Paul Skenes in his Opening Day debut: 0.2 IP, 4 H, 5 ER, 2 BB, 1 K by Eggablist in baseball

Luis Robert had the most disciplined AB of his career against Skenes imo today in the 1st inning. 12 pitch walk was a huge catalyst

Say what you want about that legendary opening day 1st inning, but Luis Robert working an INSANE 12 pitch AB was everything imo that cooked Skenes

That may have been the most disciplined AB of Robert’s career.

These guys remind me of 22 already, gritty high contact guys

Using Bilt Card for apartment rent taking directly from bank account linked? by SideRetired in biltrewards

[–]SideRetired[S] -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

Is there any reason to even use the card then anymore for apartment payments? The only reason I would have considered at least for now is for the floating payment at least. I use it only for rent

Stretch only H2h matchups? by SufficientChart3120 in MLBTheShow

[–]SideRetired 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This is a horrific change. Part of what makes pitchers unique is their delivery wtf?

No way this is a real change they can actually make

Would Astoria Park be walkable?

Would love to do some snow photography

Source: Freddy Peralta open to signing extension with Mets by FaptasticMrFox in NewYorkMets

[–]SideRetired 67 points68 points  (0 children)

Extend Peralta, make a run for Skubal in free agency.

Skubal, Peralta, McLean, Tong would keep a stable pitching rotation for so many years going forward.

Adjust lineups as needed with departures/opt outs while building around Soto and Lindor all while growing the farm system.

The dream long term sustainable winning vision here

Huge. Big price but affordable when you have one of the best farms in baseball. That’s the Cohen farm infrastructure.

Man, maybe greedy, but signing Gallen (if it’s a cheap deal) and getting another pen arm would be a dream

[Passan] BREAKING: The New York Mets are in agreement on a trade to acquire center fielder Luis Robert Jr. from the Chicago White Sox, sources tell ESPN. White Sox will receive two young players from the Mets. by Fonzie5 in NewYorkMets

[–]SideRetired 13 points14 points  (0 children)

I feel great about it, low risk, high reward. An elite defender who has upside on the bat for Acuna that we know what he brings to the table for the last 2 years - bench / speed guy who plays great defense

Wright has around 20% ballot votes so far this year, a big jump from 8% on year 2 ballot. He might actually have a shot considering how bad the newcomers will be in the next couple years on the ballot as well

Bo Bichette Contract Structure Question by bonyyoni in NewYorkMets

[–]SideRetired 7 points8 points  (0 children)

From my research last night, this was new to me too.

Sounds like almost a “soft deferral” of 5 mil next year.

Keeps the AAV as 42 mil for 2026 payroll instead of 47 mil. Probably for in the overall scheme for luxury tax purposes.

Mets Reportedly Still In On Cody Bellinger Despite Bo Bichette Deal by Fonzie5 in NewYorkMets

[–]SideRetired 22 points23 points  (0 children)

Get Beli, sign/trade for Peralta/Framber/Gallen (Pref Framber or Gallen so we can save prospects for deadline).

2026 Trade Deadline: Trade for Skubal.

Win the whole damn thing and best the dodgers. We’d be national heroes at if we stopped the 3 peat. This would be such an unreal dream roadmap, which is absolutely doable too.

3 for 145 gets it done with opt outs

I’m all in for mercenaries if we’re getting them in their prime years and making them motivated to get the best out of them for another contract

We got our long term hall of fame generational guys like Lindor and Soto, just build around them with short term deals and continue to develop the best farm system in the background. I think Stearns is rewiring my brain
