I don't know if today's game is being televised but I wanted to test the chat software out, regardless. This is what we used last year. Earlier, they told me that it was now a paid service but it let me create the room, if nothing else. So, let's see if it's still available...

Does memory need outside confirmation to be meaningful?
A lot has been made about how injuries to two infielders has made it more likely for Pete Alonso and J.D. Davis to make the club. But it seems that not many people are talking about another direct beneficiary and that’s Juan Lagares. Now, Lagares is sure to be on the Opening Day roster. But [...]
Jason Vargas is a nice representation of everything that troubles me about the way the Mets conduct business. They like to reward old guys from other organizations with limited upside and Vargas checks all three of those boxes. That being said, he’s a perfectly fine fifth starter and if the biggest problem on your team [...]
The Mets made a fair number of moves in this past offseason and we spent a fair amount of time discussing them. And now with Grapefruit League play underway, we get to see these guys in a Mets uniform for the first time. After watching about two-thirds of Saturday’s game against the Braves, this morning’s [...]
Robinson Cano put up a 2.9 fWAR in 80 games last year, which is a terrific number. It’s almost as good as the 2.7 mark Jeff McNeil put up in 63 games. Of course unlike McNeil, Cano has a track record, three times turning in a season of at least 6.0 fWAR, the last one [...]
The Mets have five terrific prospects and it would have been six if they hadn’t dealt Jarred Kelenic in the offseason. In addition to the loss of their 2018 first-round pick, the Mets also shipped out two other guys who would have been in the top 10 – Justin Dunn and Luis Santana – as [...]
It was a good news/bad news type of year for Steven Matz in 2018. The good news is that he was healthy and made a career-high 30 starts. The bad news is that after enjoying good fortune in the first half of the season, Matz didn’t have quite the same luck after the break and [...]
The average fan has a warped view of Scott Boras. They see him as arrogant, even by Sith Lord standards, and somehow think if he wasn’t around that ticket prices would go back to 1970 levels. It doesn’t help that he looks like the relative with obnoxious political views who always corners you at family [...]
One can make the argument that Wilson Ramos was the Mets’ third choice as catcher. There was a couple of tons of virtual ink spilled on the pursuit of J.T. Realmuto and there was also the 4/$60 contract offer to Yasmani Grandal. In a perfect world, you could understand why the Mets operated the way [...]
In the past three years, the expectation of most fans was that Yoenis Cespedes would be the team's best hitter. But with Cespedes likely to miss at least half of the year, who will be the team's best position player seems to be a wide-open race. We're going to measure this by fWAR, which will [...]
