    wonder which home plate umpire we get for Stroman.
  2. Ceetar
    but keeping trying to steal Villar.

    =bmfc1 post_id=74127 time=1628712783 user_id=73] Ed Coleman subbing for Howie is like Jared Eickhoff starting instead of Jake.

    It's a shame there's not a site devoted to uniform numbers where we could've had it loaded up.

    Was a topic on the Shawn Green Episode of Mets On Tap for sure. https://www.barleyprose.com/podcast/mets-on-tap-episode-20/https://www.barleyprose.com/podcast/mets-on-tap-episode-20/

    well Botty could've given us that! It's all about the Newburgh Brown! That's the go-to! I'd forgotten I wanted to rave about that but I was tricked by having it at some sort of..what do they call it when they have like the radio music thingy but it's like real people but you're just sitting there with nothing else to do? oh a concert, right. I had two of those at the Hella Mega.

    Guys we should've conferenced Johnny Lunchbucket into the podcast recording live from Citi Field

    did he have Covid? I lose track. But yeah, it seems like his power is sapped mainly, which could easily be a lingering fatigue thing which IS a Covid symptom. Or some other nagging injury we're unaware of.

    rain most likely coming too, should be agood one.

    I've been talking about how much of a scumbag he is since before the first deal fell through. I don't know if A-Rod would've been financially viable as an owner, but at least I figured his priorities would be better for fans. Who knows. What I do know is the Mets 2022 holes are bigger than there 2021 ones, and they'd be much better positioned with Realmuto or Springer.
  11. Ceetar
    The obvious ones are Stroman, Syndergaard, and Conforto. Or try to upgrade each of those with someone else, which is going to be tough all around.

    It's not shocking that a guy that's had to hire scummy lawyers twice to "settle" workplace harassment cases Why would you put the word settle in quotes? Are you unsure how lawsuits, and particularly employment discrimination lawsuits work? “Scummy” lawyers is also a giveaway that you're pushing an unsupported agenda here. because firing the HR lady and the jerk you rehired is _not enough_ it does not settle the workplace issues, nor does having 'training' or 'meetings' about it. The lawyer in question is the one that successfully argued that hiring Jared Kushner wasn't nepotism. Working for the scumbags pretty much is the definition of scummy. I think I outlined more in the callaway/porter thread.
  13. Ceetar
    well not _nothing_. It's not shocking that a guy that's had to hire scummy lawyers twice to "settle" workplace harassment cases ignored the red flags with that pitcher, nor that the guy he hired to run the join who immediately hired back a serial harasser ignore them too. Though I guess technically it was the OTHER guy that was sexually harassing people that was supposed to be making the decisions. But then it really only came down to like, not offering him another 5 million or something anyway. This stuff doesn't exactly make me feel good about the decision making process going forward.

    lol, 'bold trade' they had crap at SS and traded for maybe the best, because the Guardians were selling. Kudos for that but it's not bold. It was being called for before he even bought the team. Now, a REAL CFer? A good catcher? whiffed. hard. And then there's the Rocker thing and the trade deadline, both failures. And that's without mentioning Hiring Sandy, who hand-waved sexual assault, and then hiring one of trump's lawyers as a fixer to make it go away, which as far as I know was just 'can these two fools when the season is over', not sure if there's any more coming. I personally am not surprised with all that going on that they weren't 100% prepared for any of those steps along the way, but most of that's of their own making. And that's just Mets related Free Agents/trades. We know much more about Cohen and what he's about. But in terms of the scope of the Mets, he gets no benefit of the doubt that he's going to be noticeably better than any other owner.
  15. Ceetar
    if by 'map' you mean 'Steve Cohen is a despicable person and has shown no aptitude for running the Mets any better than previous ownership' then sure. all over it.
  16. Ceetar
    There was a standout, clear cut, better than everyone else by miles free agent, that the Mets had no players at, and they passed. I can't wait to hear Cohen threaten not to sign someone because he's not worth the bucks for a shortened season if the players are threatening to strike. Because it's all about the value propositions.
  17. Ceetar
    Then don't. I've got the energy for it. They're squandering this season despite obvious things they ignored, and that deserves criticism. They'll probably try for Bauer again.
  18. Ceetar
    There is a pattern of behavior! Just not as Mets owner. Certainly enough to NOT give him some benefit of the doubt. And early returns aren't great.
  19. Ceetar
    =kcmets post_id=73912 time=1628466424 user_id=53] So, now Cohen's not really a Mets fan and only cares about money? Pretty nutty (?) to be going down that dark bleak rabbit hole so early in the game.
  20. Ceetar
    Todd Zieile is full of hot take nonsense, I don't now how anyone listens to these post games. I don't really have a problem with Alonso/the players acting confident and hopeful, but maybe Rojas and Cohen should be a little less "thoughts and prayers!"

    Johnny Lunchbucket wrote: Best I can see is, Lindor returns and he and Baez create some chemistry. This was the rumored plot to Breaking Bad 2. Sounds like it's not likely now anyway, also the way the offense is going you can't play Baez over McNeil and Davis. (though Rojas would) I think the best bet these days is an injury to Wheeler.

    same story with every other rich billionaire that shouldn't exist. the return on investment (and that's all this is to him, a different incarnation of the stock market gambling game) starts to not be worth it at those numbers. Mets were 65% or whatever to make the playoffs at the deadline, so spending to make it 75 or 85% just doesn't provide the value. Trading the Rocker pick for future value is a good investment move, the year delay and current needs of the franchise be damned. We're a rich asshole's plaything, and there's not much we can do if he's playing with it for his own benefit, not everyone else's.
  23. Ceetar
    Cohen won't open the purse strings, why bother?
  24. Ceetar
    Their approach, collectively, is terrible. They're all swinging from their heels on every at bat, trying to hit a nine run HR. This is true of most MLB hitters and teams, too, but when you're not connecting, and you don't play in a tiny joke of a stadium like some certain other local teams, then the failures are magnified. It seems, based on the article, that it's not that they're trying to hit a HR every AB, it's that they're choosing the wrong pitches to do so. We discussed this a bit on the https://www.barleyprose.com/beer/mets-on-tap-episode-19/Podcast, but Javy Baez is a prime example of this mostly bad strategy (And them choosing him as their acquisition is an indictment for sure) where he just swings at anything and even when he manages to get a ball or two, that just seems to unleash him more. Baez is maybe a singular talent in that he can hit some of those balls for power, but mostly others can't.

    I'll be at Citi Field tonight confused why they aren't there.
