    @JonHeyman Inside Baseball: in 2 hours gabe kapler will face perhaps his toughest critics (philly fans). or perhaps 2nd toughest. a quote from the clubhouse: "We'll be OK .. we just need the manager to get out of the way." What's the earliest a manager has been fired?

    https://deadspin.com/what-did-gabe-kapler-f***-up-this-time-1825010802 Just glad I'm not a Philly fan.

    Clearly Cora doesn't want him.

    Four teams in the East and West form a "split rivalry" where the rivalry pairings alternate in odd- and even-numbered years. In the East: Odd-numbered years: Boston Red Sox v. Philadelphia Phillies Toronto Blue Jays v. Atlanta Braves Even-numbered years: Boston Red Sox v. Atlanta Braves (the Braves played in Boston as the Boston Red Stockings, Red Caps, Beaneaters, Doves, Rustlers, and Braves from 1871 through 1952) Toronto Blue Jays v. Philadelphia Phillies

    I thought it was always the Braves?

    @jcmccaffrey Expect a lot of sore muscles and cold bats today after playing in Florida since Feb. 14. It's 33 degrees right now with 30 mph winds. Feels like spring to me!

    SSS. Do you really think he's going to end up at 6.4 wins? He hasn't had a season that good since 2009. He has only hit 5 wins once since then.

    Mets since interleague play: .505 (82 wins per year) Braves since interleage play: .546 (88 wins per year) Last year, an 88 win team in the NL makes the playoffs, while the 82 win team would have had a worse record than the mediocre Cardinals who hovered around .500 all year.

    I'd love Hanley more if he wasn't a negative WAR player who was paid $20M/season.

    There should be!

    Is the first person to be sent down Poyner or Walden? Walden hasn't been very impressive from what I've seen. I think I'd rather have Hembree or Kelly.
  13. mvp 78
    Now there is a word we shouldn't be throwing around. Yuck.
  14. mvp 78
    Maybe mildly better? IDK. It's not a term I see thrown around a whole lot. Again, I'm not a trained linguist.
  15. mvp 78
    I hope JK becomes a shutdown 8th inning guy if that's his ceiling.
  16. mvp 78
    I agree that Kelly's numbers are better. I also agree that my issue with Kelly may be irrational.
  17. mvp 78
    I just don't like Kelly. It's irrational, but I can't help it.
  18. mvp 78
    Cubs aren't required to sweep the Marlins, just the Sox for some reason.
  19. mvp 78
    It looks a lot better than it does now, especially after you replace Kelly with ANYONE else.
  20. mvp 78
    41 games, 6.20 ERA. He failed.
  21. mvp 78
    The closer role is a real weird one. Stat heads believe anyone can close at any time for the most part. However, we saw first hand that Melancon couldn't get the job done here, but has succeeded elsewhere. To me, we've found a guy who has thrived in BOS as a closer and I think you do whatever you can to retain him. If you don't need to reinvent the wheel, don't.
  22. mvp 78
    It's fine. I know everyone gets frustrated once in a while and that's ok. Just for some reason, that word was posted a ton yesterday and it felt out of place.
  23. mvp 78
    The problem is that they complained that the batter bunted against the shift. If you're going to shift against a batter, I don't think bunting is the end of the world. It's not any more cheap than shifting against a batter.
  24. mvp 78
    How can you possibly be mad? They just won 5 in a row.
  25. mvp 78
    Yup. Sometimes new things are scary and weird. I'm glad that Cora has been empowered to be different and make this team his own. A lot of times, Farrell was seen as a puppet of the GM and not really able to take control of the team. This year, it's really evident that Cora is pulling a lot of strings (Poyner, Walden, resting players, early hooks, etc.).
