We'll be doing one each month for the rest of the season. It'll be easier to consolidate info this way and for everyone to be able to follow along any news and information centering around the big club's various affiliates.

Met trivia question:  
BocaGene : 6/1/2024 3:36 pm : link
What did the term "strawberry patch" refer to?
..  
Named Later : 6/1/2024 3:37 pm : link
While we wait for Darryl's Big Day, here's an segment he did on MLB Network just talkin' hittin' with Mark DeRosa.

And he makes it sound so easy....

Straw still looks like he could bust a few fences - ( New Window )

would be nice to get at least 3 wins out of this series heading into another winnable one vs nats. sweep would be even better.

also hard to believe steve phillips thought olerud was replaceable with todd freaking zeile.

You're right Eric, that would be a really smart move by Cohen.

realistically i dont expect any productive discussions until the ASB. I think stearns wanted to see if Alonso is a player he wants to keep around forgetting price, and part of that is how he and the team perform first half.

if stearns concludes he is, i assume he will take a run at offering him a reasonable extension to gauge where things stand before the deadline.

unless they totally low ball it, it would be pretty ballsy for pete to pass on any extension of 3+ years.
Mistake with the Gameday Pitch-by-Pitch link above.

-Shoulda won the MVP and World Series in '88.
-Kirk Gibson only won the NL MVP in '88 because Kevin McReynolds and Straw split votes with the Mets.

110 mph 440 feet for vientos

let the man cook. another solid month at 3b and it may be time to let baty get some reps in the OF again.

Vientos should get more time at DH too once JDM is dealt off in another month and half.

+1

I'm guessing Baty's gonna be at Syracuse until the trade deadline (July 30th).
Alvarez is going to play his first back to back game today  
Eric on Li : 6/2/2024 11:05 am : link
and mendoza says there's a chance he joins the team before the London trip.

would be nice to go 3-1 in the 4 games before that.
question for optimus  
Eric on Li : 6/2/2024 11:06 am : link
at one point we talked about just doing 1 thread per series, since they've played like crap and game threads are less active do you want to try that just so you have less work to do?

McReynolds had a really good year, but anyone voting for him over Straw was a fool.
diaz on field throwing again is a very good sign  
Eric on Li : 6/2/2024 12:00 pm : link
no idea when he will be back but some of the online orthos (PFD) were expecting that to end up a 60 day IL type thing.

if they can go into the 2 games vs PHI 27-35 and split in London to be 28-36, they come back to a very favorable schedule rest of first half.

especially from July 1-14:

4 @ WAS
4 @ PIT
3 v WAS
3 v COL

if they can be anywhere near .500 before those 14 games, they can get over .500 at the ASB.

only teams on their schedule before ASB over .500 right now other than PHI are:

2x NYY
3x SDP

Alvarez coming back, Vientos giving them a real bat at 3b, Lindor/Alonso/JDM all getting on track. if ever this team had a run in them, the next 6 weeks should be it.

Hey Eric. I just saw this and am about to post today's thread. I asked before and most of the crew who responded wanted a single thread for each game. Let's vote on today's thread. I'll post it in 2 minutes.
