RIPPA Posted December 12, 2021 Author Share Posted December 12, 2021 Apparently the finalists for the Mets' manager job are Buck Showalter and Joe Espanda (with Buck the supposed favorite) I love Buck and want him to get another gig - I will just feel bad if it is with the Mets Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RIPPA Posted December 29, 2021 Author Share Posted December 29, 2021 So apparently Kyle Seager is retiring. The announcement was made via his wife on Twitter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BrianS81177 Posted December 29, 2021 Share Posted December 29, 2021 Funny, I think he easily could have caught on somewhere else considering he set career highs in HR and RBI last year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RIPPA Posted December 29, 2021 Author Share Posted December 29, 2021 There is some thought that he got inspired by Buster Posey retiring and chose that route because wasn't really excited about playing for another team Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He could have caught on but he was awful last year. 35 homers, yeah, but a .285 OBP that would've embarrassed even Rob Deer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RIPPA Posted December 30, 2021 Author Share Posted December 30, 2021 Seager said he knew he was retiring before the season ended and had thought about it as early as Spring Training In looking at his full quotes - it does go back to the point that it really looks like he knew the Mariners weren't keeping him and he didn't want to play anywhere else Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
odessasteps Posted January 3, 2022 Share Posted January 3, 2022 To day is the 60th anniversary of the Astrodome breaking ground. They fired off Colt .45 (blanks) instead of usinng shovels. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RIPPA Posted January 6, 2022 Author Share Posted January 6, 2022 So the Yanks hired Eric Chavez as an assistant hitting coach They Mets heard that and thought "HEY! That sounds like a great idea" and are hiring Chavez as their hitting coach He was on the Yankees staff for two weeks and didn't actually assist any hitters Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RIPPA Posted January 6, 2022 Author Share Posted January 6, 2022 To be fair - that was from the beginning of Dec and was reported at at the time. So it isn't new HOWEVER - it isn't like they have made any progress and Jeff Passan had an article a day or two ago (full article is behind a paywall) that basically says nothing has changed Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pete Posted January 10, 2022 Share Posted January 10, 2022 1 hour ago, John from Cincinnati said: Here's some good news. Fair warning: Do not read the replies. In related news, she's already become the first baseball manager preemptively accused of getting caught in bed with their players. All of the snowflakes are making the jokes already and concern trolling about how she's going to handle a player trying to get cute with her. Hello... this is the NEW YORK YANKEES. The same team that blew up their minor league affiliation with Staten Island at least in part because they were going to call themselves the Pizza Rats. Guarantee you, any shithead who tries to make a pass at her will be in the Pecos League before they know what hit them. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
