@TJStats Burns with a 9 point lead over a guy like Leiter is rather ridiculous.

@Njbeacbum45 @Super70sSports For a small sliver of time perhaps, but can't bounce back and forth between the nerds loving a fake stat like WAR, then also accuse them of ignoring it just to shake fists
English
Sometimes I think we just value the wrong things as sports fans. Willie McGee hit 79 homers in 18 years and he was more fun and exciting than a clown car full of 30-homer steroid freaks.

@shegone03 @uTeeBaseball @TheJudge44 @MLB These careers are going to ultimately look so different they'll be apples to oranges... But the fact Judge is only ten points off Rose's average while supplying all that power makes it easy to pick him every day of the week over Pete in a fictional all-time draft.
English
@uTeeBaseball aka #tragicron declares that @TheJudge44 has already surpassed the career of the All Time Hit Leader Pete Rose who had (10) 200 hit seasons and hit (.300) 15 times during his 24 year @MLB career.
What do you think #shegone nation?

@WexlerRules And the boss was just sayin I'm not productive enough!!!

I went from only vaguely hearing about this to being all-in on trying this tomorrow after 2 videos. Social media for ya 🤣
Rep. Mike Collins@RepMikeCollins
Let a Georgia boy teach you how it’s done.

@ReggieHoggedUp No dog in this fight, but been to all three and you are correct
English
I’m sorry baseball purists but PNC Park absolutely mogs Fenway or Wrigley
English
@AnthonyDiComo No science to back it, but I feel like these teams are insane with how conservative they are about challenges. Starters are already up against it with the tightest zone in history, but now you further screw them by not aggressively help them cut down pitch count, traffic, etc?
English
Worth noting that neither Francisco Alvarez nor Nolan McLean challenged this full-count pitch to Patrick Bailey, resulting in a walk rather than a strikeout. No guarantees it would have been overturned via ABS, but it if it had, it would have changed this inning.
English
@WexlerRules Gonna be replicating Jett for Freddy with Ewing for Sandy.... Amongst others... I feel
English
Opponent aside... is he back? IF so.... bidding war incoming
English
@TBTimes_Rays How long does it take for the ABS to get into gear and jog down to the field?
English
@WexlerRules @Mets How do I inquire about this job of signing random top-20 HS kids from a decade ago??? Fits in perfectly with my "never actively partake in a music artist until they've been around for 20 years" mindset.
English
English
@Super70sSports He's got that glazed over Angel Hernandez look.... He's ready to hang em up, but wants to go scorched earth on the kids "ruining" the game. This'll show em!!!
English
If you were as half as bad at your job as C.B. Bucknor is at his, you’d be unemployed. Stevie Wonder could literally have made the correct call here just from hearing his fucking foot hit the bag.
English
@ernestdove It became a moot point quickly, but this is why I was in favor of going big on Vladdy and why Yankee fans were missing critical logic in pretending to prefer the wide net approach after missing on Soto.
English
I said early on his contract would look solid in a few years. His AAV is now already down to like 14th in baseball. Assume would drop lower & lower depending on CBA to come so who knows.
SNY Mets@SNY_Mets
Five years ago today, the Mets signed Francisco Lindor to a 10-year, $341M contract extension In those five-plus years in Queens, he has hit 141 home runs and led all shortstops in fWAR (30.0)
English
When Johnny Cash and Boss Hogg are on Columbo leave me the hell alone because I ain’t got time for nothing else.
English
@ernestdove Yea, that's why I'm not crazy about it haha. Obviously gonna happen first couple times through rotation, but after that I despise seeing a guy leave after 5 when not because of pitch count. Shredding the Reeds and Kranicks to avoid the "third time through order" hurts more later
English
@BishBaseball Always happens though in extra innings PLUS this Mets strategy of having swingman arms like Meyers, Brazoban & Manaea means less one inning arms available in these situations.
English
Certainly willing to give the veteran Luis Garcia more chances HOWEVER, at some point i would consider a quietly solid Austin Warren in his place as needed this year for Mets.
English
@BNightengale Tired: WBC blah blah blah
Wired: you just listed 3 pitchers who are game-managers (yes, including Skenes) that are finding out real quick that the tightest K-zone in history is going to give hitters incredible audacity to just ignore the nibbling.
English
Cubs starter Matthew Boyd, who made 1 start in the WBC: 3.2 innings, 6 hits, 6 runs
Bob Nightengale@BNightengale
Tough start for the Team USA pitchers in the WBC: Logan Webb: 5 innings, 9 hits, 7 runs, 6 earned. Paul Skenes: .2 innings, 4 hits, 5 earned runs (37 pitches).
English
@Iletmykpop @ChrisIllitch Crews was caught in this generations college baseball revolution. We see "generational" guys every 3 years... But he performed! Prob is you looked up mid-season and so was everyone else. It became obvious these guys were now physical as fuck, but too late to quit the rhetoric
English
@ChrisIllitch In hindsight he’s not generational we were sold a lie from big scout
English
Crews hitting chops have degraded immensely since his pre draft days and at his age 24 season seeing him in AAA to start the season is a last ditch effort to fix the bad habits in his hitting that developed over the last couple years. It’s almost uncanny how bad his hit tool is.
English
@BaseUnstitched @SleeperMets Totally, I didn't get any "he sucks" vibes from your post.
Mets have collected their share of GB guys over the last few regimes. But scouting and development continue to see them increase their athleticism and contact. Not surprisingly, offering more room for error as they grow
English
I want to be clear, I am not an advocate for forced pull-air
I love guys who hit the ball hard the other way and I think Benge does it with the best of them, my thought was more around the fact that the likelihood for production at this rate of GBs isn't high
Across the board though, I am not worried. He'll succeed at the next level
English
Carson Benge Spring Training so far:
36 PA
.406/.472/.500
.440 wOBA
164 wRC+
13.9/8.3% K/BB%
He is doing it with ALOT of ground balls. Only two balls hit over 20º LA
With an average EV of 90.5 mph, a .481 BABIP, & an 18.00 GB/FB, do his underlying ST numbers worry you?
