    The punishment doesn't fit the crime. Give the batter a ball, maybe. Treating like a balk is ass. And let's make differentiation between game-delaying lobs over to first and actual pickoff attempts, which are an actual baseball play.

    I also don't like the two-disengagements rule.

    The booth missed it, but Alvarez just shivved Polanco in the ass with a bat fragment.

    I certainly wouldn't express any surprise. It's no news to me that I am in the minority. I appreciate any indulgence the majority offers.

    The Mets are loading up on Aidans!!

    Pintaro (demotion) and Herget (DFA) have been removed from the roster, with Stock being added and Bryce Conley called up from AA. As for a spot in the rotation, he's probably not really taking anybody's spot so much as buying Manaea and Scott back an extra day of rest after starting in the double-header on Wednesday. I suspect Manaea may end up pitching in this game anyhow.

    Well, Robert Stock aside, today's announced lineup should be pretty recognizable. Starting Pitcher Sandy Alcantara RHP 11-6, 3.82 ERA, 115 SO Lineup Liam Hicks (L) DH Kyle Stowers (L) 1B Otto Lopez (R) SS Xavier Edwards (S) 2B Griffin Conine (L) LF Owen Caissie (L) RF Jakob Marsee (L) CF Joe Mack (L) C Javier Sanoja (R) 3B Starting Pitcher Robert Stock RHP 0-0, -.-- ERA, 0 SO Lineup A.J. Ewing (L) LF Francisco Lindor (S) SS Bo Bichette (R) 3B Carson Benge (L) RF Luis Robert Jr. (R) CF Jared Young (L) 1B Marcus Semien (R) 2B Jorge Polanco (S) DH Francisco Alvarez (R) C

    I'm happy to add plenty more, but the dehumanizing nature of it certainly is foundational. Who will teams find more appealing between two outfielders? It's an academic question that I thought might be relevant and engaging in a less-than-active forum, as both may or may not be gone tomorrow, so I put up a thread. But I cannot embrace the ethic of the trade. It is just an endless cycle. And there is always a value to keeping a player you think can help you. Every game, including today's, is someone's first. Every game is someone's last. Play it for all it's worth.

    I'm sorry. I didn't mean to be fucking or stupid or circular or chase anybody away or parse anything to death. I didn't even mean to argue. I just wanted to know what I missed.
  10. Edgy MD
    But I suspect nobody has really been hanging on that answer.

    Trading is just bad. It's bad in an astounding number of ways. It was bad from the first time you were lining up in recess in second grade and some kids were talking about baseball and said about some ballplayer they would never know, "He sucks — trade him." It's the sea we swim in, so we just accept the massive amounts of toxicity as the only way there is, but it isn't.

    Did somebody blame the Dodgers for something?
  13. Edgy MD
    Then I am not the GM you seek. I work with a different magic.

    A Met team — that may be a lot different at the end of the day than the beginning — takes on the Miami Marlins as they send Robert Stock to the mound to fight for Gotham glory. And holy shit! Did I just type "Robert Stock"?!
  15. Edgy MD
    Fun Fact: The Mets were in a somewhat analogous position in 2023 when they dealt off well-paid established regular Mark Canha for minor-league starting pitcher Justin Jarvis, and economical-but-hot part-timer Tommy Pham for low-level minor-league infielder Jeremy Rodriguez. As Jarvis is no longer in the system and pitched badly in the Atlantic League this year, and Rodriguez remains in the system but isn't really progressing, I guess we can call that one a technical-but-Pyhrric win by a hair for Pham.
  16. Edgy MD
    I'm not advocating for the traded of either. They might both be gone by Tuesday morning and if so, that would answer the question. A pro-rated $20 million vs. a pro-rated $3.8 million is a big difference, and hot means more when you're only looking at the next eight weeks. Beyond that, I'm a poor man with a poor man's perspective, but I'm not sure I agree that $20 million for Luis Robert is "not-expensive."
  17. Edgy MD
    Who has more value out there — the guy who is more established on offense and defense, or the guy who is hot? Not necessarily how you, I'm askin', but how the market feels. I'm not sure I know the answer. Robert, however comes with a far steeper salary, along with a $20 million option/$2 million buyout for 2027. So it's gotta be Tay-Tay, right?
  18. Edgy MD
    As long as they have the trade deadline bumped to a Monday, they maybe ought to have cleared the schedule.
  19. Edgy MD
    Well, that was inauspicious. That game needed an Agbayani factor.
  20. Edgy MD
    Nice to hear Carlos Torres discussion in the booth. Wore the respectable number of 52, I believe.
  21. Edgy MD
    It's a little early in the season for us to be pitching a guy wearing #91.
  22. Edgy MD
    Ray Knight, sounding like an old guy who won't stop talking once he gets a hold of somebody's ear. Also Ray Knight, dropping a massive old F-bomb.
  23. Edgy MD
    Me, wondering why Jerry Koosman is being interviewed, before realizing it's Ray Knight. Also me, watching Griffin Conine SLAM one into the upper deck.
  24. Edgy MD
    Ojeda is not such a great interview. Just a little condescending.
  25. Edgy MD
    Dwight Gooden is always a great, thoughful interview these days, but it often sounds like his dentures are slipping.
