    This is a cool but random stat that Gelbs just posted: What a nugget from the great Sarah Langs: Last night, A.J. Ewing became the 19th player with multiple walks and a stolen base in his MLB debut (since the modern SB rule was adopted in 1898). The last player to do that? Carson Benge on Opening Day. It’s the first season that has happened multiple times in the majors since 1904, when Sam Woodruff and Miller Huggins both did it for Cincinnati.

    RF Benge SS Bichette LF Soto 1B Vientos DH Melendez 3B Baty 2B Semien CF Ewing C Alvarez Peralta on the bump.

    Does Ewing look like Al Leiter here? A little bit? I can't unsee it.
  4. seawolf17
    And Ewing will wear 9, sez SNY.

    Andy Ibanez and his .000 / .000 / .000 stat line are DFAed to make room.

    Yeah, I love these kinds of signings. Someone's gotta play these games, and it's fun to see guys get the call to MLB affiliated organizations.
  7. seawolf17
    Yeah, let's go. Time for the youth movement. It'll be ugly at times, but give us something to look forward to!
  8. seawolf17
    Agree with those who think we don't need any special recognition.

    Also, Mets on getaway days in 2026: 2-7. The two wins were the last game in San Fran back when we were good, and the last one in Anaheim or wherever the Angels technically call home now.

    I forgot to assume that some combination of Peterson and Manaea are "following."

    Looks like we've got Huascar Brazoban "opening" (this will never not be stupid) against lefty Eduardo Rodriguez. Rodriguez whooped us at Citi Field last month, in game two of the famous Twelve Game Losing Streak That Ruined Everything. No lineups posted as of press time.
  12. seawolf17
    Huh.
  13. seawolf17
    He had a remarkable track record of success. He won 99 games in his last season with the Jays in 1985, too, before moving back to Atlanta to build that team.

    We knew this team was all "ifs" coming into the season. What's sucked is that EVERY one of the "ifs" collapsed in the first two weeks. But in Cow's defense, I did read a bunch of opening day stories that had us as one of the top three teams in the league. So maybe not that huge, and maybe not in places like this where we know better, but there were definitely expectations. I also had to google Rafael Ortega to make sure Cow didn't make him up.
  15. seawolf17
    Yeah, the Kimbrel Era should be over.

    I mean, Scott was almost tongmcleanesque with our excitement in 2024. Dude came in very hot, then got hurt, unfortunately. He got called up last minute, was a little jumpy, and couldn't throw strikes the first time out. He's still a work in progress, but he's definitely something.

    "Am I right in thinking there's no talent on this team?" "Um... no." "Then there is someone talent on this team?" "Sorry, I said 'no' meaning 'yes'." "'No' meaning 'yes'? Look, I want a straight answer, is there talent, or isn't there, yes, or no?" "No." "No there is, or no there isn't?" "Yes."
  18. seawolf17
    Idiot.
  19. seawolf17
    I mean, he *is* our best OBP guy. And he stole a ton of bases last year. I like it.
  20. seawolf17
    Yeah, the turn of the millennium was a wild time for baseball cards.
  21. seawolf17
    However...
  22. seawolf17
    So Melendez is good enough to bat third, but also bad enough that we absolutely have to pinch-hit for him late in the game against a lefty, no matter what happens. Got it.
  23. seawolf17
    I wonder about this too, actually. I mean, it's a bridge you're going to have to cross when Lindor comes back, but if it gets him comfortable and gets his bat moving, then yeah, let's go.

    My first year in radio was spent in a tiny radio booth in downtown Rochester, plugging in local commercials during the MFY simulcasts in the summer and fall of 1996. Every game was absolute torture, as you might imagine. But I know how I felt when Bob Murphy died, so I totally understand MFY fans who are feeling it today.
  25. seawolf17
    This obsession with pinch-hitting for Melendez needs to stop.
