  1. I like to think I have the heart of a riverboat gambler in the old west. 6 weeks either means he is doomed, or it means I'm getting really good pot odds.
  2. I'd make a friendly honor wager that anyone whose record is 75 points above or below their Py W/L at the end of April, with spend the rest of the season closer to their Py W/L than their actual record. And I won't even bother to research it before making that wager.
  3. If it was someone else, I'd suggest that you explain that young players improve as they gain experience. But such explanations only matter if the recipient of the explanation cares about it.
  4. Don't even go there. I know more about the art of sleeping than anyone in the world. I fall asleep at night planning my next day's nap.
  5. There is no fan base the likes of the RS. Half of them are pretty astute. Half of them are challenged to count past 10.
  6. No chance I'd do it. I like Morejon, but he is not elite and is a 2-month rental. I think Mayer will fetch someone quite a bit better.
  7. Adell has an extra year. And I think he'd make a good DH platoon and a good #4 OF.
  8. Agreed. The Mets aren't rebuilding. I doubt that they trade Lindor, but that's possible. But they have no reason to move Soto.
  9. It's like that in real life as well. Just imho, I rather enjoy being proven wrong. Admitting one's mistakes is a great way to learn.
  10. It's like that in real life as well. Just imho, I rather enjoy trying to figure out whether short-terms trends are a real thing.
  11. Of course, the in-depth analysis of his off-season moves had as much impact as an analysis of Py W/L.
  12. I think it is fairly obvious that a good record beats a bad record, but thank you for bringing that to the court's attention. But if you want to determine how well a team is playing Py W/L is a better descriptor than record. I could show you some numbers, but I doubt you'd look at them.
  13. I think we have be. We have the 3rd best record in the AL, and 7 games better than TB over the past 30 games. Best record is probably a bit of a stretch, but without Judge and Bellinger, and only 3 back in the loss column, we have a shot at 2nd best record. Things can easily go sideways, but we have a shot.
  14. Story is also hurt, if you wanted to generously include him.
  15. I feel the same way. My brain has certain ideas, but my heart says that these kids are building an identity that you can't analyze on FG.
  16. If I am trading Duran, I want a very reliable LF (Springer/Adell). If I'm supplementing Duran, then I am will to make a low-cost gamble.
  17. I don't think so. Assuming we keep Arias, then our 2027 IF is Mead, Arias, and Durbin, and that assumes we get rid of Story and keep Monasterio is the UIF role.
  18. I also wondered about that. I posted many, many times that the 25/26 off-seasons acquisitions were doing great, but it was hard to reconcile that with the fact that we had a decent+ team in 2025. Who'd have believed that Monasterio, Seigler, etc., would be such a big upgrade over Story & Mayer. I'm not bashing them, but when you already have a light-hitting catching tandem, you can't have two other holes in your lineup.
  19. The fun part is that I don't really see numbers that are unsustainable. Monasterio is high, and Contreras & Ceddanne are a little high, but Abreu is a little bit low. We're #5 in OPS in July, and I don't think that can be maintained, but I think we should still remain marginally above average going forward.
  20. This is just borderline insane. Even for those of us that believed. What a game by Bello. Now we have almost our entire BP available for the next two games.
