    Not even saying I think they should hire him, but worth noting the ancillary benefits of someone like JD Martinez on the roster, as a mentor. He was credited a lot as a leader in the Mets clubhouse during their turnaround last year, helping Mark Vientos in the batting cage, and helping players to loosen up and have fun. He REALLY struggled at the end of the season however.

    Sounds like Mets might be throwing Justin Hagenman for his MLB debut. He's never really been a prospect, was a 23rd round draft pick, but one of those players that worked hard to get to AAA and toughed it out enough to finally get a call to the show after parts of 4 seasons. Good for him, and his opponent so beat up today they nearly look like a AAA lineup. Plus the attendance will resemble a AAA park.

    Mets booth spending the inning to celebrate Rod Carew.

    I don't really care about the cheating much. But my goodness any twins fan that booed Altuve while cheering Correa really is the biggest dope.
  5. NYCTK
    Simply shocking that the Twins haven't had a 100 RBI guy, or even a 100 R guy, since the pandemic. That's really, really bad.
  6. NYCTK
    He's hotter than he's ever been since his Rookie of the Year 2019 season.
  7. NYCTK
    Interesting tidbit, the Mets starter for tomorrow, Canning, has been scratched. No clue who they're gonna throw now.
  8. NYCTK
    Honestly, yeah. An 88 win team in the AL is basically 50/50 to win the pennant. C'est La Vie

    Those things are not mutually exclusive. And that's kind of the point of DEI. He was 100% a DEI hire, and your confusion is sizable portion of the country poisoning the well surrounding innocuous terms like DEI, CRT, Woke, etc. Anyways, I sense a big game for #42 tonight!

    I don't ever remember this level of talent discrepancy between leagues as these last couple leagues, but I guess I've never really followed both the NL and AL as closely before.

    Unless Plouffe is in there. He livens up the booth so much the few times I've heard him. I'm basically fully done with Morneau. The monotone delivery and strict adherence to being a Twins Company Man. I much preferred LaTroy the other day I watched, and I don't particularly like him either. Gary, Keith, and Ron are happy to criticize the Mets, fairly, and their respect of the opponent is always nice to see. Last night Gary paid a lot of respect to Buxton and her perseverance through his litany of career injuries. I'd never heard his injuries listed out in such a manner and it really made me respect Buxton a lot more than I typically do. Plus the chemistry after nearly two decades has enhanced the product, as opposed to certain other analysts that become disinterested and curmudgeon (Bert).

    Whoa! They got the best in the business after Scully retired.

    Prior to the trade deadline 2024, this was a tough question. But that week made the direction and management of each franchise clear and I haven't been even slightly torn in rooting interest in their two series since. This Twins team is bad. Not quite as bad as their record, but bad nonetheless. And they were bad last year too. Always like to remind people they were 70-79 against teams that weren't the worst team in major league history. And that record is now 73-90 including this season. Time to blow it up. Striving for mediocrity isn't working, and they've officially lost the fans meaning it's time to do something bold.

    Talk like this is how fans become so disappointed in prospects. He wasn't anywhere near a top prospect in all of baseball. He was top 5 in a middle of the pack farm system. Which is good but no one should expect him to be Koufax. Less unwarranted hype and more appreciation of the actual level of player. I like Festa, and I think he offers a good matchup against Canning. But he's also similarly likely to go 3 and give up 6.

    This is the sad reality of the Twins. The front office hyped up middling prospects as saviors and the fans gave them the benefit of the doubt. Miranda. Martin. Larnach. Lee. Julien. Even Wallner. These are all those players with a C or D rating in potential in The Show. You can't build a team around them but you can hope one or two pops and becomes a regular. Sadly the Twins are just filled with them while their premier prospects presented severe health issues. Window is closed. This organization should sell everything they can and play for 2027.
  16. NYCTK
    Young? The median age for position players is something like 28. Trevor Larnach is 28. Is the median player young also?
  17. NYCTK
    Mets have become one of those teams with an excellent pitching lab, largely thanks to the guy they hired away from Falvey, Jeremy Heffner.
  18. NYCTK
    Mets have 3 they've been using regularly for multiple innings. Butto and Kranick as well.
  19. NYCTK
    The Mets AAA actually.
  20. NYCTK
    Someone must have accidentally banged the trash can. Carlos was looking for the wrong pitch.
  21. NYCTK
    Anyone with the choice should consider listening to the Mets booth. Provus just out there making up stuff as if Mark Reynolds $14 million dollar deal buying out his arb years was some huge contract?
  22. NYCTK
    Fans get too invested in what the Twins Organization and other Twins fans say about their own prospects. Of that list, only Royce and Kiriloff were concensus top level prospects. Lee is kinda that next tier that we should still expect him to be a valuable player but not really an all star.
  23. NYCTK
    No one's paying any sort of premium for a bat only player with a 101 career OPS+. He reminds me of Delmon Young, and he went on to accumulate 0 WAR after the age 25.
  24. NYCTK
    Ditto. LFGM. Everyone should have an NL team. The Twins don't deserve anyone's attention.
  25. NYCTK
    Makes sense, you want the 4th OF to feel comfortable in all 3 positions.
