] you've faced in those situations) have tended to down theirs.

    Or maybe that some folks wilt under pressure while others don't. In which case, the latter are doing better just by standing still. But it's all largely speculative. There are guys whose numbers have stood out in clutch situations on something like a regular basis (depending on how you define those situations, and how you define "stood out"). Maybe it's a question of a trait or maybe it's just random distribution. I don't think it's been proven either way.

    He said one is more than the other, not that the other doesn't exist whatsoever. But given the choice, with three on and two out in the ninth, I'd rather have the skill of Babe Ruth than the courage of Daniel Inouye --- in that situation anyhow. Gee should not be ahead of Hefner on the depth chart at this point. Is he? Does it matter either way? The only step in the depth chart that matters for starting pitchers is the step between numbers five and six, I think.

    Great, but I don't see much of a downside to using him as the second or third guy. In my universe, the ASG is a three-game series, and there's none of this false drama over who gets the dubious honor of going after the first six (or fewer) outs. Three guys get starts and they're all expected to throw something like a work-day's worth of pitches --- five or six innings, anyhow.

    Lenny, by the way, besides being the compleat ballplayer, is a recording artist. Let this jam from eighties (apparently) with Thad Bosley dim your lights.

    It looks like some kind of curio display cabinet. The doors in the base are swinging open on the left.

See, if this was the movies, it would be all, "You want to go on the DL? OK! Hey Buck! Put this guy on the DL." "Sure, Boss!" Ka-POW!! "Oooh, take it easy. You don't want to put him on the 60-day DL. You don't want to go on the 60-day, do you, Jordany?" "mmm-pmmm" "What's that? I couldn't hear you, what with all the cocksucking I'm trying to do."

    Yeah, I think the answer is to print them to your mobile device and go straight to the gate, but I'd still let the organization know you weren't really helped very well by the booth personnel. I wouldn't expect an immediate answer but follow up with them after the ASG hoohah if you haven't heard anything.

    Lenny Randle posted this shot of the NYC blackout of 1977, taken after the emergency lights kicked in at Shea. I'm trying to figure out what this guy is looting.

    It's really hard to do better than Davis-Duda II: Electic Boogaloo. I'd be camped out on opening night.
  12. Edgy MD
    Looks like his agent got a hold of his Twitter account. "**********" is like a pronoun in baseball circles, isn't it?

    Duda seems like the closest to trading high. But if the right pitcher/outfielder/shortstop is available, I guess I tell my trading partner to take their pick.
  14. Edgy MD
    Got promoted to backup shortstop, for one game, anyhow.
  15. Edgy MD
    Sort of one of the least surprising turns of events one could imagine.
  16. Edgy MD
    I believe Duda will be out of options.
  17. Edgy MD
    The rush is neither one of time nor money, but whether there remains room in the lineup for them. Or even on the roster. The question becomes one of space. They have five outfielders, each with a different profile from Duda, and while he has more offensive potential going forward than many or most of them, the pitching staff has been revived since he's gone a-huntin'. You don't want to make too much of it, but is absence is certainly a factor. There's a few guys in the pipeline (den Dekker, Puello), a few guys on the fringe (Baxter, Valdespin), a few guys nobody is thinking about but are nonetheless hitting (Campbell, Vaughn), and guys deep down like Nimmo. Sticking with him is a big decision.

Puello isn't drawing many walks despite his high OBP (I think that some HBPs are padding that), so that is a bit of a concern of mine about him. Then there is the whole Biogenesis cloud hanging over him. Has den Dekker even played yet? I'm certainly not arguing that Puello is a complete and obvious answer (or arguing for him at all). But among a field of imperfect solutions, he's one that the team (reportedly) might take a look at in the second half. Den Dekker has been in action a month --- two weeks in St. Lucie and two in Las Vegas. He hit for average and no power in the former, and power but no average in the latter.

    Enough things are going in the right direction that one modestly big deal like signing Choo could make a big difference. The Mets two big decisions seem to be negative ones --- whether to keep Ike and whether to keep Doo.

    He wishes the club had built a park that was a retro-chic version of Shea, the park where he � and later his grandfather � came to know. Exactly. HIRE RON HUNT!

    And she got a gun permit.

    And they DON'T blow it.

    ONE.
  25. Edgy MD
    Let's like it down and fly into the second half.
