My understanding is that the Mets had a $6M agreement with Rocker pending his physical. The Mets did not like something they saw in his elbow. Boras claims that Rocker is "healthy according to independent medical review by multiple prominent baseball orthopedic surgeons," as well as "When...

Olympic athletes, not just from the US, but from all over the world, have been training for this moment for a majority of their lives. I watch the Olympics, and will continue to watch, because this is the pinnacle of most of these athletes lives. Some may go on to professional sports, but most...

From what I read, the US had 2 goals negated due to offsides against the Netherlands late in the game. Had 3 or more of them earlier in the tournament as well, if I recall correctly. Sometimes the offsides calls are obvious. Other times, they're judgement calls. To win a quarterfinal game on...

But no more Panda hugs after HR's... You can't discount how much getting hugged by Pablo with an oversized Panda head meant to the rest of the guys in the clubhouse.

Academically, perhaps Texas Tech and Iowa State? Don't know much about Texas Tech's academics, but Iowa State is an Engineering school. I wouldn't think that WVU would have the academics to be an ACC candidate, but at this point of the conference realignment conversation, who knows...

Well, that depends on who wants to stay at GT or go to another school if we are in the B1G. Part of the allure of playing baseball at GT is getting a great education. The other part is playing high level baseball with an ACC/SEC schedule. Moving to the B1G changes the dynamic of players that...

I just hope we get there. 22-23 in our last 45 games, if I recall the stat correctly. Not exactly tearing it up and putting distance between us and the Braves or Phillies. Although, we haven't lost much of our lead in the division over that span either, so.... I'll take deGrom and Stroman in...

Wow! I tried to think of something else smart to say, but that's all I've got at this point.

Yup, TBD turned out to be Eickhoff, whose best performance for us this year was 4 innings of shutout ball against the Braves earlier this year in what I believe was his first start for us. 3 hits and 3 walks in that one, but no runs. We've DFA'd him 3 times now in less than a month. The first...

Well, you may get your wish that he stays. Heard on the Mets broadcast that he was removed from the game today due to testing positive for COVID. Initial thoughts were injury or trade, but no. Not sure how that may impact his trade value.

I read that the Nats are willing to part with anyone but Soto. Seen rumors that Seattle may be interested in Trea.

And the Austrian cyclist that you note in #2 has a Ph.D. in Mathematics from The University of Cambridge. So, yeah...

Rich Hill is a great addition for my Mets. Haven't heard anything about Merrifield. Bryant, Baez, Story, yes I've heard rumors, but need more pitching. TBD has started way too many games for us lately, and I'm afraid he's going to get worn down...

Arden Pabst playing against Binghamton tonight. 1-3 with a BB, run scored and RBI. Only hitting 0.197 on the season, which looks to be consistent with his average in AA from 2018 and 2019.

Yeah, my thought when the Braves took Waddell and JHM back to back was to try to get a hometown discount to be able to assign other pool money in other places. Could be wrong, but first thoughts.

If so, I'd love to see him pitch in Cincinnati!

I had a habit of listening to Mets minor league affiliate games until COVID cancelled their season last year. Every once and a while, I'd hear a familiar name from Tech playing against the Mets club. Tonight was the first time I listened to a Mets minor league game since at least 2019, maybe...

Bartnicki not getting drafted doesn't surprise me. Was very erratic this year. I believe he has 2 years of eligibility left. Would love to see him back, but don't know what him and his family are thinking. May sign as an undrafted free agent?

I would agree. If a team can't sign a player in the top 10 rounds, they also lose that money from their bonus pool.

So you're saying that young men and women have concern about the long term effects of a vaccine (not yet fully approved by the FDA, but approved for Emergency Use Authorization), but "know COVID is almost never lethal for someone like them" in the short term? What are the long term impacts of...
