ShortstopVM Posted December 1, 2019 Share Posted December 1, 2019 Thanks for the new link, Kert! So, I've been away for the past couple of weeks and apparently IDF is getting re-booted? Also, I can't even begin to fathom how much history would be lost if all the old posts indeed, were gone forever... :'( That was my adolescence and even a good chunk of my young adult years. Before the popularity of Twitter and Instagram, this was where us regulars all hung out. In it's heyday, the [original] Baseball Thread was one of the most active threads - heck, it even had more posts than some of the most active threads from AI's recent seasons. :whistling: For the original thread to be gone would be devastating. >.< Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ShortstopVM Posted December 5, 2019 Share Posted December 5, 2019 (edited) There are murmurings that the Wilpons are planning to sell the team. I'll believe it when I see it. /discussion Edited March 21, 2020 by ShortstopVM Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kert Posted December 5, 2019 Author Share Posted December 5, 2019 Astros trade Jake Marisnick to the Mets in exchange for LHP Blake Taylor and OF Kenedy Corona. Marisnick had spent the last six seasons in Houston. https://twitter.com/juliamorales/status/120...8909279232?s=21 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ShortstopVM Posted December 12, 2019 Share Posted December 12, 2019 Mets signed Michael Wacha He's good... But he's not an "Ace"... As far as I'm concerned, we have four Aces and a gap in the rotation every fifth day... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ShortstopVM Posted December 14, 2019 Share Posted December 14, 2019 (edited) Honestly, Rob Manfred. Once again, he's trying to ruin Baseball (even more)… I hope the fans who wished Bud Selig away got what they asked for...

ATX29 Posted December 15, 2019 Share Posted December 15, 2019 (edited) Bumgarner to D-backs 5yr/85m That's a reach imo...Bumgarner's best years are behind him. Still not not terribly expensive tho. Edited December 15, 2019 by ATX29 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ShortstopVM Posted December 16, 2019 Share Posted December 16, 2019 That's a reach imo...Bumgarner's best years are behind him. Still not not terribly expensive tho.

ShortstopVM Posted December 24, 2019 Share Posted December 24, 2019 Mets signed Betances I didn't even flinch. I'd like to see how he performs before I judge this move; for all we know, he could be a bust. :fear: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kert Posted January 13, 2020 Author Share Posted January 13, 2020 BREAKING: Houston Astros GM Jeff Luhnow and manager AJ Hinch have been suspended for one year after an MLB investigation found the team used technology to cheat during its World Series-winning 2017 season, sources familiar with the punishment tell ESPN. Additionally, MLB will fine the Astros $5 million and take away their first- and second-round picks in the 2020 and 2021 drafts, sources tell ESPN. https://twitter.com/jeffpassan/status/12167...4126586883?s=21 Jim Crane just fired Jeff Luhnow and AJ Hinch. https://twitter.com/jeffpassan/status/12168...9805669383?s=21 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ShortstopVM Posted January 14, 2020 Share Posted January 14, 2020 (edited) ^It's sad that it took a cheating scandal for Luhnow to be fired: "Stephanie was sitting in the room." Again, STEPHANIE WAS SITTING IN THE ROOM. If that wasn't blatant disregard for the situation, I don't know what is. THIS is when Luhnow should've been fired.

RWG Posted January 14, 2020 Share Posted January 14, 2020 The Red Sox are going down too. If Luhnow and Hinch both got a year (before getting fired), for basically being in charge of cheaters, Alex Cora should get at least two, for actually doing the cheating, in both organizations.

ATX29 Posted January 14, 2020 Share Posted January 14, 2020 Luhnow was the architect of this Astros team. Hinch managed them perfectly. Big lose for the Stros. I think they're run is over. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kert Posted January 16, 2020 Author Share Posted January 16, 2020 Beltran out as Mets manager Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ShortstopVM Posted January 16, 2020 Share Posted January 16, 2020 (edited) Yeah... I understand why the Mets had to do this... It's ironic that the Beltran hiring was a PR move, and the Mets got more than they bargained for - he was never the right guy for this team... The silver lining though, is that the Mets got a mulligan and we can finally get the right manager for this team (if management takes their heads out of their a$$es). Eduardo Perez is still out there. Heck, I just found out that Hensley Meulens is on our staff, not Miami's. Let's get either one of these guys and get this season started.
