It's possible, but if they don't I expect multiple prospects in return.

How you make those moves and not sign him

Re: MLB thread
 

The Lerner's pretty much suck but what we do have is a great GM in Rizzo. I will be tuning in to see this kid Gray pitch tomorrow.

Braves are finally over .500. This has been one fucker of a season. But sweeping the Cardinals is always fantastic.

This.

Rizzo is not one to sit on his ass if things aren't working. Leonsis could take a cue from him - it took him wayyyyy too long to get rid of Grunfeld and Scotty Brooks.

Re: MLB thread
 

Is Rizzo a great GM if the farm system is completely devoid of talent?

Re: MLB thread
 

Good series Mets!!

I couldn't care less what you label him.

The goal is to win titles - and he's ahead of many others in that regard.

Can't get away from racists no matter where you go. Just surprising someone would have the gall to yell that shit out in public. Well I guess in today's world maybe it's not all that surprising.

That sounds so loud…how in the hell didn’t anyone else hear that? Read where nobody on the field heard it. Been in 7 ballparks, they are wide open, you can easily hear people yelling from your section at the field, especially during the middle of an at-bat.

Really interested in just how this wasn’t heard by ushers and attendants. Somebody really needed to get decked for this shit

Looks like the writer from the Huffpost (trash) who caused this to go viral got everybody.

ESPN already scrub any mention of the story…of course

Re: MLB thread
 

It's one of those deals where you can hear either word depending on what you're listening for.

Re: MLB thread
 

First story I read was a retraction listening to the audio it sounded like "dinger" but like you said Matty had I read initial article it might have sounded differently.

MLB thread
 

It appears that the guy was looking at Dinger and I want to give him the benefit of the doubt for my own sanity. It really does sound like the n word, and im literally trying to hear dinger.

There can be no way he was yelling the n word looking and waving at dinger was a built in excuse right? That would be crazy.

Im going with he was saying Dinger. Though it does sound like the n word.

What is really fucked up is it is 2021 and completely believable that some random dude would be yelling that at a baseball game.

Agreed. Next year it should be on a different night than the first Redskins game in 8 months though, I didn't watch any of it. That intro was legendary, and what better way to end it than a walkoff. MLB couldn't have done a better job with it.

F him terrible look. If you won't want to be booed play better and win games. Clapping back at the fans when you're 7.5 games back in the division is seriously pathetic.

Re: MLB thread
 

The Mets went from looking like they were turning a corner, first place, new owner, best pitcher ever …to the most Mets season ever in like a few weeks. Wow. My heart goes out to all my Yankee hater friends with huge baseball heads. Not really though.

Don't look now but they've won 4 straight and are showing signs of life. ATL and PHI aren't exactly world beaters so anything is possible in that division.

Meh…4 games against teams 20 games under .500. It is the 2020 mlb version of the nfc east though so who knows.

oh believe me I'm not bragging about winning 4 in a row against the Nats and Marlins. The Mets do have a chance to get back into things with 30 games to go and a bunch of division games left, so I'll take it.

Gotta be in it to win it. Totally didn’t think you were bragging about them. It is just like us last year. Nobody thought we were making any noise in the playoffs but hey ya never know.

It helps to not have the weight of expectations on you - nobody expected the Nats or the Caps to go far the years they won it all. But when you're the best team in the regular season they expect you to be the best team in the playoffs too.

Re: MLB thread
 

Yay Mets!!

Re: MLB thread
 

Who has had the more disappointing season, the Mets or the Padres? IMO Padres. This was a team that was expecting to smack big brother in the moutht his season and fell woefully flat.

Re: MLB thread
 

The Padres laid down like the dogs they are at the feet of a team that fights no matter the situation.

Bigly sweep for the Braves

Re: MLB thread
 

I'm gonna give the Padres next year before I judge this year. Their rotation was scotch taped together a large chunk of the year. Next year they should have a top 3 rotation. If they can add 1 more solid bat, I think they could be the best team in baseball.
