Not everyone. Let them pitch until they get into trouble and see if they can work out of it before you go to the bullpen.

Re: What's in Store for Twenty-Four?: José Butto

By the end of the year, his nickname will be Yo-Yo. He'll be up and down to AAA, filling in, pitching well, and not sticking around. 4-5 3.84 I can just see the news reports in about 30 years: "Jose Butto has been elected to the Hall of Fame". And in an associated story, "the Mets ha...

Re: Rock Reconsidered

The factoid that sticks in my mind about Michael was at one time, he was the only singer to have won a Grammy as a solo artist, part of a duet and as part of a larger group. I'm not sure if this has been done since.
(disclaimer), I may have him mixed up with another singer.

Re: 5/14/24 - The 'Why is this a Day Game?' IGT

That's not a sustainable setup. I swore Jose Iglesias woulda made the team out of spring training; he's what good teams have -- a competent defensive middle infielder who used to be a starter, won't kill you when a guy needs a day off or has a short term injury. BRING UP IGLESIAS ALREADY,STEARNS!!!...

Re: 5/14/24 - The 'Why is this a Day Game?' IGT

I can't watch, so I'm following the box score on Yahoo Sports.
Wendle reached on catcher's interference, but it wasn't counted as an at bat.(like a walk)
I never knew that.
Isn't catcher's interference an error?

Well, at least someone can get a leadoff runner home.
SPOILER ALERT
It wasn't the Mets.

Both runs were walked in.

Re: A Close Look at Díaz

I'm not sure if it is still physical or mental.
I don't think he is confident about his leg yet and not fully using it like he used to.
When he feels it it is fully healthy, his leg drive, and velocity, will return.

But nobody can predict when (if) this may happen.

Down 0-1.

I thought they'd be so frustrated after yesterday's pathetic showing, they'd come out like they were on fire and pile up the runs.
I'm not optimistic.

Nice collection.
Have you ever calculated what percentage of the players who signed minor league cards never made it to the majors? Or are they all major league cards?
