Any Opinions on K-Rod?

I was excited because I thought he assaulted Jerry then became distraught when I found out it was his father, but then I was corrected and I was just disappointed that he assaulted his father in law in the end.

by HELLYEAHGARYOAK on Aug 12, 2010 11:48 AM EDT reply actions  

I think his actions were reprehensible

he hit an older man, a family member, and in front of children too. Absolutely ridiculous.

You just don't want to pass judgment because he's a Met

ESPN

Turns out, the NCAA didn’t need to do anything. Thomas was oh-so-politely informed by NBA commissioner David Stern that the NBA doesn’t allow league personnel to have any contact with players who aren’t eligible for the NBA draft. From the AP:
“We have been informed by the Knicks that Isiah Thomas has rescinded his consulting agreement with the team. As a result, it is not necessary for the league to take any formal action on the proposed arrangement,” Stern said. “However, we have reminded the Knicks of NBA rules that prohibit team personnel, including consultants, from having contact with players not eligible for the draft.”

Mets manager Jerry Manuel, speaking before the suspension, said he wouldn’t hesitate to use Rodriguez during Thursday’s game against Colorado if the pitcher returned to Citi Field in time

However, he said he would not use him in a tie game on the road, or for a four out save. But only if he was up on assault charges.

LOL

wasn’t our pitching suppose to be terrible at the beginning of the season?

and our offense score like 6 runs at least every game?

its funny how things flipped and our offense is the problem and our pitching is great.

Watch Minaya deal with this problem and sign a bat and next year our pitching will lack. He needs to learn to correct problems and forsee future problems and correct them before they become a problem

I hate Philadelphia so much.

You know

If this team could score any runs…

I mean, has there been a better performing five man rotation in baseball this year?

by Jeffrey Paternostro on Aug 12, 2010 2:31 PM EDT reply actions  

agreed

With all the switching we’ve done to it. I’d take our staff in a playoff series. But i also agree our bats have been anemic since July 1. It saddens me.

I hate Philadelphia so much.

I'm not so sure about that...

If there is a way to lose a shutout, this team will find it.

I've long felt

that when (if?) the Mets finally throw that no hitter that they will somehow lose the game.

CANT HAPPEN

Baseball has decided that if you give up any runs, it’s not a “no-hitter.” Even if, like, you don’t give up any hits.

by tmu on Aug 12, 2010 2:48 PM EDT up reply actions  

See Andy Hawkins, July 1, 1990

Threw a no-hit game for the Yankees against the White Sox and lost, 4-0. MLB declared that it wasn’t a “no-hitter”

Damn...

by MookieTheCat on Aug 12, 2010 2:57 PM EDT up reply actions  

because the Yankees lost on the road, there was no bottom of the 9th

baseball decreed that it has to be 9 innings completed

by packard37 on Aug 12, 2010 4:17 PM EDT up reply actions  

So technically it's "no hit wins" not "no hitters"

But there is no indication in that box score that it didn’t count as a no hitter. There is no indication that it does (other than the 0 hits) either.

blurgh! - me

by blains2000 on Aug 12, 2010 2:59 PM EDT up reply actions  

From the Wiki:

On September 4, 1991 the Committee for Statistical Accuracy, appointed by Commissioner Fay Vincent, changed the definition of a no-hitter to require that a pitcher throw at least nine full innings and a complete game. Since Hawkins played for the visiting team, the White Sox never batted in the ninth inning and Hawkins lost the credit for a no-hitter.

by CTRefJay on Aug 12, 2010 3:00 PM EDT up reply actions  

Got it

So it’s not the win per se. On the road if you give up the winning run without benefit of a hit in the bottom of the 10th you could still get a no hitter. Interesting. And it was retroactive. So it was a no hitter at the time. Ha ha.

blurgh! - me

by blains2000 on Aug 12, 2010 3:06 PM EDT up reply actions  

I think Pascual and Melido Perez

each threw rain-shortened “no-hitters,” both of which were subsequently scrubbed from the record books as “no-hitters”

by tmu on Aug 12, 2010 3:12 PM EDT up reply actions  

Coulda sworn

I’m WRONG. Sorry. They merely defined the no-hitter to require 9 innings (e.g., you can’t lose on the road or have a rain-shortened no hitter.)

by tmu on Aug 12, 2010 2:52 PM EDT up reply actions  

The two games we won were shut outs

Someone asked if there was a better starting 5

Well, Mets are in the top 10 in starter e.r.a., but are 22nd in xfip.

by wobatus on Aug 12, 2010 2:38 PM EDT reply actions  

A large part of that is probably due to Citifield

giants? Padres?

Ryan Miller was the true MVP.
I really hate Jerry.

by Jsz on Aug 12, 2010 2:40 PM EDT up reply actions  

Yes

Giants and padres have a better starting pitcher e.r.a., as do the Athletics, mariners (also nice pitcher parks), Cards being first, Braves…this is all without going to fip or xfip.

But Johan’s xfip is pretty bad, yet he always outperforms it. he has a low hr/fb, and not just due to the parks or luck i think. he has a very high IFFB%.

And in any event, last 3 starts, he is back. if Pelfrey is good Mike, and Niese stays hot, Dickey back on track, well, that’s a nice top 4.

by wobatus on Aug 12, 2010 2:46 PM EDT up reply actions  

Well

I said performed better. There FIPs are all reasonable. xFIP is tough cause they really haven’t given up any home runs. But a lot of that might be Citi Field.

by Jeffrey Paternostro on Aug 12, 2010 2:51 PM EDT up reply actions  

But yes

I would probably take the Padres and Giants rotations. Maybe Yankees, too.

by Jeffrey Paternostro on Aug 12, 2010 2:53 PM EDT up reply actions  

Basically,

looks at GO/fly out ratio, how many line drives you’re giving up, etc., and then normalizes it to look like an ERA. It’s supposed to be a more advanced way to tell if your pitchers are more lucky than good.

by tmu on Aug 12, 2010 2:43 PM EDT up reply actions  

It also regresses

HR/FB%

Which is why the MEts have all outperformed their xFIP to varying degrees,

2013 ALL-STAR GAME(TM) LOGO CONTEST

Major League Baseball has formally announced that Citi Field will be the site of the 2013 All-Star Game. (see video) In light of this, I have decided to launch an All-Star Game logo contest. To help get you started, I provided all of you with a sample All-Star Game logo. (click here to embiggen) If you wish to participate, please enter your submission with an image below, in the comments section. The contest ends on May 31st. I will choose a select number of finalists, and the community will vote on which of those logos is the best one.

Can you create a better logo than the sample logo provided? Then, give it a shot. Good luck to all participants!
Jon Rauch is awesome. Dan Tanna is, obviously, a fan of Greg Pomes.
