OT: MLB Thread 2024

[TominNC]

As with younger Rangers fans, younger Mets fans have that same feeling that the other shoe is about to drop. I can remember when miracles and amazing finishes were a Mets thing. 1969, 1973, 1986 - Game 6 in the NLCS AND Game 6 in the WS

Oh wow, that wasn't a fever dream.

(I was literally feverish from a covid shot last night)

Not gonna lie. Had trouble sleeping because of the adrenaline.

I'm not a Mets fan, but that was exciting. My Dad always cheered for the yanks and the Mets, giants and the jets and it used to annoy me. But now that I'm older I kind of get it. However I will never wish anything but ill will to the fish sticks or that Mickey mouse team over here..

I could never root for “both” teams. I’m a one team guy in all sports

Jomboy breakdown on Williams tipping his pitches

Jomboy breakdown on Williams tipping his pitches

Jomboy and tipping pitches are both very overrated. Execution is where it's at in all sports. Teams knew Lombardi was going to run the ball every play, but they still couldn't stop it. NE and OK ran the ball every play in the 70s, but teams still couldn't stop them. Teams knew Wooden's UCLA teams were gonna get the ball to Kareem and Walton, but they still couldn't stop them.

If you execute well, hitters will have trouble. Some pitches are unhittable. Mariano has the highest ERA+ ever and he used one pitch.

That’s great and all but if I have a choice between knowing what’s coming or not knowing what’s coming, I’m taking the former every single time.

Depth of hand in glove seems like something the center field camera could pick up but not the batter.

Senga starting Game 1? Wild stuff.
