"Oh the pain"

Obviously re-signing Daniel Murphy was a must. That off-season I'd wanted them to sign Murphy, trade Dilson Herrera for Aroldis Chapman, when the...

Who knows? I never ruled anything out. His plate discipline is good. If he can translate his raw power to game power we might have...

Yeah, Fred only gives out bobbleheads to the first 15,000. That way everyone gets to the ballpark a few hours early so they can pass the time until...

Phelps is under team control for another year. Guys on expiring contracts bring back less value. That's one reason guys like Andrew Miller and...

The key metrics for Murphy were his batted ball numbers. He hit .281 in 2015... with a .278 BABIP! With reasonable luck he should have hit well...

I haven't read this whole thread. Truth is, I haven't followed the Knicks too closely since D'Antoni and Lin were forced out. I was appalled...

Thanks. The pitching wouldn't have been as lousy if he'd signed some good bullpen help. The starters were overextended because going to the...

I think this is the article the "de minimis" comment comes from: ...

I think the Maverick figures if he says something asinine but does it in Latin, everybody will be so intimidated by his education, nobody will call...

Spontaneous pheumothorax? What next? You can bet if MLB has its first case of spontaneous human combustion it'll happen in Flushing.

As I posted when they pushed Murphy out, ballplayers aren't widgets. People follow sports for the narrative and for personal stories to root for. ...

I said Kirk would hit 20 HR in a full season of AB. He averaged a HR every 25.8 AB. That was on target. He hit .209. My bad. I still would...

1) I wonder why you're not posting a link to the thread the Ike posts came from? It sure wasn't from when the Mets traded Ike. Could it have been...

Kirk is a 4 tool player. He can run, throw, field and hit for power. Sadly, he can't seem to hit. That's been his undoing. I did suggest he...

1) Niese had been a mid-rotation type that had slipped to a 4 or 5. He was a ground ball pitcher who had a shaky defense backing him up; he was a...

1) I was in favor of a Niese trade. The problem was trading him for Walker instead of re-signing Murphy meant flushing a valuable trade asset down...

It angered me when Turner was non-tendered. It enraged me when Murphy was pushed out the door. I posted Turner was one of the best players the...

It'd be easier to move on if Murphy didn't continue to get 4 hit, 5 RBI games against the Mets.

What about this? Nothing's being "explained" here. This is a justification. Just admit the move was a disaster. Turner, too. Or is...

Some people keep saying the move "made sense at the time" (as though that justifies a disastrous move); that it's not a front office's job to know a...

Murphy up to .341; 4-5 with 5 RBI today.

Are there still people on this board defending the Maverick for pushing Murphy out the door? Unbelievable.

As I type this, Daniel Murphy and Justin Turner are the two leading hitters in the National League. Murphy's up to .339. Turner doesn't have...
