I know *zero* about computers, but I would think that it would be possible for the robot to look at a batter and figure out where the bottoms of his knees are and where is halfway between his waist and his shoulders. Or can the robot only look straight forward? BTW, I am not sure that I agree that balls-and-strikes umpiring is better, but that may just be because the box makes it more evident when an umpire is wrong.

Maybe in the minority but……. Not trading for Soto. This team has a chemistry we have not seen in a many years. Besides that we finally have some bright future pieces to add. Hopefully we get Jake back after the all star back. Get me a bullpen arm that won’t mortgage the house. Oh and by the way……… Love this team!

I guess it looks like they backended it. If I’m Soto- I think I would turn it down too. In 5 years, he would be one of the most underpaid players in the game with this deal when others are getting maybe up to $50 mil per year and he would be in the 20’s.
mid I was Soto, I wouldn’t want to lock my entire career into a single contract that would be so outdated in just a few years. He is still super young. I would think to sign him, he would want 10/400 or maybe go 7-8 years and he would still be pretty young for another mega contract after.
Yeah, I don’t understand how the top and bottom of the electronic zone is set for each batter.
I pretty much agree. We can go get a guy like Bell and a relief pitcher and not give up the entire farm system and maybe a huge part of our current team. I heard people asking if we would need to include Pete in the trade.Maybe in the minority but……. Not trading for Soto. This team has a chemistry we have not seen in a many years.

I just hope the Nats would prefer to keep him out of the division and hopefully the AL. Lol
Soto is one of the few players that I would give up a good amount of prospects for. Cohen is willing to spend money and Soto immediately puts the Mets as the favorite to win it all…and that’s always the goal..even over building the farm. Don’t underestimate how good he can be in the middle of a lineup like the Mets vs. where he is now, where teams pitch around him. The other thing to consider is that Soto is a proven MLB superstar. None of what the Mets will give up is that. You never know how prospects will pan out in the majors. I say go for it.
What if they want Alveraz, Baty, Alonso and cash? Or Alveraz, Vientos, Baty, McNeil and cash or draft pick?
Exactly, heaven forbid we lose players to injuries like Dom yesterday. Instead of calling up Baty or Vientos who are we bringing up? Blankenhorn? Sorry saw that act already
Can't trade MLB draft picks, except for compensatory picks. They could ask for whomever the Mets select tonight though.
I doubt anything happens in the next two weeks. These non-rental blockbuster trades generally happen in the off-season. Nats still have two years of team control after this one. They can take their time.
They will get much more value in the next two weeks than the offseason. If I’m the Nats- I am going to get a premium because teams want to make that push for this year. The new team still gets control of the contract plus a Superstar that may allow them to make a run this year.
If I’m the Met’s I just don’t do it. We already have a team that could make a run when we pick up the best pitcher in baseball in a week or so. Just get a bat for DH that won’t cost more than one prospect and a reliever that someone wants to unload their contract. Keeping in mind- if Jake stays healthy, one of our starters goes to the pen and then we hopefully get May and Megill back.
I would be very happy and damn confident.
Well yesterday was twice as nice (it would have been thrice if not for the butt Nats).
Wow- over our last 14 games- our starter's era is under 2.00 and we are averaging 11k per 9. And this is without deGrom.
And of course, Diaz has been unhittable. We get that one bat and a good RP- teams would have to really worry about us in playoff series.

As I also enjoy our standing in first place...you would think that it seems that the Yankees have run away from MLB as the best team out there. But if we were all in a single conference- I believe we would only be 5.5 games out of the best record and 3 games out of the 2nd best record.
Seems like. I googled him. He has his resume on LinkedIn. It shows his SNY employment as ending in 4/2022. He lists his current employment with MLB network, although I don't know how regular that is.

You may want to edit out that last part. Hope he finds success.

I'll concern myself with the Yankees when we play them in some games next week. And only then. Other than that my mission is staying in front of the Braves and trying to be top record in the NL. If we should happen to see the Yankees again in the fall then so be it. I'd have them on my mind then.
I edited my reply! This gets complicated. I always tell my kids about how hard it is to erase social media!!!
love us running on the bases again. We seemed to have been missing the aggressive baserunning during our slump in June.
I typed nAAAts before but that is insulting the talent of triple A players
3 runs only one out in 4th
4-3 Nats
Bullpen game for Nats so the pitching is going to get worse as game goes along

Lindor was picked off and got into a rundown. He made a good move (borderline illegal) to avoid the tag. Marte alertly broke immediately and scored without a throw.
Alonso and McNeil are not prospects and including Alonso is defeating the purpose.
I know they aren’t prospects but heard some talk that Nats may look for someone like Alonso or McNeil with prospects
Which, as you said, would defeat the purpose
Hard to believe they have that record with so many starters hitting in the .220-230's. More and more that closer is showing his warts. Hardly a team currently built for a short series in the heat of the playoffs. To me, the Mets with all their injuries and warts are a far better playoff series team than the Varsity🥱, just saying. They have a proven track record of $hitting the bed every October for a decade and a half. PS. Feel free to take this opportunity to insert it's been since 1986 the Mets won one and of course those 27 rings most haven't been around for more than 8 , maybe 9. lmfao. As a Mets fan, I can only count from 1962-present and the Yankees have a commanding lead of 8-2 in World Championships. Four of those coming from the steroid era, just saying. One last thing, the last 3 World Series Champs, are from The National League and 2 of those from The NL Least as they like to call it. Have a nice day and stay safe.

I figured they would have every player measured in their stance and download that data and the stike zone would be set based on that
Umps haven’t been making that “out of base line” call for a while now. Might as well use that to your advantage.
Lindor's left pinky was still in the baseline. Not sure about the rest of him.
I am willing to bet that he was given that leeway because the fielder didn't attempt a real tag- ball was already in his bare hand when Lidor went around him.
Almost could be called as fielders' interference if he isn't trying to tag him...
Ron Darling accurately describes this series so far: "Apart from the first game, there's been some opportunities for things to happen, but nothing's really happened."
Why in the world would the third base coach send Lindor with the left fielder already in throwing motion?????
