  1. I really wanted this game to be competitive.
  2. I love that we have a reporter at the game.
  3. Benjamin Grimm wrote: You also overlooked Teddy Martinez. I remember that! That was in the 1971 offseason "positions by confidence" thread. Man, the Pool was so different back then. Can't even find that thread in the archives.
  4. Tempted to go with one of the sexy spiders, but the dog spider is their best bet.
  5. "What do I have to do, CF?"
  6. I am as excited for this as I have been for anything since the end of baseball season.

  8. I'd give that guy five years, $100 million. And in the late 19th century, that would have been an AMAZING amount of money.

Some things I'd just rather not know. And yet... fuckin' hell, kids. This was a guy who seemingly had everything... and yet, the drugs won. If I'm Dwight Gooden, I'm thanking my lucky stars I didn't buy a boat in 1986.

Hansel Robles, as fate would have it, also pitched exactly 77 2/3 innings. Struck out one more batter than Familia. That's neat. I hadn't noticed that.

You'd be able to rest guys and still get them one given AB, or guys that are aching would still be able to at least get an AB every day. I think this pushes the expected value of those AB higher. You know? I'm doing something like that this season with my OOTP team. It's 2033, and I've got four starting outfielders: two 28yo "prime career" guys who have some holes (one's a K machine and the other can't field), a 42yo "team leader" vet, and an "old" 32yo who's still productive but on the decline. I have three more or less reliable starting pitchers, and on the days when my 4/5 guys throw, I'm going to the pen before they become ineffective and using my extra outfielder to double-switch in one of my decent middle relievers for a few innings. Of course, computer baseball ain't real baseball. But still.

Chad Ochoseis wrote: My old college roommate - a native Clevelander and Indians fan now living in the DC area - just called me to say his wife has to work and can't make the trip to Cleveland to go to Game 7 with him. So I'm getting her ticket. If the Indians are up 3-2 after game 5, my rooting interest for Game 6 has now become seriously conflicted. DUDE. You HAVE to root for the Cubs in that spot. No question. It's GAME SEVEN. That's awesome.

  16. Vic Sage wrote: i agree they'll be tendered... probably. And i think they should be. But they each have injury issues, or positional issues, or production issues (or all 3), so i can't say that each of them is a mortal lock (on a par with deGrom). It depends on if the Mets make trades or sign FAs, or need to save $$ and/or a roster spot. Agree - I'm just saying it'd have to be something extraordinary for the Mets to just let them go for nothing. I could see them trading any or all of them, however.
  17. these guys will probably be tendered: 1B Lucas Duda: $4.2M / $6.7M IF Wilmer Flores: $520K / $1.9M C Travis d’Arnaud: $540K / $1.7M LHP Josh Edgin: $500K / $800K I'd call Lucas a probably but I'd be pretty darn surprised if either of Flores or d'Arnaud are allowed to walk. Edgin is a probably not although, as mentioned, it's essentially minimum wage+ so maybe so, and even then you could probably bargain him down to $742,273.50 plus a reserved parking space at Port St Lucie. Yeah, this. I'd be stunned to see them let Wilmer or Travis go for nothing.
  18. Gotta follow @TodayIn86Mets tonight!
  19. If this is really the case, then I have a hard time with them giving him AFL at-bats. You're telling me there's NOBODY in the system who could use this level of competition? Come on.
  20. Not necessarily. Make the offer now. If he's not interested, wish him the best and send him on his way.
  21. I'm a no. Not coming off an injury. Settle for a two-year, $25M kind of deal? Maybe.

The pain the Nats have inflicted is more recent. If they both couldn't lose, this was the lesser of two evils and I still hat myself. I will ask for forgiveness next Yom Kippur. Go Cubs! Later I was kind of rooting for the Dodgers here too, for the same reasons. And now I have to root for the Cubs, which sucks too. Thankfully, we can all just root for whoever comes out of the AL.
  23. WIN IT FOR ANYBODY LIKE MAYBE ANYBODY ON THIS BOARD JUST PICK ONE OF US AND THEN WIN IT
  24. WIN IT FOR TERRY
