SLACKISH REACTION: Winter begins at 5:21pm Eastern on Friday December 21, but that is not stopping baseball from having its Very Late Fall Meetings.
The Very Late Fall Meetings are very very exciting times over at Formerly MetsBlog as they get to publish every rumor and every could be trade in the world, plus they probably are doing some TV shows where they sit on high stools in the lobby. I dunno because I didn’t get the press release.
At least there was some Actual News yesterday including….
Chili Davis is the Mets hitting coach.
The Mets also made up Quality Control Coach which really sounds like a team trying too hard…
Rojas, 37, will be in uniform and will serve as a conduit between the front office and coaching staff on all issues including game preparation, strategy and analytics.
What is that? Give me an old guy who smokes two packs of cigarettes during the game who has seen it all and maybe scribbled a few notes. Stop with this nonsense and just play baseball. Get ready for all sorts of over-managing. Seems like this is part of the con.
So Mickey Hodges has not only a bench coach, but another coach who focuses on prep and strategy. What does Mickey do?
In better news, Sunday Night Baseball is going to start at 7!
And its our final goodbye to the Las Vegas 51s as they become the Las Vegas Aviators and become the A’s problem,.
