  1. Not so rare today because I don't know my AL guys so well and had to go with layups for some of these. ⚾️ Immaculate Grid 695 9/9: Rarity: 93 IMMACULATE! 🟩🟩🟩 🟩🟩🟩 🟩🟩🟩 KC/TEX - Juan Gonzalez 4 KC/CLE - Carlos Santana 33 KC/300AVG - Whit Merrifield 3 MIL/TEX - Prince Fielder 42 MIL/CLE - Jeromy Burnitz 2 MIL/300AVG - Cecil Cooper 6 30HR/TEX - Alfonso Soriano 1 30HR/CLE - Vic Wertz .5 30HR/300AVG - David Wright 1
  2. Home opener is Tuesday, April 1st. April baseball in Syracuse is mad stupid, don't kid yourself. In more immediately relevant news, if you're at a home game in my town this summer after mid May, swing by the souvenir shop and say hello to Fboy, who has secured summer employment there and is excited to be on the Mets' payroll this year !

  4. I really paid no mind to baseball from the time I left home for college in 1991 until moving up to Watertown and getting my first job in the fall of 96. So, Jeff Kent and his nearly 2000 (!) plate appearances as a Met? Not one scrap of that in my brain. By the time I started paying attention he was good, and gone

  6. We're dynamic and insightful. Well, except for me, as I started drinking several hours before we recorded. Maybe it still turned out all right.
  7. Frayed Knot wrote: Managers, the honest ones anyway, will admit that they can't tell balls and strikes from the dugout. They get a decent view of high or low but not in and out. It's why arguing B/S calls has long been an automatic ejection for managers, the whole idea of claiming you saw it better from 100 ft away than the ump did while set up behind the catcher is a waste of time. The only exception is when Aaron Boone explains/screams to the HP ump that if his players say it's a ball then it's a ball. They're "savages" in that way. So, yeah, it's good that the dugout won't be involved here. We saw them use this all year up here in the Cuse. It's pretty effective and the decisions are made quickly. Any guesstimate as to percentages of batter challenges vs those from Ps + Cs? I feel like 3/4 of the challenges we saw, at least, were made by batters and not pitchers.

  13. While I'm sure many of you have been enjoying the regular off season content from G-Fafif and company in the National League Town podcast, I'm happy to announce the return of the much beloved (presumably) Mets on Tap podcast for this season, where Ceetar, ABNS, Seawolf and I will be discussing all things both Mets and craft beer related (recording tonight, posting tomorrow morning). Listen/subscribe via normal podcast sources or from our site https://www.barleyprose.com where episodes are also posted
  14. I need a quality 2024 recap so that I can relive it over and over again.

  22. Marcus Stroman, who went 10-9 last year with an ERA of 4.31 and is projected as the MFYs sixth best starter, having a hissy fit already because he's a starter and will not pitch out of the bullpen. I liked him when he wore our colors but he seems like a dick since he left.
  23. Any Mets "golden age" has to include 1969 or 1986 because the other 60+ teams all failed to win the big prize.
