Yea, very pleased with Conforto and now that people are actually hitting there is very little pressure for on him.
while I doubt we resign him, if we can get to october and make some noise, they may see an immediate return on the investment as you can bet ratings and revenues have gone up and should continue into next year.
I say 6/130. And there's almost no way he's a Met next year. Unless he resigns with the Mets before he talks to any other team, then the Mets can't negotiate with him, due to a weird clause in his contract. That means his agent would have to decide it would be a good idea not to hear what any of the other 29 teams have to say, and I can't see that happening.
Really like him. If he can work as the 7th inning guy, that would be enormous.
And for that reason, I think the Mets would need to offer him something more like 6/150. Agree that it is unlikely to happen.
No way do you change anything now!
Not quite sure. Doc apt on Monday to hopefully get this tube removed from my gut and maybe work Tues or Wed? Limited schedule.
hang in there
When Gary announced that last night, and then went on to describe two other guys who were knocked out of their game, it gave me flashbacks to our guys earlier in the season.
Not that it matters much with 6.5 games separating the teams and the Mets playing this well, but the real impact will be known in an hour or two when we find out of Taylor (one of the other two injured guys last night) will be back today or some time soon. If both he and Span are out the Nats lose their two best defensive OFs and would be so thin that your old friend Matt denDekker would probably get regular time for the rest of the season. They'll take a loss on offense too, so a downgrade on both sides. Basically they'll be dead in the water. If Taylor is OK they can bear the loss- although again I don't know how much it will matter to you all beyond your relative stress levels over the next month.
Might be enough to put it out of reach for good. The Nats do have their big three going this weekend at home against the Marlins, but then we go to St Louis next week. That one could get ugly if we still don't have Taylor.
I think for the most part (and especially the fans in this thread) everyone is very appreciative of this team because we've all been through the horrific past few years. As for the Nats, I don't expect them to go away in the future. Replacing Desmond with Turner might be an upgrade, Ross should be able to fill a rotation spot, and I'm not sure if Giolito will be ready next year, but if he's not, Roark can certainly start and not embarrass himself. I think the biggest key for the Nats will be replacing Williams with a sentient being. I live in DC so I'd say I've seen about half of the Nats games, and MW just makes a steady stream of low-level, dumb decisions. Not to mention he seems to like to antagonize Harper.
Where did you check for tix?NYCelt said:
Terry is taking to long view, which is appropriate imo (albeit scary considering, well, Mets). My guess is he wants to try and get the guy confidence so he can play that essential role. Put him in a couple times when it's not score sensitive.
Yea.
