I hope someone got Alvarez safely to higher ground

Btw I don’t know if you follow the Mets Instagram (top 5 team Instagram imo!) but did you see this

hah no i'm not really on insta but i guess i need to be. lol that tiny mic. last game i went to they were giving away big sexy shirts but they were out by the time i got there.

They do a lot of tiny mic questions, it’s elite tbh. Three more & then I’ll knock it off.

Literally as I finished posting that I noticed Alvarez had updated his story and posted a link to a playlist of his

"Vogelbach’s limited mobility also meant he couldn’t be used in the field."

understatement of the year

I remember seeing his name trending on Twitter several times when he was in a lineup and people were absolutely raging /blaming Showalter & the thinking was that continuing to play him was Buck’s decision - I’m kind of surprised that it was FO but again I’m not that familiar with the Mets inner workings at all so that was probably obvious to you.

Showalter was told he had to play Vogelbach, the source said.

Part of the manager’s opposition to Vogelbach was philosophical: Showalter viewed the DH spot as one that should be used on a rotation, allowing position players a partial rest while remaining in the lineup.

But Showalter — who was fired last weekend, allowing new president of baseball operations David Stearns the opportunity to pick his own manager following the Mets’ 75-win season — also had an issue with Vogelbach’s limited skill set, according to a source.

Showalter viewed the DH spot as one that should be used on a rotation, allowing position players a partial rest while remaining in the lineup.

i'm surprised more managers don't do it this way. i mean sometimes it's done this way in a pinch but as a philosophy of what the DH should be for i like it

The source for this article is obviously Buck Showalter.

NEWS: Billy Eppler has resigned as Mets GM, the team announced.

Just for you

<3 senga and mauricio should be in the baby mets club, imo

should have traded pham to the AL :(

I think you can say that the Diamondbacks are succeeding in spite of Tommy Pham. Paul Sewald is a bigger influence on their success.

Senga posted a picture on his Instagram story of him and his agent having lunch with Lars Nootbaar.

i mean yeah i'm just saying that pham got the dbacks started yesterday with his homer

Nothing in his Mets tenure would make you believe that Sewald could be an effective reliever. He infamously went 118 major-league appearances without getting his first win. Pretty incredible turnaround over the past few years.

Yeah I read about his awful Mets career at some point last year! Mariners pitching lab can fix anyone (except Chris Flexen and Brennan Bernardinho).

David Stearns said the Mets will not fill their open GM role this winter. “We’ve got enough going on,” Stearns said.

I feel like that’s an important role to fill

Stearns is totally running the show, gm would be second banana so not that essential as it would be in orgs where gm has a lot of power. this is why ng left miami, her gm role was demoted to secondary status.

Brett Baty, Uh Oh (3D tracking)

Wow, I lived in Peru for more than three years, never encountered that. Well, I learned something today, after all.

why would they use a pic of scherzer for this article haha

on saturday we were buying a pretzel from the sweet chick stand on the 300 level and a guy was returning a fried chicken sandwich that was completely raw in the middle so i'd avoid that one (the pretzel was somehow bad too?)

Because eater is barely useful xp

i had a sweet chick sandwich last year, it was hard as a hockey puck from being under the heat lamp. thumbs down for sweet chick. xp

sort of a painful watch. i'm guessing the team that lost ruben tejada to a broken leg is trying to take the high road on sliding into second?

it'd be funny if someone ran toward the door of whoever teaches running there but then just kind of slowed down and turned off toward the water fountain as they neared the handle

mets *just* postponed tonight's game, despite it raining all day and there being a flood watch

bet they do the same thing tomorrow as well

Why stop there?
