I think the reality is that no one gives a crap about long games if there's poo poo happening, people care about it when a game ends 3-2 or 4-3 and it took over 3 hours to do it.

Barry Bonds comes up one steal short of The Triple Three in 94 to miss going back-to-back with his 95 season, which would have been crazy considering there was a strike. He averaged .304/40HR/31SB from 1990 to 2001 but that's not as impressive I'm sure. New Concept Hole fucked around with this message at 11:10 on Feb 23, 2017 |

Is it just "bad" luck on my part or did Matheny hang starters out to dry incessantly last year? I feel like every game I was witness to last year involved someone pitching 100+ pitches then being pulled 3 batters too late?

Grittybeard posted:It's ridiculous and dumb and in theory I guess he's taking playing time away from some actual prospect. But it's still pretty fun to laugh at, I mean celebrity spring training invites have probably had more business being there in past years. The Mets should field a celebrity team in Spring because minimizing an actual player's exposure to the Mets' training staff is probably for the best
