OK, guys, Darvish can pitch, but you're getting slobbery.

Mets have been competing a lot in the hammer throw recently.

Damn you, gyroball!

"When you get a base hit, that finger doesn't hurt at all." Wishful thinking there, I think.

Lindor should've stolen home. Vogey, though, gave us a look at how the ball is carrying to right. Pretty deep for a sky-high jam shot.

I'm in! I'm watching! Semi-legally!

I had been trying to use my neighbor's password to stream ESPN while the Mets fell behind 2-0. Josh Bell? No huh-way. The takeaway is that the ball is carrying to right.

I hadn't realized this uz on me!

The MRC squad generally likes the Mets roster, but to the last, the staff considers this parking of Carrasco and Walker to be bullshit. Williams too. Plans are important, but not as important as being ready for plans to go sideways. Also, Ruf over Naquin? Somebody knows something we don't.

Damn it. Now I REALLY want a samosa. TWO samosas.

Keeping the Padres unsure is one advantage. Holding off to judge whether deGrom's alleged blister is healed enough is another. Seeing what they have expended in the bullpen before making a choice might be one. Or maybe seeing how the San Diego Padres deal with one power starting pitcher before deciding on another. All these are (a) pure speculation, and ( likely worth little more than a hair of an edge. But keeping his cards close to his chest by revealing as little as possible in advance is the edge Showalter plays for. He'd rather talk about ice cream than his next starting pitcher.

Avocados are the greatest food on Earth and San Diego hordes as many of them as they can. Not content to horde avocados, they horde avocado-arable soil and climate too. Now I have to pay top dollar for those scrumptious little handgrenades of goodness.

We discern, and hopefully make new and better choices next time.

Because it's not remotely defensible, and rather waste keystrokes on it, I'd rather we just reconsider writing such things.

Please don't write that.

Congratulations go out to Mets thirdbaseman Brett Baty, the organizations Minor League Player of the Year. Brett, of course, began the year at Binghamton, where he hit 19 homers in 89 games on the way to putting up a .312 / .406 / .544 // .950 line, before passing through Syracuse in a scant six-game run before jumping the big leagues where he famously homered for the Mets in his first trip to the plate. The lefty slugging Brett, a former first round draft selection, is the first Mets MLPotY to win the award and debut as a big leaguer in the same year since Dominic Smith in 2017. He joined past winners Mark Vientos and Francisco Álvarez in debuting in 2022. When informed of the honor, Baty responded, "I'm deeply humbled, but is there any Schaefer?" The organization's Minor League Pitcher of the Year goes to a player without Brett's first round pedigree. Dominic Hamel, a 2021 third-rounder out of Dallas Baptist, swept to the award in his first full professional season by going 10-3 with a 3.25 ERA in a season split between St. Lucie and Brooklyn, striking out 145 in 119 innings, while walking 54. Other winners include: DSL Complex Co-Players of the Year: Jesús Báez (r/r, ss/2b/3b, .242 / .341 / .403 / .744, 7 hr, 34 RBI in 217 PA) and Dyron Campos (r/r, rf/lf, .300 / .359 / .521 / .880, 5 homers and 28 RBI in 157 plate appearances. [*]DSL Complex Pitcher of the Year: Wilson Esterlin (rh, sp, 5-1, 2.70 ERA, 48 SO, 22 BB in 36 2/3 innings) The Crane Pool congratulates all these humble winners and wishes them the best. Dammit, hoo-ray for everybody. Winners at other levels will follow, we suppose.

In The Lost World: Jurassic Park, InGen seemingly had their own import pier. San Diego was just going to let these arrogant God-players bring in a T-Rex from Costa Rica without going through customs.

Also not expected to see much action in the upcoming series.

So, half the 2022 Met hits against Darvish have come from Marte. If they can't activate him, they might do well to bring him aboard as a consultant.

The Chargers lost to The Jets in Bobby Brady's football dream. LOL! You suck, San Diego! [media=youtube]RJPF9U2RRBs[/media]

Probably the best Padre, pre-Winfield, but I don't think he'll see a lot of action in this series.

That's great. It's kind of Topps appropriate that two out of three are shown on defense.

The thread where we share information about the team ours is going to face. Austin Nola, c, #26, r/r, 32 years old [FIMG=500]https://www.eastvillagetimes.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/09/GettyImages-1332539890-1024x704-1.jpg[/FIMG] The Padres, like the Mets, have a fungible catching situation, with #1 and #2 being more #1a and #2a. Like the Mets, neither offer much offense. Both, however have offered more offense this season than either of the Mets catchers. Since coming off paternity leave in early September, however, Austin Nola seems to have re-established himself as the guy of the moment. Nola, whose brother Aaron is also enjoying playoff coffee this fall, is kind of classickly catcherlike, squat build, hairy ropy forearms, and some protruding ears. He hits righthanded, has puncher's power, but not much more. But he's totally a pro's pro, having been drafted as a 22-year-old utility infielder and converting only as a professional. Every scouting report on him will say something about "makeup." He has a short swing and that and ropy forearms and his scratchy beard might make him remind you of Tomás Nido, but the offensive track record is probably two ticks stronger. Probably maybe. I'm sure if you hire a coach out of his organization, he'll come over and immediate say that Nola is somebody you should look at. And ex-teammates will tell you he's great in the clubhouse. But he's never thrown out more than 27% of opposing baserunners, and you just really have to kind of squint to see in his record what people seem to see in person. His name is Nola and he's actually from Louisiana originally — not NOLA, but Baton Rouge, but it would be cool if he had been from New Orleans, though the novelty would wear out soon enough. Alas. He has trouble catching up with good fastballs, and the Mets have a few pitchers who can deliver those, so you might see him pinch-hit for in key spots. As a converted infielder, who hasn't spent his life in the crouch, and doesn't carry a whole lot of extra mass on his frame, he's still a good athlete and baserunner as 32-year-old catchers go, though don't expect him to steal anything. The Pads have no problem using him as a backup infielder. That's a lot of descriptive prose to describe the Padres' most nondescript of pros. He was also on the LSU team that got knocked out by the Cinderella Stony Brook Seawolf team from the 2012 College World Series, so he knows how to lose to New York teams. Tell me about the other Padres catcher, Jorge Alfaro. Or maybe go right to first base and give me the skinny on Josh Bell or somebody. Or jump all the way over to the pitching staff. IT'S UP TO YOU!!

Yeah, Jeff got that locked down. Good on him.
