    Seaver makes everything better!

    Loved the upbeat "Oh!" over the gloom.

I've wrestled with weight most of my adult life even through I exercise and try to eat right. I've gone decades without a Big Mac. I watched the presser and was more interested in what he had to say that his weight. Seems like a good fit.

    Dick Allen is going to get the Ron Santo/Leo Durocher/Marvin Miler treatment. I don't have a problem with a Veteran's Committee, because former insiders will know and see things that the writers won't. And it's not like the writers have a spotless record. But I do think there were issues with the way the committee used to operate, which seemed to be a dozen or so people getting together around a table, throwing out names with a strong personality swaying the small group. The current set up seems to be a little better.

    =G-Fafif post_id=51871 time=1607460383 user_id=55] From the BBWAA site: Kaegel received 183 votes from the 374 ballots, including three blanks, cast by BBWAA members with 10 or more consecutive years' service in becoming the 72nd winner of the award since its inception in 1962 and named for the first recipient. Spink was a driving force of The Sporting News, known during his lifetime as the “Baseball Bible.” The late Marty Noble, a staple of New York press boxes for more than four decades, received 115 votes. Allan Simpson, the former minor-league executive who founded the influential publication Baseball America, got 73. We could clearly use a little New York bias up in here.

    Yo-Pening Day might have been the highlight of the season.

    I went the season it opened, and the McDonald's was a big deal. I didn't see anything like that when we went in 2018, though there were some good food options. I remember at the time, the video board was considered incredibly huge and state of the art. Now everyone has them.

    I'm thrilled the ball is in very good hands. But why is an historical artifact that never left the field in the hands of a private collector? I get if a ball flies into the stands, thats a differnet scenario. But this was picked up by an MLB employee and given away, then sold. Seems like the thought should have been, "This is history, it should go to Cooperstown." I know it was a different time. Nowadays MLB has authenticators at games to collect stuff.

    SkyDome is a nice ballpark. Went there in 2018. I'd hate to see it go.

    Assuming there are fans in the stands, I'd like to see Bartolo get a spring training sendoff like HoJo got. I was at some of those games. He had a chance to put the uniform on, play in some games and get standing ovations and go out on his own terms.

    The Syracuse beat reporter was doing his job. And Alderson's answer about Tebow was pretty interesting. Alderson was on the Talkin' Baseball podcast a while back and shared how he tried to woo Michael Jordan to the A's when he was talking about playing for the White Sox.

    Theo's contract with the Cubs expires in a year. Perhaps they are keeping the light on for him. I used to hate the DH. Hate it. But I kind of got used to the idea of having Alonso and Dom in the lineup at the same time without having Dom in left.
  13. Marshmallowmilkshake
    Randolph has the second-highest winning percentage among Mets managers and never finished below third. But you don't even hear about him getting inveriews anymore, much less getting hired as a manager. That must be a sign.
  14. Marshmallowmilkshake
    Mike Pelfrey didn't have trouble reaching the top shelf, either.

With checking, I see that they were all born before 1950 — a gilded age for Georges. George Thomas Seaver says he's in that club, and slides in between Foster and Stone aphabetically.

    Terry needs to be in the Mets Hall of Fame.
  18. Marshmallowmilkshake
    Interestinig Talkin' Baseball podcast today, focusing on pine tar use by pitchers to increase spin rate. Bauer supposedly was a big user this year. MLB is looking the other way at this point. But if it ever decides to crack down on it, the thought is Bauer will go from Cy Young to medicore. I don't understand the batters who glop it on all over the place, then get it all over their uniforms and helmets.
  19. Marshmallowmilkshake
    I don't understand why a guy in his position takes this chance. I can't condone, but understand the temptation, for the guys who are on the cusp of getting that one huge contract and being set financially for life. But Cano already had the contract and borderline Hall of Fame numbers. Now he's out $24 mill, loses a season to add to the counting stats and pretty much kills any Hall chances he had anyway. Plus, he already got popped once. Did he think he wouldn't get caught a second time?
  20. Marshmallowmilkshake
    I'd rather wait and see if a decent starter gets non-tendered before going after a guy like Tanaka.
  21. Marshmallowmilkshake
    Bloody sock + 2001 DBacks + Yankee tears > sharing a stupid meme. I understand the arguments in favor Bonds and Clemens. But Manny was busted, what, twice? I don't think any of them get in.
  22. Marshmallowmilkshake
    I think JD Davis is a spare part who could bring back something, especially if the NL has the DH. Cano's contract will be tough to peddle. I don't want to trade McNeil. I don't want to trade Alonzo or Smith. If we sign Springer, and Nimmo gets moved to left, You have to figure McNeil moves to third. Could a package around Davis and Rosario -- who is just 24 -- bring back Lindor?
  23. Marshmallowmilkshake
    I didn't vote for the cover, but Mr. Met photobombing ARod and Kiss Met is funny!

    Yeopening Day is wonderful.

    =smg58 post_id=50386 time=1605055873 user_id=62] The difference with Piazza/Hundley was that Hundley wouldn't play until September and the catchers the Mets had available were replacement level. So you were upgrading from replacement level to Hall-of-Famer. That's not the case here. Lindor is an elite defender at SS who can give you an OPS in the mid-.800s, which is certainly nothing to sneeze at. But I'd be more interested in a pitcher of comparable value for the same price tag, because the need is greater. I wouldn't rule it out necessarily, but it's not my plan A.
