My understanding is it was something along the lines of him wanting to be more involved and be a regular paid employee of Cinemassacre and they didn't want to do that so they part ways and he wanted to focus more on his music, but still be a part of the website? There may have been a bit of a falling out involved at least between Mike and Bootsy, though I think those are just rumors?

heres something pretty jarring i read lately:

The '96 Yankees had 13 players w/ 2+ bWAR. Pettite, Mo, Bernie & Jeter were the only farm hands. They totaled 17.9 bWAR.

The '18 Mets had 7 players w/ 2+ bWAR, all farm hands: Jake, Noah, Zack, Lugo, Nimmo, Conforto, McNeil. They totaled 29.4 bWAR. That same Mets squad in 2019 ADDED Pete Alonso, a full season of McNeil, and the now-productive Dom Smith... and yet they're still a 3rd place team under .500

That is criminally awful team building

So the 2018 mets had a stronger core of younger players contributing more value to their team than the 1996 yankees, all of those young players not being paid a ton (except deGrom). They just bombed offseason additions so hard as they always do, as you do when you don't spend or trade wisely.

When you have that much young cheap talent, not being able to produce a contender, let alone a team with a winning record, is truly embarrassing

i just feel like its not talked about or reported enough, to ge shit to happen. like i bet a ton of people who matter in this kind of thing think the issue is much less worse off than it actually is.

Jeff wilpon is 100% that toxic machismo mentality guy, and the fact your OWNER is like that permeates it throughout the club.
This is the kind of shit that makes me say wilpon is by far the worst owner in sports, It goes far beyond just being cheap , stupid, incompetent, ego-driven, etc
His actions are explicitly harmful to his players, and are legitimately career-threatening. I will never be shocked when this happens because it happens all the time, but I will always be shocked it's ALLOWED to happen with not just no repercussion, but no responsibility or little media reaction

I am just truly appalled that the MLBPA knows about all this horrible injury misnamangement (I assume they know), that they put guys on the DL long after they need to be, and are activated way too soon, with serious consequence, and they don't do anything about it.

Also I was wrong on the time frame on Nimmo, btw. He was playing with a Bulging Disc in his neck (which he sustained when he crashed into the wall and continued to play) for LITERALLY SIX WEEKS. but that's the ailment he went on the DL with, and it was clearly affecting his play.

https://www.amazinavenue.com/2018/6/18/17469102/yoenis-cespedes-mets-blaming-athletes-for-being-hurt-sandy-alderson-jeff-wilpon-lebron-james

Baseball, like most sports, has an affinity for toxic masculinity that manifests itself most often in players playing through injuries. But that often comes with a cost. For example, Pedro Martinez in 2005.

Martinez alleges in his book Pedro that Jeff Wilpon forced him to pitch injured in a meaningless September game to sell tickets for a match-up against the Florida Marlins Dontrelle Willis (Wilpon flatly denied this). After having to wait to get surgery, his recovery time was shortened and, after breaking down the next year, he was never the same Pedro.

While that story may or may not be true, his quote to The New York Times also illustrates this culture: I was paid to pitch, so I went and did that, he said. I did it whenever you asked me, whenever I could. I wanted to do it for as long as I could, and that was my limit.

Pedros contract? It was for four years, just like Cespedess.

Would Alderson, manager Mickey Callaway, and the Wilpons prefer to have what would probably be a mirror of Jay Brucea clearly hurt player just grinding through it in left field instead of that player trying to get right? Apparently so.

This displeasure with Cespedes has also extended to the media, who just simply cant believe that a player would have the audacity to not speak with them. And when the media is displeased, it often gets reflected in its coverage, leading to fans being upset with Cespedes not being back either, as if he is purposefully remaining injured.

https://www.vice.com/en_us/article/53vaqb/jeff-wilpon-is-a-piece-of-shit-according-to-lawsuit

Just when it seemed like the New York Mets co-owners couldn't get any more detestable, the Wilpons have, according to an astounding legal document, managed to outdo themselves. Former Senior Vice President for Ticket Sales and Services Leigh Castergine is suing Jeffrey Wilpon and Sterling Mets Front Office, LLC for wrongful termination. The complaint alleges that Wilpon repeatedly chastised and humiliated Castergine for being an unmarried pregnant woman and ultimately fired her for having a baby out of wedlock.

so yeah shouldnt be surprising he's got a toxic masculinity mindset when it comes to this stuff

plenty of examples

https://www.si.com/mlb/2015/05/05/pedro-martinez-book-jeff-wilpon-forced-pitch-injured

Martinez writes that his toe was hurt and that manager Willie Randolph had told him he was done for the season. But, he said, Wilpon, now the Mets' chief operating officer, wanted to sell tickets for a matchup against the star Marlins left-hander Dontrelle Willis. Martinez said he protested the order and offered to give back the rest of his contract.

"While I'm the boss here, you're going to have to do what I say," Wilpon said, according to Martinez, who gave in and pitched. He lost the game, which drew 25,093 fans, and said the injury prolonged the toe problem. Other parts of his body broke down the next season, and Martinez was inactive for the Mets' run to Game 7 of the 2006 National League Championship Series.

https://www.espn.com/mlb/story/_/id/19404194/new-york-mets-injury-issues-go-far-disabled-list

Multiple people familiar with the Mets' operation -- most of whom spoke on the condition of anonymity -- say the team has a less-than-optimal command structure that allows routine problems to fester until they become major conflagrations. Too often, the Mets' approach leads to communication breakdowns, mixed signals or a lack of trust between the team and its players.

"It's the same old, same old mistakes,'' one industry source said. "The Mets are a successful, profitable organization. But no organization, over a protracted period of time, has more significant players on the disabled list. There's a failing across the board. And what changes have been instituted, if any?''

So who's in charge? Multiple sources said the lack of a single medical point person allows for greater involvement by COO Jeff Wilpon in areas where he's lacking in professional expertise. They describe Wilpon as a micromanager who creates an environment in which the Mets simply whipsaw from one crisis to the next and are too often governed by how their decisions will be publicly perceived.

"Jeff gets in the middle of everything that's going on, and he ends up doing more damage,'' said a person who has been involved in the Mets' internal operation. "He meddles. I can't come up with a more appropriate term.''

Like 6 years ago, they hired this Barwis gym to do strength and conditioning and he's like a full-on Football bodybuilder, muscles only kind of guy. It's not routines that are necessarily the right set for baseball where its about more than just bodybuilding

For Nimmo, they probably realize he is at least Nimmo is a good player who they want in their lineup, so they're trying to get him in the lineup as much as they can. They have plenty to gain by having Nimmo in the lineup because they see him as a good player (he is... despite his struggles this year, which by the way are likely related to his neck, to some degree). They just don't care that they cause him risk of significant injury by continuing to have him play after he sustains an potentially serious neck injury. The thought process probably went like "eh, yeah he hurt his neck but it's probably not that bad, despite what the doctors say. He can tough it out, hes a tough kid. He needs to break out of his slump, keep playing him"

GeneralKenobi85 posted...

Ah I did not know that about him. I mean I know how much control he has of course I just didn't know about his bizarre opinion on injuries.

Yeah it's pretty known they have that organizational philosophy. I was trying to find an article where it's mentioned but it's hard because it's never the focal point of the article, it's always thrown in there, but yes, they definitely run with a very toxic mentality as it relates to "toughing it out"

~Wigs~ 3-Time Consecutive Fantasy B8 Baseball Champion
2015 NATIONAL LEAGUE CHAMPION NEW YORK METS

so, Yes. It is Jeff making these decisions. He is the one endangering the health of these players. Even if you think its not him (and you would be very very wrong) than that means every single GM and trainer the mets have ever had are making these decisions, and theres been a number of them and this keeps happening anyway and I dont see as often as I should about anyone suffering any consequences or any national media articles calling ANYONE out for this terrible injury mismanagement. Articles I guess are written maybe, but no one is called out or taking any responsibility for this issue happening.

Whoever the issue lies with (and its Jeff), why is no one ever givne ANY responsibility for this? If this were the GM's issue for bringing a player back too soon, don't you think they'd have to take the brunt of that issue? How come that doesn't happen then?

It's because everyone knows its the owner, and they won't take the responsibility for this happening over and over, because they don't have to take any, as owners. Or if they did, they'd risk losing the team.

but is Jeff Wilpon literally standing in the shadows with dollar signs in his eyes telling them to send Nimmo back out there anyway?

Yes. He is the GM. he makes all the decisions. In the case of someone like Nimmo, no its not necessarily ticket-driven (although Nimmo is a fan favorite, so maybe) but the fact they have a "machismo" organizational philosophy. This has been reported. He thinks all these players should be able to play depsite their injury "just rub some dirt on it". The reasoning why he does this doesn't reallymatter.

First you need to accept, yes, this is 100% his doing. This has happened through every staff change imaginable and it still happens. He has players come back as soon as he thinks they are able to. He's not a medical expert yet hes still making these decisions. He wants them in the lineup for his own reasons, be they good-intentioned or not, it doesn't matter.

These players get hurt, they do NOT go on the DL immediately, its always called "minor" and they play through it. I don't know if they don't get the proper medical attention or they make up lies to the media, or what but this is a CONSTANT. And the player will play a couple games or less and get hurt worse. And they go on the DL and get activated before they are fully recovered.

All the Whys don't really matter. It can make the situation worse I guess, but no reason is a good reason. The fact is, it has been happening forever and there is only one constant and all the puzzle pieces fit.

The Mets forced Pedro to pitch hurt, effectively ending his career. They forbid Beltran from getting surgery that saved his career. They let Noah decline an MRI, leading him to miss half a season. They rushed Cano and Cespedes back. Rushing Cespedes back likely led to the end of his career. They rushed Nimmo back from "neck soreness" and now he appears to have a significant career-threatening issue.

Of all the stupidity, incompetence, and greed that the Mets are capable of, of all the "rub some dirt on it" false machismo that they try to exude, are even they so bad as to put a player's career in jeopardy again by trying to rush him back before he sees specialists? (yes)

Mets 2019 injury rushing back too soon issues

Nimmo - neck stiffness on April 16, continues to play then finally hits IL. Scratched from rehab, shutdown for month

Lowrie - knee soreness on Feb 20, starts rehab only to be shutdown on May 11, not close to return

Justin Wilson - hit IL, returns, IL again

Cano - Hits IL with quad strain, comes back with rehab stint. Misses three game with same injury. Goes back to IL with same injury.

fired Ray Ramirez. Issues still happening.

fired Terry Collins. Still happening.

fired Sandy Alderson. Still happening.

Jeff Wilpon still here: Issues still happening. He is the one constant.


This is completely unethical. How has the MLBPA literally done nothing about this for so long? This shit happens EVERY. SINGLE. YEAR.

~Wigs~ 3-Time Consecutive Fantasy B8 Baseball Champion
2015 NATIONAL LEAGUE CHAMPION NEW YORK METS

Like, I just want to make sure I stress enough that this is not an exaggeration. They do this with nearly every single player. They always either rush them back too early or force them to play through injury. They bring them off the DL while they are still hurt. I am guaranteeing you this is a Wilpon thing, because it fits their MO of being $ driven, and they've been doing it through at least 6 different GMs , or however many they've had since they took over. They are the issue.

And it has varying degrees of how bad it is. From getting lucky that nothing comes ofit, to cases like teh Cano thing where they go right back on the DL the day of being activated, to cases like Cespedes where it literally affects his career because they knew about it months prior and ACTIVATED HIM ANYWAY ON THE DAY HE SAYS HE NEEDS SURGERY AND THEN WENT BACK ON THE DL THE NEXT DAY, to literally forcing Pedro Martinez to pitch when fully injured at the end of a meaningless season just for box profits.

This is a fucking pandemic, no exaggeration. They had Nimmo sit for like 3 days and brought him back without a DL stint because it was "just some neck soreness".

Please just understand how bad this, how often the Wilpons do this, how much this is squarely 100% their fault, how this has NOTHING to do with bad luck, this is the cause of them ALWAYS ALWAYS ALWAYS ALWAYS downplaying injures so they cna bring them back before they are ready to, and of course they get re-hurt, and often as a result hurt way worse.... Please understand so I don't have to keep repeating it.

Nimmo has been shut down for another month. No baseball activities for 30 days.

It really fucking sucks the wilpons persistence to force players to play through injuries might cost nimmo his entire career. Not like this is the firts time this has happened. It's a recurring theme. This happens all the time. They called this "just neck soreness" when it first happened. They intentionally downplay everything in order so it doesn't look bad when they bring back guys sooner than expected.

THEY LITERALLY DID THIS WITH CANO A WEEK AGO? REMEMBER? when he was on the DL and they said he'll miss the minimum and came back and played 3 innings AND WENT RIGHT BACK ON THE DL

Last year, after Cespedes already missed 2 months, he said "I need surgery on my calcified heels, it has 8 month recovery time". They activated him from the DL the next day. He re-tore something. He went back on the DL the next day. They knew he needed surgery when he went on the DL 2 months prior.

This is only the high level shit. This shit happens all the motherfucking time. Syndergaard- you saw he had a hammy strain. It looked bad. They said "its minor he'll just miss one start". Vargas appeared to have a back issue. You saw it. You were watching. It didnt look great. "Just a cramp, will make his next start"

THEY DO THIS SHIT. ALL. THE. FUCKING. TIME.AND. NO. ONE. DOES> ANYTHING. ABOUT IT.

They are LITERALLY FUCKING ENDANGERING THE HEALTH AND CAREER OF EVERY SINGLE FUCKING ONE OF THEIR PLAYERS

THIS HAPPENS TO LITERALLY LIKE FIVE GUYS A YEAR

2015 NATIONAL LEAGUE CHAMPION NEW YORK METS

BTW, my jersey purchasing luck is absolutely horrendous. I really need to stop. I'd say these injuries are all my fault, except it's really the Wilpons being incompetent scum for forcing players to play through injury for personal profit...

But, whenever I buy a Mets player jersey (which I wasn't really into until more recently, I was always more of a shirsey guy), they suffer a significant, devastating and/or career-altering injury within MONTHS of me buying the jersey, and in some cases weeks or DAYS.

Harvey's in 2013 right around the All-Star game (he had a torn UCL a month later, and got Tommy John)

I had an old Wright one forever, but it was getting small so I got a new one before 2015 season (spinal stenosis ending his career like 2 months later)

Syndergaard near the end of the 2015 season (early in 2016 he tore his lat and was out the whole year)

Cespedes after they re-signed him the first time in 2016 (he was fine that year, but then was out for most of 2017, and almost all of 2018 when they mishandled his Calcified Heel surgery... similar situation as Nimmo. they know he had it and needed surgery, but they activated him anyway vs the Yankees in particular (to draw ratings) and played one game and went on the DL and he's been there since. Plus the whole stepping into a hole thing).

Michael Conforto one of those cool little league weekend Nickname jerseys right before that weekend happened in 2017 (literally 3 days later he tore his shoulder capsule swinging and missing at a pitch)

Brandon Nimmo the start of 2019 (then his neck issues, as I already mentioned, again, being forced to play through injury that they supposedly misdiagnosed).

yes? literally anyone can get hurt swinging. so why have anyone bat? if he didnt get hurt batting he'd just get hurt throwing a pitch next inning anyway, it makes literally no difference. theres plenty of dumb reasons to not want pitchers batting but because they can get hurt while batting is the dumbest, its selection bias. "judge got hurt swinging, so he shouldnt be allowed to bat either." dont be dense.

anyway , yeah vargas got hurt. mets are now down 2 pitchers on back to back days and have literally no replacements for either of them. its almost like having literally 0 backup starters and also skimping on the bullpen is a bad idea. Sell The Team.

The beat still determines when enemies move; the whole game is based around knowing where enemies will be while giving you a limited amount of time to react.

yeah but that was always a tactic you could use in the original if you needed to either think for a sec, or let an enemy move into a more advantageous position, with the drawback being you lose your multiplier which would affect coin drops and obsidian weapons

Snrkiko posted...

moving to the beat gets you more money/diamonds is what the tutorial said

in this game sure there may be a multiplier for rupees/diamonds, but its not made apparent what the multiplier is, and there's also no timer so losing your multiplier doesn't seem like a big deal at all in this game, whereas it could be a sort of bad detriment in Necrodancer.

Wins certainly don't come easy for them. It's unfortunate how much trouble Diaz has been having. It was too much to expect him to be as great as he was last year, but still he was expected to be one of the better closers this year. Looks like it was indeed a pretty awful trade.

Most closers dont have back to back great years. Even with a very good diaz, they were still ultra-shallow in the pen and didn't address it. That trade is bad but not awful if they add a bunch of other solid closers. they didn't and they had a chance until as late as last week to do so. it is very clear there is no priority to win, and that exact trade is proof of that.

Wigs thinks the Rangers are 11 wins better than they were last season lmao

Pretty sure that's at least 12 wins too many

:thinking:

I have no fucking idea dude

The team lost Beltre (Admittedly, he was old). They lost almost all of their pitching rotation (Minor was the #4 guy last year for a reason). Profar (Who could've easily been the #2 guy on the team after Elvis if the team bothered finding a role for him) was traded. The only positive I can see is that this team made is that all of the young guys had another year under their belts. There is literally no reason to think this patched together nonsense would make a team even one win better than last year's dumpster fire, let alone be one that looks statistically decent.

And the Rangers are still having their perrenial closer issues too <_<

i more had them higher because there's a lot of bad and mediocre teams in the AL that the rangers would get to see a lot. I figured a lot of it would be a mediocre-fest. I think I also was short too many wins when I did everyones numbers so I had to add a bunch somewhere and I think a number of those went to the rangers lol
