Also, a first class citizen of a first class city against a second class citizen of a first class city. Can you guess which is which? One team's been to the World Series once in 15 years. They happened to win. The other team's been to the World Series once in 15 years, they happened to lose.

might as well go full kitchy if you're going to do it. Have a promotion where a fan races the cart. deck the car out with fireworks, and glitzy LED screens. Have it self driving. Or have it fake-remote controlled and show Mr. Met on the jumbo 'driving' the cart to the mound. might as well go full advertising. besides the obvious 'self driving car by Tesla' advertising. Have a pokemon sit in the drivers seat. Give the cart airplane wings and have a monster on the wing. If you're bringing in a reliever that used to be on the other team swing by their dugout as a joke. Have the car fake break down, billow blue and orange smoke, and make the reliever walk the last twenty feet.

"What, me worry?": The Spring Training Worries Thread

Sounds like Mickey might be pro DH

OT--How the hell does anyone type on a smartphone? You need Barbie doll fingers. It took me 10x as long as it should've to type this post. bigger phone? swype? I always swype but it's not great. I know this makes me an 'old' but I hate typing on the phone. I'll frequently walk over to the computer if i want to reply to a tweet or email.

Asdrubal. Gives way to David Wright who only misses... *sigh* fine. I like his taking his walks with the Mets last year. fluke or dedicated effort? we shall see. .281/.348/.445 good for 3.1 fWAR and a 115 wRC+ Lets' say 155 games. 128 games at second, 14 at third, 9 at SS.

Benjamin Grimm wrote: The argument against it has been mentioned above. It's about the stress on the bullpen. You're the only one who brought up "tradition" and the "win statistic". there's no stress on the bullpen. there are 7+++++ guys in there. you're asking them to pitch like 5 more innings a week. they'll manage. the starters throw 180.

Edgy MD wrote: Ceetar wrote: so it's not tradition or the win statistic that makes you want to single out one pitcher to pitch way more innings. What is it then? Please feel free to respond to what I've written and pretty please stop trying to press upon me what I haven't written. I really don't want to have to type twice. You said it's not common and that you said nothing about tradition. As if that refutes my point somehow, which you have yet to actually refute and I can't even tell if you're trying to refute it. Nothing I wrote was even addressing you specifically until you commented so I'm not really sure what I'm pressing upon you.

Edgy MD wrote: the tradition is hard baked into the rules as per the useless Win statistic. It's wasn't baked into my argument. Neither is the win statistic, which I've long considered grossly misleading. so it's not tradition or the win statistic that makes you want to single out one pitcher to pitch way more innings. What is it then? Edgy MD wrote: would you prefer logically sense?statistical sense? Run scoring is up, fresh relievers perform better than third time through starters, especially non-aces. Aim the pitchers best suited to getting outs at the best run scoring opportunities. I'd prefer whatever the facts demonstrably support. The term "logically sense" doesn't even make grammatical sense. so pretend I said statistical sense then.

Benjamin Grimm wrote: I wouldn't stick with the starter out of "tradition", but to avoid asking the bullpen for five innings several times a week. I think 7-8 (with plenty of swapping up and down from Vegas) can handle say 25 innings a week if need be.

It would result in too many four-inning starts and more overuse of the bullpen. Or "many fourth -inning starts and heavy use of the bullpen." May I posit that perhaps you guys are uncomfortable with this because you're not yet comfortable with this? I'd say that many aren't comfortable with the amount of bullpen already. for decades. but yeah, it's only "over" use if it's not planned use. this would be planned heavier use and a design of having guys that throw innings 5-6-7 or 5-6.

Secretly back to golf by the All Star Break. .282/.348/.530 in 142 games. 35 home runs (4 off of Strasburg, who goes on the DL after two of them). Bats third mostly. 1 walk off. 4 stolen bases. drives in three on the first pitch he sees in the World Series.

I mean, one organization hasn't won a playoff series since 2001 and has recently had executives banned from baseball. They're the smart one right?

Benjamin Grimm wrote: I think you misread me. I certainly wasn't saying that injuries never turn out to be minor. My "when has that ever happened" was a sarcastic reference to injuries becoming more serious than first reported. yes. I find it a tiresome meme personally.

Benjamin Grimm wrote: And if deGrom starts the fourth or fifth game of the season instead of the first or second, it's no big deal at all. We just have to hope that this doesn't turn out to be more serious than they're saying. (When has that ever happened?). a billion times. it's the norm, but you instantly forget when it doesn't become more serious because it doesn't become more serious. deGrom's already saying his side session went fine and he doesn't see any reason why he wouldn't be ready to go.

John Cougar Lunchbucket wrote: Mickey sez JdG needs 5 starts to be ready for OD. Daily Snooze says in order to get 5 starts he needs to begin no later than this Sunday. Sunday's start rests on how his scheduled throwing session goes this week. Sure but if he starts Tuesday he can start 4/1 instead of Opening Day. Or they can decide he's good to go but they'll limit him to 85 pitches for his first start of the season.

Also probably more wins.

I don't expect him to closer by committee much and I actually doubt we'll see much of Familia in the 7th. You need multiple good pitchers and there's a reasonable shot if you're facing the big guns in the 7th they loom in the 9th as well. So use Ramos then if he's the second best guy. I think you'll see that more, the second best guy coming in earlier than the 8th. Or Familia coming in in the 8th if that's when Harper is up, kind of thing, and then finishing it out, or if he taxes himself in the 9th someone else getting the 9th. or Blevins starting the 9th if it's a lefty heavy thing. Or
