even I didn't think Dombrowski's insane deadline defensive moves would hurt them *that* pointedly

the meltdowns over Raley for Gabrysh and what has happened in the intervening two months in both directions are why you shouldn’t particularly value YTD ERA as a forward looking projection for pitchers over stuff and other KPIs

I think people who talk about baseball nonstop on the internet are massively overindexing how much actual fans of teams who were out of it on Memorial Day are paying attention to Black Monday pressers that had like 2500 viewers

it seems very strange to me to create a ballot prioritizing old timey announcers (most of this ballot has been dead for decades) when there are many deserving living announcers, some elderly themselves

I am...surprised that Gage Wood never became a September option for the Phillies and think there's some show/don't tell going on there in that he didn't

a lot of good starting pitchers have started platooning their breaking balls lately, but Scherzer was basically the only SP doing this five years ago, and it's always fascinated me that he was *so* ahead of the curve on a lot of stuff that became orthodox www.baseballprospectus.com/news/article...

Is a pitch still an 80 if you can only use it against half the hitters you face?

one of the funniest Mets arcs of the last couple months was Bichette giving quotes to different writers once or twice a week trying to plant reasons other than "the contract I am on is insanely good for the player I currently am" (you know, the real reason) as to why he might opt in

yes but this is also only the second time since PPI picks became a thing that there was a significantly ideologically contested race with PPI implications

okay but if you want people to actually vote for your candidate it generally helps to be able to point to something other than “trust me bro”

A lot and using a weird cherry picked stat from a team irrelevant to the conversation that hasn’t had a high draft pick in 35 years is pretty weird?

the box to get out of on Benge vs. Stewart for ROTY remains that basically every case Benge has leads you back to voting for Wetherholt instead of either of them; Wetherholt has more WAR than Benge by all flavors and almost as much playing time even missing the last month

realistically given that they were in 5th but closer to 14th than 4th nothing *actually* mattered substantially from an outcome perspective ultimately, I guess. I would call this probably the median outcome from the deadline forward

This one is rough. We were online pals since before some of you were born. One of the friendliest, funniest baseball posters ever. We spent hundreds of hours breaking baseball simulation games together and made the single nuttiest trade I’ve ever made in any format. May his memory be a blessing.

I think it’s perfectly reasonable to bring an ideologically compatible former head of baseball operations into a high level advisory role. Good front office do this too. I’m not sure the premise is wrong, though

I don’t think there’s going to be an alignment problem and he’s well regarded in some circles. I was not nearly as impressed by the Falvey/Levine Twins as most of my peers personally but I am mostly neutral here

If you’re ever trying to do this you’re supposed to line up in a max protect punt formation and have the punter run to the corner of the end zone. Almost all of the stuff that can go wrong in that case is still a safety anyways

one of my more recent stress release/small joy things is to spend an hour or two going through cheap bargain bins at baseball card shows or shops solely to buy random cheap shit that looks cool or makes me feel nostalgic (sometimes both!)

I have no real opinion on most of the newest waves of Alonso discourse, but I will say that underachieving Mets players scolding everyone about the lack of fan support at the end of this season after last season is going to be taken incredibly poorly by everyone outside bubble of the previous repost

when mets fans boo pete alonso it's a good reminder the bluesky bubble (every mets fan here is an underemployed white collar worker with a masters in comparative poetry) is not real life (every mets fan there is the living embodiment of the worst mountain dew mouth roommate you ever had)

it would be really nice if players like Pete Alonso who have a deep fanbase connection were one team players for their entire careers. But I am not sure how to square that mechanically with the competing interests of labor and team quality

I feel like I'm undergoing some form of mass psychosis where everyone around me remembers that the 2019-25 Mets were a dynasty with a pristine clubhouse instead of the perpetual disappointment with constant insane drama that I actually experienced
