  1. The economics of NIL in the College arena has put me over the edge of late You are going to have roughly a dozen schools signing who they want and a similarish number of MLB teams doing the same The Pirates claimed post hype Giants prospect Marco Luciano SS off waivers over the weekend He may very well stand to start for the Pirates somewhere on opening day. A sad postseason start for the Buccos with this first salvo The Pirates will not be able to sign or develop the talent that would go the longest way in making Skenes and the Pirates competitive in September-October It's all about the money Contracts with Fanduel, Draftkings etc a hammer to further nail in selling the game to big. There are others These issues bother me on a social level as well. Doubt many baseball fans feel the way I do Yadda yadda Bump Revised
  2. Good!
  3. SALARY CAP anyone? It's a different conversation but these handful of MLB teams signing the overwhelming majority of elite talent is terribly unfair to small markets and fans
  4. I would consider Devin Williams elite-ish Jocularity!
  5. I'm hoping Vientos is not our full-time 1B
  6. Baseball lifer. Glad to know he is still alive
  7. This was actually my first thought Benge is in gilded prospect conversations including Bryce Eldridge Walker Jenkins Max Clark etc Carson and Jett struggled at 3A but this doesn't dissuade me about how I feel about both of them today. Big ceiling ready to contribute now guys Semien could be traded by opening day, maybe??
  8. Pastor Nimmo will love it in Texas, no taxes Was likely not a hard sell I'll miss him. He was a good Met
  9. This is what happens when a team underperforms by so much Jett Williams must be happy
  10. The Mets need an old fashioned ace whether by free agency or trade I'd prefer that they spend cash rather than prospects
  11. I gave him a 5 in that no dollar was spared I'm overlooking waiting for Stearns. But I'm not sold on Stearns anyway so it's a convoluted wash
  12. Yes here also
  13. Correa is from Cobra Kai?? I guess the new hitting guy is married to data in all likelihood
  14. Money shouldn't be the fulcrum deciding the issue The fans want Pete, get Pete 5/165 in some creative deal that requires the hair to be restyled
  15. I saw that. For awhile I thought Alonso should leadoff.
  16. Mike Sarbaugh. He pushed runners as if they had his speed
  17. I'm ok with Mendoza coming back but he's got to stop pulling pitchers at the slightest drop in velocity and hard contact If he can't goodbye to him and Hefner
  18. In Bad Lieutenant Keitel has a huge bet on the Mets to win the 1988 NL series vs the Dodgers He's coming out of a stupor to hear Strawberry homer and gets all excited The voice says "that makes the score 10-2 Dodgers"
  19. Machs nichts
  20. Cody Bellinger for CF anyone?
  21. Pirates made it to the 11th, did not expect that
  22. Trillo whiffed Pirates are likely screwed
  23. Josh Hader is the Astros nominee Looking to be rehabilitated
  24. Not much to do short term but win If the Reds win 5 or 6 games they are in The combinations that favor the Mets are a tall order to climb Las Vegas agrees, Odds to get WC3 Reds -185 Mets +140 The Reds are favored almost 2-1 Defensively the Mets seem flat out lethargic. The optics of their effort have not been the best but....... If course the Mets will win 5 or 6 while the Reds fade
  25. I would agree that the Mets need to get younger. McLean Sproat is a great start They played poorly. I am unable to put a finger on one thing It will be interesting in the off-season to see if there was a clubhouse issue This all applies whether they make the tournament or not
