I don't think the "Vogelbus" thing is catching on. I'm also unsure who "they" are.

Marte is weird. He seemingly has almost a cosmic control over the Mets lineup. When he's going good, they're all going good. When he's flailing, they're all failing. He can also play well while not looking particularly good, getting hits on pitches he shouldn't swing at, or ripping one into the gap after getting badly fooled on the two previous pitches. Or stealing second after coming into first like he's got a refrigerator on his back. He's a tough read. I'm not altogether convinced he's healthy. As for BABIP, I've never been a fan of counting on that statistic to normalize.

You needn't have told me such. It is understood.

Putting aside the Hebrew-scripture-vs.-Christian-scripture overtones and the ex-Yankee-vs.-ex-Met undertones, if you were a Mets exec looking for a break-glass-in-case-of-emergency firstbaseman to add to the depth chart, in case Alonso is slow to heal and his replacements flounder, did your team choose the right guy? For the sake of the inquiry, we'll work from the assumption that this was an actual choice before them.

... and I'm batting .297 / .441 / .514 // .955 in 51 games at AA. And I'm 5'6". That on-base percentage, again, is .441.

Oh, the Mets can beat them. And they will.

I'd encourage you to poll-arize this thread. I'd probably go for Álvarez, if only slightly.

He's sort of a righthanded Dom Smith in that almost all of his career value is tied up an MVP-candidate season in the abbreviated 20220 campaign. If he does join the Mets, he and Vogelbach would make a pretty hefty platoon partnership.

My only interest in Ohtani is in seeing him sportingly but thoroughly defeated by the Mets on the field of baseball.

A point of order with regard to this vote: In transferring the points I recorded into my voting ballot form, I saw that I had planned to award Francisco Álvarez with 1.03 points. While I'm certain part of that was for his defensive work, I noted that the%20Schaefer%20ballot%20formthe Schaefer ballot form recorded him as having gone oh-for-three. I wondered why I had recorded as much of a reward as 1.03 points for a guy who took a collar, but then I cross checked MLB's site, and they https://www.mlb.com/gameday/blue-jays-vs-mets/2023/06/02/717929/final/boxhave him going one-for-three.

Whoah! From a Mets old-timer's game to the Anaheim Angels!

This is great. I always knew Escobar had it in him to catch up to Zach Lutz!

No disrespect to Carlos Baerga, but he's probably not the most solid of sources.

Literal MFYankees carnage.

“I'm trying to be thoughtful about this. And not reactionary. Because I've got enough experience, whether in my business or even in baseball now, to know that when things are going great, you are never as great as you think you are, and when things are going really bad, you are not as bad as you think you are. Things can turn around fairly quickly." Also known as "Y.n.a.g.a.y.t.y.a.w.y.w. Y.n.a.b.a.y.t.y.a.w.y.l." Now if we can just convince him to stop taking his fashion tips from George Santos.

It's hard to say. There was a lot of drama on that play. 1) It wasn't a deep fly ball at all — even by the standards of Felix Millan, who was as slappy a hitter as there was in the league. Harrelson had no business going, but was seemingly committed to going all the way, and broke really well. 2) Joe Rudi had a very good arm. It doesn't really show up on this play that much, as his throw is on the money, but not that strong, giving Harrelson a chance that you wouldn't expect he'd have after (a) seeing that fly, and ( knowing Rudi is no slouch. 3) Harrelson should be sliding, but instead tries to sneak past catcher Ray Fosse on the inside of the line. 4) As silly a move as this was, it seems to take Fosse by surprise, and he's forced to thrust a tag that may well have missed Harrelson's back/backside. 5) Some have speculated that Fosse was collision-shy following of his injury from being barreled over by Pete Rose in the 1970 All-Star Game. There's probably not much to this, not leastwise because Harrelson was 40 pounds or so lighter than Rose and hardly a terrifying sight coming down the line. Fosse just seems to put himself in a position to tag somebody coming in low, and Harrelson came in high. 　　5a) I guess that kind of means Harrelson and Fosse had an archenemy (Rose) in common. 6) It's fascinating and absurd, but Willie is in a better position to make the call than the ump, having come over from the on-deck circle and gotten down on one knee, carrying two bats, and nearly tripping Harrelson into oblivion as he flies across the plate. He's much too close. 7) This is no reflection on the ump's effort. The ump had has gotten down on his belly looking to call a slide play and risking injury himself trying to get right on top of things, but when Harrelson comes in running instead of sliding, Fosse has to pivot to make the tag attempt and the ump ends up a little screened. He has to pop back up on a knee and peek around Fosse's hip. 8) Mays' angle, and his instant visceral reaction, is part of what make Yogi so combative. If Willie had such a good view and was so instantly animated in his objection, there's a real good chance he was right. Also, Yogi had to interject himself to protect Willie from getting tossed. 9) The tags where guys are swiped on the ass (or not) while flying past are really hard to call. Modern replay technology has shown how often umps blow these calls, both ways. The umps are looking to call a play on the X axis and it ends up being executed on the Y axis, and they have no angle to see whether there is daylight between the glove and buttewks. 10) Gun to my head, I'd say that the throw beat the runner, but Fosse missed the tag, though I'd really rather not have that gun to my head. But you can judge for yourself. [media=youtube]RHNnoQg1ccA[/media]

I encourage you to still watch, Baby. It's good stuff. You can't just love Cinderella in her gossamer gown and glass slippers. You gots to love her in her rags also.

I love to see the Mets take their game to Tackonia.

Nice to see Pham be safe just by sliding in straight, rather than being cute.

Good to have Robertson back.

Relax, Pittsburgh fans. It's just 2,000 hits. It's not like it's Gary Carter's 300th homer or anything.

My feed just doesn't come back from commercials in anything like an appropriate time, so I totally missed that double while watching an ad in which Pinnochio tries to sell me athletic shorts.

Baty also the only infielder without an error today.
