    Yeah, he needs to play every day. He wouldn't see a lot of action, and after his lost season in 2025, he needs to get regular work to hone his skills. I still think he can be a valuable piece down the road.

    The only time I listen to the radio these days is when a game is on another network (which is probably about 15 or so games a year). Always comforting to hear Howie's voice. He'd been telegraphing this for a while, with his health issues and reduced schedule, so it's not a surprise. But it's still a little depressing that another voice from my younger days is signing off. I worry about GKR, as Keith is 73 and Gary and Ron are in their late 60's now.. The people they've tried to groom over the years as fillin color guys, like Daniel Murphy and Todd Zeile, just don't measure up. And nobody can replace the best play-by-play man in the business.

    I never reply to surveys as I figure they're just data mining operations.

    Here's hoping. The White Sox fans seemed glad to be rid of him. Maybe he'll be that 'change of scenery' candidate, since the last few years with the Sox had to be a real slog.

    Manaea is the most concerning. His fastball was clocking in the upper 80's. That doesn't play at this level and may be an indication of something deeper and more problematic.

    You might find we're a tough crowd for 'hot takes' like this.
  7. Lefty Specialist
    No.

    It was in the film review forum, but it's working now.....
  9. Lefty Specialist
    Yeah, tips & tricks can come later. Need some basic functionality first. I also noticed things couldn't be commented on because there was no option to. And get these damned Twinkies off my lawn. :)

    Wow guys, good job. Of course there'll be some hiccups, but it's a good start. Oh, and those little raspberry danishes if you've got them....

    Cool Beans. Tom Kelly: Dorkiest manager ever? And I earned a Dollar Dog Night badge. The Mets never do Dollar Dog nights. Cheap-ass Wilpons.

    (Checks message) I did! And my ice cream came with me.... We're not in Kansas any more, but we may be in Minnesota, by the looks of things.
  13. Lefty Specialist
    I made it, I think!
  14. Lefty Specialist
    Dansby Swanson?
  15. Lefty Specialist
    I expect him to be stuck on that first rung. 12/45/.225 with plenty of IL time thrown in.
  16. Lefty Specialist
    Um, small sample sizes and all that. Benge needs to be given every chance to play himself in or out. And unless he's totally en fuego through late March, he should probably get his reps in Syracuse. A good spring should not be enough to promote him. He needs a GREAT spring.

    Our Citifield brick says 'To Many Happy Recaps', but I agree- it's too dated a reference.
  18. Lefty Specialist
    Man, he could be anywhere depending on external factors. Could be the everyday RF, dominant DH, or just a utility guy. I'll split the difference- 15/55/.250.
  19. Lefty Specialist
    Alonso. They haven't replaced that power.
  20. Lefty Specialist
    Shouldn't it be Myanmar Shave?
  21. Lefty Specialist
    So, in other words, udderly useless.
  22. Lefty Specialist
    No offense, but it's hard to look good when your colors are brown and mustard. I'm glad we have [MetsBlue]blue[/MetsBlue] and [MetsOrange]orange[/MetsOrange] to work with.

    The Unisphere is also a registered trademark so forget about using it.
  24. Lefty Specialist
    Definitely #3 for me.
  25. Lefty Specialist
    Ditto. I think we have a winner.
