    Megill should've been traded. Blackburn did better than I expected.
  3. Cowtipper
    Finished his pro career with a 15-6 record and a 1.90 ERA.
  4. Cowtipper
    All these years later, he's still going. Eight seasons into his pro career and he hasn't even reached Triple-A. But—he's also still just 24!
  5. Cowtipper
    One of these days he'll make the majors. He's gotta. .306/.363/.441 in 2022. .298/.346/.425 at Triple-A in 2023. .328/.376/.428 at Triple-A this year. .294 career average. .312 Triple-A average. The fates must align at some point.
  6. Cowtipper
    He missed all of 2023 and 2024 (so far), but supposedly he's due back pretty soon.
  7. Cowtipper
    He's still around, currently at Triple-A. Great K rate in the minors this year (13.5 per 9) but awful ERA (10.38).
  8. Cowtipper
    It was a horrible March/April that really hurt him. March ERA: 15.43. April ERA: 10.13. May ERA: 5.47. June ERA: 4.26. July ERA: 3.86. ERA since beginning of May: 4.59. Since beginning of June: 4.05. His season ERA has declined nearly every appearance since his first one.

    I have taken over the team for now to try and improve it...we've gotten it to move up a place in the standings. Someone come and take this while we're on a hot streak!
  11. Cowtipper
    Here's what the team currently looks like. I removed Diaz because he wasn't getting many points in this league.
  12. Cowtipper
    "Accidental Fentanyl Intoxication" is being cited as cause of death. Sounds like he bought what he thought was the good stuff, but it was laced with the bad stuff.
  13. Cowtipper
    I've done a little work on this team to improve it. Surely someone must want it! Consider all the possibilities! Edwin Diaz is on the team.

    Looking for someone to adopt an abandoned team. It's a fixer-upper, but could be a fun project for the latter half of the season. The top players are: Marcell Ozuna Vinnie Pasquantino CJ Abrams Will Smith Kyle Tucker Corbin Burnes Maikel Garcia You could slam your team full of starting pitchers and ascend up the ranks quickly that way, as you have a TON of team innings pitched left to use up. If you want it, send along your email address and I'll transfer the team.

    06/08/24 St. Lucie Mets placed RHP Zebulon Vermillion on the full-season injured list.

    An audition is when you give someone a tryout at something.
  19. Cowtipper
    You are cherry picking your responses I'm showing there is considerable precedent for what I've said about Alonso and that it doesn't just happen now and then. Feel free to come up with your own evidence-based rebuttals instead of just issuing five-word critiques of mine.
  20. Cowtipper
    More hyperbole No.
  21. Cowtipper
    Players since 1980, 240+ lb., 150+ HR, .260 or worse BA (not exhaustive): G. Stanton: Declined markedly at 32. A Dunn: At 31. R Howard: At 32. C. Davis: At 30. G. Sanchez: At 27. M. Sano: At 27. P. Alvarez: At 30. J. Bell: At 30. L. Duda: At 32. C. Carter: At 30. J. Gallo: Outside of power, never really got good enough offensively to have been capable of declining markedly. To answer your question about trading people, yes, I'm all for it if that means building a core that will actually win in the future, more than one year in a row at a time. But they've been chasing that ghost since I've been following the Mets so maybe that will never happen.
  22. Cowtipper
    No, I love the Mets. But they are not due our fealty just cuz we're fans. They are getting paid a lot of money to perform, and when they don't perform, they are justifiably ridiculed. I don't understand what is confusing about starting 2025 auditions now. If the team is building for 2025, they should be auditioning players for 2025—and seeing what works—now, not later in the season. I've said elsewhere that the Nimmo-Alonso-McNeil-Diaz core, with later additions of Lindor and Marte (and Ottavino, too, come to think of it), has been together for a long time, yet they're barely a .500 team. That is unacceptable and clearly not working as it is built. Time to tear down and start over. And yes, Alonso is in a collapse. Most pure power guys his size fall apart at some point and he's at that point I think. I want the Mets to succeed more than anybody, but I'm not convinced the Mets want the Mets to succeed.
  23. Cowtipper
    Do you know how asinine the sounds? I mean wtf? All hyperbole I don't know how asinine it sounds, please elucidate.
  24. Cowtipper
    All I can say is, if I ran the team, we'd be 162-0 right now.
  25. Cowtipper
    The only thing that bedaffles me is why Alonso is still with this team. He's just taking up space. Time to start auditioning for the future now, not August 1. He's nearing his total collapse and the Mets might as well ditch him while he still has value.
