    saw a comment that 5/7 played for the Giants too. It'll be 6/8

    yeah. Actually, Jayson Werth and Utley have passed Beltran on the list of SB% Werth has 99 and Utley has 111 though. Beltran has 299! He's also tied for best single season percentage ever with 30+

    did anyone have a plan B for the recession? would a plan B even have worked considering they also got 'hit' with Madoff and a crazy amount of injuries at the same time. Didn't have a plan D.

    http://www.baseball-reference.com/blog/archives/13114 Carlos Beltran (the most successful base-stealer in baseball history (min 200 Attempts or something)) needs 1 more to become only the 8th member of the 300 HR/300 SB club. Barry Bonds, Bobby Bonds, Andre Dawson, Steve Finley, Willie Mays, Alex Rodriguez, Reggie Sanders

    Back to Bingo after the big win in Reading. @Wheelerpro45 was workhorse of the night with his walk and run scored.

    the worst part of having too many fantasy leagues is you're generally going to have 3 guys injured a day. it's ap ain.

Like nymr, Fangraphs thinks him averagey so far. small sample size to begin with, not sure we're measuring all the proper inputs when it comes to defense added on, and I'm not really sure 50 games worth of defensive data is even worth looking at.

I believe Nickeas has options though. So keeping him gives them the flexibility to swap him for someone else (should they suddenly have 40 man room) but yeah, it's gonna be one or the other for Thole on Friday.

Carson and Schwinden are still a little big in the new/shiny phase of prospect to "well, what can they actually contribute?" and I doubt they'll just be jettisoned so fast.

    Batista for Young. Rob Johnson for Ramirez (This is likely happening tomorrow) Mejia and Beato..I dunno, I could see them holding off a little on these, but a guy like Egbert seems a good candidate. Of course, other injuries are possible. Rottino could be cut loose too, and likely will be. Young could make one start and then be 60day'd for Mejia for example.

    The data doesn't suggest this is a worse method of pitcher use either. Whether or not it's fluky, it's not relevant to the differential going forward or predictive of any falloff in record, especially since the Mets won't be able to repeat the #1 cause of the blowouts: pitching Manny Acosta.

    Defense

    Ceetar replied to Edgy MD's topic in New York Mets Talk

    I disagree. Not that the defense has been great, but I think they've gotten plus defense at first, third, and center. There are a lot of bad defenses out there. So far the only one (non injury replacement) that I even worry about is Duda, who still seems to be taking bad routes occasionally and not reacting quickly if he needs to go back or forward.

    I wonder if the dilution of pitchers plays in though. Frank Francisco or Bobby Parnell don't seem like they're going to be Tug McGraw. Would McGraw? Or would someone with the ability to pitch 3 innings successfully end up as a 4th or 5th starter on a team somewhere and we left with guys not even that good to pitch the bullpen innings? And it's a little bit of chicken/egg in that small sample sizes tricks managers into pigeon holing guys into very specific roles that the limited data suggests they need to do to succeed, and they never quite break out of that? Maybe the best solution here is Mejia as a Tug type multi-inning closer? guys that are good enough to start but aren't quite ready to do so? build up innings year to year by having these guys pitch 2-3 (and 120) innings at the back end of games rather than preemptively shutting them down?

When my parents still lived in the house that I grew up in, when I'd visit them I felt like I was going home. Now they live in a different house. When I visit them, I'm going to a familiar, comfortable, and friendly place, but it's not home. I don't live in New York anymore, and I'll never go to as many games at Citi Field as I went to at Shea. Citi Field, at best, will be like my parents' current house. In the later years, a big part of the draw for me in going to Shea was that feeling of connection to my past. I can understand that those of you who haven't left New York probably don't feel that way, but for me, yes, Shea became part of the draw. A fairly big part. I think i've posted my analogy too, but anyway.. My parents still live in the house I grew up in. I had fond memories of living there. But I'm so so glad to be in the new place, and couldn't wait to get out. And this was nothing against the people living there, because it was always pleasant.

    via @tpgmets (good follow btw) Their 41 shutdowns are t-5th best in the NL & t-9th best in MLB. Unfortunately, their 30 meltdowns are 2nd worst in the NL & MLB. So they've really been more high variance than outright bad (although they have not been a net asset).
  24. Ceetar
    It's the bullpens fault. Mostly Manny Acosta but other guys are certainly contributing. I've run the numbers and even wrote it up a bit but never edited it and the numbers always change, via a game being played, before I do. It's certainly been very flukey though. I mean, the Mets won pretty succinctly against the Padres. and one game undoes all the good work they did in terms of run differential.

Now that he's been de-Wayned, I'm coming around to the idea that he's a top-shelf broadcaster, who hasn't, since Gary Cohen went TV, had a partner who got his references, and allowed him to be who he is. I think Wayne did end up muting his enthusiasm a bit. I love how he occasionally slides in jokes that only some people get, never making light of it, just slips it in there and keeps going as if it's perfectly natural to mention changing trains at Jamaica while describing a fielder going after a pop-up even though it's likely a fair portion of the audience were confused about where or what that was all about.
