Sandy Koufax was also a brief period of greatness. But like really fuckin' great. DeGrom is closer to that than Lincecum or Webb. He was unhittable from 2017 to 2022.
@notgaetti I would rank Jacob DeGrom in the class of pitchers like Tim Lincecum or Brandon Webb. A brief period of greatness, but not enough longevity to have a legitimate Hall of Fame case.
Enjoyed Nimmo as a Met. But his career is mostly behind him and Ewing and Benge have their careers entirely in front of them. That's the natural order of things.
Bichette, we think, will be good. Tough first season in Queens has happened often enough to believe there's precedent for him to figure it out. Palanco? Yikes.
Absolutely none of Stearns' gambles have paid off since 2024, but he hasn't done anything so boneheaded as trade PCA for a half season rental of Javy Baez.

I’m not a believer in “act like you’ve been there before”
I believe in “act like you’ve never been there before”
Sports are intended to be fun and entertaining, Jefry Yan is fun. Bat flips and pimping home runs is fun
It’s a new generation, we should embrace it, not fight it
Jeff McNeil was asked if he expects cheers tonight:
"I hope so. I feel like I've given so much to this organization. I got drafted in 2013, I was here for 12 years, in the big leagues for seven. I hope the fans appreciate that I played hard and enjoyed my time here."
This is important information. A critical part of our rituals which involve smashing a whole brick of 'Ganset on the bus between Forest Hills and Citi and then crushing a tall boy an inning in left field. With that much liquid coming in, you also gotta be moving it out.
We're about to -- once again, and for no rational reason -- watch or listen to 162 games of Mets baseball over six months. Which takes a lot of the sting out of also being Democrats in Texas.
We're happy that a team that always spends money trying to win won the World Series. The Dodgers aren't the problem, derelict ownerships who make money off baseball's revenue sharing despite running dumpster franchises are the problem.
