Right, they should run out vets that can't hit and/or field instead.

I wonder if the Mets can get thier overage down to the next lower level? That'd be something. Not that Cohen can't afford it of course.

Please stand up, please stand up.

That's a bit better for the Mets than it sounds, since they are so far into overage.

Then I'll back you on the rest.

Maybe? I don't know, for me that would be such a momenta difference in value that I'd be hard pressed to come at it from that angle.

It sounds like the issue is with Scherzer. So changing the offer won't change that.

Do you think they are calling for middle-middle?

I'm firmly in camp a tuxedo needs a bowtie.

I think I'm pretty skeptical by nature but I can't think of a good reason for them to invent a case of vertigo for Mountcastle to suffer from.

Or you know, he was suffering from vertigo. They didn't need to fabricate a reason to send him down.

DL Hall is throwing 96 and striking out 18 year olds.

Because they aren't siding with the writers and actors.

It only took a second to go over the wall!

Right, it takes two and he isn't all that interested in dancing. Just like it was too expensive during the offseason.

And everyone agreed with that at the time of the trade. So why mention it again?

? I don't recall anyone having an issue with the trade.

I'm not opposed to looking into the option depending on how he plays the rest of the season. But right now it's too early.

I don't get being upset about owners that spend money on players instead of pocketing the profits. I will say that Moreno appears to meddle a lot and is pretty easy to root against.

Sure they could. They traded for Fujinami and his WHIP is 1.621. BTW I'm not down on Fuji, I just think it's early to suggest extending him.

Oh. So you were just wrong about losing the first two games. That's what threw me off, I couldn't see how someone could make such a stupid mistake. I guess I didn't notice who was posting.

Can do or choose to do?

WTH are you talking about? They swept a double header the first two games after they made the trade. And I have no idea why would be against the Angels being a playoff team. As long as it doesn't cost the O's a spot I'm all for Ohtani and Trout in the playoffs.

I thought that a couple times during the off season with Correa. I don't trust the Mets FO to run as tight a ship as Elias does.

I didn't say this was all on Elias. I've been more critical of ownership than I have of Elias. I didn't even say room to add payroll, I said extremely low payroll.
