=whippoorwill post_id=107318 time=1663197474 user_id=79] Lol I meant at the Syracuse level We used to ‘pretend' we were going to house a few Williamsport players back when our daughter was a teen She caught a few eyes (from the bullpen) when we went there for games. She did work in the Historic Bowman Field gift shop for a bit.
Starting tonight for the Syracuse Mets. Fgirl and I will be there to watch. Pretty happy about this. Let us know how Alvarez looks. He is back off the IL and homered last night. Later Funny you should mention that. We were there last night and witnessed the HR. Better yet, we had great seats behind the plate and you can see us in the replay of the dinger that was aired on SNY. Look for the two of us left of center (me in the backwards orange Mets hat) at the
00:11 second mark of this clip.
Fgirl and I opted out of this game to attend the Syracuse Mets game. They started out with a 90 minute rain delay despite it not having rained. They got all nervous about the forecast and didn't want to have to get pitchers up only to have them sit. Except for both teams were using htis as a bullpen game. So not really sure what the point of that was. We made it to the top of the 6th - and at 10:30 PM it was 11-5 Bisons. We got cold and went home. The game went until 11:40 PM. We did get to see both Drew Smith and Tylor Megill pitched. They were equally ineffective in front of tens of fans.
Wow Atlanta came back from down 6-1 in the 8th to take a 9th inning 7-6 lead, only to have Jansen blow the save in the 9th. That's some sexy business there
Pitched again yesterday here in town and had another strong inning. Seems like they are priming him for some fall bullpen help. Guillorme in the lineup last night for Syracuse as well
The players have officially gone on the record through their union to also indicate they do not favor the pitch clock or the shift ban. So, really, who's clamoring for this exactly?

We watched Vientos at Syracuse tonight and he hit a ridiculous HR to deep center that bounced about 3/4 of the way up on the batter's eye. It was a blast.
Just announced, officially. 1. An official pitch clock and penalties to batters and/or pitchers for taking too long 2. Bases increase in size from 15" to 18" 3. Banning of the shift - all infielders must start each pitch on the dirt and there must be two on either side of 2nd base I'm pretty indifferent to items #1 and #2 above but banning the shift is mad stupid. You can beat the shift by dropping a bunt down the line, except of course that no one hardly ever does it.

I'd encourage you to keep making wishes while you're hot.
