Mine are much more enlightening. They satisfy the hunger of the heart and thirst of the mind. They illuminate corners of ignorance so dark that you didn't even know they were there. Those made low by the tyrant's contumely are compelled to stand anew. Those exalted by their own wicked and empty self-regard are laid low. Corrupted ideas are made to shrivel, with only their curiously shaped core of credibility remaining. Rejected wisdom is scrubbed and turned about and re-considered by eyes newly opened. And the stone that was laughed at in the quarry of intellectual misery is made the cornerstone of a new foundation — a foundation for a monument to success and clarity and charity and Mets wins and all that is good and just. Those are my conversations. In these conversations, the art and science of athletic personnel management becomes the map for a full and meaningful life.

I'm not sure what conversation you are characterizing.

Chad ochoseis wrote: Lindor was OK for the second half, though still not the guy we paid $341M for. Sure he was OK, relative to several other positions. But he was perhaps the 11th best shortstop in the National League, and that's still not getting it done.

Chad ochoseis wrote: A bunch of great hitters - looking at Conforto, Smitty, and McNeil - weren't just off this year. They were abysmal. McCann, too, though he wasn't there for his bat. If they'd even been just OK, the team would have been competitive. Worth noting that you were able to make this point without even mentioning Francisco Lindor.

We had a GM?

Baseball, Claudio Scotti signs with the New York Mets: "The most important call" The 23-year-old from Fortitudo has signed a five-year contract. Now begins the process that could lead him to the Mlb, the most prestigious league in the world by Alessandro Mossini https://corrieredibologna.corriere.it/methode_image/2021/10/05/Bologna/Foto%20Trattate/scotti2-k85H-U46090853608067I7-656x492@CorriereBologna-Web-Bologna.jpg?v=202110051538> Claudio Scotti, 23, has won two league titles with Fortitudo. Now fly to the Mets The true American dream: the twenty-three year old Roman Claudio Scotti greets Fortitudo Baseball Bologna after three seasons and arrives in Mlb with the New York Mets. The pitcher born in 1998 has signed a five-year minor league contract with the Big Apple franchise and returns to hope to be able to get to the diamonds of the most important baseball championship in the world: already as a boy, in fact, he was called by the Pittsburgh Pirates and played in a Rookie League (putting together 13 appearances, all in relief) before returning to Italy. This time it's different: after three years at Fortitudo UnipolSai, with whom he won two league titles and a European Cup, the pitcher of the Italian national team who grew up in Cali Roma and also passed by Nettuno has improved a lot under the guidance of Roberto Radaelli and Fabio Betto (the pitching coaches who had the biancoblù) and impressed the US scouts, with a last season closed with 5 personal wins and 87 strikeouts in 50.1 innings in 14 appearances, 12 of which as a starting pitcher. The process in America But what path awaits Scotti now? The minor league season (the minor leagues, where teams linked to the Mlb franchises play) is ending and in all likelihood the pitcher will participate in spring training 2022, where the Mets will then choose where to place him to make him grow and see if he can deserve the most stage. prestigious in the world. «This is a great opportunity, a call to which it was impossible to say no since the United States is a dream for those who love this sport. I thank Fortitudo, with whom I lived three important years: the call from the States was a dream, the fact that it can become reality changes everything », explained the pitcher to the Eurosport website. Scotti will pass from the minor leagues and from training to look for a feat that has so far only been successful for Alex Liddi, the only non-naturalized Italian to play regular season Mlb matches with the Seattle Mariners: five years to fulfill the dream of a lifetime.

I'm ruling it out.

Four pennants and three championships, but 26 games below .500. Bochy may want to come back to an MLB dugout just to secure his legacy. Good call. I approve.

Yeah, picking up his slack proved fruitless.

As much as I include "Predicted Terry Collins' Hiring" on my business card and at the top of my LinkedIn profile, I had no idea that Luis Rojas was going to be hired, and Carlos Beltran caught me as a big surprise too. I predicted Willie Randolph's hiring too, although there was a hell of a lot of writing on the wall to work with. I guess I'd've guessed Jerry Manuel's appointment, if it hadn't been announced simultaneously with Randolph's firing, leaving zero time for speculation. But we have a little time now, so let's get some action going. One name. Fill in the blank. "I say the next Mets manager will be __________." I'll open with, I say the next Mets manager will be ... Brian Schneider!

That vid also claims he's been blowing games since the 1980s. He actually debuted in 1976. Cleon Jones was still active when he debuted. So was Hank Aaron.

The harsh reality is that the team was living on borrowed time, and we mostly knew it, but lived the illusion while it lasted. From the beginning, the team didn't hit. The middle third of the season with the backup lineup, the team was able to hang in there because the pitchers were keeping them in the game every single night, and a couple of the benchies were stepping up. The great hope was that the original lineup would return to health, find their team in first place, and start hitting like the start of the season didn't happen. That hope didn't come to fruition, and when Stroman, Walker, and Megill fell to earth, nothing was there to lift them. Mostly consistent work from the bullpen, with different guys peaking at different times, but bullpen games are murder.

I know something about managing. Play the game the right way. Top that, bitches.

I found a video of late called Joe West Sucks. I got beyond halfway through it before realizing that, on each of the plays they showed, I was more or less in West's corner, or at least in sympathy with him. [media=youtube]MwjkDgqhT44[/media] Who knows who makes this shit, but you'd figure that, when a guy umps for a million years, you'd be able to get a better "sucks" reel than that. Joe West Sucks sucks!

But the plank voters have it. Please step forward and collect your toast.

Also worth noting that the rising whale gets the harpoon. If you want to be liked as a reliever, you would do well to stay out of that closer's role. There's also a whole lot of uglier shit mixed up in reliever hate.

As 2022 roster speculation (and manager/coaching staff speculation!) heats up in earnest, the 2021 thread needs to take care of some housekeeping, recording what appear to be the final transactions of 2021. A few DFA'd guys (Sisco, Drury) seem to be dangling for a day or two more, but whatever their ultimate fates, their Metly existences certainly seem to be in peril..

That's un-natural, but it does serve as a useful warning to Megill that 18 starts this season guarantees him nothing for 2022. In welcoming Claudio Scotti to the system, we observe that, should he eventually ascend to the big league club, he not only would be the first Italian-born Met, but only the second Italian-born major-leaguer since World War II. That's not nothing. Claudio orignally signed with the Pirates back in 2016, with the Buckaroos always good at looking for players from cultures not traditionally associated with the game. But it didn't go well for him, with a Peggy Lee fastball ("Scotti, we need more power!") producing downright horrifying strikeout and walk numbers, and a release after two years. But as shocking as a 4.3:6.6 strikeout/walk ratio, is, it was worth nothing that he somehow Doug Sisked his way through and managed to put up a 2.84 ERA in his 18 2/3 innings of rookie league action. He stuck with the game, catching on as a releiever with Bologna's UnipolSai Fortitudo back in the short-season Italian Serie A, and while continuing to walk copious amounts of Italians before dozens of wine- and gelato-enjoying fans, he found his strikeout pitch. His breakthrough came this season after he shifted to the starting rotation, going 5-0 with a 2.15 ERA, striking out 87 in 50 1/3 innings, while walking 24, which, it should be noted, is merely ugly as opposed to horrifying. We're guessing he's Brooklyn bound. We wish him well and hope the team continues his transition to starting.

I like relievers. I think they tend to be poorly served coming and going by their niche in the baseball ecosphere, and relatedly, as noted, they tend to make convenient targets for the zeitgeist, and this tends to elicit the worst from their personalities. But I like 'em.

Wait, we're making ex post facto predictions?

This was Potentially the Spring Training I've-Got-to-File-Some'n'' Non-Story of the Year. Would have loved to have rolled him out at third this afternoon. It seemed like everything the first inning or so was hit to left. Dom has shown hustle and improvement out there, but his throws sure reminded me that he's as a guy that's just got to hit and hit in order to justify an outfield assignment.

Probably explains a lot about the performance falloff.

That's that. I hate the swing-at-anything-between-the-ankles-and-eyebrows culture of Closing Day.

Ninth inning, Mets. Make something.

I just had Noah not eating it courtesy of the first batter.
