  1. Nobody is out there asking for the human element when they’re out there timing Olympic sprinters. “ooh, lane 6 has Jenkins, notorious for his slow stopwatch. Tough draw that one. Timing lane three is McNurtle, who always times off the shoulders not the chest - the runner’ll be wise to use his lean to proper advantage!” could you imagine how outrageous that would be? The umpires are there to get the calls correct - to accurately adjudicate the outcome of the play, not to offer their subjective interpretation of the rules.
  2. As a closer, Trevor Hoffman did pretty well for himself with the changeup, I think.
  3. Expecting a clean outing from Peterson. Show us what you’re capable of. looking forward for the metsies to put the ball into the sun some more, too. Little bit lower angle today so ya gotta smash those line drives!
  4. Fucking let’s go, Mets! LFGMforever
  5. I went 91-95. Put me down for 92. They could end up with a bunch more… or a whole lot less.
  6. I like having the piggyback to work the 6 starters through the rotation. Keeps more bullpen arms fresh.
  7. Wait you can just copy and paste straight from excel? What wonderful witchcraft is this!?
  8. I lurve Ronny Mauricio but I struggle so hard to see where he plays, without a significant injury befalling the infield.
  9. Welcome aBackman to all of our old posters. And welcome aBordick to any new faces among us!
  10. I worry the most about Manaea. yes Senga is fickle, but if he’s healthy he’s ON. Peterson just needs to get length but he’s so solid. Manaea feels like maybe that one cool trick might’ve worn off a bit.
  11. There’s always positives.
  12. Double phooey. but holy shit that is palpable joy coursing through that stadium. I can fucking feel it all the way up here in Jersey. Wow. Congrats Venezuela!
  13. Gotta put Gunnar and goldy up to bat, no?
  14. You also left out Goldschmidt. He’s starting to get a little too much of that Yankee stank on him. That shit just doesn’t wash out clean without a whole lotta elbow grease
  15. Nolan McLean helps balance that out just a bit…
  16. This team needs a real captain. Whither David wright?
  17. USA should maybe try playing as if they enjoy being there. Just a suggestion…
  18. There’s gotta be a fix to that nonsense in the next cba. I don’t know what it exactly should look like, but teams should not be incentivized to field lesser rosters to start their seasons - and more particularly galling - delaying the future paydays of their future stars - by keeping kids in the minors for a few extra weeks. id rather see teams incentivized to bringing up the kids as early as reasonable - maybe to the point that having a kid play on opening day versus two or even three months (or more) into the season should make no difference to his service time. Basically get rid of the notion of a super-two being a thing altogether. Unless you really really want to hold a kid out until August.
  19. Awww sheeeit! I just noticed the “The Crane Pool Forum” up there. :swoon
  20. I’ve started to notice the cute little up arrow to the left of my screen when I’m in the lower reaches of a thread. I gotta say I like how that brings me right back up to the top of the page.
  21. aha! i knew i was right. (damn, i looked for him too) trevor story...?
  22. he's really gotta bring a step stool out onto the field with him if he's going to talk to players. wowzers.
  23. no... that was... some kindof terrible call. wow. tap the hat. bring on ABS. i mean, yay, usa wins. but on THAT strike call? yikes.
