    Merryweather has everything needed to be a starter, but he's 29, injury prone, and has not pitched much since 2017. If he was 24, then I think it's a no brainer you put him in the rotation, but current situation seems more logical for him to be a closer, especially if he's potentially this good.
  2. glory
    My guess is they will use the DH to rotate the outfielders most of the time, while sprinkling in Panik at DH because of his big bat.
  3. glory
    I'd take Davis over Panik too, but since Davis never gets a chance to hit I didn't want to presume what his offensive talent actually is. Regardless, Buntoyo must be looking at Panik's 67 wRC+ against RHP since 2019 to justify having him not only pinch hit in the 9th inning but also START AT DH. Gotta get that bat in the lineup. I know OF defense won't matter as much with Zoinks pitching, but could have easily had Davis in CF, Grichuk in RF, and Hernandez at DH to at least improve the defensive part of the lineup.

    There's a pretty good chance Espinal might be better than Panik at this point, so they not only demoted the better utility player but will now allow Buntoyo to use Panik as a pinch hitter when he might be the worst hitter on the team once Springer replaces Davis on the roster. This is why I was pulling for Valera or anyone else to win that utility spot even though I knew it was Panik's the moment he signed his name to a contract.
  5. glory
    This is why Panik shouldn’t have made the team. He’s a perfectly adequate backup infielder but when your manager is a moron, Panik becomes a dangerous guy to have on the bench.

    Panik over Kirk. Wow.
  7. glory
    Yeah that K was sadly predictable. When Tellez is off, he’s really off.
  8. glory
    That’s the most baseball thing ever. Two s***** bloops are singles, the one hard hit is caught.
  9. glory
    If Kirk is not starting tomorrow, then a riot is mandatory.
  10. glory
    Thank goodness for the 3 batter minimum because you know Buntoyo wants to make a pitching change right now.
  11. glory
    Could have left Chatwood in as well as he only threw 9 pitches.
  12. glory
    Charlie had Jansen give the Yankees a free out because he knew Merryweather only needed a one run lead. Buntoyo two steps ahead of everyone, as always.
  13. glory
    Merryweather is a GD stud. Just stay healthy.
  14. glory
    Buntoyo doesn't deserve to manage a lineup this good, but we have to hope the talent can compensate.
  15. glory
    Agreed, but with two strikes it is insane. I don't think any other baseball person on earth would do it in that situation. At least Charlie is unique.
  16. glory
    Buntoyo wanting to bunt with 2 strikes still baffles me.
  17. glory
    Cole gets an outside pitch called a strike, and Ryu gets a low pitch in the zone get called a ball. Doesn't look like the ump will be consistent today, but that's just MLB umpiring.

    Happy for Lindor getting his money but that's a contract that will not age well.
  19. glory
    My issue was not the prospect capital (Atkins hardly ever trades prospects so I wasn't worried there) but the contract extension + having to move the team's best player off SS at age 23. With Lindor being a PA rep, that should have been an immediate red flag to the Mets that an extension was either going to be insanely expensive (to help the players) or impossible because he'd want to test the market to maximize money. I still don't think it was a bad deal for the Mets necessarily. Use him for a year, maximize 2021 wins, qualify him, and then get a very good SS for less (one of Correa/Baez/Story) in free agency. If that's the worst case, it's not bad. It made less sense for the Jays since their 2023-25 seasons are likely going to be better than their 2021 season, so going all in for a year seemed like bad timing. Makes me think Atkins wasn't really all that into him and it was mostly media propaganda, but who knows. Either way, I'm glad they went with Semien at 2B. Much better fit and keeps Bo at short.
  20. glory
    Lindor clearly wants to test free agency and is forcing the Mets to ridiculously overpay him in order to get him to extend. No way he would turn down 10/325 otherwise. That's a very fair offer. That's not a discount. There's no guarantee a team gives him more than that 9 months from now, but he obviously wants to bet on himself and take that chance. Cohen is definitely going to turn the fans against Lindor if no extension is reached, but all of that could be flipped if Lindor has an amazing season.
  21. glory
    This is why I was baffled why so many posters wanted to trade for Lindor. Not only a rental, but a MLBPA rep who is going to want a top 5-10 contract in baseball history (+ at least a decade in length) to re-sign.
  22. glory
    Wouldn't surprise me if Price doesn't care what his role is at this point. He has made over $200m in his career, is still owed $64m over the next two years, and is well off enough to have given up close to $12m (37% of his salary) for two months of work in 2020 by sitting out. Has a ring and a Cy Young. He's probably in relaxing mode right now. They'll use him for ~100 innings, probably out of the pen in the playoffs, and he'll get $32m for that. Not a bad gig.
  23. glory
    Hopefully they will use Thornton in a way where he can stretch out while in the bullpen. He's probably the 4th best healthy starter on the team at the moment depending on how you feel about the Diesel.
  24. glory
    The Jays should be fine for a few weeks with Grichuk/Davis in CF. They need Springer healthy so hopefully some restraint is shown by the FO and Springer.
  25. glory
    Yeah, I could see Davis being kept as a 5th OF/pinch runner/defensive replacement. The team doesn't have a legit backup CF. Grichuk can play there, but he's better suited for RF. The fact that Davis has an option left is the only reason they might not put him on the 26 man roster. That, and it depends a lot on how many pitchers they want to carry. If the "taxi squad" is still a thing (don't remember if it is), then he'll probably end up being on it.
