Also re the best pitcher argument really you guys need to delve into the past more. You got your Tom Seavers and Nolan Ryan's and Cy Youngs and Steve Carlton and Gaylord Perry and Walter Johnson etc... Kershaw, Randy Johnson, and Clemens are probably the only very recent ones who touch those kind of guys. Pedro too. Respect your history

Unless I missed it, I'm surprised that Wigs hasn't talked about the new Mets managerial hire.

Oops yeah I've been forgetting to discuss in here vs discord

Great hire. Supposed to be a smart analytical type. Worked really well with the CLE pitchers apparently and the Indians fans all seem to be sad he is leaving so good signs. In his presser he talked a lot about clubhouse morale and caring for the players as human and keeping them happy, etc. He actually kind of went overboard with that sentiment which I'm not sure what to make of. Over the last 3 years we haven't really had much in the way of external problems (except Harvey) until this year after a lot of the vets like Bruce/Walker/Grandy were traded and there were some more issues then. He also mentioned leadership was very valuable to him and wad closely in touch with Wright who even if he isn't playing much still is valued as a clubhouse presence and leader. He will be bringing on a new pitching coach and bench coach probs.
I hope our hitting coaches stick around because they are good but Kevin Long might want to manage and was interviewed by the Nats and a few others I think.

Callaway said he'd be reaching out to every player as first order of business and then he was going to "watch every single Mets game from 2017". May God have mercy on his soul but I admire the dedication. I watched almost every game, I only missed like 6!

Tldr smart move by the mets. No one seems to dislike the hire.

@WiggumFan267 why use spoiler tags at all if you aren't going to use a separate tag for the link and the result. I click the link to load the final battle only to see "wigs 2-1" flash as the link is loading. It made it super anticlimatic when the sandslash got out that to know 100% it would be able to get the job done.

I had no idea spoiler tags even work that way but ok noted

Judge was out btw because he failed to re-touch second base. Except Girardi was smart and had him try to take 2nd before the Astros could appeal that he didn't touch the bag, since Girardi saw the video

A big factor for me, is the age of scalpers. It's over for now. But it used to be tough to get good tickets, and then it became impossible to get *any* tickets. So instead of paying scalpers to watch a midweek game against the then-hapless Royals, why not watch the game from home on my HDTV, or just go out and do something active myself? I think big sellout streaks, of long periods of success that make tickets a premium item, end up causing a gap in your fanbase in terms of their expectations for going to games. Look at the Red Sox sellout streak that went a half season of half empty seats because it was all purchased by scalpers.

Well some teams still sell out right? The appeal is the atmosphere of being surrounded by 55K people you don't know and celebrating with them, high fiving people around you, etc. Being there in person is just a different experience. I think baseball offers the best difference as far as in-game vs at home experience, and I promise that isn't my biased love of baseball speaking. I know so many people who don't like watching baseball at all, but love going to baseball games. That's because the game is the slowest of the major ones, and sure the most "boring" (I don't think so but I get it), but a baseball game offers a lot of distraction and things to do other than watching the game, which is due to the slower pace. It's probably the most relaxing experience too... the average fan doesn't have to feel compelled to be fully at attention at all times. And then when something exciting does happen you can celebrate more (obviously true for all sports though).

As for playoffs, it has to be the most tense, right? Because of the downtime... like a ticking bomb about to go off.

I'm not really talking about sellout streaks or whatever though. This is a playoff game. It should be sold out. Do THAT many Yankees fans rally just not care that much about the ALDS?

The Mets had to do a lottery and shit for their fans who weren't planholders and even then once you clicked the link if you got one they were gone in literally seconds. And this just for the NLDS. In secondary market tickets were absolutely insane too.

Just learned Yankees didn't sell out. That is mind boggling to me.

My friend went to game 4. Bought his tickets last minute from Yankees website directly. 75 bucks each. Like sure they were bad seats but how do you not sell outa playoff game in NY with tix that cheap (for a playoff game). Its not like people cant afford it in new york.
