  1. I'll take the Insert City Here A's this weekend.
  2. Brenly has to be one. A few thoughts from the Arizona game notes file: DBacks have been okay, all things considered. We've both given up only 19 ER so far. Former Mets coming home: James McCann (0-0, 45.00 ERA in one inning pitched, plus he also serves as their backup catcher) Paul Sewald (0-1, 4.50, three saves) Surprise! Nolan Arenado is a DBack. So is Carlos Santana across the diamond. They're both old and terrible now. Corbin Carroll is the only guy in the lineup you really worry about these days. DBacks won 2 of 3 at Citi last year. Weds: Ryne Nelson (0-1, 5.79) vs Peterson Thurs: Eduardo Rodriguez, their ace (0.00) vs McLean Gallen has held the Mets to a .188 average, which is the best among all active starting pitchers vs the Mets since 2019.
  3. I thought they should have done that with 42 rather than retiring it sport-wide. Players should be honored with it as a tribute for their work.
  4. NIschwitz is an interesting character too. His baseball coaching HOF page says he "ended his career as a player and coach with the New York Mets," but I don't see verification of that anywhere, and he's not listed on any Mets coaching list that I can find. He spent 30 years coaching Wright State's baseball team, which is quite a tenure.
  5. As many of you know, I'm still very much a baseball card junkie, and I recently picked up two cards from the 1981 TCMA "The 60s" set of two guys I'd never even heard of: Ronnie Paul (left) and Don Wilkinson (right). Weird that in 1981 they thought enough of their careers to include them as Mets in a set that included plenty of actual Mets. Paul was drafted by the Mets in the second round in June 1966 and went 17-4, 1.84 in A-ball in 1967 but never made it past AAA. Wilkinson spent most of his career in the Angels system, was drafted in the Rule V draft by the Mets for 1967, but didn't break camp with the team and was sent back to California. Also had decent AAA numbers, but never made it to the bigs. (The back of Wilkinson's card says he "signed with the Mets in 1964," but that does not appear to be the case.) Also in this set as a Met is Ron Nischwitz, who actually pitched for Detroit and Cleveland but is for some reason has a Met photo on the front despite being listed as a Tiger on the back. Cards are neat.
  6. Unless there's some risk of losing Melendez because you'd have to send him through waivers when Soto gets back, I'm a little confused by this also.
  7. I don't know how these threads always work, but they do.
  8. We've mentioned the rules in every mis-started IGT. But alas. 🤣
  9. Melendez and Morabito were both in the lineup in Syracuse today, and they're the only other OFers on the 40. So whatever happens, it won't be tonight and they'll play down a guy.
  10. Or it's bad and they're just hoping to stall long enough that we'll just forget he was on the team.
  11. Eh, maybe that's what we need to wake up the bats.
  12. Also I need someone to send me one of those souvenir cups.
  13. It's the Jimmie Schaffer Episode!
  14. 1296. Luke Weaver 1297. Devin Williams
  15. Soto not running that one out felt ugly. Come on, fellas. Get it together.
  16. I know it feels like Lindor is hitting .150 on May 1 every year and still winds up getting MVP votes by the end, but crikey.
  17. Looks like he's leading the AL in stolen bases with two, so there's that. 2-12, 3 runs scored.
  18. We've had it here in AAA for a few seasons now, and I enjoy it. It takes away a little bit of the human element, yeah, but it's not intrusive.
  19. Wait, our Dom Smith is a Brave now? Shit.
  20. I hear a new "Memories of Lovelady" thread warming up in the CPF bullpen.
  21. We'll have to get another home and home on the schedule.
  22. Erasmo Ramirez seems like a good dude. His wife's posts seem to show up in my feed a lot, showing what life is like for baseball families.
  23. I think they really want folks to take public transit, and I don't disagree. Problem is that the trains aren't convenient for anyone outside of the five boroughs or northern Nassau County.
  24. This feels good. I like this feeling.
