    i can't read it, because paywall, but it has always seemed to me that the mets have been blessed with good and great tv and radio crews for nearly their entire existence. not only the announcers but the production staff as well.

    he coulda shoulda been tossed for putting his hand on the umpire's shoulder, too.

    without marerro, our middle infield depth is, what, eduardo escobar? as much as i'd like to see baty up, i'm really not sure i'd like to see escobar need to play too much second base. i fully expect baty and/or vientos to show up in september, but right now, the middle infield gives me the willies. especially with mcsquirrel already a bit banged up. maybe those lengthy depth chart discussions weren't all too bad.

    wow, that was hard. the formatting was messing with my head. 94 is part of the same word as 95. that had me stumped for a long ass time.

    =roger_that post_id=103723 time=1660407451 user_id=128] This only reinforces my position against signing long term contracts with anyone, no matter how young and stellar.

    It's official. Apple TV is the worst
  7. metsmarathon
    That was a bad send. Slide too

    Holy shit.

    12-8 sounds fine. i get anxious about trying to predict out too small a sample, and worry muchly about angering the gods when i do so.

    deadspin is so much more trash now than it used to be. i kinda hate myself that it's one of my daily clicks. but i hate most other sports sites more, so whaddayagonnado? keith is right. philly is garbage. er, i mean, the phillies are garbage. i don't actually have much of an opinion on the town itself. it's probably also true that getting to philly is one of the least pleasant trips available, and he'd rather say, 'yeah, philly sucks and it pains me to watch them', than , 'fuck it just i don't wanna sit in a damned bus for four hours trying to get to the game'. i cannot blame him either way.

    Also yeah. Luis guillorme is probably at worst fifth on nearly any depth chart we might have.
  13. metsmarathon
    y'know, in hindsight, maybe that cano trade wasn't all bad.

    it's hard to tie a manager of the year down to a few stats. you could look at how a team compares to their preseason projection, how the players compare to last years' performances, how many injury-war they overcame, how they compare to their pythagorean wins, or you could just give it to buck. nobody else really comes close to meriting it, thus far. dave roberts probably could make a decent case for some consideration, and i think tory lovullo is in the conversation, but that's probably about it. in the AL.... its brandon hyde, all the way. boone will get more love than he deserves, at least in comparison to francona and baldelli. but if brandon hyde doesn't win, i call shenanigans!

    if it could be considered a possibility for edwin to win the cy young and the mvp this year, then jake sure as shit should have won both last year, having had, hr/9 aside, an even more bonkers year in twice as many innings. that said, i do think that edwin should get more than a few votes in the cy young totalings. but he'll have to get in line behind alcantara, rodon, fried, wheeler, nola, scherzer...

    i peeked. it's some dude whose name never occurred to me, and who logged a total of 33 plate appearances in 22 games, with appearances at 2b, ss, and lf.

    quilvio veras? was he ever a met?

    fun thing to notice... on the 2017 list, our polar bear was rated a 40 prospect, 12'th best in the system, a shade above guillorme, a shade below nimmo.

    Damn yo, these Mets is a good team. But still. Mets fans gotta be smarter than to poke karma in the eye by trying to start up a tomahawk cop. Have we learned nothing from our collective history?!

    ruf is probably fine enough as a 1b backup that it likely would not be worth the cost of dom's 2022 bat in our lineup. does joely rodriguez actually add anything to our team?
  23. metsmarathon
    my god, we went from second-likeliest team to win the world series all the way down to.... second most likely team to win the world series. holy fuck, what a disaster. the astros added a 1b/of/dh, a catcher, and a reliever, - two of those players were ones the mets were thought to be in the running for - and their chances of winning the world series dropped nearly as much as ours! The dodgers chances of winning it all dropped a full 3.1%! what utter shit management they have, amirite? do they even know what they're doing in LA?

    last year the mets were 46-38 (0.548 winning percentage) when degrom went down. that's good.. pretty good i guess. 88-win team. having a cheat code for a pitcher sure helped hide a lot of flaws. after a bug fix removed that cheat code from our lineup, the mets went 31-47 (0.397 winning percentage). that's bad. 64 win team right there. there were a lot of flaws. until two days ago, the mets were again without their cheat code. and in fact lost the game in which he returned. their record in that time? 66-37. 103-win pace. they are 100 percentage points better this year without degrom than they were last year WITH him! they are a full 15-wins-better team without jacob degrom, than they were last year WITH HIM. FIFTEEN!!! they're forty fucking wins better than the team that didn't have him last year. yeah, they really fucked up last offseason. so many mistakes made. i hope they make even half as many this coming winter. we should be so lucky.

    17 17 out of 28 is a 98-win pace over 162. i'm ok with that.
