I know for certain that you and I have not read it. We're all speculating. Adam now claims it escalated to the point where Williams told him he couldn't bring him at all. Which sounds like the escalation of a pissing match. "Adam, let's cut back on Drake's time in the clubhouse. (At least mostly reasonable arguments why it's not in the best interest of anyone)" "No, fuck you. You said I could bring him everyday. *more swear words*" "Oh yeah, well fuck you too, now you can't bring him at all." "I don't have to take this, I quit!" "We're better off without you! You suck!"

As for the last one, I can imagine the Sox management feared that they were setting a bad example and were getting called out, or suspected they might be. Maybe the kid is homeschooled to the gills when he's not at the ballpark. I doubt player rep Adam Eaton has read LaRoche's contract.

The kid is not homeschooled to the gills. Every quote is along the "not big on school" lines. Things like "And maybe some homework if there is time." "As long as he passes his tests when he's present." Kansas' education system isn't looking so good in this situation. I also wonder if Drake would've chosen "Hang out at the park a few times a week, but not be an unofficial member of the team" over "Never be in a major league clubhouse again unless you make it as a pro"

This or Daredevil? The hard choices.

is Snukes, yes.

Eh, they'll be mildly pissed at the owner but I don't think he cares (and that's probably part of the point) and they'll all get back to playing baseball and mostly forget about it. Except maybe the guys that had Drake running errands for them and cleaning spikes. Now they might have to do that themselves.

shoutout to Kansas' education system too, for this being in any way okay.

" Yeah, maybe a teenager shouldn't be spending all of his time in a major league clubhouse and should actually attend school. And on top of that, I can only imagine what the clubhouse would look like if EVERYONE started bringing their kids in every day. "Why does Adam's kid get a whole locker and get to shag fly balls and mine doesn't?"

I think I read that he will appeal, but I'm not sure why the Mets would give him another chance...though I said that after the first and second suspensions. Who knows if/when it happens they'd even technically have rights.

TransMonk wrote: So are Duda and Wright the only guys left that played for the pre-Terry Collins Mets? With Gee, Murph, Parnell, Niese, Mejia and Tejada all gone now, I think so, IIRC. yup. And now Wright's the only to have played at Shea. Well, as a Met anyway.

well, just the one where they make the team worse to save 2.5 million apparently.

He's the best shortstop on the team and I expect him to put up better numbers than the rest of them too. .260/.320/.415 100 wRC+ on the nose. 10 HR. 3 fWAR. 140 games.

technically not this game but I don't think we have a generic spring thread. whatever. in case you aren't listening: Keith Hernandez warning about the dangerous injury risk of long air conditioned bus rides.. Keith Hernandez would like you to know that the Cardinals probably won't shower before the 45 minute ride home.

Yeah, the less I hear from racist ignorant trolls that used to pitch for the Yankees the better. I don't really appreciate Bryce making me like him though. Stop that until you've signed out of the division please.

There's a decent amount to think about. The guys that get the Royals starts will probably get an extra start overall, particularly if you skip someone the first time through given all the days off. I don't know if the Mets would do that, but they could. You could skip Bartolo since he's the only one that's not actually good, to give another start to the others, but Collins likely doesn't do that to the vet. You could, and probably should, skip Matz. He's got options. He's a rookie. He's the only one likely to be on an innings limit. But he's also your only lefty starter. I probably go deGrom, Syndergaard, Harvey, Colon, deGrom, Syndergaard, Matz, Harvey That gives Harvey the first 4-day rest start, Colon the second, and deGrom the third. That takes you to May 4th before anyone has to make a second start on normal rest. Good way to ease into it I think.
