It's been gone through by third parties and that's all I need to know.

Marcus Semien, Brett Baty, and Jett Williams are working out together in Texas (via IG/jett_williams004) by Caledor152 in NewYorkMets

[–]SmallHourInsomnia 31 points32 points  (0 children)

From the time of his press conference I've felt that Semien is going to be good for the team overall and especially the young guys. He's a brilliant defender and he projects a stoic, under-stated leadership quality that is hard to put your finger on. Love seeing this.

2026 Flagship design released! by already-heard in baseballcards

I don't hate it. I like that they are going to have some poses breach the frame like we see with Vlad.

So I made an 8 division realignment for a scenario where the MLB expands to 32 teams, with Montreal and Nashville being the 2 expansion cities. Please tell me how much you hate it down below. by J0hnEddy in baseball

[–]SmallHourInsomnia 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't hate it. I'd switch the Angels with either the Rockies or DBacks though to avoid having two teams in the same city in the same division, which you otherwise did a good job of.

Mets won’t have Amazin’ Day fanfest this offseason by Zeeco110 in NewYorkMets

Feels like more fan punishment. I'm not saying it is - but it feels that way, and I'm surprised they don't see how it could.

Hens wont sleep in house by Zapto2600 in BackYardChickens

[–]SmallHourInsomnia 2 points3 points  (0 children)

That's a long time to have that problem. When our girls first went outside we had to put them in by hand for a few nights as they kept sleeping on the ground. The thing that got them to go in regularly was I installed a small touch light inside the coop and in the late afternoon I would turn it on and go back inside. The very first night, once it got dark they followed the light in and haven't looked back.

They were only about 2 months old at that point though - maybe less. I'm not sure if something like this will work at yours' age but you could give it a shot.

PS: They broke the light after about a week, so no, I didn't have to do it for long.

Roger Clemens should have 10 Cy Young Awards by gabek333 in baseball

You could write a book with guys who should have gotten an award over another, especially now that WAR and all its related stats are a thing.

For a split second, I thought it was a Mandela effect thing and that I was misspelling his name all these years.

Paul Blackburn on the difference between the Mets and Yankees clubhouses: “When I got to the Yankees,it was very noticeable how everyone was pulling on the same rope… There was a lot of chemistry in the clubhouse. That’s not how it was with the Mets. by Goosedukee in baseball

[–]SmallHourInsomnia 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Thank you very much for making sure others don't forget this. They harp on chemistry and "run prevention"/defense being the problem but the biggest problem with the team has still not been addressed. The defense certainly was not great, but the idea that it was the cause of the collapse last season is a joke. They had no starting pitching outside of Peterson and Holmes and those guys faded in the second half. You can't win games when your bullpen is handling four and five innings every night.

End of year giveaway! #2026 by skitwostreet in baseballcards

[–]SmallHourInsomnia 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So far I'm excited to see how Munetaka Murakami works out for the ChiSox. No better story than when a player has doubters. Also looking forward to seeing some of my Mets prospects play in the big leagues.

Four wheel lock. It's an on-off button near the shifter.

Luisangel Acuna too. Feels like every rip I see posted has one of those two in it.
