=Fman99 post_id=112746 time=1668113590 user_id=86] Right now Magill, Peterson and Lou Cheesy are 3-4-5 in the 2023 SP depth chart. That should terrify any Mets fan. They're all decent, or have been at times, but I much prefer that they be 6-7-8 in the pecking order. Essentially the same spots for Megill & Peterson as they had entering this past season.

It's really hard to capture any good story with a photo of Nimmo (or anybody) wearing an oven mitt.

Seeing as he's not shy about having Hall of Fame ambitions, I suspect that a chance to accumulate some victories on his record matters at least a little to the guy. And some things about his tenure with the Mets have conspired to deny him from doing that as successfully as he might. How that factors in is all speculation, but sure, an unimpeachable slugger added to the lineup posthaste is as good a way as any to start negotiations in good faith.

Before I got a word out of my mouth, Kristi said, emphatically, "Pitch Bobby today. He's going to pitch the game of his life." She looked me right in the eye, and I gave her a hug and a kiss on the cheek. I walked into the clubhouse, grabbed the game ball out of the ball bag, and went over to put the ball in Bobby's locker. 　　— https://www.alibris.com/search/books/isbn/9781637580943Valentine's Way: My Adventurous Life and Times 　　Bobby Valentine and Peter Golenbock 　　Permuted Press (New York • Nashville), 2021 　　Page 257, first edition hardcover 　　https://www.alibris.com/search/books/isbn/9781637580943[FIMG=260]https://www0.alibris-static.com/valentines-way-my-adventurous-life-and-times/isbn/9781637580943_l.jpg[/FIMG]

With a $14 million option and a $3 million opt-out, it was a pretty easy decision to make, although that might not have been the case had he been coming out his 2021 season.

Story from 2015. https://metsrostercentral.files.wordpress.com/2022/11/screen-shot-2022-11-09-at-7.38.27-pm.png> I suspect he still has trubs maintaining his passion. Most of his photos betray a sadness in the eyes.

I've been doing a little research project on this in my spare time, which hasn't been vast. Among deeper things to report, they took three HbPs in a five times, and were hit four times in a game twice. September 15–21, they took 11 shots in seven days.

Among all the solid thwacks! off the flesh of Cahna, there are one or two that barely breeze by Nimmo, scraping the stitching on the hem of his uniform sleeve, without changing direction in any perceptible way, as Brandon runs toward first before the editor can cut to the next clip, and possibly before the ball even hits the catcher's mitt.

I don't tend to give my fandom to billionaire hedge fund managers in general, but do you understand that to be Steve Cohen's modus operandi and goal? God, I hope not. We have enough crazy megalomaniacs running the world.

And I certainly don't want an owner determined to forsake logic in pursuit of a goal of breaking the bank.

Mark Cahna's Greatest Hits.

Let's discuss Turner and Hooch.

I don't "know" you're an "iconoclast." Please don't presume to speak for me. Believing allegedly upsetting writers is a Hall of Fame quality is not iconoclasm. Neither is pretending "the HOF rule says anyone who demonstrated superior performance for the time he played deserves to be in there." It's just making an indefensible argument in an attempt to have an interesting opinion. It has nothing to do with you. It's a forum. We are all asked to back up our positions. I don't know how this isn't clear.

I don't know where to begin. That a player has never been caught using PEDs doesn't mean there "was no PED usage." It means there was no established PED usage. That goes for everyone. It's not a mark against his record, but I can't see how it somehow be a mark for someone. But more importantly, he is established to have cheated, just not, as far as we've been able to establish, with PEDs, so the moral superiority goes right out the window. He was caught red-handed, as few have ever been. The ten-years rule is simply about qualifying for the ballot, not for the Hall. A lot of less-than-worthy candidates have played ten or more years. To read the qualifications merely as "the HOF rule says anyone who demonstrated superior performance for the time he played deserves to be in there" is very disengenous. I disagree that allegedly upsetting writers is a Hall of Fame quality, let alone a leading quality.

Kingery got knocked on his ass by a nasty and especially symptomatic case of COVID in mid-2020. Whether he has had lingering effects, never got his rhythm back afterward, fell behind and never got caught up, or has merely lost his way apart from that detour, it's hard to say. Infectious diseases can frequently futz up an athlete's relationship to his body beyond the symptoms themselves.

I did not remember Rick Reuschel being on the 1981 Yankees (or ever in the American League, for that matter). What a weird post-season that was.

That's not my copy of the Cox book, but mine is in pretty sharp shape too.

There are, for whatever reason, two Contemporary Baseball Era ballots. So if you're on one ballot, you automatically sit out the next one. Among the Mets who've appeared on the alternate ballot or are eligible to be added to one or the other are Hernandez, along with Kevin Appier, David Cone, Dwight Gooden, Randy Myers, John Olerud, Willie Randolph, Jeff Reardon, Bret Saberhagen, Frank Tanana, Robin Ventura, and Frank Viola. Spring training Met Andrés Galarraga is also in the pool. All of those guys have one decent argument or another going for them, but most are longshots. There's a bunch of other guys being https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Veterans_Committee#2022_revisionstossed around the pool who have lesser credentials, including several Mets players and managers. The top of the class, though, is Lou Whitaker. For my money, anyhow.

Guys in deGrom's position don't make offers. They field them. You see what he wants by seeing if he likes what you're pitching.

Is that from the July 4th/5th game? That can be a sideline of this thread: "Guess the context!"

That's pretty sweetly obscure. A quick peek says that this refers to the post-game scene at Toots Shor's.
