Mike Weinar being interviewed is pretty sick. He’s the Indiana assistant who designed their spread formation ATO (from the Bucks series) and as far as I can tell his role on the staff is special teams plays. He’s been Carlisle’s protege since Dallas.

interviewed isnt hired lets wait before we get excited about it

I don’t know anything about him, but it seems like a logical hire if they can get him. Towns and even Yabu will both probably play the 5 at times and shoot 3s. We just don’t know yet whether Mitch will start with Towns or if they are going with 5 out to start.

Normally I wouldn’t be very interested in who is going to get the last spot, but I think both Simmons and Shamet would add something to the team. I kind of wish we could add both. Hell, I wish we could bring back Wright also.

The Weinar stuff supports my theory that the through line of this offseason is trying to up our 3PAr and more generally modernize our offense.

From my keyboard to god’s ears!

You’re very wrong about that, Knicks 2025. Show your work.

I wish I could get more interested in or excited about the assistant coach search.

i dont partake in any kind of sausage others here are free to do so i probably should have said that its not an italian sausage summer *for me* thank you for the clarification clarence! have a great day

Thus you are very wrong.

I pay almost no attention to major league baseball, but I was bored this morning and was looking at hitting stats, specifically for the Mets. Is their leading hitter really Brandon Nimmo at .260? I’m assuming they must have an awesome pitching staff to have compiled a 63-49 record?

Maybe some of you Mets fans can enlighten me.

I went to a reds Mets game at new shea and was glad for the fireworks sulfur at the end. Felt like a fitting end to a shitty game.

I don’t pay much attention to baseball, big I have noticed that overall batting averages are lower than they used to be. D-mars’ note intrigued me and I did a little digging. I found this web page that shows team batting averages where you can switch between years easily. If you compare 2007 to 2025 you can see a big difference. Batting averages are a lot lower now. I don’t know why this is, but it means maybe that Mets’ number is real but just not as out of whack either the rest of the league as you might expect.

Uh oh, Old Man Rant coming.

Baseball SUCKS now. I still pay a little attention, but barely. It’s all about launch angles. If you can’t hit over 30 home runs you’re a pointless wanker. If you can hit 30 or more, doesn’t matter if that’s literally all you can do.

It’s why I made fun of the latest Mets acquisition here (you probably missed it, all hail Cedric Mullins and his .229 batting average).

I’m sure there is a statistical justification, as per the three-pointers, but goddamn does it make the game boring. No speeding up of pitching can make up for that.

Plus everyone looks like Rowdy Tellez now. There should always be a place in baseball for a fat fuck who looks like he just came out of the bowling alley bar to take a few swings, but half your team?

League batting average is .246 this year.

The Mets’ offense has been pedestrian this year. Their BA is below average, OBP and SLG slightly above average. The best overall metric wRC+ ranks them seventh, but they’ve been terrible with RISP so they’re smack in the middle of the league in runs scored, 15th overall.
