No. He'll want a multi-year deal after his nice playoff run. Either go for a real, power hitting 1B (you know, like the guy we had) or stick with the same cast of characters with Young/Baty/Vientos/Polanco/random hot dog vendor fighting it out to split time. Bauers' season totals were not that impressive and his career before this year was far less than impressive. -
Well, they have a costly immovable object at second in Semien. They let their best option at first walk away last year. And I expect Soto will be seeing a lot of DH at bats going forward.. Bichette will treat this as a platform year to get a longer term contract, If he plays a whole year like he played in the second half, he'll get it. In the meantime he gets another $42 million of Uncle Steve's money. Don't forget, they still have Jorge Polanco for '27 (if there is a '27). He can't possibly be worse than last year. I know people say that about players, but in this case it is not physically possible for him to have a worse year than he had in '26, short of being stuck in an elevator for 6 months.

So the World Series is all set / IWST
Lefty Specialist replied to Frayed Knot's topic in New York Mets Talk
Fantastic bullpen work. I figured one of the pens was going to crack eventually- turns out both did. These teams are such mirror images of one another (that 8-run inning excepted). -
Been to Milwaukee and loved it. Been to Tampa and hated it. Go Brew Crew.

Don't quite trust Senga as the closer. Not crazy about Devin Williams either, but that what they signed him for. I like that the Mets bullpen actually seemed to get better after they traded all of the 'name players'. Ewing is only 21 and will get better. And Benge, once you take out that first month, was a star.

Too many sentences. The sentences all seemed to be on different lines. I found that hard to read. Perhaps that's an AI problem. Perhaps not. Oh well.

Did We Ever Have a 2026 Predictions thread?
Lefty Specialist replied to MFS62's topic in New York Mets Talk
We didn't have a team one (record, standings, playoffs and such). This was all happening at about the time the forum moved. (I think there was a poll at this place early on). I'm always a pessimist, but this year exceeded even my most virulent pessimism. -
And Nolan Ryan.

Okay, I'm really done with Jonathan Pintaro. And so is Andy Green. Whattashitshow.
-
Okay, I'm really done with Jefry Yan..
-
Fixed that for you.
-
Well, that was some sweet crunchy goodness.
-
Just an awesome sequence. Green comes out, tells Thornton to go get 'em. Thornton then gets a DP and screams "Fuck yeah! Fuck yeah!" as he goes apeshit on his way into the dugout. Fun stuff.

That's all right, Carson Benge has got you covered.

Subway Series IGT at YSIII - 9/11/26

Soto kinda loafed after that ball.... -
Subway Series IGT at YSIII - 9/11/26
Lefty Specialist replied to Frayed Knot's topic in Archived Game Threads
McLean not sharp at all. Can't pitch behind in the count in The Bedpan. -
Ya know, after rackytacking Alcantara for 7 runs, they better not lose this game. Opportunities like that don't come along very often.
-
And a little dork is the first hit off Manaea. Gary had studiously avoided using the word 'no-hitter'. But now the wheels seem to falling off a bit for Sean.

A phantom no more -- Dylan Ross finally makes MLB debut!
Lefty Specialist replied to Cowtipper's topic in New York Mets Talk
This. So much this. They should be giving all their Crash Davises and Moonlight Grahams their shot. Was easier in the days of unlimited September callups, but still. Dylan Ross has been through a lot and that clean inning in The Show means the world to him. -
Peralta pitching like the Mets wished he would have FOR them, rather than AGAINST them.

IGT 08/31 Mets vs Rays 6:40 My Stock is down
Lefty Specialist replied to ashie62's topic in Archived Game Threads
Pretzel Bacon Pub Cheeseburgers for everybody! -
The surprise wasn't that he was put on waivers- lots of players get put on waivers this time of year. Yeah, the surprise was that he was picked up. So Nick Morabito is eligible for post-season play. Good for him./s

This Stock is dropping fast.

That's crazier than I'm comfortable with. But Lavender sure smells good.

About time for the annual Seinfeld appearance, methinks.
