Steve Phillips when he was Mets GM - "Players are weird". #baseballplayer #baseball #mets
Gordon asked Steve about player superstitions and Steve came right out and told us!

We had to ask Steve Phillips about Bobby Bonilla and he did not shy away at all! Maybe Shohei Ohtani should be thanking Steve!
It's hard to believe Steve Phillips has been a radio personality for 20 years! His time as GM for our #mets is fondly remembered for Mike Piazza and the biggest non-playoff home run in Mets history - until this year maybe? Steve hosts 'The Leadoff Spot' on Sirius/XM radio and…
#Giants finally signed a free agent. Did they do the right thing? Former #yankees Clay Holmes goes to the #mets as a starter. Or an 8th inning reliever if it does not work out. Former Mets starter Luis Severino goes to Sacramento which is great for him and won't help…
Dan Evans former #Dodgers GM talks about changing the vibe and introducing great former players to the current players.
Former Dodger GM Dan Evans discusses bringing back #Dodger greats
Dodgers GM from 2001-2004 having a winning record each year, Dan Evans is a baseball lifer with a lot of life left ahead! He also was with the White Sox under HOFer Roland Hemond and later was a part of bringing future HOFer Adrian Beltre over to the #Mariners. We…
What a great time it is to be a #MLB free agent! Former #Yankees Juan Soto may go to #Mets but may not. But why aren't more teams in (besides #Dodgers)? All the teams in MLB are increasing their franchise value. Why are they cheaping out? Paying over market for…
#astros Billy Wagner is in his 10th and final appearance on the #BBWA #baseball HOF ballot. Will this be the one? Wagner only missed by less than 2% last year. But new entrants like #mariners #ichirosuzuki CC Sabathia, and Felix Hernandez are on the ballot now. Will they get in…
Stan-the-Man Musial a first baseman?. A shoulder injury forced him to become a hitter after he started as a pitcher/outfield and then became an oufielder full-time except the #Cardinals played him at first base often. Musial had 3,630 hits - the same 1,815 hits at home as he had on…
As #Mets fans we're excited about the possibility of Juan Soto. But what might it take to get him to sign? The most expensive contract in baseball history? Even more than Shohei Ohtani. Shohei got $700M but with deferrals it ends up being closer to $460M in present value. What…
Roki Sasaki finally got Chibo to allow him to explore playing #MLB. He will play this season at some point in the Majors although he will begin his MLB career in the minor leagues. Juan Soto is being courted and his agent Scott Boras is holding court. Gerrit Cole thought…
Do you know where to get data on every baseball player who played since 1871? baseball1.com was founded by SABR member Sean Lahman. In the mid-1990s, Lahman created the first online baseball encyclopedia at his Baseball Archive website. Sean recently and generously donated this database to SABR and it's both…
No longer can #dodgers be talked about as not having won a WS in this century in a 162-game season. There are a few players like Max Muncy who remember taking Covid-19 test after winning the 2020 World Series. No parades. No cheering from the fans. The 2024 championship behind…
In 2023 #Dbacks came from 2-0 down to beat the #Phillies in the NLCS. #Yankees being down 2-0 is not insurmountable. Yankee fans however are going nuts and negative since presumptive AL MVP Aaron Judge has struck out 6 times in 2 games without recording a hit! How will the…
#Guardians gave it their best shot vs. #Yankees but it was far from enough. And Cleveland had great moments from Lane Thomas, Johnkensey Noel, and David Fry but playoff GIancarlo Stanton and the greatness of Juan Soto were too much for Guardians vaunted bullpen. Emmanuel Clase came down to earth…
We're so excited that the #Mets are still in it! Subway series vs. #Yankees would be cool and is very exciting. #Dodgers and Shohei will do all they can to stop the Magic Mets. Cleveland #Guardians got by #Tigers Tarik Skubal with former #National Lane Thomas providing two huge blows…
What a week to be a #mets fan! Now that #Brewers are vanquished #Phillies await - a much tougher task. Who do you have in the Division series that starts today? #Yankees #Royals #Guardians #Tigers #Dodgers #Padres We make our picks and talk about what happened to the #Orioles #Astros…
#Dbacks can only sit and watch the #MLBplayoffs in 2024. The defending NL champions are out after the #Mets and #Braves split a day-after-the-regular-season is over doubleheader. Both teams have zero time to recover as the opening games of the Wild Card Series begin the very next day - which…
Rookie League championships were done in July. Low A and High A Ball finished their championships earlier this month. Today the AA and AAA finals are being played with the AAA overall championship a one game 'winner take all' playoff this Saturday Sept. 28th. We wonder if there are trophies…
I#Dodgers Shohei Ohtani did it! He capped his week by tying the game Sunday with homer number 53 which was followed by Mookie Betts's walk-off homer vs. the #Rockies. #Royals have lost 6 straight and are fading like the #Twins. #Astros are on the verge of putting away the #Mariners…
Having the most wins, most strikeouts, and lowest E.R.A. in the league is kind of cool. But did you know that was called a pitcher triple crown? Tarik Skubal and #Braves Chris Sale are both in line to win the AL and NL pitching triple crowns this season. They are…
#Padres are trying to chase down the #dodgers. Glasnow is out for the year now. Trade deadline acquisition John Flaherty is the default #1 pitcher in a playoff! Bullpens will be the telling thing in the playoffs. Can any team's bullpen be trusted? #Guardians? #Phillies? We introduced a new segment…
Bobby Witt Jr. is having an all-time season at shortstop for the #Royals. Francisco Lindor is having a terrific season for the #Mets. Both will likely not win their league's MVP as #yankees Aaron Judge and #Dodgers Shohei Ohtani have the inside lanes. #Giants Barry Bonds ruined it for #Cardinals…
