The ongoing drama around the team's move to Wilmington ends with a new owner sweeping in to keep the team right where it is.

Bingo to celebrate their retaining the Mets affiliation by changing their name.

Benjamin Grimm Mar 11 2016 08:32 PM Re: Bingo 2016 |
I vote to name them the "Bees".

Bingo knuckleballer Mickey Jannis, who also made a surprise AZ Fall League appearance, took a no-hitter into the 7th last night.

I'm excited to see what our Jannis-headed knuckleballer can bring, but Bill James has written that it takes a bad (and desperate) team to give a chance to a knuckleballer, so he may need to move on to break through. But good for the Mets for seeing it through thus far.

...meanwhile in Akron, I just saw Akeel F. Morris walk in the tying run with 2 out in the ninth.
|
Edgy MD Apr 21 2016 01:19 AM Re: Bingo 2016 |
Akeel's hard to touch, but his control is more of an issue a the higher levels.

Chad Ochoseis Apr 21 2016 02:54 AM Re: Bingo 2016 |
The B-Mets are through being cool. Rubber Ducks 3, B-Mets 2 in 10 is the final, thanks primarily to rehabbing ringer Michael Brantley, who went 3-4. But Gsellman didn't gsuck; 1 run, 3 hits, 7 Ks in 6 1/3, and he handed a baseball to a little kid in a Batman t-shirt hanging just behind the dugout. And there was some nice infield defense going on all game.

Big news out of Bingtown is that an injury to Jeff McNeil has opened the way for Phil Evans to join the club.

Wait, so they wound up keeping the name 'Mets'?

Not worth a full update, but Josh Edgin has jumped from St. Lucie to Las Vegas on his rehab road back from Tommy John surgery.

It's been a tough week for the Binghamton Bumblebees. Almost nobody is hitting and the pitching staff has a bad case of the bases-on-balls.

Frayed Knot May 18 2016 12:02 PM Re: Bingo 2016 |
So, if I have this straight, the area around Binghamton, NY has a rich history in carousel rides.
|
Edgy MD May 18 2016 12:29 PM Re: Bingo 2016 |
Well, it has a history. They have, like, eight carousels. But only one or two of them can truly be called classics. And even those, while having the imprint of the master carver shops*, aren't masterpieces. If they truly want to honor carousel horses, a better name for the team would be the Painted Ponies.

What, no Binghamton Wooden Chain-smoking OTB Degenerates? Binghamton Guys Who Check The Ground For Discarded Winning Carousel Tickets?
|
Benjamin Grimm May 18 2016 01:55 PM Re: Bingo 2016 |
Why all these veiled references to carousels? They should just call themselves the Binghamton Merry-Go-Rounds.

Great minds, bud.
Also, it doubles as a horsey thing, potentially, right? (Also with you on Bullheads.)

Yeah, sorry. This statement was included in the ESPN "News Feed" on their main page and didn't link to an article. [fimg=500]http://i.imgur.com/cTZrX1n.png[/fimg] If you check out the Mets clubhouse page on ESPN and scroll down, you can see the blurb from Rubin again on that feed.

Frayed Knot May 18 2016 03:30 PM Re: Bingo 2016 |
I think they should honor Bingo-area native Johnny Hart and name themselves the BC's, or the Wizards of Id
|
Edgy MD May 18 2016 03:51 PM Re: Bingo 2016 |
I think those are both more or less fine ideas. The Binghamton Cavemen. The Binghamton Cartoonists.

Greetings from Akron, Ohio, where every game is a rubber game. Stud Muffins are up 2-1 after 4, and my boy Gsellman looks like a man among ducks, though he's having some trouble controlling his curve.
|
Chad Ochoseis May 22 2016 01:03 AM Re: Bingo 2016 |
Dux 5, Mets 2. Flerg. Gsellman gsot hit hard in the 5th. I did get to see Maikis De La Cruz make a badass diving catch. Now to figure out how to get out of Akron.
|
Edgy MD May 22 2016 04:07 AM Re: Bingo 2016 |
Look for a place that's open. If you find one, you're out of Akron.

Newly signed minor league free agent Josh Zeid made his 2016 debut throwing 6 2/3 scoreless for the B-Mets as the Krabapled the Hartford Yard Goats 8-1. Red-hot Phil Evans went 2-4 with a double and a homer, upping his average to .323.

Bingo is still trying to find some traction, but have no real standout performers. This is in part a result of dealing from the middle of the system (of the deck, if you will) last summer, but also the reality of having two #1 draft choices who aren't running with the ball. Phil Evans is getting his hits, but refusing to walk almost philosophically. Dominic Smith is well rounded, but underwhelming.

Its nice to know that our coaching staffs throughout the organization are doing one thing right. They are teaching the youngsters to wear a baseball cap they way it should be worn, curved brim. It appears that Luis Mateo is the only slow learner.

I'm thinking the caps are "structured" (or pre-bent) in the minors. (At least on picture day.)

Normally, I'd say this looks like the Smitty and Rosario show. (Both, not so coincidentally are currently on leave as they head to San Diego to be make-believe big-leaguers.)

Yeah, there's such a dispiriting sameness to all of these logos. Yeah, sure, one is a horse and another is a clam and there are inchworms and onions and shoelaces and paperclips or whatever, but none of them make me at all tempted to spend a nickel on merchandise. The last minor league logo I remember liking was this one, because I liked the way it incorporated the major league club's logo. But I didn't spend a nickel on that one either, although at least I thought about it!

Your elevation of "Gobblers" to the first division among the options was rather charitable, to my thinking.
