  1. Just as ugly in person, friends. Plus, it was cold as fuck. What a miserable night. At least Blue Smoke was good.
  2. I'll be in 537 if anyone is around.

The deeper the park, the better. Bandboxes stink. The smaller the park, the more it makes bad hitters look good, without proportionately making good hitters better. Bingo. The mid-80s Cardinals: Coleman, McGee, Van Slyke left to right. Coleman obviously got worse in the field through the years, but McGee and Van Slyke were the real deals. And they averaged 30 triples a year between them.
  5. =Ceetar post_id=6272 time=1554334525 user_id=102] it's the exit velocity, whether or not that translates to reduced offense. It's not necessarily a problem, but if the Mets could figure out what was causing it, maybe they'd be able to tap into a bit of a home field advantage.
  6. Benjamin Grimm wrote: They really have a lot of guys whose name ends with an O. Six in today's lineup. Maybe one day I'll use the UMDB to see what the record is for most same-ending-letter-names in one starting lineup. And they're so close to eight with Broxto and deGro.
  7. Nimmo in the lineup. Guess that means he's good to go.
  8. He'll pick up 75 AB as the starter in mid-summer, but other than that, a capable if unimpressive backup.
  9. And apparently, from the same draft, Akeel Morris is a High Point Rocker, where he'll join pitching coach Frank Viola: http://atlanticleague.com/about/press-releases/?article_id=1168http://atlanticleague.com/about/press-releases/?article_id=1168
  10. Y'all know we're only three days into the season, right? And we took two out of three from a key division rival? I think we can cool out a bit.
  11. =smg58 post_id=5561 time=1553865631 user_id=62] The biggest error bars of anybody on the team. If he keeps the ball in the park, he could be our fourth ace. Or he could give up home runs like last year and be less good/lucky at getting himself out of trouble. Hoping for the former, obviously, but don't ask me to make a bet on it.
  12. A somehow unremarkable 15-4, 3.55, until he pitches a shutout in Game 4 of the WS.
  13. =Centerfield post_id=5420 time=1553795994 user_id=65] What happened? It says Robles doubled off in a rundown.
  14. 1068. Pete Alonso
  15. [YOUTUBE]xh4ci5-63YI[/YOUTUBE]
  16. The old one went to the Great Old Forum Archive In The Sky, so I figured we might as well prep this for this afternoon. 1064. Bobby Wahl 8/2/2018 1065. Jack Reinheimer 8/15/2018 1066. Daniel Zamora 8/17/2018 1067. Eric Hanhold 9/4/2018
  17. It's much smaller in there than you think. About the size of a studio apartment, though, so it might work.

  19. BVW: David Wright helped come up with the deal structure "Here's the structure, Brodie. Give the guy the fuckin' money."
  20. =nymr83 post_id=5160 time=1553646753 user_id=54] He signed the contract so fuck off. Correct personnel decision too.
  21. =41Forever post_id=5128 time=1553628015 user_id=69] I'd almost rather lock up Syndergaard first. I don't want Wheeler to walk, but he had a fantastic half season. There's plenty of time to talk to him.
  22. I kind of love "a Kranepool of Mets." Speaks to the longest-tenured Met, who played with everybody; I like the "pool" imagery, too.

Unless he's still just fucking torching the league, then go, Jake, go. Totally. If he's in a position to seriously consider opting out at that point, we've got at least one division title under our belts, hopefully more.
  24. =Ceetar post_id=4954 time=1553529635 user_id=102]Too honest? Makes the Mets uncomfortable? fuck 'em. I have no sympathy for management when the workers voice dissatisfaction with the schedule when asked.
