he must have been jogging on that one

 

Yeah, I thought for sure he would beat that one out. God help us if it was Castro that didn't go full-speed.

Just trying to get this stuff straight for the future. So Chicago media are racist toward Dominican players but do like ones from Puerto Rico?

Why are the Mets' broadcasters highly thought of?

 

By who? Awful Announcing ranks them pretty low.

 

Fangraphs had them ranked really high.

Ya and they weren't as low as I thought on Awful Announcing, so I agree. Hernandez is actually painful to listen to because he goes full meatball most of the time and he's not even entertaining about it like when John Kruk goes full meatball. For example, the one time out of 20 that a batter beats the shift on a ground ball he will go on some crazy rant about how stupid it is and then ignore the other 19 times its effective. I guess you get idiot broadcasting when you have an idiot organization.

 

EDIT: Christ Awful Announcing actually has them ahead of Len and JD. I'm not even being biased here but that is a joke.

I find it very entertaining that their tone suggests they are actually Yankees announcers, since they are so condescending about weak organizations like the Cubs. They do not seem to understand what the Mets are all about.

Looking at Cub hitters we care about with carefully selected sample sizes...

 

Baez - .205/.239/.318/.557 last 11 games

Alcantara - .176/.250/.239/.489 last 22 games

Rizzo - .234/.315/.340/.655 last 24 games

 

On plus side...

 

Castro - .397/.414/.529/.943 last 17 games

nice play, but i worry Castro's entering Jeter territory where he has to dive for play that aren't that hard for normal SSs

 

but if he's ultimately bound for 3B, i'm cool with it

This is the part of Baez's level up progression where he starts to show signs of adjustment right? Will be interesting to see how quickly he can step it up.

The Mets are still building around young starting pitching because pitchers never break and usually hit their ceilings. Hernandez is a buffoon and I hate the sound of his voice. Seinfeld is the only thing I like about him.

 

PS - My hatred for the Mets runs deep and I have no idea why that is, but I can't stand anything about them.
