Time for Terry to be creative to shake things up...

We are 0-for-Hefner this season...Ike is hitting/fielding like a pitcher...

Hefner's splits:
vs RH batters: .183 BAA; .257 OBP; .313 Slugging Percentage; .570 OPS;
vs LH batters: .353 BAA; .439 OBP; .691 Slugging %; 1.130 OPS;

Ike bats 9th & pitches vs every LH'd batter...Hefner bats 8th and plays first vs every LH'd batter...

but even then, you would need the other teams with potential rookies not to get rained out so that they become the "super 2's" so that the ownership group don't have to pay Wheeler one single extra penny...and even then, you would figure that Wheeler's gonna use up close to 1/2 of his allotted 2013 innings in the minors...

What I'm getting at.

Delaying for what? For a more affordable future? It's so damn deafeatest and limited in scope. If 2013 is fruitful, we will find a way to pay for the roster in 2018. If 2013 isn't fruitful, it won't matter how much money we save in 2018. It won't be enough.

It's hard enough choosing between the needs of the team in the short term versus the needs of the player (and his ability to help the team) in the long term, when deciding whether to promote him. Adding this nebulous date that controls what he'll be paid years down the road --- IF he doesn't flame out or succumb to injury --- is folly. It over-complicates the decision, bringing in enough factors to paralyze you.

Okay, and conversely, willfully ignoring the Super Two/team-control thing is no-impulse-control, WFAN-dum-dum thinking at ITS worst (or can be, anyway), just as limited in scope. As for the down-the-road-never-coming thing, well... I mean, hell, a lot of things can happen-- why plan at all, if you're a GM? Empty your gun, Sandy-- WE'RE NOT GETTING YOUNGER, HARVERD!

I just think, any day with a good player available to win games for you is a blessed day borrowed from eternity, and it may never be available to you again.

Youth, athleticism, beauty. It's all so fleeting.

Re: IGT>5/24<Braves @ Mets-Hefner's Gotta Be Due! Ike,We Nee

first off, not denying it's not the reason, but that Wheeler is staying down for solely super-2 reasons feels a little "they're so broke" conspiratorial.

He also just missed a start prior to the last one with an issue serious enough to require going to get checked out. At this point another 2-3 starts isn't really making or breaking anything for the Mets season. No Mets pitcher is standing out as a beacon of "omg can't let this guy start anymore" Hefner has made some good ones. He could certainly compete for 2-3 more starts just fine.

I personally couldn't care less about super-2, even early free agency. It's the Mets job to worry about that stuff and how to keep players around. I'd consider us lucky to get to the point where 4-5 years down the road we're fretting about that like he's going to be the most coveted free agent. But at this point, when it's just a couple of weeks in what's so far a very poor season, hell..save the couple of bucks.

Wheeler coming up tomorrow or in two months isn't going to change the trajectory of this season. Having an extra year before he hits free agency is much more valuable than a couple of weeks in 2013.

Re: IGT>5/24<Braves @ Mets-Hefner's Gotta Be Due! Ike,We Nee

I agree that there are perfectly basebally reasons not to call up Wheeler. But I disagree that calling up Wheeler tomorrow vs. two months from now doesn't change the the trajectory of the season or have meaning. If he's ready, he's ready. If he can help, he can help.

Though I'm certainly not suggesting that either of those notions is true.

He'll be up soon enough, and I'm not lamenting the lack of a ballplayer I feel entitled to. I am, instead, lamenting the diminution of naturally evolving progressive competitive baseball. Pitches and swings should be deciding the course of the game and the season, not bureaucratic loopholes. Who ever gave a curtain call to a bureaucratic loophole?

I beg to differ. RBI single is an RBI single. Anything more would have been nice but getting that guy in from third was his job there. And he did it w/o making an out.

The low curve against Ike with two strikes was as predictable as the sun going down. The strange part is that they put it as high as his ankles, when it's a safe and sure move to bounce it off the plate.

If the Mets hadn't tied the game in the bottom of the eighth, would the Braves have had an eight-inning win? Or would they still have resumed the game today? I know that before the recent rule change, it would have been an eight-inning game either way, but now I'm not so sure. Do all suspended games get resumed, or just those that are tied?

What changed in the rule was that a tie game no longer simply gets wiped off the books entirely and gets replayed from scratch. Everything else, as far as I know, remains the same.

So, yeah, had the Mets not scored after a complete 8th inning the Braves would have won an 8 inning game. But the 'whole 8th inning' thing comes into play because the Braves had scored twice in their half of the 8th. It used to be that they would have only counted completed innings meaning you'd revert to the game as it was at the end of the 7th which puts us right back into a tie situation.

So if the game had been stopped while the Mets were batting but before they tied it ... then what?
A - Do they suspend it as a tie and replay starting at the beginning of the 8th?
B - Or do they suspend it and pick up exactly where they left off?
C - and had the Braves led after 7 would they be declared the winner even if the game were called in mid-inning w/the Mets batting via the old revert to the last full inning logic?

I think B is the right answer but I'm not entirely sure.

Re: IGT>5/24<Braves @ Mets-Hefner's Gotta Be Due! Ike,We Nee

"When he came off after the sixth, he could have probably started the seventh inning, because he was feeling OK," Collins said. "But I was so excited that he pitched so well after he's been so down about not winning a game. I said, 'I'm not going to let this kid lose this game. I'm not going to do that.' He needs to move forward with a positive attitude that he pitched very, very well. Even though he did pitch well, had something happened the next inning, he goes home feeling bad about it. And I didn't want that to happen."


So it's not about winning, it's not losing.

And if it's about getting a win for the guy, isn't a useful component to getting that win using a pitcher who is pitching well as long as he is able to go?

If you see a long-term tangilble benefit to uplifting players by not putting them in a position to lose, please consider that it's a zero-sum game. So they take Hef out, and they lose, does he feel that much better, knowing the team lost but it's not on his record, and all his teammates know he wasn't permitted to help them any further for the protection to his delicate psyche. And now Lyon, or whoever gets the loss on his record is in need of psychological boost of his own.

I'd be mad at Terry, but this is too much the mainstream perspective for me to hang it on him alone. I imagine four out of five managers would agree with him.

May 25 2013 09:47 AM
Re: IGT>5/24<Braves @ Mets-Hefner's Gotta Be Due! Ike,We Nee

Ronnie indeed alluded to Davey doing that sort of thing, but as I recall, it generally wasn't when the pitcher in question was pitching very well (right up through his last inning of work) and his continued presence was a determining factor in maintaining a lead. Also, that was more of a raw rookie thing. By the second year, the training wheels were off the likes of Gooden, Darling and Fernandez. The Mets had games to win as much as they had pitchers to nurture. Somehow they managed to do both.

All of it is different from "not gonna let him lose," which is a weird priority and defeatist thinking. What's wrong with showing faith in Hefner for another inning? "He's our guy, we trust him in that spot" is confidence-building. "We knew he'd blow it eventually" would seem to be the opposite.

Hefner HAS pitched well. I mean, maybe Terry knows he's bummed or something, but I think this is more in his own head than Jeremy's.

I agree with the sentiment in principle, to get a guy that's been struggling to leave on a good note, but that doesn't apply here. Hefner doesn't have 0 wins because he's put up stinker after stinker, (though he hasn't pitched well in May) but because they haven't scored for him. He seemed to have it working yestrday, 7 Ks..

I'm referring to the MLB.TV image feed atm, which is a mish mash of Braves,Mets, & FOX.

If that third guy is a Braves boothman, this is interesting.

And Braves take the lead.

See, I told you Lyon's ego would be at stake.

OH! I thought we had him! Gah, close but no cigar.

Safety squeeze(or something) scores another.

Buck takes one for the team. Ouch. Ike should try and stand in front of a pitch if he can.

I am very impressed that MLB.TV did make it so I could view the end of this game.
But for tonights game, I'm all blocked out. This hasn't happened for a few years. They stopped blocking me due to location after I gave them my ZIP and said stop it. This is FOX showing Phils thats screwin me over tho, not MLB.TV. Pisses me off.

Good luck Mets!
