    "Tylor Megill" seems like it came together from spilled Scrabble tiles. At 6'7", he's tall, like Big Bird. He also sounds made-up, like Big Bird.

I was going to say... this was floated somewhere last week, and seemed like a deal worth poking around even then. It's all the more intriguing now. The thing is... he'll be expensive. He'll be under team control (at arb rates) for another season beyond this (unlike Max), and the Twins will have a lot of interested parties. So getting it done would likely involve at least one of the top 3 (Mauricio, Alvarez, or Baty) in our system... and possibly other sweeteners (Szapucki? Ginn?). Is https://www.fangraphs.com/players/jose-berrios/14168/stats?position=Phe really https://www.baseball-reference.com/players/b/berrijo01.shtmlworth it? He's reliably good (ERA+ between 107 and 122 every season since his rookie year). But, even in this most pitcher-friendly year... he's not overwhelming. And that's what he'd have to be to be worth it, no?

    We're not getting enough baserunners, full stop.

    BOTH ways, we're giving away outs.

    The NY Post is publishing about a million articls a day calling for deGrom to be IL'ed. Mets would take huge Jacob deGrom risk by ignoring common sense Excerpt: I don't believe it. I refuse to buy into the notion that Jacob deGrom, after departing each of his past two starts with two different arm injuries, will take the mound again Monday against the Braves at Citi Field and act as though everything is fine. As though the third time will be the charm. https://nypost.com/2021/06/17/mets-cant-ignore-common-sense-jacob-degrom-injury-choice/https://nypost.com/2021/06/17/mets-cant-ignore-common-sense-jacob-degrom-injury-choice/ On the one hand, it's grating. On the other hand, it's impressive that they can publish so often, in between all those ranty calls to the FAN and hours of angry tweets.

What's yall's fav spot for the money? And if any of you skip work that day, LMK. We've enjoyed the RF corner (foul-pole-to-bullpen-adjacent) immensely of late. Close to the field, bleacher-y atmosphere, not too far from the CF food/rec area, and the RF food stuff (Sweet Chick, the Alonso burger, rice balls) is right behind you for easy in-games refills/snacking. There's also nothing wrong with buying whatever gets you in cheaply, and hanging in the concourse/on the Shea Bridge for most of the game (with the same benefits as listed above).

    Just got back from Citi, where we caught our first live ball in two years, from Section 102, Field Level. (Vaccinated!) It was electric. It was crowd-started two-strike clapping, stranger-high-fiving electric. It was Gooden-in-1985, Pedro-in-2005, Harvey-Day-times-ten electric. Until Jake got pulled. Then it got quiet. Then it got tense, even mildly testy. Chatted up an old usher while waiting to reenter our section following a mid-Castro beer run, and he was all, "I bet Ronnie and Keith are going BONKERS right now." I didn't disagree. Then some skittish moments... and then, man, does the home crowd welcome Diaz these days. All games should start with Jake and end with "Narco"-- preferably while dancing with your amped-up kid (or a borrowed one)-- and silly, silly sliders/absurdly-fast high fastballs.
  10. LWFS
    That. Sounds. DELIGHTFUL. (All the more so if we get to see the Quebecois reporters' faces as he speaks.)

    When Tie-Juan gets rolling, man... he gets rolling.

    Dammit, Dom's not in for the ninth, defensively.

    Weird baseball goings-on in this top of the ninth... mostly in terms of near-collisions, plural (Lindor and a running-to-backup-home Crismatt, Dom and Machado on a squibbed grounder to third.

    Is it me, or is every other pitcher this week BUT Stroman doing the Stroman mid-windup stork pause thing? Anyway, it works for May.
  17. LWFS
    I like the Dom matchup against this reliever. But he could PH for the pitcher next. Why do they keep subbing out the good defensive CF/speed dude in the late innings... without HAVING to?
  18. LWFS
    This umpire. Gifted two balls, by my count. Man. We'll take it, but... man.
  19. LWFS
    Nothing borderline coming our way this inning, it seems
  20. LWFS
    Tucupita tells me the truth Stroll confessing your own flai-ling Lu-u-ckily for you, the ump forgives your bailing
  21. LWFS
    Tecupita, give me an out... https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-oxvCNsTN5ao/WbgPhorzWgI/AAAAAAACz5A/fN9FlB8SNfMO4ljHtTiPMKJxaIfNj1T3wCLcBGAs/s1600/agnetha-faltskog-6.jpg>

It's like a happy little surprise every time he comes in. Like, "Oh YEAH!" I like that he brought some salad up top this year. Hard to stand out when you're a little guy with a boring name and a regular guy supercut Bringing some Stromannish glove, too!

    With Thor on Endless Rehab and Jake long-since sheep-shorn, someone's got to pick up the slack, there.
