A Boy Named Seo wrote: I remember paying $45 or something for '99 Game 1 NLDS tix (Fonzie grand slam game) and it was like a markup from like $18 bucks and they were decent. LA stubhub tix start at $47 to get in top corner of the upper tank. My friends are willing to go to $150. hashtag sports. Jeez. I believe I paid $50 for the NLCS in '99. 2006 NLDS game 2, Loge Reserved, section 4, row J were $55 each. 2006 LCS HOME GAME 4 UR section 4 row Q 5-8 were $75 each. in 2008 MR 33 Row 'P' were $57 after fees. you purchase tickets for HOME GAME 1, or HOME GAME 3.

Logan Verrett vs Alec Asher Mets look for win #90, try to get closer to locking up home field for the NLDS. Weather.com has Philadelphia with a few early showers but the game should be fine.

I'm not really objecting to his bona fides, not really something I concern myself about. It just feels to me as alone the same vein as Kevin James shouting Lets Go Mets on the video board.(And when the Mets lose, the typical WFAN rant) I feel like it's "going viral" mostly because he's a local comedian more than it's interesting Mets stuff.

dinosaur jesus wrote: My schadenfreude is directed mostly against Harper and Papelbon. Actually Harper; Papelbon is a bigger asshole than Harper will ever be, but he's never really been on my asshole radar before. Harper aside, I actually kind of like the Nationals. I like that there's a team in DC (no offense, Montreal), I like their uniforms, I like that Davey Johnson who managed them when they first got good. I'm delighted, of course, that they fell apart so spectacularly this year, but it's nothing personal. I'm just the opposite. I like Harper, the rest is whatever.

I can't afford the 3x markup that's currently floating around for NLDS tickets. Maybe if they pop out a second chance drawing. Or if we both win to the NLCS.

I'm not sure why he should bother me so much. He never did anything to me. I'm not a real big fan. I think it's the fake 'man of the people' feel to it. Put it on your website/blog. Making a 'impromptu' video and posting it to Facebook and trying to pass it off as just another fan but listen to me (like anyone would if he wasn't already famous*) He did go to my high school though. A decade or so before me and a decade or so after Steve Buschemi.

Benjamin Grimm wrote: If Tuesday or Wednesday get rained out, then yes, I'd expect a doubleheader on Thursday. But if Thursday gets rained out, I don't expect that the Mets would be forced to return to Philadelphia for a makeup game next Monday. It'd be such a farce for that game too, worse than awarding the Dodgers home field with a half game lead. Of course, you'd start Harvey that day and then you'd have both deGrom and Harvey lined up to pitch in the NLDS on normal 4 days rest.

Mr. Hernandez remained at the hotel bar. The international airlines booked the same hotel as the ballplayers. �It was always Air France, and their stewardesses would come down to the bar for pops.� He shrugged. �You could call that my education.� Good post.

Edgy MD wrote: I wonder if they made any attempts to trade him last night. The Angels (for instance) could use a week's worth of an All-Star closer. But he probably hasn't cleared waivers. doubt it, better off trying to trade in the offseason with more time and clubs to deal with.

meanwhile Paps officially suspended for 7 games (the original 3+ 4 for this incident) and Matt Williams is 90 minutes late for his pre-game press conference.

Benjamin Grimm wrote: They should let Uribe sit until October 8 and then reevaluate him. No need to put him in a game at all for the rest of the regular season. Except then he'd be super rusty and it's not like he's a superstar anyway. He's been average (literally 101 OPS+) for the Mets. He's very replaceable so if he's not healthy and ready to go, sorry he's not going.

Edgy MD wrote: That puzzled me too. Apparently it's erstwhile Savannah Sand Gnats manager Jos� Leger, who has been an unpublicized September addition to the Mets coaching corps. Happened mid last week I think. They made him dress up too? cruel!

Frayed Knot wrote: But as Gary pointed out today, he's got good numbers against Adrian Gonzalez and he's the biggest (only?) Dodger LHB threat. As a result, Niese could wind up being nothing more than a super-specialist here - at least in the first round. Turner has reverse splits, Ethier is lefty, Grandal is both but a little bit worse from the left side. Pederson is lefty. Those are the top 5 qualifying Dodger lefties. New stud Seager is lefty too. While Niese might not translate as a LOOGY specifically, the lineup's lefty enough that he should be a good choice for 2-3 innings. Also why I favor Matz over Colon.

Gwreck wrote: Good job, Diamondbacks. Only a half-game back. Home field advantage in the first round - in addition to just being beneficial to the Mets - also means that games 1 and 2 at Citi Field would be on a Friday and a Saturday. Just generally more convenient all around. not really, Saturday's my anniversary. difficult!

The whole concept is in flux, stats are tough! Here's a more recent article with a leaderboard. http://www.beyondtheboxscore.com/2015/7/5/8893867/cubs-giants-pirates-catcher-framing-revisited It's not quite an exact science for figuring out value, but the data all backs it up, guys that are good framers are consistently getting calls. This isn't just random umpire-sucks luck. 50 runs seems like it might be high, looks like the best guys are getting closer to 25ish for a full season. Still, that's more than 2 wins just on framing.

d'Kong76 wrote: Umps got 47 pitches wrong, it doesn't support that he framed them. If it does, you'll have to explain it me. Slowly, please. Because all the data supports the idea of framing over umpire 'error'. But technically they're all umpire error, it's the REASON behind the error. The catcher has the ability to make the umpire err. nymr83 provided a link to an article that has two gifs. With roughly the same pitch thrown to the same umpire. The two catchers in question are ranked first and last in pitch framing from that time period, so this is meant to highlight the difference. These pitches are both in roughly the same spot. The pitcher hit the spot in both cases, meaning the catcher expected the ball right there. lefty batter. righty pitcher. Almost every variable the same except catcher. One is called a ball, the other a strike.

d'Kong76 wrote: That's pretty fancy! Who or what determines what an extra strike is? I said I wasn't going to flog, but but I think it's a lot of horse hockey and not as important as some media types, fans, etc. think it is. Let's get an ex-ump on here and see what he has to say about how pitch framing affected his game! Pitch F/X says. They have extremely accurate cameras that can tell you what's a strike, plus can even tell you how often a pitch in a spot gets called a strike.

d'Kong76 wrote: More currently, I'm disputing your 50 runs per game claim. I asked how you arrived at that rather large figure. . http://www.baseballprospectus.com/sortable/index.php?cid=1819124 so far this year Travis d'Arnaud has 'framed' 47 balls into strikes.
