This isn't that bad until you get to the part where Bay is 7th

then it just makes your head hurt.

Well

He hit second in the order exactly once this season, which isn’t enough to say with any kind of authority that it “didn’t work.”

That's more than enough SS for Jerry

You know what?

I don’t mind it…let’s see what happens and if this can the offense going. I’m just glad there’s no Francoeur or Barajas in there at this point. The only thing I don’t like is Castillo 2nd since you know that is an automatic sac bunt if Reyes gets on base.

i think it's weird that they'll relegate Bay to 7th and bat Castillo 2nd

wouldn’t putting Bay 2nd make more sense?

I support Jenrry Mejia as a starter. Screw you Jerry Manuel for thinking he's a set-up man.

Bay isn't as good getting the bunt down.

True

although less at bats for Bay in big spots may be better for the team right now. But yeah, I really can’t stand Castillo batting second.

Pardon my French

but this is the stupidest fucking lineup I’ve seen since Captain Dumbass tried to hit Reyes 3rd. The entire reason the offense lit up in June is that Castillo’s lame ass was on the DL and not clogging up the 2 hole with his slaps and bunts while Pagan was ripping it up like Reyes Lite.

Anything that takes ABs away from Pagan and Wright is indefensibly stupid.

It can't do any worse than anything we've run out of there the last week

I don't think batting a guy with a .343 OBP in the 2 hole is close to the same as filling the entire lineup with suck

batting a guy with a sub .300 wOBA #2

is pretty close. If they want the obp then put Bay there. At least he can get the ball out of the endzone. If there wasn’t such thing as an empty .340 obp before this season Castillo has since invented it. You can live with a .370+ obp, and 370-400ish slugging. 343 is barely above average and in no way makes up for sub 300 slugging.

I want Jerry Manuel fired now, not three years from now. That is my stance.- John Peterson

Is it football season already?

Endzone…haha.

well i bet castillo couldn't throw it out of the endzone ether

by Gina on Jul 23, 2010 8:26 PM EDT up reply actions  

He'd probably punt the ball out of the endzone, though.

I’m sure he’s no Jeff Feagles.

by Steve Schreiber on Jul 23, 2010 8:27 PM EDT up reply actions  

Eh, there are plenty of good managers that still put Castillo types in the 2 hole

It’s just that we know that Jerry is awful and will bunt with Luis every time someone is on base.

by FrancoTAU on Jul 23, 2010 7:17 PM EDT up reply actions  

"Castillo types" are fine

But the actual Castillo sucks horribly.

by Steeeve on Jul 23, 2010 7:37 PM EDT up reply actions  

Sucks horribly??? Hardly

At least he gets on base at a decent margin

no he gets on base barely at an above average margin

while being one of the worst slugging players in the league. He is one of the worst hitters in the league literally. He is actually as bad as Jeff Francouer at this point.

I want Jerry Manuel fired now, not three years from now. That is my stance.- John Peterson

by Gina on Jul 23, 2010 8:08 PM EDT up reply actions  

I was going to add that in most situations, batting Bay 2nd would be the "no shit" solution

However, given the way this entire offense, and especially Bay, has performed, putting someone who walks at a decent margin in the 2 hole isn’t the dumbest thing Jerry has ever done.

yeah but if we're using that as a scale

there’s almost nothing we can criticize him for.

He needs to be comfortable in

the 1, 2 and 3 holes. Anything below that is deviant.

by deadspy3 on Jul 23, 2010 8:23 PM EDT up reply actions  

At least Cora's not hitting 2nd

You don't cheer for the Mets. You drink for the Mets.

by Kevin H on Jul 23, 2010 8:28 PM EDT reply actions  

also as bad as castillo is

even if ENTIRELY by accident Jerry kind of finally got it right with 3 and 4

by Gina on Jul 23, 2010 8:29 PM EDT reply actions  

if castillo remembers how to hit the ball out of the infield, this has a small possibility of working

but i have a bigger feeling pagan will be slumping shortly…partly due to me picking him up in fantasy -

my list of met pickups and subsequent fails include: frenchy, barajas, pagan (immediately proceeded to go into a small slump), and mike pelfrey..let’s see how this goes

by Mike Clemente on Jul 23, 2010 8:32 PM EDT reply actions  

I grabbed Pagan about 2 months ago

He’s been awesome for me. You’d better not ruin him.

jk.

seriously

i am shocked he is still around in your league.

Ive had him for months and i just missed out on him in another league around the same time.

I am a fan of both the mets and knicks... so just kill me now.

and he just road the DL until he was called up. Luckily I had no one else hit the DL until he had to be activated…Damn Utley

I did too

and put him on the DL

so is Jerry going to eject?

cause that would be worth the crash.

Jerrybot will never be fixed.

If anything, it’s just taking a day off. It’ll go back to being it’s normal, weirdo self sooner than you’d expect.

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!
