@BeavsOfSoCal@DouglasTS The 75% is just to pool media rights and is not mandated as part of the act. It only goes into effect if 104 schools are willing to do it.
@SleeperMets How does scratching them make any sense? They knew there was a lefty pitching when they put the lineup out in the first place why wouldn’t they just include the righties then
@TwoWayDav@flasportsbuzz What are those alternatives? We just spent 5 years not being competitive we aren’t gonna blow it up again just bc OKC and SA are scary now
@Masterflip_ The best batter (Soto) should hit second because he’ll have more opportunities to hit with the leadoff batter on base than the leadoff batter will have with the 8 or 9 hitters. The 3 hitter wouldn’t be a platoon if everyone was healthy.
@ACShelby1@ernestdove He was a Rule 5 guy with nowhere to really play in the majors. He wouldn’t have played ahead of guys like Nimmo, Marte, Canha, Bader who were all here while he was a Met. He also hit above an .800 ops only 1 season in the Mets system and it was 2021 in AA.
@ernestdove I think the fact that we’re worrying about top 100 caliber guys like AJ Ewing compared to Jake Mangum’s is already a testament to how much better the org is compared to 5-10 years ago. You can provide players with everything they need but they still have to put it all together.
