    i'd much rather root against having to potentially face the best pitcher in the NL twice in 5 games. i'll root for madness in the AL for the fun. plus the mets with thor only once is my ideal opponent so i'd like to lock that in If that's what you're rooting for (as I am), then we want the Mets to clinch a spot in the wild card game on Saturday so Thor would pitch the wild card game. If the Mets don't clinch on Saturday, Thor pitches Sunday and would be ready for Game 1 (and game 5, if necessary) of the NLDS should the Mets get through the Wild Card game. i said on the last page that i'm rooting for them to clinch as early as possible for that reason. they have a magic number of 4.

    christ. i can't watch that.

    I'd much rather keep Soler than trade him for the crappy pitching return he'd net as a main piece. Our rotation may be getting older but it's still very good for 5 spots deep. And we have internal depth there with Montgomery as injury or insurance if one of them totally bombs (depending on whether or not they keep Hammel for that cheap option they have).

    Kershaw won't be pitching in that series my bad...completely forgot he was back when i said that.

    apparently the forecast in philly this weekend for the mets is looking really bad and there might be some craziness with doubleheaders. i don't even want to begin to try to wrap my head around what that would cause.
  8. David
    yeah, still don't think that helps our chances more than assuring syndergaard doesn't face us twice.

    Doesn't help them at all. Plus the 3 way tie is more fun to watch. i'd much rather root against having to potentially face the best pitcher in the NL twice in 5 games. i'll root for madness in the AL for the fun. plus the mets with thor only once is my ideal opponent so i'd like to lock that in

    i really don't think playing an extra game hurts them all that much. for entertainment value, i'll root for the craziness in the AL.

    defensive metrics can vary a lot from year to year. overall he's been pretty close to average (for a CF), which is obviously insanely valuable if you can hit the way he does. one year that graded out as elite and one that graded out poorly.
  12. David
    i'd imagine a lot of that boost by playing RF is mitigated by the decreased positional value.

    at this point i'm rooting so hard for the mets to clinch and clinch early. and i'm almost positive that as long as they have the spot locked up, even if they still have home field up in the air, they'd sit thor on Sunday for the play in game. fg has them at 89.5% to take one. magic number is 4.

    i mean the truth is it doesn't matter that much. if they had the talent, they'd win with him. but i still enjoy it because the fans want him gone so bad.

    Why does it seem like there's so little Syndergaard talk anyway?

    today on mully and hanley, while making fun of him for his comments yesterday, mully said he should get cheered here when he comes to town. like none of this nasty rapey stuff was happening.

    yeah, jonah keri RT'd it saying it was a fun read so i actually clicked on a rogers link. i just finished and am not sure why i bothered.

    the local broadcasting revenue is what will make or break the Cubs from a financial standpoint. they want to show their current partners and potential future partners how high their ratings can be. i mean, how much is one game going to make an impact in those negotiations for whatever they do in the future? as for right now, they make out the same either way with their current deal (maybe a little more ad revenue depending on how the WGN or ABC deals wound up being structured - I don't recall the details but I remember things being open ended based on how they actually did). then again, you can say the same for how real of an impact the ticket sale difference would make anyway. i just want my horsefeathering opening day day drinking back.

    Is it basically just an ESPN asks so we have to give in sort of thing? Our home opener wasn't on ESPN this year, this is a CSN/WGN/whatever decision makes sense i guess...I just didn't realize the local broadcast peons had any say in game scheduling.

    I don't really get it. Unless they have to allot their night games a certain way by month or whatever, opening day is a sure sell out at their highest price tier. Why not use that to knock out a usually poor selling weekday April game (not that the night games that early fill up spectacularly but I think they do better than a midweek day game).
