Around SBN: The Ten Worst Swings Of The 2011 Season

Delgado might have hip surgery and we should be seeing even more of Fernando Tatis. Unless Jerry Manuel hands Omir Santos a first baseman's mitt.

Sweet

Now we have someone else who Jerry will probably hit first or second who has absolutely no business there.

I'm really disappointed by this

I was hoping Pagan would be unduly punished for his arrest just so I wouldn’t have to see him.

by All Shook Down on May 16, 2009 1:40 PM EDT reply actions  

I love Pagan

But we don’t need another outfielder, and he’s only played a handful of games in the past calendar year.

We probaly dont... but who else is there to call up?

I guess maybe Murphy will be taking over some of tatis’s utility duties at third and some time at first. So that just leaves us with… yeah still too many outfielders.

Hopefully this will be temporary.

My hope of all hopes (but will never happen)? Redding’s called up, Livan sent down, Green sent down, Niese calls up, Figueroa stays up in the bullpen, we trade for a 1B/LF bat that we can sign to a longer contact.

It should've been Evans...

but he’s been so terrible they just couldn’t do it. On the other hand, demoting him seems like a slap in the face. Hopefully he can still contribute this season.

by BlackOps on May 16, 2009 2:09 PM EDT up reply actions  

Well with as bad as he was doing in AAA

I’m not sure they had any other choice but to demote him

by Gina on May 16, 2009 2:10 PM EDT up reply actions  

It's hard for Evans

to play in Buffalo, he needs the adrenaline that Bingamton/St. Lucie provides.

His BABIP was 0.089 for chrissakes

Really?

Wow, that is the definition of unlucky. Jesus Christ. Now I feel awful for him.

Very true.

Plus he was battling for playing time with a bunch of schmucks. And I believe he’s a very good defensive 1B. He made highlight plays in his few innings there last year plus I believe the MiLB TZ metrics rated him well.

by All Shook Down on May 16, 2009 7:42 PM EDT up reply actions  

Really?

I wasn’t very impressed with his glove during the spring. But a .089 BABIP is hard to do if you’re trying.

His batted ball profile was the same as last year

hit ‘em where they ain’t Nick.

Oops

Here are the defensive numbers from Minor League Splits —

2005 +10
2006 +10
2007 – 3
2008 + 5 (with Runs/150 of + 13)

by All Shook Down on May 17, 2009 6:22 PM EDT up reply actions  

Was Pagan suspended or something?

He’s only played 3 games for Buffalo.

by Prince on May 16, 2009 2:31 PM EDT reply actions  

He was hurt

Bone spur in his elbow I believe, he’d just been activated a couple days ago.

Wow...outfielders galore

Daniel Murphy isn’t going to get any playing time now. Unless we send Reed down to bring up Redding on Monday.

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 loop on the menu screen. It is my favorite Christmas gift ever and is still nice to throw on for a viewing.

"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!
