    =Fman99 post_id=115552 time=1672014674 user_id=86] I need an update or my brain is going to implode like a neutron star.

    I felt there were three players that were essential to sign: Diaz, Nimmo, and DeGrom. [media=youtube]k5hWWe-ts2s[/media]

    I most remember seeing him pitch in Chicago. I hadn't been to a Mets game in over 30 years. But when I visited my daughter, I realized the Mets were in town. I had three choices to watch pitch and I chose DeGrom. Not a good game for him -- he gave up four runs in five innings, but the Mets tied it and he got no decision. He had a play at the plate reversed (probably correctly; I was surprised when the called the runner out), then gave up a two-run homer (perhaps shaken by losing the call). The Mets lost, with Vic Black the losing pitcher and Jenrry Mejia gave up two runs when he should have kept the thing close.

    They can't spell "Alomar"?

    Matty Alou didn't play for the Mets. Neither did Felipe. Both played for the MFYs, though.

    I guess it's rerun season.

I'd name a song or two I knew (and maybe even kind of liked) and ask if it was part of the set list. They never seemed to know. There are playlists of most every Grateful Dead concert at https://www.setlists.net/https://www.setlists.net/ and elsewhere. You can also find audio of most of their concerts at https://archive.org/details/GratefulDeadhttps://archive.org/details/GratefulDead

    Edgy MD wrote: The season in which he uses up his rookie eligibility — by at-bats, innings pitched, or service time — is a rookie season. If he hits his 50th career inning pitched on April 1, he's a rookie. More importantly, I think I need to get through to MLB and get this vote tossed and recast. There was a player a few years ago who was hit by a pitch one appearance before he lost his rookie eligibility and missed the rest of the season. He won the next year, even though he was no longer a rookie by the second game he appeared in in April. So it would seem that you're eligible if you are a rookie when the season begins.

    Mike Vail. Came up looking like a star, so good that they traded away Rusty Staub. Big mistake. Don Bosch, though Bosch himself thought he wasn't as good as advertised. I expected more for Jim Fregosi. He was on a potential HOF track until traded to the Mets. Sean Fitzmaurice, mostly because he had a great name.

    The IF rule makes sense. Why do you think it was instituted? Because fielders would intentionally drop fly balls to get double plays. The runner has no shot at breaking it up, since they had to stay near their base. So it led to automatic double plays in IF situations. Too easy for the defense. The rule was instituted in the name of fairness.

    My father often said. "People who play with doors get hurt."

    I find it amazing that the team can always come back when the other team takes a lead. I can't recall a time when the team wasn't out of it once they fell behind.

    Don't do hypotheticals when you have a real-world example. One ROY winner a few years ago was HBP a couple of ABs before losing his rookie status and missed the rest of the season. He won the next year.

    This is what happens with poorly designed voting systems and poorly defined terms, such as "rookie." "Rookie" is specifically defined. [bLOCKQUOTE]A player shall be considered a rookie unless he has exceeded any of the following thresholds in a previous season (or seasons): • 130 at-bats or 50 innings pitched in the Major Leagues. • 45 total days on an active Major League roster during the Championship Season (excluding time on the Injured List). A player must have rookie eligibility to be considered for any MLB rookie awards -- such as the American League or National League Rookie of the Year Award -- or appear on any MLB Pipeline prospect lists..[/bLOCKQUOTE] It's morea matter of the sportswriter not checking.

    I'm delighted the Mets had the guts to do it. One more advantage of having Steve Cohen as owner.

    Conforto had to be injured after the QO; otherwise he would have taken it. He also turned down an earlier Mets offer of $100 million. He expected to get more in free agency. It turned out to be a bad choice.

    Citibank, obviously. For older fans, https://www.rheingoldbeer.com/https://www.rheingoldbeer.com/

    I thought they should have done that in 2002, setting up something ad hoc.

    The Mets didn't play on the day I was born. It was ten years later that they played their first game.

    "Payoff pitch." Lindsay Nelson used the phrase for every full count. No one has continued the tradition.

    Can of corn. You don't hear "hanging curve" all that much these days. I don't see "no pepper" written on the walls of the grandstand any more.
