    OT: Official 2024 NY Mets Season Thread

    Christian Scott had himself a game last night. Gave up a walk and a blast in the first, then ran off 18 in a row. His numbers jump off the page: 0.73 WHIP, .151 BAA, 14.8 K/9. The only blemish is the home run ball - he's given up 6 in 20 innings. (He's only given up 11 hits, but 6 have been...

    OT: 2024 NY Jets Off Season Thread

    What a difference from when the Jets traded Darnold. They got a 2, a 4, and a 6.

    OT: John Sterling, NYY Play by Play retires

    Some of us remember his sports talk show on WMCA. His shtick was to insult those callers who didn't meet his minimum intellectual requirements. He did early NJ Nets and NY Islanders, both with great enthusiasm. (GOAL!!! Islander goal! Islander goal!) Then he lost all of the above gigs and his...

    OT: Official 2024 NY Mets Season Thread

    I recall seeing that as being Alvarez' own projection, so who knows. Plus there is the question of what that even means. 6-8 weeks until MLB activation? Or 6-8 weeks until resumption of baseball activities, in which case you can add on a couple more weeks.

    OT: The Rarest Play in Baseball

    This is a play that has never occurred in a major league game, but allegedly did occur in a minor league spring training game in 1986. It is a triple play in which no fielder touches the ball. Here's how it happened, according to one of the players in that game: First and second, no outs. Hit...

    OT: Official 2024 NY Mets Season Thread

    Fun fact du jour: Remember Danny Mendick, who hit .185 with 1 HR in 65 AB's for the Mets last year? THAT Danny Mendick? Well, that Met castoff has just homered in 5 consecutive games - all of them against the Mets! Granted, he hit them for the AAA Charlotte Knights, and the team they were...

    OT: Official 2024 NY Mets Season Thread

    Nido, He won't cost anything. I expect the Mets will ride with what they have for awhile. EDIT: 37 Year old Martin Maldonado is currently the White Sox primary catcher. I expect he's available. However, he's only hitting .194 - and that's not his BA, it's his OPS!

    Mendoza did not give a timeline for Alvarez' return, but expressed confidence that the injury would not be season ending.

    OT: Official 2024 NY Mets Season Thread

    To your question, Mets have a few quality catching prospects in the system, most notably Parada, but no one who is close to being ready. They also have a couple of stopgap veterans, but no one who would be an upgrade over Nido.

    The setup guy Diaz was a bit shaky, but once he got it to the closer with the lead, we knew it was over.

    OT: Official 2024 NY Mets Season Thread

    ICYMI, Verlander made his debut yesterday after having missed his first three starts. Went six innings strong. Another 134, and the Mets will be on the hook for $17.5M if he exercises his option. Maybe he will miss another three starts somewhere along the way.

    On his arrival, Cohen set the expectation bar high. He may have fallen short of fan expectations this off-season. But it was hardly "cheap" as some suggest. Here are the cost of his 2024 acquisitions, stated in terms of luxury tax impact. Manaea - $14M Severino - $13M Bader - $10.5M Martinez -...
