  1. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AwYu5Jk2OPohttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AwYu5Jk2OPo this is very well done. Though I suspect it's also the kind of thing that will hasten the ABS plans.
  2. what a strange career Lucchesi has had. Not much was ever expected but he always managed to contribute a little in moments, but never enough to establish himeself in a role. Hope he's put his $ away as I fear there's no more then minor league deals with invitiation to spring training for him from now on.
  3. tylor mcgill's only game so far was the one I caught in Citifield! the 6.10 time is nice because I will be able to catch the first few innings before midnight!Β±

  5. Find it hard to believe the outfield is going to be playable or is that covered in some shape or form
  6. This was the game we were at. Result didn't play ball but it was an entertaining go round. Didn't know what the catcher interference was at the time it was happening - umpires were clear as mud.. Park was great - such a remove from the old Shea : we did have lovely seats just behind the mets dugout.
  7. As someone who's been in the city and then had to get cab out to JFK I can not believe there is any hope of this happening.
  8. quick thing. Going to purchase tickets for the Sunday game shortly and the tickets on SeatGeek seem a decent bit cheaper then those on the mets.com - even with their horrendous fees and charges. Any experiences with any of the re-sellers?
  9. Jon Singleton. Was only for $10 million; but he struggled with depression and marajuana abuse issues …
  10. =nymr83 post_id=147458 time=1708483280 user_id=54] Has there ever been a long term deal for a pre arb player that didn't turn ok for the club? These seem pretty low risk edit: Immediately after posting this I remembered Wandor Franco. So I'll revise the question: Has there been a long term pre-arb deal that didn't work out ok for the club just lookingat on-field performance?
  11. I liked this one - a pleasant smattering of mets including one of my favourite rare ones in Desi Relaford - but wish I'd saved him for the Rockies as I'm sure he'd have done a damn sight better for me then Vinny Castilla! [attachment=0]Screenshot 2024-02-13 at 10.14.01.png[/attachment]
  12. =nymr83 post_id=145747 time=1706066541 user_id=54] Jose Reyes got exactly the number of votes he deserved. Glad that Wright gets to stick around another year. I don't think he is a hall of famer but I like talking about him! Beltran was a better player than Andruw Jones, but the trash cans are always going to be a factor. You know else were better players (who played center field) Jim Edmonds and Kenny Lofton. Neither got in.

Damp and windy. So the ability to get into a club can be important. The Promenade club is difficult to watch a game from. What's need for the club - separate purchase or diff grade of seat; not remarkably price sensitive but y'know not crazy
  15. Hello Right- so I'm bringing the kids and the mrs to New York for Easter - and one of the deals is that we get to go to a game, Obviously it's opening weekend so it'll be busy or we could go to the the Monday night game. However, I think the Saturday/Sunday afternoon games vs the Brewers would be best, but do we know when f'ing ESPN pick their Sunday night games - can't see us being the hot ticket but then maybe some Stearns narrative might pique their interest. Anyway, since it's probably the only time the 14 & 11 year old will go I wouldn't mind the "ball park experience" being good - so what sorta seats to do we need to get for that ?

  18. Frayed Knot wrote: That female athletes get ACL (and similar) tears at a greater rate than males is statistically true (at least in some studies, mostly involving basketball IIRC). Whether the basic leg structure is The reason or simply A reason is speculation, but it certainly rings true to me. It definitely is true at 'top level' women's football (soccer) - though the theory's are far and wide - I think the one that makes most sense to me is that by and large women are going through a very similar set of training structures at the top level of football as the men do and that fails to take into account some simple physiological differences - stuff like hips etc as you detail - and therefore we should be shaping their training slightly differently to take that stuff into account and make their legs less susceptible, rather then the current programme which could be making them develop their physique in such a way as to make them actually 'more' susceptible as while it works for men it does not work as well for women.
  19. Edgy MD wrote: . Anecdotally, I think of blown ACLs as more common in amateur soccer than the pros, so maybe, but what do I know? But it's certainly not crazy to think that more rest over the winter would have made this less likely to happen in spring. I'm pretty sure they're not that common in amateur football, I've been playing for almost 30 seasons and know of 1/2 teammates at most. Where they have become incredibly common is in elite women's football, and there's definitely something that coaches, sports scientists and physios need to figure out https://www.skysports.com/amp/football/news/11095/12926431/future-of-football-why-acl-injuries-have-been-on-rise-in-womens-game-and-the-technology-and-solutions-to-fix-it https://www.skysports.com/amp/football/news/11095/12926431/future-of-football-why-acl-injuries-have-been-on-rise-in-womens-game-and-the-technology-and-solutions-to-fix-it

I was racking my brain and had a few that I didn't want to risk for fear of making it look ugly as I so liked the metsian bits. Annoyed that I didn't use Mike Hampton for the sliver slugger though, but having said that thinking about him for the Sliver Slugger lead me to thinking of the Bumgarner one.

There was some other slugger that I had an over active eagerness for too which I'm trying to recall. And then I somehow remembered Mel Rojas was a met after putting in Grandy and was annoyed about it and then I figured he wasn't from USA and went from there. My knowledge of the Angels is very poor. <ATTACHMENT[attachment=0]Screenshot 2023-11-27 at 11.58.25.jpg[/attachment]>
