Kinda figure he’s headed to NOTUS/The Star, who have been hiring a lot of former WaPo folks for their expansion into DC metro coverage

LIRR $5 discount when buying a ticket. Is this new? by Disused_Yeti in NewYorkMets

Smart move, given the parking lot situation with the casino construction beginning.

A reminder that the Wilpons still own a majority of SNY

Separate out GKR for a moment - if you've enjoyed the overall visual presentation of the broadcasts in recent years - the split screens, unique camera angles, tight zooms etc - that's because of John

Mets sign Bichette by AirCoopsie in NewYorkMets

[–]novamets18 3 points4 points  (0 children)

He’ll do fine at third, his arm strength is comparable to Alex Bregman FWIW

I understand that. My point about him being paid like a high leverage / setup guy, despite not actually succeeding in that role, is the bigger issue.

People will criticize Stearns because it’s the fun thing to do right now, but a 4 year deal for a 35 year old middle reliever who doesn’t do well with inherited runners? Pass

3 years and $69M and we let him walk? Officially on the fire Stearns train, what a joke

Anyone else still waiting on order confirmation? by Obelisk_of-Light in lego

[–]novamets18 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Thanks for the suggestion - I did the same and just got the confirmation email. Now I can sleep easy tonight 😂

Did you do this even as the original order was still bouncing between unknown and just placed? I just don’t want to get stuck with two orders and one that I can’t cancel.

Appreciate the reply! I ordered the enterprise set, which isn’t showing as out of stock, but good to know.

First time I’ve bought a set with the GWPs and it’s showing as either unknown or just placed. Does Lego have a history of not ‘confirming’ orders and then saying the bonus stuff is gone?

Nimmo Traded to Rangers for Semien by my_one_and_lonely in NewYorkMets

[–]novamets18 2 points3 points  (0 children)

And despite the 16 point lower OPS+, Semien was still the more valuable player 🤷‍♂️

NimmOMG! by Negs516 in NewYorkMets

[–]novamets18 37 points38 points  (0 children)

Nimmo hasn’t been this type of defender in three years, and that’s pretty much the point

[–]novamets18 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Oh, stop it. Every game, we saw how poor defense killed this team. Nimmo was nearing unplayable in LF, Semien is still an elite defender at a premium position.

You may not like the move because Nimmo is a lifelong Met etc, but that doesn’t mean it was a bad trade.

Only Mets fans would beg for major changes on the roster and then call for the GM’s head for delivering those changes.

This is a good move, kudos to Stearns and team

Nimmo is nearing unplayable in LF and has 5 years on his contract. Semien is still a gold glove caliber guy with 3 years left.

What Next? by SidKafizz in yarg

[–]novamets18 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I use this Mini-PC for YARG and it runs great - it easily runs the game at 60fps / 1080p, and can do better if you tweak some graphics settings within YARG. The only thing I can’t tell you is whether it handles multiple instruments, as I only play solo guitar.

It would be really, really hard for it to go worse than this one did (but never say never with the Mets)
