Is G-Fafif in the house? I think I spotted him in the field-level seats.

Man, the Mets are hitting into double plays these days like it's a matter of pride.

That was a little too over the plate for Semien, but that wasn't that bad of a pitch. Mets down, 1-0.

Peterson in control through two, with the exception of a dribbling infield hit is encouraging. Escobar dropped back to eighth and popping up on the first pitch isn't encouraging.

McNeil strikes out with runners on first and third, and is nicely mic'd up to show us just how filthy he can bring it. The psychological manipulation to gamble gamble is intense.

We're in the bottom of the first on apple.tv. First two batters each out by a half step. Lindor walks and Alonso comes up, and I've had a LOT of invitations to put money down already.

Also a high-achieving motorsports enthusiast. https://metsrostercentral.files.wordpress.com/2022/07/casey-whitey.jppg_.jpg>

Keepers of the All-Time Roster have reason to celebrate, as R.J. Alvarez fills in the Mets' R.J. hole, overturning the controversial Darling vs. Macmillan decision of 1994, which ruled that the Ron Darling had never professionally gone by R.J., so the Mets could not claim to have fielded an R.J. on their all-time roster. Not anymore! R.J. joins A.J. Ramos, C.J. Nitkowski, D.J.'s Carrasco and Dozier, J.J. Putz, P.J. Conlon, and T.J. Rivera in receiving a lifetime private pass to Club J. L.J. Mazzilli, you don't know what you missed. https://img.mlbstatic.com/mlb-photos/image/upload/d_people:generic:headshot:67:current.png/w_213,q_auto:best/v1/people/571439/headshot/67/current>

That would explain why they didn't have to clear room on the 40. Travis Jankowski is about 36 or 37 days into his 10-day assignment, so switching him to the 60 may be an upcoming option. The selection of R.J. Alvarez (scouting report: lotta strikeouts, too many walks, too many homers) leaves the Mets currently with a four-man starting rotation, but is actually encouraging in that it suggests that we can expect Scherzer to take his next turn. Given a free roster assignment, it makes sense to give a vet like Alvarez a tryout. If he flops, probably is easy to send back through waivers. If he doesn't, you've found a guy.

I don't think Szapucki is coming, but I won't shudder if he does.

And Casey Stengel, certainly.

Was McAndrew the only 1969 Met who had a big league son?

It's a scenario that plays itself out in history and literature all the time. An aging executive — inexpert and not particularly engaged in management — exploited by an ambitious mediocrity of an advisor.

Those two are the worst sort of randos.

Done!

It would have been Mazzilli, Swan, Youngblood, and some slim pickings after that. The CYO might have felt differently.

That might help. I can send you a PDF of a scan from the book, but it'll take a while and search of three or so computers to find a clean copy of the text.

Meeting a young woman jumping from universe to universe, pursued by a demon, Dr. Steven Strange joins her in search of The Book of Vishanti. Realizing that witchcraft has initiated this youngster's plight, he turns to Wanda Maximov for advice. Things go sideways.

A café owner retires to his apartment upstairs from his establishment. He sits down to practice guitar for a gig he has later that evening, but when he can't find his pick, his face appears on his computer/tv monitor, speaking from the café, telling him that he is himself two minutes in the future, and to come back downstairs, so he can tell himself where his pick is. Hy. Jinx. Ensue. [fimg=500]https://images.bonanzastatic.com/afu/images/5ef9/5608/4261_10971250718/W_1981_.jpg[/fimg]

I really don't mind if Ian Anderson sits this one out.

For what it's worth, the online versions of my SABR bios on Ed Charles and Donn Clendennon are very badly edited — or simply not edited at all. Embarrassingly so. The versions in the book are mostly tight, fact-checked, and well formatted, but I've never successfully gotten them swapped into place for the online versions. I don't know if the editor turned in the early versions to SABR based on a tight deadline or by accident, but maybe the same thing happened to the author of the Otis bio, Bill Lamberty. As far as Hodges being behind the Otis trade, I think we're still too fact-poor to put ourselves in "safe to say" territory. We're mostly in the realm of speculation, though I'll accept "likely." As far as Scheffing, he's also in the middle of the Mets-didn't-draft-Reggie-Jackson-because-of-racism argument, so he just can't escape the Mets World of Unsubstantiated Conclusions. Maybe he has an unpublished memoir somewhere.

That's great. I figured Perlman would look older by now.

I'm sure if we think about it, there have been more than a few managers in later years who projected authority in a similar matter, but I imagine part of what you speak of as having been lost is a byproduct in part of the loss of an era where most leaders had meaningful military service. It didn't necessarily make a guy a better person, but it taught a feller how to carry himself in front of underlings in a way that reminded them to respect the rank. And with the players all having either served in the military, done some time in the reserves, or being scared shit they would have to, they learned quickly to respect such guys whether they liked them or not. A guy like Gil Hodges, who players were deeply scared of at the surface, but came to like one-on-one, was the kind of dude people went to the mat for. It also helped that there were so many stories throughout baseball about his legendary strength that he almost never had to display it.

Running Sergio Ferrer out of town is hardcore.
