#Yankees will obviously miss Aaron Judge. Even #Mets fans like us appreciate the greatness of Judge. But here is a question, is Aaron Judge injury prone?

[Almost Cooperstown @AlmostCoop]

@threeinningfan @PSLToFlushing Good stuff on this podcast. Didn't ask about Carlos Mendoza which may have been intentional since we all know what's not going to happen anyway!

@threeinningfan Probably but not definitely.

Some days the Mets look like a decent baseball team.

There have only been a few since 1990. Even though the Cy Young has been around since the 1950s it used to happen more often. Listen to this short from our podcast this week and thanks for checking us out!

@LETSKNOWMETS It's not as if we aren't massive Knick fans!

This week's episode focused on run differentials. The AL West has five teams that have trouble scoring runs. The #mets despite their troubles have a better run differential than the #phillies yet are several games behind them. Does run differential matter? Check out this short from our episode this week!

With all the noise about Munetaka Murakami, #whitesox Miguel Vargas is having the best season of his MLB career. 144 OPS+!

[Almost Cooperstown @AlmostCoop]

@threeinningfan @jaysonst Excellent and interesting discussion especially with regard to the idea of moving the strike zone a bit. Of course if pitchers really wanted to reduce bases-on-balls they could try throwing more strikes.

Mark had wondered if a salary cap in MLB would be worth considering since less experienced players would gain earlier in their careers with a higher minimum salary. But it gives up too much for the players and they ones that make the big bucks should do a better job of taking care of the entry level and non-star players. A short from our podcast this week. Check out the entire episode!

Our stories of the week in MLB include run differentials which is more exciting than it looks we promise. Check out our latest episode!

Mets are somehow 2nd in walk-off victories (to Mariners) since 2021. It does not appear to mean so much in terms of WS victories.

Watching MCWS where #1 UCLA faces elimination in their regional down two rubs in the bottom of the ninth. Back to back homers tie it up. Good stuff!

@threeinningfan Luis Robert Jr is tuning into Mets Wally Pipp.

Interesting info I've never heard of. We will ask @ByTimBrown about this when we discuss his excellent new book about Nolan Ryan.
