  1. I doubt it'll come up, but it'd be nice if could take a moment and say something gracious about Billy Bean.
  2. He's a little dry, but thoughtful and interesting.
  3. I'm scoring that a double for Nimmo. Who's the guest in the booth? Is that Blevvy?
  4. Where did these numbers on the side of the caps come from? Have I failed to notice this on previous Black Fridays?
  5. Or you can just take the DH rule entirely out of play when the starter comes out, forcing a similar effect, except bench players would be forced to generally pinch hit for the pitchers as their turns come around. it would also incentivize you to carry more bench players, which would further incentivize you to get more length out of your pitchers. Or you can eliminate the DH rule entirely, get all that effect, and return to the pitcher that 2.5 or so soft outs per game he used to have available to him when facing his opposite number. In Michael Chabon's Summerland, the villain is Coyote, the trickster god of Navajo lore, but it's made clear that he is also the one the Norse called Loki and the Muslims call Shaitan and the Christians blah-blah-blah, but the point is that among the corruptions he's brought into creation is the DH rule, sold to the naïve as a thoughtful innovation but acting as a Pandora's Box (or perhaps Trojan Horse) to release all sorts of deleterious consequences on baseball and on existence.
  6. You should reach out to Bobby Klaus and wish him a happy anniversary. He had maybe a better day a week later, getting three hits including a homer in game two of a double-header. He had five hits on the day.

It's unfortunate he didn't get a chance to play with the Mets DSL Orange team, for poetic purposes. He is the fourth known "Orangel" to play professionally, but none have made it to the bigs. In contrast with the excellent job he did throwing out runners two seasons ago in the DSL, opposing baserunners stole 11 bases off of him in 11 tries this year. Sub-optimal.
  8. Look for Smarte and Sean Reid-Holymoley back this weekend and watch the wins start piling up.
  9. Two out, tying run on first. We need DJ Stewart here.
  10. Martinez, Taylor, Alonso in the ninth. Martinez goes down on strikes before I get that typed.
  11. Benjamin Grimm wrote: I skipped over 2020 for the obvious reason.) Trump.
  12. His slider is unfair the way 2022 Díaz' slider was unfair.
  13. Time to get a look at this Mason Miller character.
  14. Walk number 10 for the Mets pitchers, compared to four going the other way.

  16. Álvarez for McNooty is a big roll.
  17. Gelof with the bases loaded and two out has been the wrong kind of MVP. Ponderous, man. [media=youtube]n65QQ8mifbY[/media]

  19. Out-of-the-Park Mark up third this inning.
  20. Edgy MD wrote: A blowout for each team in the first two games, and a third game featuring hit-and-miss pitchers going against hit-and-miss lineups. An interesting showdown, but probably a good chance that the team to score first won't have to do much looking back. Worst thesis ever.
  21. And Reed Garrett leaving the ball up can be scary to watch.
  22. That was great. A college-age kid catches one of the (250) foul balls from the game, celebrates the moment with his friends, but then tosses the ball to a kid about ten years old sitting eight seats and two rows away. The kid has a Senga jersey and appears to be from an ethnically Japanese family, and thanks his benefactor with a few honorable bows.
  23. Gotta get Iglesias in motion here.
