Bummed to wake up and find that the only bullpen help we traded for was John Axford, but poo poo, somehow turning Logan Forsythe and two nothing prospects into Brian Dozier owns pretty hard.

Rumors are flying on twitter, everything from 'he's announcing that he won't be back this season' to 'he's retiring'. :ohdear:

I can't imagine he's announcing retirement from Oakland of all places but I am betting he's done for the season.

Pretty much

But I mean, yeah, there is some heavy offensive potential. Some major question marks though as well: Turner's wrist health, Bellinger just not being the same player, probable regression from Muncy/Kemp, the fuckin bullpen, etc.

Number 1 Bullshit
I'm pretty happy with the return on Archer. I hope he does well with the Pirates because holy poo poo people would find any excuse to hate him here.

The lack of rotation is hilarious although Chirinos has been used as a starter recently. The season's a wash and this team is somehow .500 despite going completely off the rails with how the pitching situation has worked. Might as well go full crazy till Snell gets back.

That's why he got traded for nothing

His ptbnl is correlated to time actually on the field if I heard correctly. Hope you don't have anyone in Williamsport you partially like.

Both of Russell's hands were off the bag when he got tagged. Looks out to me.

As usual, the WORST REVIEW EVER, OMG THE UMPS ARE loving US, turns out to be a borderline call at worst. This one doesn't even look that borderline .

yea, i have to agree. he beat the throw, sure, but he didn't maintain touch with the bag. out is out is out.

if you want to argue against the rule, ok. if you want to make it so that you just have to beat the throw by touching the bag, ok, there's a case for that. but per the rules in 2018, he's out.

can we at least agree on that before this all turns into another insufferable cubs gabfest?

Julio Cruz posted:

Mets can certainly compete next year if everyone stays healthy and hits their upside, but with the medical staff and the general cursed-ness of the franchise that'll never actually happen.

I dunno, the rotation pieces are there, and there is some young hitting. Hopefully Conforto can bounce back, I'm not as sold on Rosario though. They do need more bats in the lineup, though. Bruce and Frazier are pretty cooked, and Cespedes is made of glass. Plus, that bullpen, yikes. They can't go into next season with guys like Rhame, Tim Peterson and Anthony Swarzak.

I'm pretty sure there's gonna be a new GM coming in, as I really don't think any of Minaya/Ricco/Ricciardi are going to turn this team around with some good and shrewd moves in the offseason. The new GM should definitely bring in his own staff too. Callaway is way over his head and Roessler has no business being a hitting coach. Whoever they bring in, though, is going to be seriously handcuffed by the Wilpons.

So Tulo says he is optomistic about returning this year...

I hope somehow he is half decent in 2019, and we can flip him to a contender that already lost their SS for the season for a prospect if we take half his salary. At this point I'd rather have anyone else playing short.
