RichieNextel305 Posted November 30, 2021 Share Posted November 30, 2021 Looks like Javy Baez is headed to Detroit on a 6-year deal, according to various reports on Twitter. Really would have liked resigning him. Gave up on a good prospect to get him, so assumed the logical thing would be to resign, especially considering he played (for the most part) well here, after the whole thumbs down shit. Oh well. Good for him, gets the chance to go back to SS and probably will make good money. I wish him nothing but the best. In addition to a few more arms, I would still love to see them add Kris Bryant. Really good bat, can play almost anywhere on the field, continues to add depth. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sharpshooter Posted December 7, 2021 Share Posted December 7, 2021 I wanted the Yankees to ax Boone and bring in Buck instead. He would be great for the Mets. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dunny Posted December 9, 2021 Share Posted December 9, 2021 Former New York Met John Gibbons is available, and fucking awesome. Didn't have much issue managing circles around Showalter a few years ago. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Keirik Posted December 9, 2021 Share Posted December 9, 2021 I don’t see the appeal of Showalter. He’s a .500 manager that really hasn’t been relevant in years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Patrick Bateman Posted December 10, 2021 Author Share Posted December 10, 2021 He probably wants Showalter because he's the type of guy who wouldnt take the ball from him when he's got 2 outs in the 6th with 83 pitches and has only given up one run. He blamed his dead arm on Roberts not letting him pitch deep in games and said he needs to be throwing 100 pitches every 5 days to keep everything running properly so I can see him wanting to avoid them hiring someone who's quick on the trigger with the bullpen Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They have the guys with the charts and the graphs calling down to the dugout and telling the manager when the pitcher is done. Every time I want to watch baseball, this is what stops me from doing it. It's completely over processed. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dunny Posted December 11, 2021 Share Posted December 11, 2021 Depends on the FO. I don't think a guy like Anthopolous does that, but it's generally true. Most Managers are just the face of the FO, now. Montoya in Toronto is a great example. He doesn't make any decisions. He's not very smart, that's a good thing, he just executes his instructions. What he is, is a likable guy, very humble, very pleasant, speaks Spanish, and is able to keep the players happy. That's his job. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Patrick Bateman Posted December 11, 2021 Author Share Posted December 11, 2021 Yea all correct. Its sad how we may never see a vintage 8/9 inning grind out game by a starting pitcher in the playoffs anymore. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RichieNextel305 Posted December 18, 2021 Share Posted December 18, 2021 Mets name Buck Showalter as manager. Great hire. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sharpshooter Posted December 20, 2021 Share Posted December 20, 2021 Great hire for the Mets! I think he'll be a perfect fit and really bring a no nonsense attitude the Mets have needed. He won't put up with Lindor's crap and I expect the team to have laser focus this season. I also really like the additions they made, adding some talent and leadership as well.

NY Chief Posted January 3, 2022 Share Posted January 3, 2022 Has anyone seen "Once Upon a Time in Queens" on ESPN+? Great show. Brings back a lot of good (and bad) memories.

Sharpshooter Posted January 12, 2022 Share Posted January 12, 2022 I'm glad that Cohen seems to want to bring back some recognition of history and tradition back to the Mets. I think he wants to do an Old Timer's Day and to bring back Banner Day, if I recall. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
