Where is the 2016 Yankees are Assholes Thread?
Ceetar replied to nymr83's topic in New York Mets Talk
Trespassing! [fimg=600:3iyr3amf]http://assets.nydailynews.com/polopoly_fs/1.2700487.1467769356!/img/httpImage/image.jpg_gen/derivatives/article_1200/jeter.jpg[/fimg:3iyr3amf] -
eh, get rid of the challenges all together. Leave it to the umps discretion and let managers argue their case. Supposedly we liked the managers coming out and yelling as it added drama or something, so this way preserves that while still gets the calls right.

Edgy MD wrote: My problem is some thing you read that "fans" said, you end up putting on folks here. I would beg you to stop. Wasn't that Steve's game? Always making an argument against something nobody said, and then under cross examination, confess it was somebody on WFAN he was actually fighting? why am I only allowed to reference people or things said here? Maybe think of my posts as contributing to a conversation rather than part of an inclusive discussion. It's not a fight. There aren't two sides. It's simply a "here's something that I've noticed in the conversation surrounding this Mets topic. It happens to not be true."

far more than just Ashie. anyway, d'Arnaud gets 18.

Edgy MD wrote: I don't need to look up anything, Sarcastico. If you have located an opponent who has advocated the jettisoning of Conforto, please present this person, otherwise, please spare us such arguments. here's an article pondering how Conforto fits into the plans and how. https://86again.wordpress.com/2016/07/04/will-the-mets-clutter-hold-conforto-back/ I exaggerated wishing Conforto into the cornfield, but the article does include "maybe the Mets should start prepping for the Nimmo era" I was simply drawing a comparison about overreacting and making definitive conclusions based on a few handfuls of AB. And it's a common enough theme. highly valued prospect gets called up an fans say "he's here now, you can't sit him." and pencil him into the lineup for the next 9 years. Hell fans were ready to jettison d'Arnaud this spring for Plawecki.

you might want to lookup straw man, because continually pointing out the same fact as evidence piles up is not it.

Wilmer can go back to being a good super-sub like he was late last year. Jesus, Mary, and The Donald you're just brutal sometimes! Just trying not to get ahead of ourselves. Like how Nimmo getting a few hits doesn't mean we can jettison Conforto now.

Benjamin Grimm wrote: Reyes made a bit more sense a week ago, when the team looked pathetic. Now that they look awesome, I'd consider letting Reyes wait a little longer. I mean, it's not like the team changed much from a week ago, and we should be ready for it and really really try to make sure it's not during those four games with the Nats. Wilmer bumped his wRC+ up to almost average with that 6/6 but let's not pretend he's suddenly good. James Loney is a better player. Anything but Rockies Reyes is a better player (And he was definitely accused of not caring in Colorado, after being traded away from contention). Wilmer can go back to being a good super-sub like he was late last year.

Beltran is a Hall of Famer, and if it's not a blank cap, it'll likely be a Mets cap. That has seemingly been the bar for retirement so far.
-
Since i'm on the retire 15 bandwagon, I'd prefer Travis stay at 7 and Reyes gets like, 79 or something.

Any time I go looking for highlights I have to click on each play and wade through 6-10 links to see the big moments. Can't they just recap it for me without making me watch that many commercials first? the app on the phone doesn't have the ads. (I think the videos might be avail in the free version too?)

Featuring the expected return of Jose Reyes.

it's an interesting idea. (I thought it hit a walkway personally) I kinda like the idea of painting EVERY fair territory HR seat/spot with a dab of orange though. It's only been 7 years or so, might end up that HR to that spot aren't as rare as all that, but it is the farthest so far(by a Met, Stanton has a 466 and a 465). But if if one goes farther but doesn't go as high? or is to dead center?

Not the only fish in the sea, but I'm happy we found him. just keep swinging, just keep swinging. wait, what? sorry, I've watched Finding Nemo about a billion times over the last few weeks.

I mean, except for one mistake you're not hitting these out. Familia to righties (via Mark Simon)
-
Familia is a much better pitcher than Benitez, and that's really all there is to it. Familia throws a sinker, Benitez threw a straight fastball. One's prone to squaring up and knocking out of the park, one isn't so much. Also, offensive era. Benitez's 1999, by ERA-, was better than Familia last year. He was much better than average in both postseasons (though I don't know how valid ERA- is in those small samples or how it's calculated) it was really his '97 that was the worst. But Familia was way better. his ERA- is 17. I believe that calculates to 17% of the earned runs of average. (earned being key there. Familia pitched great, it was all Murphy/Duda/etc)
