Someday Ken Burns will do a documentary on tiny baseball players and how they were vindicated in 2018

Except in New York, where old perceptions remain to this very day.

Jose Reyes is trending in New York. It's because he's very bad at baseball. His OPS+ is 3.

When asked if he was going to continue to play Reyes, Mickey Callaway took a roundabout shot at the front office: "I think we have to play the players we have."

The Mets are a garbage barge again. I missed that.

Has anyone had an OPS+ that low over a season as a regular starter since Nick Punto?

Someone who played in the 1800s had an OPS+ of -3. Since 1900, only three players have had an OPS+ less than 20. The lowest was 1.

I don't know their names or the seasons because I let my BBR play index subscription expire for the sake of my own sanity.

at the time it looked so foolish compared to the Dodgers acquisition of Darvish, and I mocked many a low info Dodgers fan who wanted a Proven Ace(tm) in Verlander :negative:

Tonight was the first ballgame I’ve gone to all year, incredible weather at Citi.

Sucked to see the blown save but :shrug: it was a really pleasant night. DeGrom looked excellent when he hit his stride, Nimmo’s homer was absolutely smoked.

Every single year the Ivy League takes a break from fucking up the world through its various alumni to fuck up everyone's bracket instead.
CB and Angel are atrocious but the patron saint of bad umpiring, in so many different valences, will remain Eric Gregg.


I think if there’s a Dollop about you that’s probably true just in general terms, however fuzzy the specifics get.

I was also at this game. This was the first time I ever saw deGrom pitch in person and it was absolutely magical.

Apparently our lord & savior deGrom has a 1.54 ERA and a 5-5 record. The Mets do not deserve him.
