    Seems like the Mets had a kinda sorta comparable situation when they had the opportunity to get Mike Piazza. They already had a catcher at the time -- and All-Star, too. Was Piazza a bigger star than Lindor? I think so. Is the upgrade from Rosario/Jiminez to Lindor as large as the upgrade from Hundley to Piazza? I wouldn't make the Lindor trade without a negotiating window.

    Interesting read from Mike Vaccaro in the Post today. https://nypost.com/2020/11/07/mets-should-bring-carlos-beltran-back-from-baseball-exile/https://nypost.com/2020/11/07/mets-should-bring-carlos-beltran-back-from-baseball-exile/ He says Mets should never have caved to the pressure to fire Beltran, and with Hinch and Cora now hired and rehired, Cohen should find a role for Beltran. Not managing, as the job now belongs to Rojas. But he says Beltran's excellent baseball knowledge should not go to waste. I have no idea is Beltran actually wants to come back to the Mets or baseball. At some point the Mets need to put him in the team Hall of Fame.

    I respected that he didn't need this job and probably took a huge paycut to take it. Was smart enough to lock up deGrom. Didn't screw Alonso by manipulating his service time. The Stro deal looked good at first and nearly got us into the postseason. Rebounded quickly with Rojas, and should get the credit for it if he becomes a special manager, as Martino calls him.

    Hard to find something uplifting in this bunch. Went with Noah Problem

    "Second to None" is a really good one!

    Love Pete and "Toast of the Town!"
  8. Marshmallowmilkshake
    I went with de March and deGrom. I lean toward nice, uplifting covers.

    I've been to about half the ballparks, maybe a little more. I like Citi Field a lot. They made some necesary corrections after the first couple seasons.

    Nice stories in the booth about Seaver and Gil Hodges.

    What's Matz's contract status? Can we non-tender him?
  12. Marshmallowmilkshake
    But not so good for Lugo.
  13. Marshmallowmilkshake
    Nice bomb from Alonso.

    More power to him.

    Seems like the Marlins always have a way to wreck just about everything.

    They wore two patches, stenciled a message behind the mound and held a black cloth that linked two teams. Just because they didn't make a statement in the way you want them to make a statement doesn't mean that they didn't make a statement. Nor does it mean they support racism or violence. It's not a "garbage country."

    Blake Snell is, by virtue of being a Major League Baseball player, one of the very best in the world at what he does. I'm sure he thinks that entitles him to a lot of money. What he is forgetting is that he is an entertainer, and that as much as I enjoy watching him and the others perform, it's hardly essential to my life. Right now, the clerks at Walgreens, the people restocking the shelves at the grocery store and the guys removing the trash each week are more essential to me. While I know he is being honest and no doubt speaks for others, it sure does come off as insensitive to every waitress, small business owner and others who can't earn anything right now and probably need it more. I'm not saying he should play for free. But he might realize there is a greater good to some to some kind of agreement that is fair to both sides and that tone deaf statements only insult the people he relies on to pay his salary.

    The first weeks of the season have a lot of off days. I can see them making those games up during the season and maybe some extra time at the end. World Series in a warm weather, neutral site?

    Something tells me we don't need to worry about finding a spot to play Jed.

    Lowrie shows up with a rather large brace on his leg, says it's to alleviate symptoms, but won't reveal what those symptoms are. "This is just a brace that alleviates my symptoms and makes me feel like myself," Lowrie said. "Like I said, I'm wearing this brace to alleviate my symptoms and so I can feel like myself... I don't want to get into specifics of symptoms."

    Seems like a Carlos Gomez-style insurance move. Not a bad guy to have at Triple-A if Alonso gets a little banged up.
  23. Marshmallowmilkshake
    Curtis was an easy guy to cheer for! Would be nice if he were to start coaching and showing younger players not just how to play the game, but how to treat people.

    Cleveland is a really nice city and Progressive is a great park. We went several years ago to see the Mets and stayed in the Theater District, a short walk from the park. The aquarium is nice, too. Hope you had time to explore the area just beyond centerfield with the tributes to former players!
