Fantasy Sports, Mets, and Isles. Objective analysis and independent thought are good things.

Peak MSG. I will rewatch this a million times. I missed these goose bumps so much since the Ewing years ended.

@JennSalerno310 We are not. We have been hovering around 500 for a long time since the horrendous start.

But I'll be there Tuesday and keep hoping.

@PrspCntSports I know prospects, and this kid definitely has IT.

@MattDumasFOS @WillSammon Agreed that it's better.

92-93 first 30-40
90-91 40-50
89 in final inning.
And he was efficient and managed 5 innings in only 60.

But he's still not really viable beyond 50 pitches... Which typically means 3 innings.

@DOGE Please keep him away from the Mets too.

[RCG @chez1er]

@Jolly_Olive Also, as has been the case with Manaea recently, he's got velo back, but it falls off after 40-50 pitches. His final inning he was at 89.

@JennSalerno310 Jenn, you're mistaken, Beltre does believe it.

[RCG @chez1er]

@NYNJHarper One more thing. His pull% is way down. Career low 23%. He doesn't have the kind of power to be hitting everything center and oppo, particularly in Citi Field, where only LF is forgiving. And anecdotally I feel like he has hit a lot of well struck outs to semi deep CF/Rf

[RCG @chez1er]

@NYNJHarper All underlying metric are at career norms:
K/bb
FB%
GB%
Hard hit%
Chase%
Swgstrk%
Barrel%
EV

However, LD% is noticably down, and as you say BABIP running almost 100 points below his norm.

Notable however is that in 2024 he was just as bad over 400 PAs. Precedence exists.

Still feel like they win this series with a healthy #33

Let me trace the timeline here because nobody's connecting it.

Step 1: Scrape the entire internet. Every book, every article, every conversation, every piece of art, every forum post. Do it without asking. Do it without paying.

Step 2: Train a model on all of it. Call it "artificial intelligence."

Step 3: Go to BlackRock's Infrastructure Summit and announce: "We see a future where intelligence is a utility, like electricity or water, and people buy it from us on a meter."

Step 3 is where you sell people's own knowledge back to them. On a meter.

They took the collective output of human thought, compressed it into a model, and now they want to charge you by the token to access a version of what you and everyone you know already created.

One Reddit user put it perfectly: "They stole all this data from us, the people, our life's work, creativity, art, by devouring the internet and blowing through all copyright laws. Now they want to sell it back to us in the form of a utility."

Imagine if someone photocopied every book in the public library, burned the library down, and then opened a subscription service for the copies.

That's the metered intelligence business model.

And they're pitching it to infrastructure investors as though they invented water.

@Miss_Met But I'm going to Miami for it...

@Chris_Liss Your personal sexual preferences needn't be shared here.

@Mets Not a single metric in his profile to point to that would suggest he's good. He'll be optioned before they need a SP in Clay's spot.
