    Of the two, I would prefer a reasonable "salary floor" so that teams have to at least make some effort to be competitive. Floor/Ceiling it doesn't matter the cost of MLB attendance will continue to skyrocket.
  2. The Hot Corner
    I would go with a platoon of Jared Young vs RHP and Vientos vs. LHP at least until either Polanco returns. It is sink or swim time for Vientos. Clifford needs to put the ball in play more. Striking out 40% of the time (at AAA no less) isn't going to cut it. A Rob Deer/Joey Gallo type hitter isn't going to do much to turn this team around. The Mets already have far to many hitters that are struggling to hit .225 or better.

    I'm going to go with Juan Soto since he seems to hit HRs against virtually everyone at some point and time.
  4. The Hot Corner
    Never in doubt. 🤪
  5. The Hot Corner
    Walking the bases loaded. You can almost feel the hammer getting ready to drop.
  6. The Hot Corner
    Now he walks the second batter. Need a GIDP here.
  7. The Hot Corner
    Leadoff walk brings the tying run to the plate for the Reds in the 9th.
  8. The Hot Corner
    I don't recall seeing a batter challenging 2 consecutive pitches. Sal Stewart got the first pitch right, but the second was much closer and just nicked the bottom of the zone. Then Weaver froze him with a fast ball on the inner corner.

    Command is one of my concerns regarding Tong. He has walked 24 hitters in 28 innings at Syracuse this season. That leads to the high pitch count we are seeing today and makes him have to pitch behind in the count too much.
  10. The Hot Corner
    Semien rips a hard line drive, but gets robbed on a nice grab by De La Cruz. Wagaman hit his hard shot where no one was going to rob him.
  11. The Hot Corner
    Tong appears to have a lower arm slot & release point than last season. That should give him more arm side run on his 4-seam and change up.
  12. The Hot Corner
    Well our offense (Soto) strikes for an early Mets lead.
  13. The Hot Corner
    I am going to give tonight's game a try to see how Tong looks. I am not convinced he is the real deal (at least at present). First he needs better command so he isn't walking so many batters and pitching behind in the count. I am concerned that he basically a 2 pitch pitcher in that 86% of his pitchers are either 4-seam fastball (62%) or change (25%). He has a that he throws almost exclusively to right handed batters. He has a cutter for a 4th option but it accounts for only 3-4% of his pitches. So for left handed hitters, he is basically 4-seamer up or change up down. It will be interesting to see how he fairs. The Mets really need him to be good (very good).
  14. The Hot Corner
    That's the problem I see.
  15. The Hot Corner
    Nice to have you back.
  16. The Hot Corner
    I just click on <Go to topic listing in the lower left corner of the screen, after the last post which takes me back to the front page of the Sub-Forum (i.e. non-baseball forum) you are currently in. It doesn't look like a tab, just the words. I hope this helps.

    Great book! I have enjoyed several fine books by Nathaniel Philbrick, I did not know that Heart of the Sea hd been made into a movie.
  18. The Hot Corner
    Results wise, he looks a lot like Morabito.
  19. The Hot Corner
    I think he is down the right field line. At the start of the broadcast he was talking of how he could really watch the play of the first baseman and pitchers from his vantage point.
  20. The Hot Corner
    I think Torrens picked the wrong pitch to challenge.
  21. The Hot Corner
    Well, Soto is pretty good. Unfortunately, he is pretty much the Mets offense.
  22. The Hot Corner
    The Reds hit yet another rope against Peterson. He then fails to back up the play at the plate, which allows Stephenson to advance to third with no outs.
  23. The Hot Corner
    His numbers will be a little less respectable after tonight. You could hang laundry on all the line drives the Reds have hit off Peterson today.
  24. The Hot Corner
    Weak ground out to short and Peterson escapes a big jam. Now can the Mets put a ball in play against Burns?
  25. The Hot Corner
    Peterson doesn't have it tonight. He either walks the hitters or they get a hit. Now down 2-0 with bases loaded, a weak ground ball to Peterson leads to a 1-2-3 DP. Now Peterson needs to close this inning out.
