They are still in 1st place.
Or an earthquake.
(Not that we are wishing it on California.)
Fortunately, every one else in the NL East also lost except the Nationals who are in last place.
Which is why the MLB experiment in he minors may be to get leverage in the negotiations.
I went there in the early 2000s on a business trip. It is a nice ball park when the weather is decent.
The RBI has weaknesses as a stat but should not be ignored. It shows that a hitter is getting it done, adding value to his team, and cashing in on opportunities. RISP only shows that a hitter is not...
Your grandparents maybe were alive when Grover Cleveland Alexander walked Babe Ruth in the 9th inning of Game 7, and Ruth was caught stealing to end the 1926 World Series.
It is the 15th anniversary but the 16th year. Count it off from 2006.
I was actually at the first SNY game telecast in 2006. It was the only spring training game that I have ever seen in person. I...
Meet The Mets (0f, Course!)
The Union turned that deal down for 2021.
Kiner-Nelson-Murphy were a broadcasting team (TV & Radio) for 17 years (1962-1978). Cohen-Keith-Ron are in year 16. So they should beat the record.
The other Mets broadcasting team that was really...
It is shades of Nolan Ryan. He had plenty of talent but was never going to make it big as a Met. He had to go elsewhere to make it big and probably will. I wish him well.
De Grom with 9 K’s in a row & 14 in six innings at Colorado. Including Diaz striking out the side to end it, the Rockies struck out 17 times in a 7-inning game!
Weather.com says it is 44 degrees in Denver which is 9 degrees better than 7pm last night,
I hate the rule about starting an extra inning with the guy who made the previous last out put on 2nd base. It is artificial and, among other things, rewards a player who made an out.
I do not see...
The experiment in the minors (Atlantic League?) is interesting: the DH only is used to bat for starting pitchers. Relief pitchers must bat or be pinch hit for.
It keeps the strategy in the game...
It really would make sense for Colorado and Minnesota to host divisional opponents in April. It would make rescheduling easier.
Thank goodness de Grom does not have to pitch in the snow flurries...
Unfortunately, Jason Bay came to the Mets after his first 373 games. :-(
It also means 4 fewer innings for the bullpen which is a good thing in Colorado.
Good news: Friday night’s game is postponed. Doubleheader on Saturday at 3pm local time. Instead of game time temp of 34-36 w/ snow flurries, de Grom pitches at 43-45 and partly cloudy.
NJ has fully vaccinated about a third of adults now, and has a goal of about doubling that to 70% by 6/30.
And that was a day game. Not one of Joe Torre’s better moments.
For what it is worth, the Braves go to Wrigley this weekend before the Mets arrive. But they have day games on Friday and Saturday...
And that was a day game. Not one of Joe Torre’s better moments.
Even more stupid is that all three games in Wrigley in April next week are at night. It used to be that a city ordinance limited the night games at Wrigley but apparently no more. So de Grom will...
I liked what they did in 1985 when (except for opening series) most games were played in warmer sites the first couple weeks of the season.
