Send Povich down, bring up Krook. When it's Povich's turn again, send down Krook and bring up McDermott 

McDermott pitched today and lasted one third of an inning.

I was there. It was the first baseball game that I've walked out on in years. Tides had the lead, then Durham put up something like 8 runs in an inning and we left in the 8th or so. 

A bit depressing that the AAA team and the big league team get blown out like that on the same day (I was tracking the O's on my phone at the game).

Plus we got soaked by a crazy violent rainstorm before play even started. Just an overall loser of a day. At least the rain cooled things off. It's been over 100 this week where I live.

Good thing we had Irvin as a long man than what we had before. I don’t think Vespi would’ve eaten 4 IP and we would’ve had to use 1-2 extra relievers. 

Now onto the not so good… Irvin couldn’t get outs in the best matchup in MLB. Facing Oakland in that ballpark.

In the same game that Povich couldn’t make it out of first inning . Disappointing day , to say the least

    • I certainly wouldn’t be surprised if he changed nothing in terms of strategy.  Look at what he traded recently right handed batters. I feel like it is more important to him to be innovative, and develop players that have been forgotten or have failed in the major leagues than it is to actually win a World Series. Obviously, that’s the end goal of all the things he’s doing, but he wants to do it in a way that looks innovative, and it looks like he knows more about the players that failed and how to fix them than any other person. I honestly believe that is why Hyde has been here so long. He does everything that he’s told and they don’t want to bring in a manager that won’t do that. I wouldn’t be surprised if he has a lineup made up for him every day and I also wouldn’t be surprised if the whole game plan was planned out for him. What do you do when and where.. Obviously the numbers mean a lot in baseball and are extremely  helpful but they’re not everything. 
    • I'll celebrate whoever we get in a high echelon of MLB talent, but unfortunately unpacking this season too soon I think I don't even really want to win the Burnes bidding. Elias will value the next half season of information on Felix, Grayson and Bradish to figure out who goes with Eflin.     The growth he showed this year winning the Burnes and Eflin trade markets adds confidence he'll staff the top of the pitching roster appropriately in July 2025. If he is very risk averse with Kremer, Povich and Suarez, people would flip out but people like Kyle Gibson, Patrick Corbin and Jose Quintana hit me as safe innings he might actually pursue.
    • The team's valuation only matters at time of sale. The owner's wealth in an uncapped sport like MLB determines how much the team can spend. Steve Cohen by any metric available has tons more millions to SPEND than Hal Steinbrenner. Steve Cohen has even operated at a deficit over 100 million before which I believe was in 2023. And most importantly he has the WILL to get into the deepest of pools when it comes to FA as he has already shown in his short time owning the Mets.
    • I think Bregman would be an awesome fit. I don’t know how you decide westburg/JH and who plays second, but Bregman would be that veteran RH hitter who has experience and enjoys the big moment. Maybe we try JH at CF officially. Maybe he’s super utility next year, but that would be a weird way to develop a #1 prospect. but I would love it if we got Bregman. 
    • The Musgrove deal was viewed as a team-friendly hometown discount extension at the time.
    • Richest owner and richest team are different things. If you go by most valuable teams the Yankees are very high up there. If you go by richest owner it's the Clippers owner.
    • It's actually the Cowboys but I don't think they need any pitching.
