New Mets jerseys are gorgeous. Glad to see them wearing the cream colored pinstriped jerseys as their primary home unis.

Not a fan of the navy Braves alts though. Boring.
 
Lol, after the recent draft changes, you can't even pretend to complain Melvin is the only one complaining.

Most teams would go to an extra arm, I would assume. Bullpen arms have been increasing at a significantly faster clip than DH contracts, which are generally stagnant over the last five years.
Funny how he was complaining about roster sizes and AAAA/fringe players like Adron effing Chambers before the newest draft changes then, huh?

Perhaps it's due to following the Cardinals mainly, but why aren't more teams going with a relatively cheap bullpen full of young guys? Surely, teams around the league have a bunch of failed starting pitchers in their system to convert into relievers? Unless you're the Yankees/Red Sox/Phillies, paying a premium for relievers doesn't make much sense. Saving $$$ for less fungible positions should be the goal for teams limited by a budget.

i assume that pitch tommy is throwing is his new 2 seamer, 89mph is slow for his normal fastball.

Whatever it is it looks like shit. He's left a few fastballs over the middle already, Wright and Duda should've crushed it.

Supposedly his new one is around 86 MPH and has tons of movement. He's put more focus on placement and movement in the offseason, from what they say.

For real. I didn't plan this well, I thought I'd listen to the game online but I just remembered an hour ago that MLB blocks that unless it's on an actual radio. :(

Mostly, it took me forever, but I found one that had it on Tune In. The bigger stations are always blocked. You have to find one that's in a podunk town.
