Re: Who's your new closer?
While it is statistically untrue that all innings are equally important .... Well, yes. Obviously. If possible, I wouldn't waste Garrett, clearly the Mets best reliever this season based on statistics, with a 6th inning stint if the Mets are already trailing by seven runs by then. But if I did, sti...

Re: Who's your new closer?
I voted for Garrett , but we need Garrett to get to the closer, so likely not to happen Yes. Also, if youse accept, for the purposes of this hypothetical thread, that Diaz is gonna suck all season long, kinda like in 2019, then there's gonna be a domino effect diminishment of the entire relief corp...

Re: National League East Vote
I know the Mets may well benefit from the third WC team, but I still think it was a stupid idea to add it. A .500 team should never make the playoffs. Ya think so? Inevitably, the teams that keep on just missing out on the playoffs will raise such a stink about the cutoff, that they'll expand the p...

Re: IGT 5/15 Mets at Phillies Lucchese Steaks 6:40
Five runz is a ztep in the right direction. Forward. So is this shitshow run of baseball where the Mets are getting their asses handed to them on a daily basis. Think I was kidding a few days ago when I wrote that they were about one two game losing streak from clinching a playoff spot? (Right dire...

Re: IGT 5/15 Mets at Phillies Lucchese Steaks 6:40
Stupid shitshow update:
The Mets are practically a playoff team.
The Mets are only one game out of the money. If the season ended tomorrow, the Mets could still make the playoffs.
This has been your stupid shitshow update.
Good night and have a pleasant tomorrow.

Re: A Close Look at Díaz
All statistics are man-made. Not really. A double, for example, is a double. To calculate how many doubles a player hits in a season, you simply have to count the doubles and add them up. The doubles total for any given player is indisputable, and 100% reliably accurate so long as the counting is a...

Re: A Close Look at Díaz
Diaz's 2022 season was one of the all-time best ever for a reliever. Of course it was an outlier. Expecting Diaz to repeat that season, even if he'd never had a season wipe-out injury last year would be like having expected Roger Maris to top 60 HR's several more times. I have no idea how effective ...

I also like the game a lot lot less than I used to. But I'm a baseball addict. Like most other fans, I suspect.

Do you want runs or style points? Reminds me of Ty Cobb bemoaning the way Babe Ruth was revolutionizing the game with his brute power.

This Mets team is absolutely dire to watch Especially with the many hideous uniforms they'll probably wear half the time going forward. Its one big clown show, not to mention that the crapfest Mets are probably like one two game win streak from being in the money. I'm blaming Alonso for the disgust...

Re: Donald Trump in Hot Water
If he denies it, it is a case of "he said-she said". But she has described so much detail of the encounter (the room, what he said, what he wore) that she may have turned it into a believable "He said-she saw" case. I doubt that he'll take the stand to deny it because if he does...

I'm not sure about that. Even if she was lying about the sexual encounter, he's still paying her to shut up, and it's the bookkeeping that's on trial. But that's not the prosecution's theory of the case. The sexual encounter was not illegal and is not an element of any of the crimes charged. But th...
