IGT 6/30 - Mets at Braves
Edgy MD Jun 29 2021 09:15 PM |
Is scratching out one-run wins late after getting shut down through the first 2/3 of a game a sustainable model? The Mets aim to explore that question in depth on Wednesday as they enter game two vs. the Braves. You may feel somewhat fried under this blazing June sun, but the guy the Mets are facing is MAX Fried.

It may be good for the win-loss record, but this crap is very dangerous to my heart and blood pressure. I'm a wreck after games. Hey guys. How about a few blowout wins? I'll thank you. Later

Well, the notion is that Peraza has effectively been Guillorme's platooney partner, and so should be expected to be in under any circumstances. This would suggest that Guillorme playing against the lefty is at the expense of McNeddy.

Both are better defensive options on the left side of the field (as compared to McNeil & Dom) with the LH Peterson on the hill. Probably a factor.

I would. It's freakin' baseball and barring a horrible injury, Alonso's gonna be as "rich as Rockefeller" in a coupl'a years while he's still in his freakin' 20s. Not that Alonso's hurtin' for dough right now.

Positive notes: We tagged out one of the two Atlanta runners who essentially gave themselves up between 3rd & home

Said nothing about money. If you're ok with him yucking it up the enemy, then we now know one more thing about your dollars and sense of things.

I know you didn't say anything about money. So what? What does that have to do with anything? I'm the one who introduced money into the discussion. My post wasn't about money either, even though I did mention money. What I'm saying is that the guy's on top of the world. Your post resonated with me because I saw the movie Moneyball last week on cable TV. I'd seen it before. Maybe twice. And last week, the scene that stuck out for me was when an A's player was acting ubpeat and happy in the locker room following an A's loss. The Billy Beane character (Brad Pitt) walks by and has a fit when he sees this. He throws stuff all over the place and browbeats the player. "Is losing fun? No? Then why are you having fun?" And I couldn't relate to Beane. Maybe it's my age. But Beane's reaction made no sense to me. I don't see how one thing neessarily has anything to do with the other. I don't see how listening and grooving to your music means you don't care about the loss. At that moment, Beane's reaction felt idiotic to me. Your post triggered that reaction. I used money as a substitute for "two superstars on top of the world". I'm sure they'll both lose this night's sleep over the fact that you're not happy with their socializing. Call Bob Gibson. Now you know one more thing about me, whatever that is. Write it down in the psycho book that you keep that's all about me.

The other night, Conforto (I believe) talked about what a good sign it was that the Mets never get down, that even when they lose, they still have the music on in the clubhouse. Made me wonder if that's a specific reaction to the Billy Beane/Jeremy Giambi scene.

I've been thinking about this when I've watched Mets-Braves games this season. When Albies got his RBI single back in the first, he and Pete were yucking it up at 1B. A couple of weeks ago when Nido got hit, Freeman went down the line to check on him, and when Nido took his base, it looked to me like Freeman said something like "tough break, I've been there". The rivalry seems friendlier than it was in the days of Larry Jones. Nothing wrong with that. It's not like the Mets were going to start scoring runs if Szapucki threw a fast one at Freeman's head. On the other hand, the Mets and Phillies always seem to be on the verge of beating the crap out of each other as soon as they take the field.

Edgy: it looks like the only 3 pitchers that could be called up (from the 40-man) are Y. Diaz; Stock; and, Tropeano. Is that right? I assume that Tarpley will be shifted to the 60-day because of his injury so that opens another spot. |

Transactions, 6/30/2021
I like how their heads get bigger as they go from left to right. With rehab assignments the only transactions today, there were, for once, no changes to the big league squad. It is curious to see Joneshwy Fargas "assigned" to a team whose season hasn't begun yet, and in fact a team in a league that hasn't yet debuted. Look for that to change tomorrow, as more paperwork looms for the Mets than the prosecution of the Trump organization. Activations, pitcher shuffling, banishments, 60-Day assignments ... it'll all be there.

They are playing. They are not considered an official minor league, so games aren't shown on MiLB.com. But Amazing Avenue has started giving occasional game reports this week of the St. Lucie team in that league in their prospect reports. Later
