A pet peeve of Pete Rose. Run 'em all out. (No, I don't believe Pete should be in the HOF. Gamble on the game, then lie about it, you're out. But he had the right idea about hustling on the field).

BTW, glad to see this new thread, TBT.

Hustling to 1st base, especially on a comebacker to the pitcher is the most overrated thing ever. Old school baseball people are so dumb. If Harper gets hurt legging out some routine groundout the Nats should suspend Matt Williams.

However, you are in a good position to test the ZenMate extension so that our friend mocat knows whether or not to pony up for the show.

Still made the triple though, he wasn't getting an in-the-parker out of that so no harm no foul except for the dumbasses who take exception to people having fun. I'm glad that Cole acknowledged that he himself was the reason his teammate got KOed.

I've been trying.. so here's the deal, I use the MLB.TV apps on my iPhone and iPad, and usually just stream it on AppleTV if I'm home. so, I never use a browser, but I downloaded chrome and tried to start up the zenmate extension and it won't allow me to, I'm guessing cause it's an apple product. and I don't have a laptop, so tell me what I'm doing wrong or what I should do.

without... talked to IT, and it's cause our network load balances between a few different big sites so it has no idea I'm actually in Denver

sorry, running Zenmate won't do anything for our R&D here at the office, guys. the IT guy has never messed around with it either so he has no educated input.

Yeah everyone is aware of the purpose, it's one of the reasons why the Red Sox didn't say anything when Pineda did it last week. But when he didn't have it and got shelled in the first inning and then came out in the second like he had bathed in it, they had to say something. I really don't know why he doesn't put it on his hat or glove like everyone else does.

He might as well of just brought out the damn container of it and set it on the mound next to his feet. It's hard to understand the thought process behind putting it on his neck.

Do you have to subscribe to that thing, like pay every month, or can you pay like in May then again in August? The Des Moines area is the home market for six different teams; Royals, White Sox, Cubs, Twins, Cardinals, and Brewers. It's really annoying that I miss my Red Sox home call so often. Listening to Hawk Harrelson and Steve Stone two weeks ago was akin to sticking scissors in my urethra.

Leadoff double in the 8th ruined it for Ryu. Have to think the long bottom of the 7th had something to do with it. He was in the dugout a long time. Great performance, however.

(Now the Reds have knocked him out of the game with 3 in the 8th...still batting).

Not gambling for his team is essentially betting against his team, his gambling was illegal betting it isn't such a leap for him to have an agreement that stated implied or otherwise that if he didn't place a bet then the bookies are to assume that it is the same as betting against the Reds. That being said his gambling and lying had nothing to do with how he was as a player.

I know a handful of baseball players that played before I was born. Pete Rose is probably the only one that didn't play for the Yankees at some point in the 30's.

Yes, I know that name. No idea what his accomplishments are. I think the only reason I know his name though is because my friends and I named a stray cat Shoeless Joe because he had all white paws. I literally have never heard of the other guy you posted.

Why does Pete Rose want to be in the Hall of Fame so bad? He's way more famous because of the controversy than he would be for being in the Hall of Fame.

Wow, talk about low baseball IQ.

Pete Rose would be just as famous without the controversy. Ask just about any middle aged man who would be in there top 5 from back then and Pete Rose will come up about every time.

There's a man in my office that said he stopped watching MLB after Rose retired.

  Rose had a motor that extended to all facets of the game.

That guy is full of crap. And middle aged men ranking 70s baseball players is not the end all be all of fame. He's absolutely more famous for being banned from baseball.

Who is more famous? Shoeless Joe or Tris Speaker? Tell me and tell me why.

Pete Rose  makes numerous top 25 lists of all time players.

He would be just as famous and probably be a broadcaster now.

He wouldn't be somebody people forgot about.

Jeter gives away memorabilia gift baskets to his one night stands. He never got married and cheated on a wife, like most pros do. MH thinks he's unclassy for this, cause I'm sure, he's always been 100% classy around the ladies. Also, roids, definitely classy. :)

well ya, don't juice until you're getting paid.  not worth it before that i don't think.

My reasoning has more to do with hormonal development than anything else. A properly administered steroid cycle has relatively few negative side effects associated with it. Health issues occur when the drugs are administered improperly. It's a terrible idea to start taking steroids until after your hormonal system has completely developed, which is usually much later than 18 for most males. Improper dosing and cycling is the other issue, and that comes from people not doing the proper research.

Sports are entertainment. Athletes are paid to perform at their peak physical levels for the enjoyment of others. Steroids make sports more entertaining and draw more revenue. It's pretty simple.

Roids bring out anger, mh. More severe reactions than gift baskets. Also, you lose your balls during the process. I know this cause my roommate was the dealer to many cats and Newman in Dallas, but eff that jeter guy for signed baseballs. :lol:

Just so we're clear, I am on no performance enhancing drugs. I've only used one illegal substance in my life. You know what it is, so stop insinuating otherwise now.

There were years of recorded data regarding the training and substance regimens of Olympic athletes from Eastern Bloc countries. The doctors and trainers that ran those programs managed them almost exactly like scientists run empiric studies on other living subjects. Everything was controlled for. They were building machines. This of course was all before WADA. Now official records can't actually be maintained in order to prevent getting caught.

Steroid usage in professional athletics, of all kinds, is far more prevalent than the general public realizes.

FWIW, I really enjoyed our convo last night, MH.  :cheers: I did witness some interesting behavior with my roommates, but i'm sure it was different stuff than what you're educated on (cause you're smarter than them). One of my roommates did it cause he left for hollywood in the summers to be an extra in films. The only notable one I ever saw him in was seabiscuit, but I had to get out of that house after awhile. It was getting weird. Especially seeing the 04' teams linebackers over all the time. I wish it would of helped them. We sucked that year.  :frown:

No it isn't. It gives fans a chance to be a part of the game. Plus, it is the All-Star game, not best stats or best players games, though those things come together in a lot of cases.

Despite most games being on TV somewhere, and shows like SC, BBTN, and other MLB shows being available it give the casual fan, or rabid fan of a singular team the chance to see a group of the most current stars all at once. It's also great because the game of baseball allows for players to make most of the plays and do most of the things they would do in a regular game.

The MLB ASG is great.

Derek handled dumbass Joe Buck really well.

"Derek, how have you been such a champion? You're really good and don't get in trouble and do everything perfect. How'd you do that?"
"Um I just try and do my job and stay out of trouble"

But really he said, "I'm 40 years old. Why are you asking me questions like I'm a kid. That's a clown-question bro."

—If you turned every home run Bonds ever hit into an out, his career on base percentage would be .384, the same as Alex Rodriguez's.

—Bonds reached base just 330 fewer times than all-time leader Pete Rose, in 3,284 fewer plate appearances.

—Bonds made 85 fewer outs than Ken Griffey Jr. did in 1,302 more plate appearances.

—If Bonds were to return to the major leagues tomorrow, he would have to make 1,412 straight outs to drop his on base percentage below .400.

In 2004 Bonds had 120 intentional walks. The Royals single season record for walks is 122 by John Mayberry in 1973. 

The Royals single season records for OBP and SLUG were both set in 1980 by George with .454/.664. Bonds had 9 seasons of at least that OBP, and 7 seasons with a better slug.

The Royals have had six individual seasons with 100 walks (none since 1989). Bonds did that 14 times.

104.6 mph is just silly... like ridiculous.

http://hardballtalk.nbcsports.com/2014/07/29/arolids-chapman-broke-104-m-p-h-on-his-fastball-last-night/

When he came into the league after he defected from Cuba, there were reports he hit 106 mph.  Now at the time, that was a simply impossible number, studies done on the human body have about capped it at 102ish.  Each extra mph is exponential stress on the elbow and shoulder so I didn't think this was possible.

I watched several youtube vids of him pitching from behind a cage and damn, it was quick.  If you watch him pitch it doesn't look over 100 mph coming out of his hand.  Granted he is tall and he covers extra ground to the plate that most don't, but with having seen him pitch more and more.  I believe 106 is real, and having less innings on him when it was alleged, I believe it now. 

From a human body perspective he should not be able to generate that much torque to achieve that speed.  Then again, the body can do amazing things.

You guys sound like old dorks complaining about the no-elastic, baggy pants look. Sure, most of us 25-35 probably prefer the high-socks look, but guess what. When we started pulling our pants high the old dorks from the long and tight era were boo-hooing us. Same with the mid-calf guys from the 80s before them.

As a Red Sox fan I was thrilled with all of our trades, and even more happy that the Rays didn't get a damn thing for Price. It's hilarious to me that they could have had Cespedes and ended up with nothing. I'm sick of hearing about how smart their cheap ass front office is.

Lester said when it became obvious he would be traded that he'd be open to coming back to the BoSox. That said, he turned down the extension they offered during spring training because it wasn't enough money. Guessing they'd have to sweeten the pot a lot to get him back.

MIR did you see this in Buster Olney's blog?:

Quote
• One of the more amusing conspiracy theories is that Lester left the Red Sox with some sort of understanding that he will be back next year. Lester and the Red Sox were really polite publicly as this played out, saying all the right things. But behind the curtain, it was a long, tough summer.

The team’s initial offer of $70 million was far below what was acceptable in Lester’s camp, and while the Red Sox indicated a willingness to go higher than that, the left-hander all but ended the formal talks at that point. The Red Sox tried repeatedly to re-engage during the season, but Lester did not want to get involved; friends say he didn’t want to get into the back-and-forth of talks in-season without having the confidence that the Boston offer was more about signing the player than about public relations. During the weekend the Red Sox played in New York, a foray came from the team: The Red Sox would be willing to discuss a deal along the lines of the $105 million contract that Homer Bailey had signed with the Reds, but a deal in the range of what Hamels got from the Phillies ($144 million) was totally out of the question.

By then, the goalposts had moved for Lester, and a $105 million concept that might have been within range during spring training was off the table for the left-hander. There were many informal discussions between the two sides, including a Saturday night conversation on June 28 and a lengthy heart-to-heart at Yankee Stadium the next day. We reported about the talks that weekend, which were denied -- under the loose cover that there was no formal offer. But they talked, numbers were discussed, and no deal was made then or in the days leading up to his trade.

The conspiracy theory of Lester having an understanding would have to be built on an unbreakable bond of loyalty and trust. But that has to extend both ways, and when the two sides opened talks in the spring with such an enormous gap, the Lester-Red Sox relationship degraded into a business transaction -- and that’s all it will be going forward, if the Red Sox pursue Lester again.

Unless the Red Sox change their fiscal ways, writes Dan Shaughnessy, Lester is gone.

I could not agree more. It’s business, not personal, and if Boston increases its offer dramatically, he might be back; if the Red Sox don’t, there’s no chance he’ll return. Players in their clubhouse know this.

Post by: MakeItRain on August 06, 2014, 11:02:20 PM
Yeah, that's been a talking point since April. Frankly Lester, his agent, and the Red Sox players that complained are being babies. It was the opening bid in a negotiation, cares what the first proposal was. The talking point that Lester would have given the Sox some kind of hometown discount is borderline absurd. They saw what other pitchers were getting and like I said before there are clubs that will overpay and give too many years, the Sox under this management never have. Lester and his agent know this.

We will get Andrew Miller back though.

thats pretty bush league by the twins

I'm guessing by now you know that the twins offered him a bully appearance and he said no. There is some speculation that he won't pitch again as to not jeopardize his K/bb record.

You know what more cities should have done? Made all their teams the same color. Pittsburgh did it and I think it'd be so fun to live in a city where you can where a certain color scheme and be supporting all of your home town teams.

Seattle is kind of doing it now that the Seahawks have more fun colors. Hopefully they'll get an NBA team back there to complete the trifecta.

No, just a normal human eye that can see the 339 foot mark indicated on the wall.  The ball went maybe 30 or 40 feet further than that.  Not trying to argue with our guy mocat or anybody else but I mainly don't want that mulleted fuckface Bumgarner getting any more credit for the length of his homerun.

Post by: Powercat Posse on June 11, 2015, 10:11:01 AM
I liked Aoki, but I Dont fault Dayton for looking for a bat that had more power.  Even if he is a solid RF, 11 mill was a few mill too high for Rios, but they clearly wanted him and overpaid.

I'm not gonna judge Rios totally off of these past 2 weeks, just as I'm not judging his good 1st 7 games and say he was going to be a great player.

Right now, he is struggling and not hitting well. He had to be better not only to somewhat justify his contract, but to justify him being our RF

Fwiw....Aoki was hitting in the .250s with no power in a good portion of June and July, and a lot of peeps weren't loving him or loving him hitting leadoff putting up those numbers.

Shields is doing what Shields does, go deep into games, even if he gives up 4 or 5 runs, and gives his team a chance to win. He rarely has games that are truly awful. He's averaging 6.15 innings per start, and last year was at 6.67 (about 1/3 of an inning difference). More Ks and HRs this year like Posse said. The more homers thing is weird, because I thought San Diego was not a HR friendly park.

Yes we really do.  I'm OK that Eski isn't gonna have a .350 on base, but he can't hit below .275 either. I'd like to see steal more too. He was successful in 53 of 59 tries last 2 years.

two baseball questions/musings:

1)  batting practice.  why do they practice at hitting pitches that are purposely easy to hit?  how does that make sense?  shouldn't they practice by trying to hit pitches that are like the ones they'll actually hit in games?

2)  inventing pitching machines.  shouldn't someone invent a pitching machine that you could program to produce pitches like the pitcher you're going to play next.  like you just program in the rotation and velocity and angle and all of that and it produces pitches that are really similar to what any given pitcher throws.  wouldn't practicing with something like that help the hitters hit the real pitcher?

Post by: Cire on July 14, 2015, 10:42:38 AM
batting practice is about mechanics of your swing, muscle memory etc.

In the indoor training areas there are machines that can replicate some movement.

At that level they can all hit the pitch if they know it's coming.

Post by: sys on July 14, 2015, 12:32:22 PM
also, i don't think it's true that the hitters can hit anything if they know it's coming.  look at herrera, he pretty much just throws a fastball and changup, and throws the fastball way, way more.  so there's no reason for any hitter to expect anything but fastballs.  and they don't seem to hit him that great.

i think the whole pitch recognition stuff that people always talk about is pretty much bullshit anyways.

Reyes was in the trade. He was Tor starting SS

Last 3 years, Tulo OPS is .822 away from Coors.
Reyes was about .720 OPS last 2 seasons

62% of Tulo RBI and 60% of HR came at Coors (last 3 yrs)
Reyes did run bases well, 85 stolen bases in 2014/2015

While Tulo is an upgrade on Reyes, it's not a huge upgrade and they gave up a prospect package better than the Royals gave for Cueto and included Reyes and still didn't improve on their biggest need.

Great deal on Colorado's part, especially if they can flip Reyes now and pick up even more quality prospects.

Blue Jays now have Ben Revere (from Phil).  Gives them a guy who can hit lead off. Similar to Esky as he doesn't walk much at all but a .302 ave and 73 stolen bases past 2 seasons

Potential lineup could be Revere, Tulo, Donaldson, Bautista and Encarsion as first 5.  Pretty lethal


With Houston and Toronto making all these moves, I am even more thrilled that we got Cueto/Zo (especially Cueto)

@MakeItRain,

thoughts on NESN canning the Red Sox announcer guy? Was he actually good, or was it just cuz he was there during the 3 world series?

Don Orsillo is regarded as one of the best play by play men in the business. His firing was a complete blindside and it was for a really stupid reason. Basically, there is a fairly new guy at NESN who got pissed at Orsillo because NESN now mandates that the on air talent takes two weeks off each season and DO wants to work everyday. Larry Luchino told NESN that they have to keep Orsillo and when Luchino stepped down DO's protection was gone.

Even the "I hate everything" New Englanders, which are essentially all of them, are almost unanimously behind Orsillo here.

Is he good? Hell yes he's good, I'm assuming he'll do TBS playoff games again and he is already being rumored to be the person who will take over for Vin Scully who has not announced his return in 2016 yet.

Dave O'Brien, wouldn't necessarily call him the new guy since he's been doing radio for nearly a decade but, yeah he's dece. Many will know him from doing ESPN games. The chemistry between Orsillo and the temperamental Jerry Remy won't be close to being duplicated. Actually at this point, now I hope Remy retires and gets replaced by Dennis Eckersley just so we can have a fresh start. Eck is very good in the booth.

Arrieta, 2 ERs 23 Hits in his last 50.1 Innings

And he only has allowed 12 ER in his last 109.

Worthy of the Cy, but Greinke still the favorite IMO

I was mostly trolling mocat MIR. Pap was the premier left handed hitter in the AL for a number of years, and his legacy as a player, especially in post season, is pretty incredible. I get why people like him.

A-Rod, well, I appreciate that outside of Bonds, he's the best baseball player of our lifetimes. But he's super weird, and super worried about his image, although that's changed in the past year. He's a weirdo.

People say he's been worried about his image for his entire career, even as a rookie. I'd have to go back and read stuff from back then but I remember thinking that junior was kind of a dick to a rod publicly when they played together.

I agree baseball's unwritten rules are dumb, disagree with the suspension.

If Tejada doesn't do an awkward spin, its a non-issue, and Utley's been sliding that way his entire career. Also, he was called safe and not thrown out of the game, but they are reacting to a very public injury to a key Mets player. They haven't suspended those types of plays, ever, but now they set a precident? Not fair to Utley. They've been allowing contact plays there forever, injuries are gonna happen. Off season is time to address the rule.

1. The play happens all the time, the MLB is being reactionary. If they were truly concerned about this type of play, guys would be suspended all the time.

2. The player was called SAFE by MLB officials in New York City, and not ejected from the game.

Both true, but this sets the precedent for a rule change and we'll probably now see it handled like blocking the plate.

This is reactionary, but I agree with MLB's new stance. This isn't the Ty Cobb era. If they're going to protect catchers at home plate then they need to do the same with middle infielders turning DP's.

The fact that it occurred in the playoffs shouldn't be a reason to give Utley a free pass. Neither should "this is how it's always been".

the slide was clearly and unambiguously against the rules.  over the offseason they should make a point of telling baseball refs to call the rule as written.


it is a little unfair to suspend a guy for a play that, although against the rules, is seldom called.  oh well, there are lots of things more unfair.  if you don't want to get caught up in a sudden enforcement of an unenforced rule, don't go so far out of your way to flaunt your breaking of the rule.

ok, here's the favoriteness list.  feel free to use it to form your own favorites.

1. pillar - dreamy eyes, distinctive nose, fast, great at diving catches.
2. goins - cute, good at defense.
3. price - played for detroit, seems nice, good at pitching.
4. revere - fast.
5. colabello - good backstory with the indy league thing.
6. martin - really good at catching, fast for a catcher.
7. hendriks - former royal.
8. kawasaki - does funny stuff in the dugout and on gifs.
------------------------------------------------------------------------ below this line, the players are not liked.
9. navarro - kinda sloppy looking (out of shape).
10. dickey - dunno, doesn't let people steal, maybe?  dunno, just don't like him.
11. encarnacion - only thing he does is that stupid parrot thing.  no personality.
12. bautista - seems like he takes himself pretty serious.  stretches too much.
13. tulowitzki - always hurt or walking around like he's gonna be hurt, face is narrow, white guy with a line in his hair.
14. donaldson - see mocat, he's got a better list than mine.

any player not listed is neutral (right on the dotted line).

However, at that moment, to hit that ball that GD far. How on earth could you not stare down the pitcher and send the bat flying.

iPad Man looks like a complete tool and is blocking someone's view of the game.  He is more than welcome to do his schtick in Toronto but stay the eff out of KC.

I don't think they sell giant foam cowboy hats at Kauffman like they do in Arlington.  Too bad though, they seem fun ... not that Brock Landers would know anything about that.

Anyway, seems like iPad guy is a PA with Fox. Chris Ober/Oberg? The trail has gone cold, but I'm still fascinated with this performance artist/inside joker.

ok, here's the favoriteness list.  feel free to use it to form your own favorites.

1. pillar - dreamy eyes, distinctive nose, fast, great at diving catches.
2. goins - cute, good at defense.
3. price - played for detroit, seems nice, good at pitching.
4. revere - fast.
5. colabello - good backstory with the indy league thing.
6. martin - really good at catching, fast for a catcher.
7. hendriks - former royal.
8. kawasaki - does funny stuff in the dugout and on gifs.
------------------------------------------------------------------------ below this line, the players are not liked.
9. navarro - kinda sloppy looking (out of shape).
10. dickey - dunno, doesn't let people steal, maybe?  dunno, just don't like him.
11. encarnacion - only thing he does is that stupid parrot thing.  no personality.
12. bautista - seems like he takes himself pretty serious.  stretches too much.
13. tulowitzki - always hurt or walking around like he's gonna be hurt, face is narrow, white guy with a line in his hair.
14. donaldson - see mocat, he's got a better list than mine.

any player not listed is neutral (right on the dotted line).

this is a pretty great list actually. i nodded with approval at almost every name & descripto.

my modifications: i would take dickey out of the dislike group. i watched some story about him being a sexual abuse victim as a child and it was real emotional and he seems like a good guy (despite hillibilly tennessee or something accent)
you replace dickey with justin smoak. look at this freaking guy's IRL face:

other tidbits (with a + or - in likeability index):

david price wanted to go to Toronto mostly because of their popcorn apparently being awesome. (+)

dickey is an illegal pitch-style pitcher (-)

josh donaldson seems like the most annoying guy. like when someone in the clubhouse tells a joke he is probably like "i don't get it" and then makes this face:

I don't really like Russell Martin but acknowledge that it is unreasonable just because he played for the Yankees, he's also take baseball serious guy. Everyone else, meh.

I've been a fan of Jose Bautista, or "Joey Bats" as the kids call him, for years.  I still hope he goes like 1 for 17 in the ALCS with his one hit being a solo homerun in a game the Royals are ahead by about 12 runs.

Not necessarily bad, but by catching it he essentially traded an out for a run.  If he let it drop and then the batter struck out or couldn't get a sacrifice then it's worth it.   If he let it drop foul and then the batter made a hit it would be worse (you would still give up the run and have one less out).  It's a tough call.  Personally, I have my team catch it I think.  In baseball there only a finite number of outs, and its best (IMO) to get them when you can.

there probably are a few.  it's kinda the same type of deal as the jets.  true new yorkers are yankee/giants/knicks fans.  new jersey gets the jets, mets, and nets.

they are 7-0 vs the mets cf3. i know that can be misleading, but they already beat deGrom twice. it's really hard to go 7-0 vs a team.

BUT like i said before, the playoffs are super random and the mets could win in 7 or something. they do have home field

I heard an interview with Curt Schilling yesterday and he doesn't think the playoffs are random because it's the only time when all of the players are totally locked in to every pitch of every at bat.


so he thinks it's fair to judge an entire season based on just a few crazy games in october? weird

What's random about the best players playing their best? There's certainly a sample size issue but that isn't at all random. I'm not sure how anyone could claim that the four teams who won their series' weren't the better team in that series.

baseball is just kind of a weird sport though.  a lot of it is left up to chance.  i mean, even the best players only get hits 3 out of every 10 times.

i love sports stats, and predictive analysis.  but one of the things i hate about it is the devaluing of the actual results.

actually, maybe that places too much blame on stats.  there's always been this idea that championships should be won by the best team, or its converse that whichever team wins a championship is the best team.

both are not only Fake Sugar Dick (WARNING, NOT THE REAL SUGAR DICK!), but i find them almost offensive.  sports is about momentary, fleeting achievement.  if a bad team can achieve beating better teams, i find that thrilling.

Agreed, the nature of the sport doesn't change. It's the absolute best teams just playing a shorter season. People try to act like winning the World Series is akin to winning the NCAA tournament. There isn't a single world series champion since the advent of the wildcard that won because of being lucky. Even when that Mariners team who set the wins record lost to the Yankees, there isn't anyone in the world who believed that Mariners team were better than the Yankees.

In response to Dlew and sys's conversation, is there any metric in determining the best team in said year? Final winning percentage? It's also kind of sad how often, moreso in basketball due to the lesser number of starters, a championship is greatly affected by injuries to what could very well be the best team.

Also, they can hit tons of homeruns, but then again so can the Jays. Another thing is Jake Arrietta seemed like he could Bumgarner us, but after his outing on Sunday that seems unlikey as well

Well, these 3 games by the Cubs are uncharacteristic, they are good. However the Mets don't have any BP pitchers like we've seen the last 2 games in Toronto, and will get a quality start every night. Over a game, or even a 5 game series, the Cubs power would scare me, but over a 7 game series a team that can get a quality start every night scares me more. Cubs is better matchup for a Royals parade

Reason I don't want the Cubs is because of how absolutely nauseating trying to watch or listen to any sports program would be. I don't care if the Royals are the bag guys or the good guys in the media, but if it's the Cubs the other team might as well not even exist. It would be Bartman and goats 24 hours a day.

the Mets offense will be worse when Dan Murphy stops doing his Barry Bomds impersonation. Almost as strange as Alciedes' run right now.

going into the playoffs last year, everyone was afraid of the royals, remember? well this year it was the winner of the cubs/pirates game. and the cubs showed it by mopping up the cardinals. so i am a little surprised at the cubs looking like losers vs the mets. why are they so good all of a sudden? cespedes and murphy being on fire i guess.

have you ever seen d'Arnaud's batting stance? i have no idea how he ever gets a hit. he holds the bat handle way out in front, with the bat head straight up in the air, leaning slightly back towards the catcher. so weird.

I think the Royals philosophy of playing for contact will work much better against Mets' pitchers than the Cubs home run/strikeout philosophy.

BITB is all up in my head on this. I get that this is sort of his thing, but every time he gets this confident about a team in the area they fall flat their face. I've seen it play out enough times to know how the story ends.

holy crap. @MIR your thoughts? 7 years is ridiculous for a starting pitcher, but Price has been remarkably consistent for 7 years now, and has been durable and injury free. Although they lost ALCS Games 2 and 6, he really did a good job getting his team into position to win those games and I'd expect him to be good in post seasons in the future.

7 years though. I mean my word....

yeah that's bonkers. he has an option for a 4 year deal that is 69 million dollars bigger than the biggest deal in Royals history.

the 4 years / $124m of player option part

i don't think it's much worse (actually prolly better) than a straight 7/215.  if he exercises the option, the red sox get price's presumptive best three years and avoid his presumptive worst four.  there is no more risk than with a straight 7 year contract.

it's only worse for the team (compared to a straight seven year contract, obviously it is worse than a straight three year contract) if you think that price's last four years will have more value than 31/year - which would be a pretty great outcome for boston, if it happened.

Post by: sys on December 01, 2015, 05:16:04 PM
basically, if you decide to overpay an older player for his last few years in order to his first few years, giving him a player option costs you nothing (and gives you the chance to benefit, if either the player or the market overvalues those last years when it's option decision time).

Frankly I'm not terribly excited about it, it's pretty clear you can win without having to do that and the Red Sox actually have pretty good depth to their system right now so I have a hard time understanding this. I have also been well trained by the old front office thinking about long term pitcher contracts. All that being said I don't think the contract is all that outrageous. He's the first $30 million a year pitcher but he will be far from the last or worst of the batch. It's what the market is and someone was going to give him around that much money. Fact is with the Red Sox struggling the last couple of years, Liverpool not achieving the way the ownership group would like, and their NASCAR team completely in the tank, Fenway Sports Group has a ton of cash and not much recent success so why not spend it?

I don't love David Price and I don't love Dave Dombrowski turning us into free agent mercenaries but it is what it is I guess.

the 4 years / $124m of player option part

i don't think it's much worse (actually prolly better) than a straight 7/215.  if he exercises the option, the red sox get price's presumptive best three years and avoid his presumptive worst four.  there is no more risk than with a straight 7 year contract.

it's only worse for the team (compared to a straight seven year contract, obviously it is worse than a straight three year contract) if you think that price's last four years will have more value than 31/year - which would be a pretty great outcome for boston, if it happened.



I completely agree with this. I think most itt has completely dismissed the possibility of Price opting out and I and obviously the Red Sox think that Price having three good years is the likely scenario. When that option comes up I bet there will be around 10 or more pitchers making $31/million.

really good article on the subject of player options in contracts.  on fangraphs, you saw a lot of discussion of how player options, by definition benefit the player at the expense of the team.  in reality, the player option tends to benefit both the player and the team at the expense of the market.

that fangraph's discussion acknowledged that the existence of the third player (the market) in the equation, but assumed that the team could access the market by trading the player.  imo, they were not fairly accounting for the psychological, frictional and p.r. costs of trading an established star player.

I'm not getting my hopes up this happens, but I would love to see their meltdown if the next thing to happen was Alex re-signs in KC then it comes out that he was offered a higher contract by StL.

actually the front-loaded/back-loadedness of the different contracts would also dramatically change their values, so we probably can't make any assumptions on the value of the opt outs (for that matter, the stl and wash contracts may have had opt outs as well).

gordon doesn't really make much sense for st louis.  i'd be kinda surprised if he ended up there.  i guess they could always trade one of their young outfielders and get something more useful to them.  but why not just go out and sign what they actually need instead of shuffling everyone around?

The Gottleib hate was dumb, but I think the Joe Buck hate and petition is a better example of Royals fans being idiots. Gottleib tries to be edgy and he absolutely knew that some people where going to interpret it the way they did and he was most likely hoping for it. Buck was simply acknowledging a great performance and Royals fans got butthurt that he didn't talk about them as much.

When you consider that a significant portion of Royals fans are also the same KU t-shirt fans that are constantly seeking KU validation it should come as no surprise.

And yes, every fan base definitely has a group like that. If you don't think so just look at the comments on almost any Gottleib tweet. Even if he says something glowingly positive about a team there's someone commenting on how he never can say anything positive about said team. For another example, since we're in the baseball thread, read a Buster Olney tweet's comments. He's even created a graphic showing tweets accusing him of being biased against almost every team.

The Joe Buck thing was the most embarrassing thing as a Royals fan. And yes I said Royals fan culture, all fan bases have a culture and a bit of a group identity, dunno why you'd take exception to that. I'd use that phrase when discussing KSU fans, Chiefs fans, Wichita St fans, whatever....

I mean, we're discussing this with a Red Sox fan, they definitely have a culture

Interesting, and what's that?

It's not a coincidence that Royals and Cardinal fans act the way they do.  They are both an unholy blend of K-State, KU, Missouri, Nebraska, and Iowa State fans.  Just look how those fanbases act and you see how Royals fan act.  It's drawing from the exact same population set.

So this looks like "we deserve this because we do things the right way but no one loves us but you really really should love us."

I'll backtrack a bit on fan culture. Sure fans do have a culture but I think the culture is more defined in fan bases that are more regional than national. I think for Red Sox and Yankee fans if you live in Kansas you're likely to have a much different impression of what a Red Sox fan who has spent his whole life living in the midwest than one who grew up in southie. Strangely enough, well it isn't strange the history of the two franchises dictate this, but Red Sox fans in New England are impatient people who hate everyone and everything and are never satisfied. However, Yankee fans that I know from NY are always confident that they will win the world series and every single signing is the best signing. I have found though that Red Sox fans outside of New England are generally happy with any and everything but Yankee fans outside of NY are impatient and have a chip on their shoulders.

I don't think to many of us here are going to argue that's the vibe given off by a lot of the Royals fan base this year. That's the whole KU validation thing I was talking about. Cardinals vibe is we're the best and if you don't love us you're a hater.

And yes, that's the exact culture I was referring to with the Red Sox.

actually the front-loaded/back-loadedness of the different contracts would also dramatically change their values, so we probably can't make any assumptions on the value of the opt outs (for that matter, the stl and wash contracts may have had opt outs as well).

15, then 21.5 and 21.5 in the first 3 years.  plus a 20 signing bonus.  so, 78 over the first three years.  hugely front-loaded, no wonder he took that deal.


signing bonus is deferred forever, though, so probably really more like 12-15 than 20.

seems like he was pretty aggressively discounted because his peripherals aren't as good as his actuals, his elbow is the subject of rumor and he's kind of a weirdo.


he also got a two year opt out, which cost him a fair bit off the top line, i'm sure.

sox prolly coming for gordon or cespedes now, right?  they can't be making a mortgage the future trade like that to get a win or two over .500.  they've got to have more moves coming.  they've got crap for corner outfielders and just sold thompson.  they've also got crap for a first baseman.  logically, they've got to improve prolly at least two of those spots.  makes the most sense to sign the fa corner outfielder and try to get a cheap first baseman to fill in.  because there aren't many good cheap corner outfielders.

Rules Changes confirmed on 2nd base takeout plays:

Baserunner must slide before the base.  No rolling blocks.  Must be within reach of base and make effort to stay on base following slide.  Can't change direction of slide purposefully to hit the fielder.

Runner and batter out for violation  :surprised:

But... neighborhood play is changed where 2nd basemen has to stay on 2nd during a turn.   :surprised:

Both are reviewable.. so much for pace of play.

Arrieta!

Back to Bonds vs. Griffey.

You could make the argument that playing Gold Glove CF is more valuable than playing Gold Glove LF. It's probably a winning one, but it's not enough to make Griffey a more valuable player than Bonds. They were both 5-tool (both had good arms, but not elite). Griffey was never better than Bonds tho.

Before tonight, they were only hitting .236 with a .382 Slug.  But they were ave 5.4 runs/game

They do look good, but Toronto was playing some ridiculous BB 2nd half of season,and we all know who beat them 4 of 6 games ;)

Arrieta!

Back to Bonds vs. Griffey.

You could make the argument that playing Gold Glove CF is more valuable than playing Gold Glove LF. It's probably a winning one, but it's not enough to make Griffey a more valuable player than Bonds. They were both 5-tool (both had good arms, but not elite). Griffey was never better than Bonds tho.

consider this: Bonds had 15 seasons with an OPS over 1.0. The Royals have 2 such seasons, both by Brett, in their history. Bonds is the best player in our lives by a wide margin.

Sorry, was playing a bit of tennis.
Less about Arrieta and more about how the media is treating him, look at this article
http://www.sbnation.com/mlb/2016/4/28/11526776/jake-arrieta-stephen-a-smith-cubs
I mean this guy essentially is saying, yeah I doubted McGuire and Bonds because of their change in look and numbers but its it's totally unfair to do it to Arrieta. WTF? This isn't the only article like this, as a matter of fact googling Arrieta and PED or steroids is just a million articles about people being pissed at Stephen A for even bringing it up. I mean the guy looks like rough ridin' Tarzan and his career arc changed essentially overnight. Why does he have so many people caping up and why is this guy where baseball nerds will draw the line?

One feat has happened 23 times, the other only 5 times. And perfect games usually have a couple of remarkable defensive plays to bail the pitcher out.

Depends on your adjective i suppose. A perfect game has been done what 23 times? 20 strikeouts has only been done 5.

1. Cf3

There are more leagues than Japan and MLB so its hard to know. FTR Ichiro is one of my all time favorite players to watch, I just wouldn't call him the hit king.

There is no way anyone could possibly think that Ichiro wouldn't have more hits than Pete Rose if he played his entire career here. Ichiro is absolutely a better hitter but why does Pete give a crap, they aren't taking his name out of the record book, even though he used a corked bat.

If you think 2014 and 2015 are indicative of his actual hitting talent?  Then yes, he'd have the 6th best wRC+ on the team.  This year he hasn't hit as well though, so including this year, he'd be 8th.  In his last 190 ABs he has 11 HRs.  That would make him the Royals best home run hitter since Dean Palmer.  If you aren't Sys, you would want him in the lineup.

Well, he bats every time he pitches in NL parks, so I don't think they should affect his pitching much.

Pitching your best pitcher in a tie game in the 9th and later against the opponent's best hitters is far from wasting him. A save isn't more valuable than keeping the game going. In the ninth he should have pitched to Donaldson leading off, and he definitely should have pitched once there were men on first and second and nobody out. You have the best reliever in baseball, and he gets to watch the highest leverage spots because some old school manager wants to keep him waiting for a save situation that may never appear.

Regardless of the outcome, Showalter should be fired because Britton isn't in the game

Why? If he pitched him in the ninth and tenth they would have wasted him. I do think Showalter should have walked Encarnation in the 11th and brought in Britton with one out and the bases loaded.
Pitching your best pitcher in a tie game in the 9th and later against the opponent's best hitters is far from wasting him. A save isn't more valuable than keeping the game going. In the ninth he should have pitched to Donaldson leading off, and he definitely should have pitched once there were men on first and second and nobody out. You have the best reliever in baseball, and he gets to watch the highest leverage spots because some old school manager wants to keep him waiting for a save situation that may never appear.

Does Britton hit? Even if Showalter uses him in the ninth and tenth we're still having a conversation about how Showalter used Britton after Jimenez blows the save after Baltimore takes the lead.

uh, no. starting in the 9th each inning you're out there is a potential season ending moment. to "save" your best player until you have a lead is horrible logic. yeah if you get the lead you STILL have to get 3 more outs, but you have to survive another inning first.

I mean, Britton is pretty much the consensus best reliever in the entire game. He's your best weapon. Its an elimination game! I know Ned waited until we got the lead in NYC to bring in Wade, BUT that wasn't an elimination game for us, AND he should've used him before Hoch. I mean, Wade was pitching the most low leverage moment of the entire series at the end. If you're the Orioles, there's no reason you can't have a 3 or 4 run 12th or 13th, then those last 3 outs aren't as big as the ones where you are facing elimination.

 :confused: I said he should have used him. My argument was simply that I understand why he didn't use him in the 9th, and it turned out not pitching him in the 9th was the right decision. I feel pretty much exactly how the authors of those two fangraphs articles feel. There was definitive logic on how Buck used the pen in the ninth and the tenth, kinda, O'day was questionable. The longer he went and the worst the pitcher used made it more inexcusable.

Freaking out about him not coming in the ninth doesn't make sense because it's kind of arbitrary. Why not freak out when he didn't come in after Tillman was lifted or at any point in the 6th, 7th, or 8th? If he brought Britton in for a perfect 7th and 8th and the Orioles won in the 10th we'd still have dorky seamheads playing the result.

The Cubs are probably the best team of our lifetimes. Sucks. They should win at least 2 more WS after they win this one with this core of talent.

They certainly are. They aren't as accomplished as even the mid 90's Indians though. Slow down.

k let me say it differently. The Cubs have a core of young talent, combined with really really good pitching, and their young position players still have upside. I can't remember very many teams looking this promising to be good for a long time.

YES, definitely. they will be good for quite a while.

you know what i was getting at though? it's not the 1998 yankees and their 114 win season that was great. it's the entire late 90's-early 00's yankees that won a zillion regular season games and like 200 postseason games and 4 world series in 5 years that makes them great

You know, I agree.  I can't seem to get over the idea of all the douchey wanna be Cubs fans I have met over the years. 
I have known LOADS of corporate Chicago eff holes who have loads of cash and just like to be fashionable and claim to be Cubs "fans." 

There are so many other reasons to like the Cubs (Second City folks, etc.), but I just can't do it.  I think it's a character defect of mine.

But, I don't think I like any teams who have multitudes of fans in other locales who have never lived in the general area of the team.

It's not the teams' fault they have loads of douche bag fans.  I know that.  But here we are.

Just razzing you pete.

I think there are a lot of Cubs "fans" because it's a very easy team to like, the anti-yankees in adorable packaging.   They are also one of the few teams that you have been able to watch on national TV for decades

Sup everyone.  Feels pretty good doesn't it?  Yeah. Soak it in.  I'm tired and hungover and emotionally exhausted today but I don't care.  I even got texts from a few friends last night that I know aren't Cubs fans or even baseball fans but they pretty much said they stayed up to watch the game just because of me.

I still don't know how the hell the Cubs did it.  They Cubs'ed it up in a very Cubs like fashion and then somehow unCubs'ed it all in one game.  Wow.

No one cared about Schilling's political views in 2004. Back then he was a great pitcher, like Sale, but he had the reputation of being a divisive figure in the clubhouse, like Sale, because of his big ass mouth. Wells was an out of shape shameless self promoter that burned every single bridge placed in front of him.

Here it goes cf3. We're in our all star districts championship game and we need to win to head to state (little League). We have our best hitter up to the plate in a tied game, with two outs, and a runner on 2nd (last inning). They want to intentionally walk him. So the catcher sets up outside and the pitcher lobs it to the left corner of the box. It looked outside enough to not worry about anything, but guess what? Bubba (his real name) leaned over and smacked it down the right field line and we won the 'ship! Man, what a ride!  :excited:

I've decided I'm all in on winning the World Baseball Classic.


Would be great if the WBC was more popular.  Can we beat Japan?  Probably not.  Tied 1-1 in the seventh.

Thing is he played so little that this is the pinnacle of MEH. It's not like taking that contract hit will have any effect the Red Sox spending. It's probably the richest ownership group in baseball, so it's whatever.

The specification on minimum park dimensions was put into place due to the stadium controversy surrounding the Brooklyn Dodgers' move to Los Angeles in 1958. The Dodgers played at the Los Angeles Memorial Coliseum while Dodger Stadium was being built, but the Coliseum was not designed to hold baseball games. The Coliseum's left-field fence was roughly 250 feet away from home plate and the club had to erect a 40-foot-high screen to protect against short home runs. The specification is not strictly enforced, however, so long as teams do not build parks that egregiously violate the rule. For example, Petco Park opened in 2004 and is officially 396 feet in center field, and Oriole Park at Camden Yards opened in 1992 and is 318 feet down the right-field line.

It's probably the toughest sport out there when it comes to mastering skill sets. Hitting a 90 mph fastball is very hard. Now add all the other junk they throw and it makes you want to lose your mind.

Nothing wrong with loving that moment.  It was the greatest bat flip in the history of bat flips and is what all future bat flips will be measured against.  It was totally appropriate for the situation too.  I have proclaimed my love for Joey Bats multiple times on this blog.

This (for me). I will fully admit the hatred is irrational and stupid. Part of it is because they quit on the season and made it and we went for it and didn't, so there is some dumb jealousy there too.

But I don't care and I only wish the Yankees had won by more. I do like that they were probably crushed after thinking "yeah, we're up 3-0, we got this".

I was at the very 1st Rockies home game when I lived in Colorado growing up. Gotta root for the purps tonight.

I think I've said this before, but in 93 when the Rockies came out I decided to make them my NL team and keep the Royals as my AL team. The Royals were in the beginning stages of sucking for a long time, so it was an easy decision to make. I even bought some Rockies gear and went to a couple games in Mile High, then Coors when it opened. I still did Royals stuff then, but I'd say the Rockies surpassed the Royals for 3-4 years, culminating in the Rockies' playoff appearance in 1995. Then it just became too difficult to really follow the Rockies (remember, internet was at its very beginning stages) and I went back full Royals in the late 90s even though we continued to be terrible. Now I barely follow the Rockies, but I will be cheer for the purple tonight.

Fav Rockies player _FAN? 90s had some great ones. Galaraga, Walker, Bichette, etc.

Bichette was my favorite. But I also really liked Walker, Galarraga, Castilla, and Young. Girardi was the catcher and Saberhagen pitched a bit for the Rocks in 95.
Caught a Galarraga "Big cat" Batting practice ball back in the day.

One other thing about the Rockies, I remember thinking in 1995 when they made the playoffs "man, the Rockies are only in their 3rd year of existance and made it while the Royals haven't made it in 10 years!"

If only I knew what was going to come (both the bad and the good).

Even by the time the Rockies made the WS in the 00s I pretty much quit following them and was Royals only.

The world series wins and the knowledge that my team doesn't have to say goodbye to the entire core of the team in their primes soften the blow.

Other than Game 7 the 2014 WS was kind of boring. 5 of the 7 games were blowouts.

2015 at least had a few entertaining games.

But nothing compares to what is going on with the Dodgers and Astros.

This is a bad take. I hate the NFL but the Super Bowl has been lit. The 2013 and 2016 NBA Finals were unreal. The Stanley Cup Finals are great, every year, the 2017 cfp championship, :surprised:

We're in a golden era of great championships.

I'm glad the Roys WS winner was 5 games and didn't come down to a game 7. The year before (and losing) was bad enough.

That said, any non-Roys WS should go 7 games and have ridiculous back and forth like this one.

Disagree on the shithole thing. There are definitely parts of the stadium that are showing their age but its not a monolith. In terms of architecture/design if you don't like dodgers stadium then you don't like the K - they are the two best examples of modernist design in american ballparks.

I like the design it just seems as if some of the facilities are outdated. The K is easily the superior ball park but the way they have you enter the stadium is odd.
You must enter the stadium at the section gate you are assigned, you just can't enter then find your seat. Also took the stairs clear to the top and it was a treat. Absolutely gorgeous setting, would much rather have the Dodgers stadium than the Angels Stadium if I were an LA Baseball fan.

I have been there.  It was in the 80’s and there are no pictures available and I don’t remember because I was a baby.  I didn’t know they had some renovations the last few years tho, so I can easily be convinced it’s not a shithole.

Oakland A's:
Liam Hendriks (19 1/3 IP for the AL Champion 2014 Royals) is opening for the A's tonight.
Ryan Buchter (27 IP for the 80-82 2017 Royals, crown jewel of the Matt Strahm trade) is in the bullpen.  Yankees don't have many LHB so I'm guessing he'll face Didi Gregorius at some point tonight.  Probably only face a batter or two.

While I watched the Red Sox score a million runs in the 4th tonight, I noticed that the Red Sox have some old friends coaching the bases for them.

At first base, is Tom Goodwin, undoubtedly a Sys favorite, who stole 150 bases in 375 career games with the Royals between 1994-1997.

At third base is a home grown product, who signed with the Royals out of the DR and played his entire career with the Royals. Famously one half (uno) of “Dos Carlos”: Carlos Febles!

I've been watching a lot of baseball this postseason after not much during the regular season. The complete focus on power arms and power bats makes the game so much less interesting for a fan watching who doesn't have rooting interest. Swing and miss, swing and miss, swing and miss, replay for 5 minutes on a call that wasn't game changing, swing and miss etc.

I'm becoming curmudgeony (more so than usual) about the style and pace of play. Even though I'm against pitch clocks, the games are hard to watch man.

1. Eliminate mound visits altogether
2. Eliminate mound visits on pitching changes, treat it like a pinch hitter. Manager can stay in the dugout, give the pitcher maybe 5 quick warm up tosses and play ball.
3. Eliminate replay. Its baseball, calls will be bad sometimes, I can live with that. Maybe on homeruns allow them, but thats it.
4. Robot umps for balls/strikes.
5. Headsets for pitchers/catchers.

2018 WS: #1 Payroll vs #3 Payroll
2017 WS: #1 Payroll vs #17 Payroll
2016 WS: #5 Payroll vs #18 Payroll
2015 WS: #13 Payroll vs #15 Payroll
2014 WS: #5 Payroll vs #18 Payroll
2013 WS: #3 Payroll vs #10 Payroll
2012 WS: #5 Payroll vs #8 Payroll

Hopefully this year is an outlier in this trend. Its clear you can't win being in the bottom 3rd in payroll, but its been nice in recent years seeing teams like Houston, Cleveland, KC being in the middle of the pack in payroll and playing in the World Series.

IIRC they set up a video camera in the outfield and relayed the video back to the clubhouse so their batter could be tipped off to the next pitch.  Or something like that.

Stealing signs is fine, just do it the good old fashioned way - with a baserunner.

Baseball players are generally petty, childish, dipshits. Baseball fans are also morons. I hate the crap out of the Astros but this is getting ridiculous. The dummies in and around baseball can't even be bothered to check his home road splits. The guy hit 70! SEVENTY! 7fucking0! points better on the road than he did at home in 2017. He only hit .311 at home that year. Everyone is rough ridin' dumb.

It only happened at home because they were using their cameras to record the catcher.

The cheating didn't work so it's ok?

There have been Astros that indicated that he didn't participate, it's well known that they all didn't. Seems pretty clear to anyone paying attention that Altuve didn't. Every single game the Astros played is on video, they don't have a stitch of video with the banging going on during any of his at bats.

The Astros are rough ridin' cheaters, I'm not the one you defend them, but it's equally ridiculous to go Salem Witch Trials with this given it's pretty rough ridin' easy to determine who was doing it and who wasn't. It's also completely juvenile and so on baseball brand to have others respond by throwing a baseball at another human.

Vigilante baseball is very gross and on brand. Unfortunately looking the other way at cheating is very on brand as well.

As for altuve, I hope you're right, I definitely haven't gone more than surface deep with this thing. That "evidence" of wearing a wire or whatever because he didn't want his shirt ripped off always seemed reaching to me.

I would assume the camera set up/communication was either only at home or much easier to do at home.  I'm 100% just speculating though.

I also think they used buzzers though.  I would have overlooked Altuve's jersey thing until there were 3 different reasons as to why he kept the jersey on.  You either have one good excuse or you're making crap up.  Same thing with someone calling in sick to work.

the pitch hit him in the foot and every credible person that has weighed in on it has said that it was obviously not intentional but people love the drama. I'm sure once april gets here there will probably be a few brush backs for any current astros players that were on that 2017 team, regardless of whether or not they participated in the clicker/trash can banging stuff.

There have been several baseball players threatening to or saying someone else should hit the Astros. It's incredibly dumb, even more so given that they all cheat; sign stealing, bull frog using, ped pumping, greenie popping, head hunting, hypocrisy machines.

Agreed. I don't think it matters how egregious the cheating is, what matters is whether or not you get caught.

They're leading by 1 HBP so I wouldn't read too much into it.

I listened to a podcast breakdown that made a compelling case that none of the 7 HBPs were intentional. Only the Bregman and Altuve plunkings were anyone who had major league experience, and both of them were hit by minor leaguers as well, Bregman on a 3-2 breaking ball.

Yeah but the crowd lacking in big moments definitely takes away from the experience. The Liverpool celebration yesterday was awkward, and the English Championship celebrations were worse. The only big sports moment that I've seen that felt bigger than watching a video game was this. My man using the spray as a smoke bomb was lit

I want to know what Young was thinking. Kelly's was all over the place, the entire inning, he couldn't throw a strike at all. He's a fastball pitcher that had to throw breaking balls to get anywhere near the plate. Did Kelly get 8 games for making faces? I don't think there's a chance in hell all 8 games hold up in the appeal.

His early plate numbers are similar if not flat better than Trout. I don't know about his fielding though. Unless of course you're calling Mookie Betts the goat then yeah, I agree that Tatis won't be as good as Mookie.

They are similar for sure. Trout debuted a bit younger. Betts is great, but wasn’t great until quite a bit older than Trout or Tatis Jr.

I hope Tatis keeps it up, he’s so fun to watch. He’s pretty average defensively, he’ll probably move to 3rd, and I doubt he ends up on the level of Trout and (below him) Betts.

Between Tatis, Acuña and Soto there is some exciting, great young talent in baseball right now.

The (likely?) GOAT plays a little further north in California.  Tatis is phenomenal though.  The White Sox traded him for a washed up James Shields LOL.

His early plate numbers are similar if not flat better than Trout. I don't know about his fielding though. Unless of course you're calling Mookie Betts the goat then yeah, I agree that Tatis won't be as good as Mookie.
They are similar for sure. Trout debuted a bit younger. Betts is great, but wasn’t great until quite a bit older than Trout or Tatis Jr.

I hope Tatis keeps it up, he’s so fun to watch. He’s pretty average defensively, he’ll probably move to 3rd, and I doubt he ends up on the level of Trout and (below him) Betts.

Between Tatis, Acuña and Soto there is some exciting, great young talent in baseball right now.

Cross post. Pay for play is pricing potential young American stars from the sport.

So I’ve gotten back into the sports card hobby a bit. How good are these  Tatis and Luis Robert fellows? Their cards are absolutely on fire.

Yep. For all the pitfalls of the AAU setup and the handlers and grifters associated, it is set up much better than baseball in this regard.

i think they should have kept lugo as the closer and went out and found another starter. i mean yeah who would have thought at the beginning of spring training that noah and stroman would be out for the entire season (other than, you know, its the mets, when don't they have a everyone injured) but lugo can't go more than around 50 pitches anyway so like, why bother?

Sometimes diaz can manage if its the start of an inning, but if he inherits runners you can put it on the board at least one of them is going to score.

It's the most confounding streak in sports, there's literally no explanation. I've been to a few games at Target Field, they were from the absolute best home field advantage, to as sterile as a baseball environment that I've ever seen, nice stadium though. Anyway, you'd think they would have managed a 2-0 shut out at some point.

Both are animals found in the area of the team that they are named for. They dropped the devil for the dumbest reason ever. Their new owners wanted to rebrand, which is fine, but they wanted to exercise the devil from their franchise when they brought the team, as they were historically shitty when they were sold.

True. I guess most old baseball names are just relatively vague or have moved so they have little to do with the area anyway. Minor league names seem to be more local/regional/mascot based. Prairie dogs around Amarillo? Let's call the team the Sod Poodles and have a prairie dog mascot! But recent MLB team names are similar since they're making a connection with the area.

There could be a 25 page thread about the A's stadium possibilities over the last 25 years, but they've been pushing for this guy the last 2 years. Made some adjustments with each new announcement.

A big portion of Atlanta fans, yeah, no one else cares. If someone did I'd ask them if they know where the 2022 All Star Game is scheduled to be at, I bet I can count the number of people who could tell me that without looking it up.

That bullpen is still poop. 

I am getting concerned about the sloppy play of the infielders, especially up the middle where we should be stronger.

Lindor will start hitting I am sure, but his ABs so far haven't looked great.

agreed, for as much as the bullpen improvement was hyped up this spring...i'm not really seeing it. Starters gunna have to go 7. Leaving way too many guys on base so far. Lindor has flashed some leather but has also goofed a couple times to offset the good stuff. Jeff has been fine at 2B so far imo.

also chingon idk if you saw this afternoon's game...if you didn't then i won't spoil it for you but i'm not sure how i feel about that ending.

to improve morale one of the players (they won't say who) showed up calling himself Donnie Stevenson. (Dom Smith might be the obvious choice b/c same initials, but my theory is that it was Pete Alonso b/c Pete is a silly goose). Anyway, not much is known about Donnie other than his favorite song is Takin Care of Business and his hitting philosophy is "rippin' heaters".

Ever since Donnie showed up they have started to actually score some runs so that's cool. Lindor is the only one who is still white hot dog crap at the plate, Pete has shown the most dramatic improvement but really everyone not named Francisco Lindor is hitting a lot better.

Probs part of the reason Chili got fired...when one of the players decides to take over being the hitting coach and immediately they get dramatic results...doesn't surprise me that Chili was in the hot seat.

Try and wait until late August when you can catch a Mets game then walk across the parking lot to the US Open, the coolest sporting event you'll likely ever see.

at the clip guys are going down, we are going to be lucky to win 25% of the remaining games in May. They said on the broadcast that this wasn't the first time Pillar had gotten hit in the face...he got hit in the chin in 2018 and was back in the lineup the next day. I'm guessing in 2018 he didn't suffer multiple nasal fractures, so im sure he will be out for a while. I'm really just glad he was able to get up and walk off the field.

Purvis Pasco is going to send you the bill from his chiropractor because his crown is so heavy its causing him neck problems

But stepping outside the kstateosphere I would also say Jean Van de Velde's 72nd hole at the 99 British Open

Pervis Pasco's blunder wasn't close to the scale of this, his mistake lasted a fraction of a second. This is the the equivalency of Pervis doing it again if Colorado got a five second call after his first #1.

Van de Velde wasn't idiotic play, it was a choke job, a sudden loss of skill because he couldn't take the pressure.

Same reason why the catcher tried to apply a tag to the baserunner instead of Baez. Same reason Baez celebrated with a safe signal instead of busting his ass back to first. Same reason neither the pitcher or 2nd baseman covered first. Either what ipa said or they're all exceptionally stupid.

The Nationals need to send Victor Robles back down to Triple AAA.... consistently making huge base running errors... like tonight trying to advance from first to second on a soft fly ball in right field.
As the Nationals are likely to waive the White flag on this season who will be the biggest buyers.

Max is day to day....but honestly I dont know if the Nats will "gamble" the fire sale. However, really doubtiful they'd trade him to a division rival more likely Cardinals, Padres, or an American League team.

We'll see how this season keeps going but Rizzo needs to figure it out because this is not the 2019 season where we had a wildcard chance the National League East is only getting one team in the playoffs.

Welpf that’s like 5 Mets pitchers to get injured in the last week. We could get away with having no offense when we had great starting pitching and a solid bullpen but we’re dead to rights unless they can either a) bring in a few good arms or b) figure out how to get degrom on the bump every 2 days instead of 5.

At least you Mets fans have something to look forward to this year (or at least interesting games left). The Nationals waived the white flag which of course was right to do. So for the next year or two the Nationals are more interested in drafting than playing in October. Oh well though the 2019 World Series still says Washington Nationals. Good Luck Mets fans I hope you get the over the hump this year.

Apparently he was the driving force behind the game happening but I found his inclusion with everything surrounding the game a bit awkward. I was half expecting him to be waiting for Anderson at home plate with a golden corn trophy and another speech.

my 8 year old is obsessed with baseball and hasn't watched field of dreams and I was explaining all the dad/son stuff about it and we watched the game and it ruled.

I think the movie is boring and cheesy.

I like it, but it's a lot of work up for the moments you already know and hear constantly. I don't know that it's a rewatch.

Yeah.  Nice guy, but heads had to roll.  I'm ready for a post Sandy era, but who knows what that will bring.

I'd love to do the following (but likely won't happen):

Re-sign Javy
Re-sign Stro
Re-sign Loup
QO Conforto
QO Thor
Keep Villar at third unless magic happens

The following players should not be starters:
Dom Smith
McNeil
McCann
Pillar
Davis

Lose from the pen:
Familia
Hand
Castro

Yeah.  Nice guy, but heads had to roll.  I'm ready for a post Sandy era, but who knows what that will bring.

I'd love to do the following (but likely won't happen):

Re-sign Javy agree he is fun and its fun to watch him and Lindor together
Re-sign Stro strongly agree
Re-sign Loup strongly agree
QO Conforto sure. he seems kinda ho-hum about staying here, wouldn't be surprised if he went elsewhere. Love his defense but when he gets on a cold streak...
QO Thor who? oh yeah. that guy i haven't seen throw a ball in like 2 years. Sure. Even if his velocity is down I think he's better than half the regular starters
Keep Villar at third unless magic happens i don't think we have any reason to think we'll get a better 3B so yeah that's cool. If its Villar or Davis I'll take Villar

The following players should not be starters:
Dom Smith if the NL gets the DH next year then I'm fine with Dom at 1st and Pete DH, the difference level between Dom and Pete at first isn't much. One of my favorite things about Pete at 1B that he didn't do much this year is on a pickoff when he would pretty much just club the runner in the face when trying to swipe tag even if the runner was safe by a mile he'd do it anyway and im like well that's a little dirty but its also fun to watch
McNeil yeah, his best quality was his ability to put the ball in play, and i can't even count the number of times this year we had a guy on 3rd, less than 2 hour and jeff couldn't get him home. pathetic. if he keeps hitting like he did this year then i think he'd be a great addition to the benchmob
McCann meh, him and nido are interchangable to me. McCann has a slightly better arm but Nido strikes out way less.
Pillar i like him in left. better than Dom or Jeff. Depending on what happens w/ Conforto we might not have other options
Davis benchmob

Lose from the pen:
Familia yeah he's washed up. we'll always have 2015 right up until but most definitely not including the WS
Hand b y e
Castro i'd get rid of Diaz before Castro. The other Diaz. Not that i've been particularly impressed with Edwin but he looked better this year than his previous time in a mets uniform

Appealing to the 1st or 3rd base ump is a dumb way of determining a swing anyway.  Hey let's ask that guy who is 120 feet away what he thinks.   :flush:
Title: Re: MLB master thread(non-Royals related) (no longer the official Mets thread)
Post by: BIG APPLE CAT on October 15, 2021, 03:09:11 PM
hes the ump with the best vantage point as to whether or not the batter offered at the pitch. The only better vantage point would be in the dugout but it would be weird for an ump to be in there.

He did clearly eff up that call and i don't know why, as an ump, you would have it in your brain to err on the side of calling it a swing if it means the end of the game...especially an elimination game. I would think if they are appealing a check swing you would want to be pretty damn sure before putting your fist in the air.

All that being said, I don't find it that terribly eggregious because it was 0-2 or 1-2 and there wasn't a RISP. if there was a RISP then yeah i'd be a lot more pissed about that call but realistically the giants were not going to win on wilmer's plate appearance. best case he gets a single. also wilmer was 0-17 lifetime against Max, so, statistically speaking it was probably headed for the same outcome.

Eh, I guess. With 1 out and a guy on 3rd, only if shaw hits one in the gap does verdugo score, otherwise it’s just 1 run. I suppose if they are confident in Shaw’s ability to put it in play they could hit and run to stay out of a DP but like you said, they only scored 3 runs in the previous 27 innings so I would be reluctant to risk stranding a guy on 3rd.

Buck Showalter was being a huge bitch last night which isn't surprising because Buck Showalter is a huge bitch. Very likeable team with a very unlikable manager, biggest crybaby OAT. It's like the White Sox or the Astros in reverse.

i mean...in 2 games he's had 3 guys get hit above the shoulders. I'd be mad as hell too that the opposing teams pitchers can't control their stuff and were hitting my multi-time all star players in the face. (any of my players really, but especially the all stars). I think mets players got hit above the shoulders maybe 3 times total last season. Watching the blood gushing from Pillar's nose still gives me chills.

I don't know how to feel about it. On the one hand i understand that players are going to get hit by pitches, and i also understand sometimes those HBPs are going to be a little scary. And i get that part of the game is needing to keep hitters a little bit afraid. If hitters knew they were always safe then everyone would do like Anthony Rizzo and crowd the plate, and if you try to throw him inside he's already looking in and is ready to turn on it.

On the other hand, the really scary thing about it is that its abundantly clear those plunks were accidents, but instead of a guy losing his breaking pitch, he's throwing his gas but doesn't have very good command of it. Seems shitty that a guy could have his career (or at the very least his season) ended because the pitcher isn't good enough to command his pitches.

I mean I get it, but his act last night was pure theatre. Every single person in the whole wide world who saw Lindor get hit saw that he only got hit because he squared to bunt and was right over the plate.

Showalter will eventually wear thin, just like he has everywhere else he's been. He's sober Tony LaRussa.

That's fair, I think most people realize that was Buck doing his performance theater, but lucky for him he's replacing Rojas who only seemed to really get animated about balls and strikes. I don't think Rojas would have come charging out for his players. So in that sense it's refreshing, for now anyway

Post by: BIG APPLE CAT on April 14, 2022, 12:58:36 AM
as a fan, you never want to see a guy get pulled when he has a perfect game going. But as a manager, my objective is to win the WS so if Kershaw overworks himself and gets injured and has to miss a couple starts bc he was going for a perfect game then that seems like a bad trade off.

That said, if I was Kershaw I would have lied and said I was having some tightness in my elbow so we took me out as a precaution. I'll be getting an MRI tomorrow. And then if course he won't need one so he can lie and say it came back clean and everyone applauds them for doing the right thing for the long term health of the players

He’s also thrown a no-hitter before.   So you’re not taking away something he’s yet to accomplish.  Still sucks as a fan watching a game with a no-hitter and the pitcher gets pulled.

It wasn't even just a no-no it was a perfect game he had in tact. If it was a no hitter when he got pulled I don't think it would have been as big of a deal... There were like 4 of them last year. I think they said there have only been something like 24 or 27 perfect games in the history of mlb

It wasn't even just a no-no it was a perfect game he had in tact. If it was a no hitter when he got pulled I don't think it would have been as big of a deal... There were like 4 of them last year. I think they said there have only been something like 24 or 27 perfect games in the history of mlb

I feel like Clayton Kershaw has done everything you could want to get our of your career as a pitcher (no hitter, Cy Young and World Series). A perfect game would build his legacy even more. However, I'm sure Mir or one of these other guys will come back with how it could prevent him from climbing all-time lists for K's or Wins or something.

I'm going to come back with exactly what yla said. He didn't care, so I don't know why we're still talking about it. If he told Dave Roberts not to take him out, he would have continued to pitch in that game. I'm gonna guess that Kershaw knows his arm better than any of us.

based on my eldest son's first name starting with the letter H and him realizing that at like 3 years old the astros have a giant H in their logo we are a Houston astros family. I am currently listening to the astros broadcast and watch 5 astros games for every royals game I am able to catch. asically I'm now an astros fan.

and EVERYONE tells us how much they hate the astros. obviously the pitch stealing was a basis for it. but I think they are a very easy to hate club too. and, folks, this is perfect for little sd and I. he hates nebraska because all his classmates like them. he and I are peas in a pod here.

lil SDs room is absolute fire. I don't think the pitch stealing by itself is why everyone hates the stros so much i think it has more to do with how much success they've had recently, like they've been in the ALCS like basically every year for the last 6 years or whatever and people get tired of one team always being on top. And to chong's point i agree, the altuve factor alone should keep the astros off of most people's most hated team, he is as adorable as he is good at baseball.

also that no-hitter game for Cin man that's nuts. imagine pitching 7.1 no-hit innings and still taking a loss.

chongs what do we do about Max being out the next 6-8 weeks? I am not confident Peterson alone is going to hold things over. If Tylore only misses a couple of starts then maybe we just hold serve and hope for the best, but my gut is telling me we might need to offer up JD or Dom to get a good top of the rotation guy. I would miss Dom a lot more than JD. Not to mention there are a lot of big series happening in the next 6-8 weeks that would just really suck if we didn't have an ace available. I mean crap just looking at the entire month of june...even if we did have an ace I can't help but think going 13-12 in June would be a really good result. without some help that could easily be an 8-17 kind of month.

I am pretty bummed about Max (and Tylor).  It's going to stress the bullpen, and I just don't know if this will carry over to the end of the season. 

If we can survive June in first place that'll be very impressive and set us up to pull away IMO. 

The Marlins are concerning (oddly enough I am not too worried about the Braves --- probably foolishly).

I would keep Dom over JD just to give Pete a break or get the better glove in, but he's got to start producing more at the plate too.

Post by: BIG APPLE CAT on May 23, 2022, 01:36:39 PM
Yeah after the Rockies series I am pretty much done with JD. he’s not great at 3B, his only real value at this point would be his hitting and he isn’t hitting and hasn’t been at all this season. ESP with how well Luis is playing he can just be the utility rover for whoever needs a day off at 2B/SS/3B. I’m worried his stock has been dropping since he hasn’t done crap so it might be hard to get a high end pitcher for him (and I would imagine a couple prospects)

With how hard the bullpen has had to work I think we’re lucky if we win 1 in SF. Hopefully philly is still slumping when they come to town and we can limp through that series and steal a couple

I was disappointed with how poorly Bassit pitched. I said a couple days ago i thought we'd be lucky to get 1 out of 3 in SF and even though we could have definitely won the first 2 i'm reminding myself that we are still probably lucky to have avoided the sweep.

dang chongs i didn't get a chance to watch the sunday game until p late last night but that was a roller coaster.

Also admittedly i kinda dozed off in the middle...was there an explanation for why Diaz was pitching the 8th and Lugo the 9th?

It was so Diaz would face the top of the order (Betts, Freddy and Trea). 

Unfortunately, the quaterrican blew it against the bottom of the order.

chongs what do we do about Max being out the next 6-8 weeks? I am not confident Peterson alone is going to hold things over. If Tylore only misses a couple of starts then maybe we just hold serve and hope for the best, but my gut is telling me we might need to offer up JD or Dom to get a good top of the rotation guy. I would miss Dom a lot more than JD. Not to mention there are a lot of big series happening in the next 6-8 weeks that would just really suck if we didn't have an ace available. I mean crap just looking at the entire month of june...even if we did have an ace I can't help but think going 13-12 in June would be a really good result. without some help that could easily be an 8-17 kind of month.

We're going to do it!!!

i'd love to get Drury back but i guess he has a pretty high price tag (for a rental). Speaking of Angels pitchers I would be A-OK if we could get Loup back, for LH reliever. I have no idea what is going on w/ his contract tho.

If we were going to get Ohtani, this would be the year. He wants to win. It doesn't look like LAA is setting them up to be winners anytime soon, so he might get outta there.

Even if McCann comes back healthy i still wouldn't mind if we got Contraras. Having 3 catchers seems dumb but McCann isn't very reliable...he's like a 1/2 player.

chongs how you feelin about us using Diaz to get 6 outs? In general i'm okay with it but i'm not sure how much i like it on game 1 of a 5 game series against the 2nd place team. Maybe Buck is counting on our bats to be lit today. I think getting game 1 was definitely important for setting the tone...but im worried this might have been a bit short sighted.
Title: Re: MLB master thread(non-Royals related) (no longer the official Mets thread)
Post by: CHONGS on August 05, 2022, 09:12:00 AM
I like it. Now the pressure is a lot lower for the rest of the series and the players can play freely. The Mets can't leave the series in second place anymore. 

Of course it also shows we need a solid 7th inning guy.
Title: Re: MLB master thread(non-Royals related) (no longer the official Mets thread)
Post by: BIG APPLE CAT on August 05, 2022, 09:43:15 AM
yeah, Cookie was humming right along and i thought he would easily go 7 and all it took was one bad inning and then he ends up going the same distance as the braves starter. We definitely need a 7th inning guy, I think Tylor will fill that role nicely when he's healthy.

The most glaring thing for me last night...i'm now thinking that if we would have got Contreras i would very confidently say we are cruising to the NLCS. Its frustrating b/c from all accounts it sounds like the cubs were really just playing themselves by not dealing him. Like, we missed out on what could have been a crucial piece because the cubs were feeling recalcitrant. I think like 2 or 3 of McCann's plate appearances were situations where a base hit or even a productive out could have done some damage. I'm not sure Nido would have fared much better. Nido takes such a long swing, most of the time when he gets a hit i don't really think "nice at-bat Nido" i think "lucky us that his bat just happened to collide with the ball".  Don't get me wrong Nido is a very good defensive catcher and i'm not sure i've seen any catcher throw out as many guys at 2nd from their knees as he does. But Contreras loves to sling it around and back pick, i don't think Nido's defense is appreciably better than Contreras but Contreras's bat is head and shoulders above McCann and Nido combined, imho.

Post by: CHONGS on August 05, 2022, 09:46:14 AM
It would have been great to get Contreras, but the Cubs were playing games.  I feel more confident with Nido than McCann, Nido can at least bunt and he's strangely better than expected with RISP. 

But Alvarez is the answer eventually.
Title: Re: MLB master thread(non-Royals related) (no longer the official Mets thread)
Post by: BIG APPLE CAT on August 05, 2022, 10:17:02 AM
yeah i was hearing rumblings they might call up Alvarez after the trade deadline but i think they were intentionally floating that rumor out there to make the cubs think we had other options. Good point on Nido's ability to put down a bunt. He is a pretty reliable sac bunter. I know he's got good numbers w/ RISP but I've felt like that is fools gold all season, and i don't know why. Maybe its because he strikes out so much, or maybe its because i can only think of like 3 at-bats where he looked like he actually had a clue where the ball was going. Every other time its like he just takes the exact same uppercut swing and the pitcher just happens to throw it in his swing plane.

I'm really loving the pick up of Vogelbach like he is just so good at the plate. Naquin availed himself nicely in his home opener as well. These dudes feel like they will have the same effect as Uribe and Kelly Johnson. I think Contreras would have been our Cespedes.

in awe at the size of these lads. absolute U N I T S.

Also apparently Vogelbach is an incredibly popular guy in every clubhouse. He goes and makes friends with pretty much everybody and is v funny. Vogelbach hit his first HR as a Met and then quickly hit another, and said "I hit my homeruns in bunches...just like i get my donuts"  :lol:

so adorable and likeable.

Machado has become my favorite player. He's one of those guys that every other player really seems to like, always chatting it up and laughing with every guy that makes it to 3rd.  Also a great 3rd baseman.

I hope he moves to 1st base when he gets older so he can chat it up with more guys during a game.

I played a lot of baseball, but I'm just not a fan of watching it unless we have a competitive team. My god, 2014-2015 feels like decades ago. I never thought I'd miss a sung Woo lee story. MLB has to be in major trouble. There's nothing appealing to watch right now. All these teams can burn in a fire.

Yes, he’s having a time for sure

The NLCS has teams you can root for and are fun, the ALCS both teams should lose and let the NLCS play a part 2.

It's been clear for a long time that MLB doesn't see itself as a steward of the game the way the NBA does with basketball for instance, but moving to robot umps will have a terrible impact on the sport. They are so worried about borderline pitches that they aren't taking into consideration all the unintended consequences.

Yeah, it's tough to see side to side on that. I do think it's a cool tool though. His 8 year old getting a perfect score is completely irrelevant because you're guessing on most of those.

I thought he pitched really well. Hard to believe his fast ball still touches 98 at his age and after surgery. Slider and Curve still have nice bite as well.  Honestly after watching the game last night the Astros are pretty likeable, outside of Altuve.

I'm not sure what kinda ways to feel about stuff. Last year at the trading deadline i was really hoping we'd pick up Robertson and/or Quintana, and i'm happy to have them in the rotation this year. Sad that Bassett and Walker are gone. Those guys at Jomboy love the yankees and even they are saying they are kinda jealous of how the mets are making moves, but i can't tell if they are saying it in the same way we were like "oh wow, good move by ku to get Weis/Gill/Miles!"
i dunno. anyway, very glad we signed Nimmo for the next 8 years he's such an all around good player.

i guess if he's playing 3rd then escobar will just be a platoon guy. Only thing i really liked about Escobar was dude could throw a rope to Pete pretty much every time, and i remember in previous years thinking how frustrating it was how often other teams would get infield hits because our 3B couldn't make a good throw to get him out. As long as Correa is zippin it over then i am okay with this.

CHONGS i won't lie...i would absolutely love to buy a championship. i don't even care. i don't need the 5 heart try hards, i just want a ring babey. its our turn. its been our turn.

I haven’t been paying all that close attention to the new rule changes but from a video I watched it sings like Max could really benefit a ton from the pitch clock rules. Like it sounds like his strategy is basically going to be to get a guy to call time early in the count. And since you only get one he will then just do whatever he wants to disrupt your timing bc you can’t step out anymore.
I remember last year how his worst games were the ones where batters would keep stepping out on him and disrupting his rhythm and he would get really frustrated and just end up having a terrible game. Seems life this should be good for him!

Yeah. spring training games averaged 22 minutes shorter. Here's a good article on the rules changes. Now all they need to do is get rid of blackouts and that's apparently coming sooner rather than later.

I agree. I think it’s perfectly fine to not want a broken bone in your hand as a result of a foul ball headed your way. On that topic: 1st and 3rd base coaches. You don’t need to bare hand the foul balls coming your way nobody is going to think less of you if you just let it go

GLAD YOU BROUGHT THIS UP! We were like 5th row just to the third base side of home plate. Never getting a ball there, right? WRONG! There’s that gap by the dugout and the Meyers foul blasted off the giant camera and was coming in hot. I was like a 4/7 and not really “on my toes” but rest assured lil sd was and jumped up and gloved it!

Kind of a connect of errors. Like obvs even the best players are going to go through slumps during the season, but to have nimmo,lindor,Alonso,baty and vogey all slumping at the same time. And marte is only just now coming out of a prolonged slump.

my gutcheck opinion of Ottavino is that he sucks. But I think as of last week he had some ridiculous streak of innings w/o a run allowed. or at least not an earned run. But yeah, Miguel Cabrera getting a bad jump could steal 2nd on him, and even if the data doesn't support it, i think he just kinda sucks.

"Well we're going LIVE on the field to Juan Soto! Juan how are you these days?"
"Hey doing good"
"Juan, this is your third all star game, what is your favorite part of all star week?"
"Oh just being around the guys..."

I will also note that the HBP was obviously coming after how he posed for that homer. It could be bases loaded in the 9th of game 7 of the WS and Maldonado is making you take one for that.

I'll have fun watching the Francisco boys.  I think we have a decent chance of sneaking into the playoffs, but starting pitching might be our downfall. We don't have a true number one, and that was before Senga got delayed.

J. D. will help take stress off the black hole known as the Mets DH. But that's only if he stays healthy.

3rd base is going to be trouble, but the rest of the defense should be fine.

If Marte can get back to form then this team might even be dangerous on offense.
