Altchek's Office Alumni: 2017 New York Mets

the mets

happens all the time in the minors, generally when relievers rehab or they're trying to limit someone's innings

I've seen sugggestions that this is one way pitchers will routinely be utilized... IN THE FUTURE

i just am not seeing any gain in having Thor throw in the majors in the final 8 days.

also, re Matheny

all these years i had no idea fluent meant "categorically allergic to" https://t.co/3PR5XwWCda

Nothing I enjoy more more than the home run apple not rising after a home run and the fans relentlessly demanding it (with chants of "we want apple") to be raised. Happened again tonight!

destroy season, Eternal Sunshine-style

Such a bummer about all the injuries, and then selling off most of the veterans in the last two months. Only solace in the end was getting to see extended looks at all the rookies/young guys. Still going to say I am looking forward to 2018 even though I have no idea what deals will be made in the off season.

mets hired tony defrancesco to manage triple-a las vegas

which doesn't mean much of anything except that he's the sort of good guy and minors manager the mets aren't usually able to attract

Among the factors Jeff Wilpon cited in counting David Wright's insurance covered salary as part of the payroll is the cost of the policy, "which is not cheap."

— Mike Puma (@NYPost_Mets) January 23, 2018

Jeff Wilpon said the Mets do not reinvest their David Wright insurance money back into the payroll because they must pay for the policy and for 25% of Wright's contract, and don't want to get caught way over budget in the event that Wright does return.
