Around SBN: Jeremy Lin And How The Pac-12 Missed Him

Oliver Perez

Does anyone know how his stuff has looked this spring? Hes been pretty successful and looking solid, but does anyone know where his fastball has been sitting and peaking? and how does his slider look?

Im a huge fan and think he's in for a big bounceback year. He seemed to be turning it around a bit near the end of last year and it would be HUGE for the Mets if he could flash some of his former glory.

I know he had a bad outing
in his debut, and he apparently hit a cameraman with a wild pitch when warming up.. but yea I really hope he becomes a solid guy for us.

Ollie
I've always been a huge fan and I really hope he can pull it together this year. He has some control problems and a lot of difficulty repeating his delivery. He looked terrible in his first spring start but has been a bit more consistent since. Hard to judge too much during these exhibition games, but  I'd still rather see him pitch well than not.

I was more curious how....
... his stuff has looked?

The results in the spring arent as important as getting his stuff and control in shape.

I am curious if hes sitting at 85/86, 89/90, or 92/93

Fastball
It has been in the 89-90 area from what I have seen, but it is still early in spring, and Gary and Ron have commented that the gun they are using seems to be a bit on the low side, so it may be that Ollie is hitting low nineties right now.

Ollie Comeback
As someone who has drafted Ollie for three years in a row waiting for the resurge, let me just say: please. Soon?

Judging by the comments to Matt Callan’s ode to 1986 Mets: A Year To Remember from a few weeks back, the video has a devoted Mets fan following. Despite being too young to remember anything about that season, it has a special place in my fandom as well. It was part of a two video rotation (Ghostbusters being the other) which ran almost daily on my television for a few years in the early 90s. And it remained a once-in-awhile watch through high school and college. 

Unsurprisingly, the physical tape deteriorated over time, and the screen jumps and sound skips made for a less than optimal viewing experience. With sale of the video discontinued, my brother converted it to DVD and gave it to me for Christmas in 2010. See the picture above for the box and DVD. He even created a scene selection function which can be accessed from the main menu. "Get Metsmerized!" plays on loops on the menu screen. It is my favorite Christmas gift ever and is still nice to throw on for a watch.

"How'd we do it? Mirrors!"
I was flipping through some of my parents' photo albums this afternoon in search of one particular shot of the sign my older sister made for Mets Banner Day back in the late eighties. Though I didn't find that one — I'll post it when I eventually track it down, and I can assure you that it's Keith-themed — but I did stumble upon this wonderful photo of my younger sister's stuffed animal menagerie spread out in front of a glorious rainbow-festooned Mets pennant, also from the late eighties.

She works for the HRC now and was particularly delighted to be reminded of this photo.

Now that banner day is back, hopefully this years will look a little like this. I know it's not great, but i don't pretend to be a professional. embiggen!
