Dumbest manager in baseball. Absolutely nothing he said makes any sense.

Makes sense. The odd thing is this is a basic idea. If that's our org philosophy then why aren't hitting coaches at lower levels pushing this so it isn't some mind blowing concept at the big league level? Maybe it doesn't work in the minors where pitchers are trying to develop certain pitches?
Good morning to everyone but Anaheim, #GoHalos fans and Shohei Ohtani. You’re one of the best players in baseball, you’re going to be the hottest trade commodity on the market this month…and you still can’t beat the @astros in 2023. #Ready2Reign🤘🏼🔥#ad @CramCrew pic.twitter.com/WcNZoqjANb

Justin Verlander was booed as he walked off the Citi Field mound following the top of the fifth.

Verlander's line: 5 IP, 2 H, 3 ER, 6 BB, 6 K, 104 pitches.
Dodgers 3, Mets 0, mid-five.
Maybe. He has millions of reasons to not care, though.EastCoastAgNc said:Justin Verlander was booed as he walked off the Citi Field mound following the top of the fifth.

Think JV is wishing he'd gone somewhere else (not saying here)?

They tinkered a lot with Corey early on. Some AB's Dusty was telling him to swing no matter what and applauding him for doing so even if he struck out. I'm sure there's a method to the madness but it's nice to see him drawing more walks lately
Wait, I don't want to jump the gun here, but did he just acknowledge that Maldy's hitting is so poor that he might need to be pinch hit for? Maybe a shred of sense?Marvin said:linkdude said:so this, uh, isn't great logic...Dusty Baker: "They had a left-hander in there.

9th-rder Jeron Williams signs w/@Astros for $147,500 (pick 284 value = $172,500). @ToledoBaseball SS, MAC player of the year, well above-average speed, led NCAA D-I w/49 SB while batting 403/467/681 w/14 HR. @MLBDraft

Eso si, Que es said:
Be funny if Mets ate a part of JV's salary, I know they wouldn't, just be the most 2023 Mets thing ever. And it would make that fat f/cking fan have a heart attack right where he stood

But seriously, if that's what he's thinking then get Salazar back to Houston ASAP.

Good looking out. Tried to order a Valdez and Alvarez but they were out of the hurricane. Still got Alvarez.tjack16 said:
Btw… gold jerseys are currently $75 at the team store until they run out of them
I just ordered one over the phone and it was $15 shipping, so $90 total

Seriously. Who knew Grae Kessinger was still on the roster
Quote:
Blake Snell, LHP, Padres
Since he allowed six earned runs in four innings against the Red Sox on May 19, Snell has arguably been the best pitcher in the game, going 5-1 with a 0.68 ERA over his past nine starts. Snell -- who is earning $16 million this season, the final year of his five-year, $50 million deal -- has allowed just four earned runs over 53 innings during that stretch, striking out 84 batters while holding hitters to a .155 batting average and .458 OPS. San Diego could go either way at the Trade Deadline, but if the Padres sell, Snell will become a hot commodity.
Potential fits: Astros, Rangers, Red Sox

Man some you guys sure can ruin anything.
I was just mentioning an interesting conversation I heard and thought it was good insight and a good example of what happens BTS.
Now it's flipped to 'Our organization isn't aligned and this isn't being taught across the system? WTF?'.

by the way...Ohtani's ERA is 3.50
on track for the worst pitching season of his career
18IP 11ER vs the good guys for a 5.50 ERA.
