He’s not worth all of this angst. Just go elsewhere already.

The drone footage during the game was amazing: SNY (@snytv) • Instagram reel WWW.INSTAGRAM.COM 17K likes, 225 comments - snytv on September 22, 2024: "Our SNY broadcast crew was in their BAG yesterday flying a drone over Citi Field 🔥".

I first met Marc during fireworks night at Shea in 1990. It was the first night I tried shooting the fireworks there, and he was really helpful. His shot was of course on the yearbook cover the next season.

I know that most youth leagues limit the number of innings a pitching can throw, but most talented kids now play year round, not just in the summer. Then you add the fact that the most talented youngsters often play overlapping leagues so they throw the maximum inning in not just one league, but often in two or three competing leagues. They are often damaging their arms before they are ever drafted. Last spring (2023), I was covering a state semi-final game - one of the pitchers drew a lot of interest from the scouts (Hiro Wyatt, drafted in the third round by the Royals), and one of the scouts told me and the writer I was working with that kids in the Northeast are getting more and more interest because they don't throw as much as the kids in the warmer states. As he said, “If they're getting TJ surgery, we want it to happen on our watch.”

According to Mike Puma, Nimmo fainted...

I agree with Heals here:

He was the Braves announcer during the July 3-4, 1985 game.

It's my fault. I put the game on right the beginning of the bottom of the 8th. They still haven't gotten an out.

You can't get thrown out for thinking, so take a swing at George Will's baseball quiz I scored 22 out of 41. ✅✅❌✅✅✅❌✅❌✅❌❌❌✅❌❌✅✅✅❌✅❌✅❌❌❌✅✅✅❌✅✅❌❌✅❌❌✅✅❌✅

Today's game made me think of the great Harry Doyle: [media=youtube]Y9myYc8Pn8o[/media]

1. What will the Mets' record be? 82-80 2. Predict the NL East standings from 1 to 5: Braves, Phillies, Mets, Marlins, Nationals 3. Will the Mets make the playoffs (if so, as the division champ or 1st, 2nd, or 3rd WC)? No 4. If so, how far will they go? N/A 5. Who will be the World Champion? Braves 6. Number of regular season HRs for Pete Alonso: He will have 31 around the All-Star Break, tear up his thumb diving for a ball, and end up with 37.

It's funny how these sorts of things work out - I have a feeling we will be pleasantly surprised with Vientos after not signing J.D. Davis. I could see .275-20-75 this year.
