The Brewers are so lucky they aren’t running into a healthy Mets team. We don’t have a dna like the Braves. You know where teams never come up in big spots.
@MetsFan22 Now it all makes sense now….”we don’t have a dna like the Braves.”
Using the phrase “a dna,” makes it seem that you may be lacking a few important chromosomes(or a few too many problematic pairs). This is supported by your comment history.
You totally forgot to mention using a phrase like “the red soxs.” I think he’s just a kid. Not too young but probably still in early highschool. We should probably tolerate him a lot little more and remember how we were back then. Who am I to say that though. I literally made my screen name just to troll him. I don’t like trolling but I love trolling trolls if that makes any sense. You gotta fight fire with fire. They act that way because it’s the only way they know how to learn. Notice he stopped calculating mWAR and trying to rub it in everyone’s face like it actually meant something once I came around.
Wait… So why not “play ball more seriously” and “be in the same convo as Juan Soto just as a pitcher” like you claim? You got something better to do than make hundreds of millions of dollars playing baseball? I find that hard to believe since you spend so much time posting nonsense on the internet. That’s more important to you than being the “Juan Soto” of pitching?
Good stuff. I tried to play baseball until I was 41 in an adult league of mostly high school and college players. I held my own but I would not be in the same conversation as a single major league player, that’s for sure. I had teammates who played as high as AAA so I got a taste for how talented you have to be to be a professional baseball player. My nephew is that talented. He was drafted and has had two TJ surgeries and will try to be back next year. We threw together when he was in high school so I got a taste. Low to mid 90’s with heavy sink. I think he could make it as a 7th inning guy. It is absolutely a crap shoot. I had teammates who were never drafted but could flat out play. One of them played independent and was an All-Star but didn’t get noticed. Tremendous athlete, wound up being an alternate on the Olympic 4 man bobsled team. Recently, I’ve been around some real high quality high school players who chose college and are doing well. One is absolutely tearing it up. It will be interesting to see what happens with them in the near future. Honestly, I don’t think very many of us appreciate how good some of these guys are.
I didn’t miss your point. In highschool I played against guys like Jeff Francoeur, Brian McCann and Blaine Boyer. When you are good enough to actually become a major league player at that age, everyone knows it. People write articles about you. Scouts and coaches won’t leave you alone. Even then, it’s super hard. Look at Francoeur. People thought he was going to be the next MLB superstar with all that power, his glove and his incredible arm. He was about as “can’t miss” as you can get. The game still humbled him and turned his pro-career into a disappointment. I’m sure MF22 was just joking but pretty much any time someone tells you they could have been a major leaguer they have absolutely no idea what they are talking about. Just look at all the #1 overall draft picks who couldn’t make it. Some random guy that hasn’t played in years definitely wouldn’t have cut it even if he tried.
Pretty much, @mWAR.
Sounds like you played against better dudes than I ever did.
After JUCO, I tried to walk-on at a Big 10 school (which at that point I chose for academic reasons). In football, I hit up a couple coaches. They didn’t even let me try! It was; “sounds like you had a nice career…go Gophers!
In baseball, my “accomplishment” was making it past the first round of cuts. That was it.
Georgia is a hotbed of talent, that’s for sure. That’s where my nephew cut his teeth. New Jersey is not too bad, either. Georgia Tech has a couple of guys from my area in NJ who are pretty good. It’s a long journey and there are no guarantees, that’s for sure.
I thought Mets would of done way better also. Just because baseball is weird like that. Team full of gold Glover’s, Cy Young’s, and.other paper accolades. Unmentioned often is they did have a past his prime guy manning center who once managed to to finish 22nd in mvp voting while posting a .8 war.
I remember thinking ‘the Giants should definitely beat the 75 win projection’ but I was thinking like 82-84 games not 107 lol. Guess it goes to show how much projections after a 60 game season mean
Off topic. Why is Angel Hernandez umping in the postseason? He and CB Buckner should look for another line of work. Thank goodness the third loser-ump is retiring, Joe West.
i dunno. loads of names on the AL side. I’d throw my votes behind Garcia locking down a rotation spot on a playoff team all year and then doing so well he earned an early postseason start, but maybe my vindication for correctly guessing he was a sleeper prospect is clouding *my* judgement.
The Brewers are so lucky they aren’t running into a healthy Mets team. We don’t have a dna like the Braves. You know where teams never come up in big spots.
The Mets got injured and lost on purpose because it wasn’t fair to the rest of the league.
If you google the definition of the word “cope” it just redirects you to all of MetsFan22’s posts.
Are you coping to losing to the redsoxs?
“redsoxs”.
You are simply amazing, man.
Ok.
Mets DNA: don’t make the playoffs in the first place, so they don’t have to come up big ever.

Yeah. I’m pretty sure he’s just a kid too. Certainly hope so. (Does beg the question why he’s not – ya know – *playing* ball.)
I’ve defended him more than once.
He has a lot of the qualities I look for in my hunting dogs! So I have to sorta like him.
But during one of his particularly ill spirited rants, he posted that he has “a iq of over 140 [sic]”. So…when I read “redsoxs”….
Trust me. If I played ball more seriously I’d be in the same convo as Soto but just as a pitcher.
I threw gas
Well good.
Glad to hear that you play ball.

I really want mlbtr to mess with us on April fools by saying you got hired as a writer. I’m a fan
That was would be so funny lol. Everyone would be so disappointed
Dude are you drunk?

What a strange year 2021 was/is
Eduardo Escobar is hitting 3rd today in the playoffs and Yelich 5th
why do mlbtr chat guys always pick the dumbest angels questions?
What if those are actually the best Angels questions and Angels fans are just disproportionally dumb?
that’s a distinct possibility but logically impossible.

Joe West is actually a good umpire. Statistically speaking. I enjoy him simply because of the icon he is.

Am I just totally biased on Ryan mountcastle leading the roy race? Feel like he’s never even mentioned when people talk about it.
