  1. =G-Fafif post_id=63159 time=1620259330 user_id=55] Nimmo to IL. Mazeika is brought up, presumably to tease him some more.
  2. There are little spoonfuls of news that Jake might be a late scratch with a lat issue. Or, rather, a little garbage plate. EDIT: Now confirmed by Heyman, Sherman, and several of the beats.

  5. Some still can. Harper. Trout. Hell, Piss Missile went about as "opposite way" as a guy with his power can go all the damn time during his breakout season. To my main purpose... Lefty Specialist wrote: Don't know if any hitting coach can fix Lindor right now. And Rojas doesn't have the guts to bat him 7th or 8th. There was an interesting bit of business from Harold Reynolds on MLB Network last night, tucked in among the there's-no-respect-for-the-veteran-coaching-voice and telling-guys-to-go-the-opposite-way-to-break-a-slump-is-verboten old-man grumbles. He led a side-by-side comparative dissection of Lindor's swings from this season and a varying selection of plate appearances from 2015-2019. Unless he's cherry-picking, it seems Lindor's got his hands lower/more lax during the latter-day swings, giving himself too much to do/less time to get properly into the load portion of his swing, and making almost every swing rushed or late.
  6. Zack Scott's between-the-lines explanation sounds like “Chili was old and set in ways we didn't believe in.” Danced around saying it in soundbite-y fashion pretty admirably, what with the "everybody has strengths and weaknesses" thing.
  7. Do you really PH Almora and not leave him in for defense? That's like the worst of both worlds, innit?
  8. Good Heavens, Mr. Yamamoto, you look BEAUTIFUL
  9. Frayed Knot wrote: Nimmo in CF and Pillar in LF?!? Right? Worth noting: A-Rod has used the word "lazy" to describe Lindor SIX times tonight. Not once for another player, while I've been watching.
  10. Bobble notwihstanding, Castro is a FIND.
  11. The Hot Corner wrote: Easy to talk smack if you're Alvarado and you never have to step in the box and worry about facing a high fastball. In the old days one of his teammates would either be taking one for his antics or they would be playing dodge ball. In todays game, their is little danger to acting like a thug. Maybe Alvarado felt that comfortable because he knew none of the Mets would hit him
  12. Good thing we pulled our cruising starter after 64 pitches and 8 Ks.
  13. Fanfares are pretty fuggin' awesome. Gimme something like "Pass the Peas" or some other such. Maybe "Search and Destroy," if I'm feeling dangerous, or "Put it in Your Mouth," if I'm feeling orally fixated. Or no, wait, I got it: "Mexico or Bust," New Kingdom.

  14. Stephen Tarpley: most assuredly NOT in the Circle of Trust
  15. Oh, come ON, baseball fates. First cue-shot singles from the pitcher, now check-swing bloop singles?
  16. I'm not sure at what McCann was swinging. Maybe he was, like, lost in reverie, remembering appetizing pitches in days gone by.
  17. =LWFS post_id=62027 time=1619296637 user_id=84] This ump has a... um... unique interpretation of the strike zone.
  18. I mean, he was charging it for ten steps or so before fielding it; it would've been almost more understandable if he'd sailed it.
  19. Walks, errors, seeing-eye business, and it's two runs.
  20. This ump has a... um... unique interpretation of the strike zone.
  21. This fuggin' guy.
  22. They seem to find and amplify the stupid in just about every offensive situation. Just plain disheartening.
