That's what he needs to do to stick. He's not going to play every day, so he needs to show where his value lies, which is in Gold Glove-level defense and (hopefully, still, at 30) relatively elite speed.

I somehow entirely missed this until today, but I'm into it. Wearing a veteran number (16), too. Good sign, but he's Syracuse-bound, most likely.

“Right now we are still 3 ½ weeks away, so a lot can happen,” Nimmo said I'm telling you, give Max Scherzer a box of syringes and let him just sidle up to guys in the clubhouse and give them the jab.

Dom hit two long home runs to right off Max this morning, as per some videos SNY shared on Facebook. That is *really* encouraging.

That's no setbacks. Lefty Specialist Apr 26 2022 07:37 AM Re: Extending deGrom I still bet he doesn't throw a major league pitch this season. There'll be some rehab starts and he'll get shut down for one reason or another. Rinse and repeat. Benjamin Grimm Apr 26 2022 08:21 AM Re: Extending deGrom Or two innings in late September, like Syndergaard last year. The Hot Corner Apr 26 2022 08:50 PM Re: Extending deGrom Wow, I thought I was the only pessimist regarding expectations for DeGrom. I expect whatever innings the Mets get from DeGrom this season will be of elite quality, but I just don't expect those innings to be very numerous. Marshmallowmilkshake Apr 30 2022 12:15 PM Re: Extending deGrom Well, this explains a lot. Jacob is going to be this year's Hallmark baseball ornament. I swear, whoever gets picked for a Hallmark ornament is cursed.

Brad Hand was a Met?

I'm not available until 9:30 at the absolute earliest on Wednesday nights - that's the night I host quiz.

You know, I wasn't sold on Kershaw before the lockout, but HOLY SHIT deGrom/Scherzer/Kershaw/Walker would be something.

I swear to fucking fuck, MLB. CUT IT THE FUCK OUT.

Love Coheed. They're playing up here next weekend, actually.

You have to shorten the season if you're adding playoff teams, right? Or else they'll be playing into December.

I've never openly hated (the business of) baseball the way I do right now. I don't even know how to express my displeasure outside of a few angry tweets, either, because I don't subscribe to any of their services (outside of cable, I guess), and I'm not a corporate partner or season ticket holder, so they literally DGAF what I think. So I guess I put my baseball energy into the Red Wings and support the hell out of the AAA team. Got my opening day tickets.

In that case, heck, give her a spring training invite and see what she's got.

I wonder how much of this is "we need to talk about SOMETHING" rather than actual news.

Conforto absolutely, unquestionably makes this team better in 2022.

Nope, rookie card was 1978 Topps.

I really like Stro too, and still do. He's probably right, honestly. His beef is with the org, not with the fans. But who likes their boss, really?

I could not possibly love this more than I already do. Brilliant work.

=metsmarathon post_id=86002 time=1645190273 user_id=83] what really pisses me off if the reporting that if harvey signs somewhere, he's going to get popped with a 60-day suspension. for being open and honest in a criminal trial that put to jail a dude who was responsible for killing a player. and after baring his soul to show his inner demons. like, fucking hell. embrace this man, get him the help he needs. and if anything, go to him and help him to help other players who might be in the same place that he was. don't fucking punish him three years after the fucking fact. that's bullshit. if you want this shit out of your league and out of your clubhouses, grant him immunity, and grant anyone who openly comes clean the same. and then get them help. otherwise, mlb will have failed matt harvey twice.

Everything about this story makes me sad, from top to bottom.

I am super excited for this year's design, especially after last year's was such a mass. Haven't seen them in the wild yet, but they usually show up on Fridays. I bought into a break on The Bench too.

I *love* the keeper-league aspect of this, because it requires you to really think about what you value and how much it's worth to your budget. And I love the categories and how middle relievers and bit players still have some value. The day-to-day of it can, admittedly, be a bit much for me, and I'll go for a few days forgetting to set my lineup.

BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

This is AWESOME news. Between this and the GKR bobbleheads, this is the first time I'm regretting moving so far away. (And look, I hated Daniel Murphy as much as the next guy once he left and homered in every at-bat against us, but anyone who boos ANYONE that night gets shot out of a cannon into the sun.)
