    It helps you appreciate the grit that got the Mets through the last two days. A punch in the face from reality is waiting for everybody. The ones who take that punch and keep their feet, or keep going forward, are the survivors. But Anaheim and the Mets were in a similar place two weeks back and as sobering as it is to see a peer fall, it's gratifying to remain on the move following this series. Trying not to feel good in seeing Stroman and Syndergaard take the pricks. That's no way to be cool. But man.

    Also sold it as a COVID-abatement measure.

    Infield fly rule doesn't come into effect with a single runner on. There has to be two or three runners on and less than two out. With a single runner on, there's no real potential to trade one out for a chance at two by letting a popup fall, only to trade an out on the batter with an out instead on the runner at fisrt. This occasionally happens, when there's a notable difference in baserunning speed, and the infielder is able to think fast, and it's perfectly legal. Runners first on second getting consecutively forced at third and second after letting the ball drop would be a far less-than-automatic play, I think. But even if it's routine, it's action. Balls drop in often enough as it is.

    Did Brett and White make the cut? I'm still getting used to the idea that active players are allowed to do beer ads.

    Yeah, despite Anaheim having the two best players on the planet, the AL West is suddenly looking like a niche minor league.

    I am SO psyched for the PotM announcements for May. Guillorme? Alonso? Lindor? I DON'T KNOW!!

    I don't think we precisely know anything about Dom Smith and the future. We can shave away at ambiguity, but the core remains. As appealing as the idea of precision is, the reality is that Dom could be the 2023 MVP or be out of baseball. As data piles up, one outcome becomes more likely, and another becomes less, but until death, none is eliminated. And so we play the games.

    I'd remove the rule. I don't particularly see why a guy who hits a grounder with a guy on first should be exposed to the potential for two outs while the guy who hits a pop-up with two guys on base shouldn't. If the fielders are more sophisticated than the runners, they can let the ball drop and get two outs. If the runners are more sophisticated than the fielders, they won't. Game action ensues, rather than an automatic call and an effective stoppage of play. Automatic rulings are boring. Game play is exciting.

    So, the best shot then belongs to Alonso and McNasty?

    I don't like the infield fly rule either.

    I think the end of is obvious — extra innings mean added costs, they interrupt teams as they obsessively control pitcher usage, and they add to game length. But bad leadership tends to only look at one side of the ledger when instituting reforms. I imagine the Lords of Baseball are delighted with the outcomes of this rule, and will come up with any pretext to keep it going.

    It also felt like the Dodgers deployed everything, while the Mets still had something in reserve. Medina is a pitcher — and not the team's only one — with a chance to grow in profile as the season progresses. Also, lest it go unsaid, the automatic runner rule is still bad for baseball. Winning or losing don't change that.

    Whatever happens, they've played the best team in the league even on the road, despite being banged up, and coming out west on a hangover flight.
  14. Edgy MD
    Wow. Shoulda stuck with Edwinz.
  15. Edgy MD
    Poo #2.
  16. Edgy MD
    A poo just appeared in my vicinity.
  17. Edgy MD
    I'd stay with Diaz until circumstances said otherwise.
  18. Edgy MD
    You know, I'm starting to think the whole thing about Buck Showalter having a Yankee taint was a little overstated.
  19. Edgy MD
    Yeah, it was a missed opp all around. They could have worn a version of Brooklyn Dodgers road uniforms with New York and NY on the uniform. But 1969 was the way to go. Did Vin Scully appear?
  20. Edgy MD
    Shoulda taken a strike, Nim. This guy was getting gassed.
  21. Edgy MD
    Vesia is welcome to start everybody 2-0 forever.
  22. Edgy MD
    Your 2016 Florida State League batting average champ, at your service.
  23. Edgy MD
    Good spot for Neato.
  24. Edgy MD
    Terrific. SF-9.
  25. Edgy MD
    He's fouled off a lot of balls four, but each too close to take.
