the Secretary of of the Admiralty.
" HMS Triad," July 1, 1915.
Sir,—I have the honour to forward herewith an account of
the operations carried out on the 25th and 26th April, 1915, during
which period the Mediterranean Expeditionary Force was landed
and firmly established in the Gallipoli peninsula.
The landing commenced at 4.20 a.m. on 25th. The general scheme
was as follows: — Two main landings were to take place,
the first at a.point just north of Gaba Tepe, the second on the
southern end of the peninsula. In addition, a landing was to be
made at Kum Kale, and a demonstration in force to be carried out
in the Gulf of Xeros near Bulair. The night of the 24th-25th was
calm and very clear, with a brilliant moon, which set at 3 a.m.
The first landing, north of Gaba Tepe, was carried out under the
orders of Rear-Admiral C. P. Thursby, C.M.G. His squadron consisted
of the following ships:
To "Queen," "London," and "Prince of
Wales" was delegated the duty of actually landing the troops.
To " Triumph," " Majestic," and "Bacchante"
the duty of covering the landing by gunfire. In this landing a
surprise was attempted. The first troops to be landed were embarked
in the battleships "Queen," "London," and
"Prince of Wales." The squadron then approached the
land at 2.58 a.m. at a speed of 5 knots. When within a short distance
of the beach selected for landing the boats were sent ahead. At
4.20 a.m. the boats reached the beach and a landing was effected.
The remainder of the infantry of the covering force were embarked
at 10 p.m., 24th. The troops were landed in two trips, the operation
occupying about half an hour, this in spite of the fact that the
landing was vigorously opposed, the surprise being only partially
The disembarkation of the main body was at once proceeded with.
The operations were somewhat delayed owing to the transports having
to remain a considerable distance from the shore in order to avoid
the howitzer and field guns' fire brought to bear on them and
also the fire from warships stationed in the Narrows, Chanak.
The beach here was very narrow and continuously under shell fire.
The difficulties of disembarkation were accentuated by the necessity
of evacuating the wounded; both operations proceeded simultaneously.
The service was one which called for great determination and coolness
under fire, and the success achieved indicates the spirit animating
all concerned. In this respect I would specially mention the extraordinary
gallantry and dash shown by the 3rd Australian Infantry Brigade
(Colonel E. G. Sinclair Maclagan, D.S.O.), who formed the covering
Many individual acts of devotion to duty were performed by the
personnel of the Navy; these are dealt with below. Here I should
like to place on record the good service performed by the vessels
employed in landing the second part of the covering force; the
seamanship displayed and the rapidity with which so large a force
was thrown on the beach is deserving of the highest praise.
On the 26th the landing of troops, guns and stores continued throughout
the day; this was a most trying service, as the enemy kept up
an incessant shrapnel fire, and it was extremely difficult to
locate the well-concealed guns of the enemy. Occasional bursts
of fire from the ships in the Narrows delayed operations somewhat,
but these bursts of fire did not last long, and the fire from
our ships always drove the enemy's ships away. The enemy heavily
counter-attacked, and though supported by a very heavy shrapnel
fire he could make no impression on our line, which was every
minute becoming stronger. By nightfall on the 26th April our position
north of Gaba Tepe was secure.
The landing at the southern extremity of the Gallipoli peninsula
was carried out under the orders of Rear-Admiral R. E. Wemyss,
C.M.G., M.V.O., his squadron consisting of the following ships:
in this area were to be attempted at five different places; the
conditions at each landing varied considerably. The position of
beaches is given below.
Position of Beach.—
" Y " beach, a point about 7,000 yards north-east of
Cape Tekeh.
"X" beach, 1,000 yards north-east of Cape Tekeh.
"W" beach, Cape Tekeh—Cape Helles.
"V" beach, Cape Helles—Seddul Bahr.
Camber, Seddul Bahr.
" S " beach, Eski-Hissarlik Point.
Taking these landings in the above
Landing at " Y" Beach.—The troops to be first
landed, the King's Own Scottish Borderers, embarked on the 24th
in the '' Amethyst'' and '' Sapphire '' and proceeded with the
transports "Southland" and "Braemar Castle"
to a position off Cape Tekeh. At 4.0 a.m. the boats proceeded
to " Y " beach, timing their arrival there at 5.0 a.m.,
and pulled ashore covered by fire from H.M.S. "Goliath."
The landing was most successfully and expeditiously carried out,
the troops gaining the top of the high cliffs overlooking this
beach without being opposed; this result I consider due to the
rapidity with which the disembarkation was carried out and the
well-placed covering fire from ships. The Scottish Borderers were
landed in two trips, followed at once by the Plymouth Battalion
Royal Marines. These troops met with severe opposition on the
top of the cliffs, where fire from covering ships was of little
assistance and, after heavy fighting, were forced to reembark
on the 26th. The re-embarkation was carried out by the following
ships: " Goliath," "Talbot," "Dublin,"
"Sapphire," and " Amethyst." It was most ably
conducted by the beach personnel and covered by the fire of the
warships, who prevented the enemy reaching the edge of the cliff,
except for a few snipers.
Landing at " X " Beach.—The 2nd Battalion Royal
Fusiliers (two companies and M.G. Section) embarked in "Implacable"
on 24th, which ship proceeded to a position off the landing-place,
where the disembarkation of the troops commenced at 4.30 a.m.,
and was completed at 5.15 a.m. A heavy fire was opened on the
cliffs on both sides. The "Implacable" approached the
beach, and the troops were ordered to land, fire being continued
until the boats were close into the beach. The troops on board
the " Implacable " were all landed by 7 a.m. without
any casualties. The nature of the beach was very favourable for
the covering fire from ships, but the manner in which this landing
was carried out might well serve as a model.
Landing at "W" Beach.—The 1st Battalion Lancashire
Fusiliers embarked in " Euryalus " and " Implacable
" on the 24th, who proceeded to positions off the landing
place, where the troops embarked in the boats at about 4 a.m.
Shortly after 5 a.m. "Euryalus" approached "W"
beach and " Implacable " " X " beach. At 5
a.m. the covering ships opened a heavy fire on the beach, which
was continued up to the last moment before landing. Unfortunately
this fire did not have the effect on the extensive wire entanglements
and trenches that had been hoped for, and the troops, on landing
at 6 a.m., were met with a very heavy fire from rifles, machine
guns, and pom-poms, and found the obstructions on the beach undamaged.
The formation of this beach lends itself admirably to the defence,
the landing-place being commanded by sloping cliffs offering ideal
positions for trenches and giving a perfect field of fire. The
only weakness in the enemy's position was on the flanks, where
it was just possible to land on the rocks and thus enfilade the
more important defences. This landing on the rocks was effected
with great skill, and some maxims, cleverly concealed in the cliffs
and which completely enfiladed the main beach, were rushed with
the bayonet. This assisted to a great extent in the success of
the landing, the troops, though losing very heavily, were not
to be denied and the beach and the approaches to it were soon
in our possession The importance of this success cannot be overestimated;
" W " and " V " beaches were the only two
of any size, in this area, on which troops, other than infantry,
could be disembarked, and failure to capture this one might have
had serious consequences as the landing at " V " was
held up. The beach was being continuously sniped, and a fierce
infantry battle was carried on round it throughout the entire
day and the following night. It is impossible to exalt too highly
the service rendered by the 1st Battalion Lancashire Fusiliers
in the storming of the beach; the dash and gallantry displayed
were superb. Not one whit behind in devotion to duty was the work
of the beach personnel, who worked untiringly throughout the day
and night, landing troops and stores under continual sniping.
The losses due to rifle and machine-gun fire sustained by the
boats' crews, to which they had not the satisfaction of being
able to reply, bear testimony to the arduous nature of the service.
During the night of the 25th-26th enemy attacked continuously,
and it was not till 1 p.m. on the 26th, when " V '"beach
was captured,that our position might be said to be secure. The
work of landing troops, guns, and stores continued throughout
this period and the conduct of all concerned left nothing to be
Landing at. "V" Beach.—This beach, it was anticipated,
would be the most difficult to capture; it possessed all the advantages
for defence which "W" beach had, and in addition the
flanks were strongly guarded by the old castle and village of
Seddul Bahr on the east and perpendicular cliffs on the west;
the whole foreshore was covered with barbed wire entanglements
which extended in places under the sea. The position formed a
natural amphitheatre with the beach as stage. The first landing
here, as at all other places, was made in boats, but the experiment
was tried of landing the remainder of the covering force by means
of a collier, the " River Clyde." This steamer had been
specially prepared for the occasion under the directions of Commander
Edward Unwin; large ports had been cut in her sides and gangways
built whereby the troops could reach the lighters which were to
form a bridge on to the beach. " V " beach was subjected
to a heavy bombardment similarly to "W" beach, with
the same result, i.e., when the first trip attempted to land they
were met with a murderous fire from rifle, pom-pom and machine
gun, which was not opened till the boats had cast off from the
steamboats. A landing on the flanks here was impossible and practically
all the first trip were either killed or wounded, a few managing
to find some slight shelter under a bank on the beach; in several
boats all were either killed or wounded; one boat entirely disappeared,
and in another there were only two survivors. Immediately after
the boats had reached the beach the '' River Clyde '' was run
ashore under a heavy fire rather towards the eastern end of the
beach, where she could form a convenient breakwater during future
landing of stores, &c. As the "River Clyde" grounded,
the lighters which were to form the bridge to the shore were run
out ahead of the collier, but unfortunately they failed to reach
their proper stations and a gap was left between two lighters
over which it was impossible for men to cross; some attempted
to land by lumping from the lighter which was in position into
the sea and wading ashore; this method proved too costly, the
lighter being soon heaped with dead and the disembarkation was
ordered to cease. The troops in the " River Clyde "
were protected from rifle and machine-gun fire and were in comparative
safety. Commander Unwin, seeing how things were going, left the
" River Clyde " and, standing up to his waist in water
under a very heavy fire, got the lighters into position; he was
assisted in this work by Midshipman G. L. Drewry, R.N.R., of H.M.S.
"Hussar"; Midshipman W. St. A. Malleson, R.N., of H.M.S.
" Cornwallis " : Able Seaman W. C. Williams, O.N. 186774
(R.F.R. B.3766), and Seaman R.N.R. George McKenzie Samson, O.N.
2408A, both of H.M.S. " Hussar." The bridge to the shore,
though now passable, could not be used by the troops, anyone appearing
on it being instantly shot down, and the men in " River Clyde"
remained in her till nightfall. At 9.50 a.m. " Albion "
sent in launch and pinnace manned by volunteer crews to assist
in completing bridge, which did not quite reach beach; these boats,
however, could not be got into position until dark owing to heavy
It had already been decided not to continue to disembark on "
V " Beach, and all other troops intended for this beach were
diverted to "W." The position remained unchanged on
" V " beach throughout the day, men of war and the maxims
mounted in " River Clyde " doing their utmost to keep
down the fire directed on the men under partial shelter on the
beach. During this period many heroic deeds were performed in
rescuing wounded men in the water. During the night of the 25th-26th
the troops in "River Clyde" were able to disembark under
cover of darkness and obtain some shelter on the beach and in
the village of Seddul Bahr, for possession of which now commenced
a most stubborn fight. The fight continued, supported ably by
gunfire from H.M.S. "Albion," until 1.24 p.m., when
our troops had gained a position from which they assaulted hill
141, which dominated the situation. " Albion" then ceased
fire, and the hill, with old fort on top, was most gallantly stormed
by the troops, led by Lieutenant-Colonel C. H. H. Doughty-Wylie,
General Staff, who fell as the position was won. The taking of
this hill effectively cleared the enemy from the neighbourhood
of the "V" Beach, which could now be used for the disembarkation
of the allied armies. The capture of this beach called for a display
of the utmost gallantry and perseverance from the officers and
men of both services—that they successfully accomplished
their task bordered on the miraculous.
Landing on the Camber, Seddul Bahr.— One half company Royal
Dublin Fusiliers landed here, without opposition, the Camber being
" dead ground." The advance from the Camber, however,
was only possible on a narrow front, and after several attempts
to enter the village of Seddul Bahr this half company had to withdraw
after suffering heavy losses.
Landing at " De Totts" "S" Beach.— The
2nd South Wales Borderers (less one company) and a detachment
2nd London Field Company R.E. were landed in boats, convoyed by
" Cornwallis," and covered by that ship and "Lord
Nelson." Little opposition was encountered, and the hill
was soon in the possession of the South Wales Borderers. The enemy
attacked this position on the evening of the 25th and during the
26th, but our troops were firmly established, and with the assistance
of the covering ships all attacks were easily beaten off.
Landing at Kum, Kale.—The landing here was undertaken by
the French. It was most important to prevent the enemy occupying
positions in this neighbourhood, whence he could bring gun fire
to bear on the transports off Cape Helles. It was also hoped that
by holding1 this position it would be possible to deal effectively
with the enemy's guns on the Asiatic shore immediately east of
Kum Kale, which could fire into Seddul Bahr and De Totts. The
French, after a heavy preliminary bombardment, commenced to land
at about 10 a.m., and by the afternoon the whole of their force
had been landed at Kum Kale. When they attempted to advance to
Yeni Shehr, their immediate objective, they were met by heavy
fire from well-concealed trenches, and were held up just south
of Kum Kale village. During the night of the 25th-26th the enemy
made several counter-attacks, all of which were easily driven
off; during one of these 400 Turks were captured, their retreat
being cut off by the fire from the battleships. On the 26th, when
it became apparent that no advance was possible without entailing
severe losses and the landing of large reinforcements, the order
was given for the French to withdraw and re-embark, which operation
was carried out without serious opposition.
I now propose to make the following more general remarks on the
conduct of the operations : — From the very first the co-operation
between army and navy was most happy; difficulties which arose
were quickly surmounted, and nothing could have succeeded the
tactfulness and forethought of Sir Ian Hamilton and his staff.
The loyal support which I received from Contre-Amiral E. P. A.
Guepratte simplified the task of landing the Allied armies simultaneously.
The Russian fleet was represented by H.I.R.M.S. "Askold,"
which ship was attached to the French squadron. Contre-Amiral
Guepratte bears testimony to the value of the support he received
from Captain Ivanoff, especially during the landing and re-embarkation
of the French troops at Kum Kale. The detailed organisation of
the landing could not be commenced until the Army Headquarters
returned from Egypt on the 10th April. The work to be done was
very great, and the naval personnel and material available small.
Immediately on the arrival of the Army Staff at Mudros, committees,
composed of officers of both services, commenced to work out the
details of the landing operations, and it was due to these officers'
indefatigable efforts that the expedition was ready to land on
the 22nd April. The keenness displayed by the officers and men
resulted in a good standard of efficiency, especially in the case
of the Australian and New Zealand Corps, who appear to be natural
boatmen. Such actions as the storming of the Seddul Bahr position
by the 29th Division must live in history for ever; innumerable
deeds of heroism and daring were performed; the gallantry and
absolute contempt for death displayed alone made the operations
possible. At Gaba Tepe the landing and the dash of the Australian
Brigade for the cliffs was magnificent—nothing could stop
such men. The Australian and New Zealand Army Corps in this, their
first battle, set a standard as high as that of any army in history,
and one of which their countrymen have every reason to be proud.
In closing this despatch I beg to bring to their Lordships' notice
the names of certain officers and men who have performed meritorious
service. The great traditions of His Majesty's Navy were well
maintained, and the list of names submitted of necessity lacks
those of many officers and men who performed gallant deeds unobserved
and therefore unnoted. This standard was high, and if I specially
mention one particular Action it is that of Commander Unwin and
the two young officers and two seamen who assisted him in the
work of establishing communication between "River Clyde "
and the beach. Rear-Admirals R. E Wemyss, C.M.G., M.V.O., C. P.
Thursby, C.M.G., and Stuart Nicholson, M.V.O., have rendered invaluable
service. Throughout they have been indefatigable in their efforts
to further the success of the operations, and their loyal support
has much lightened my duties and responsibilities. I have at all
times received the most loyal support from the Commanding Officers
of His Majesty's ships during an operation which called for the
display of great initiative and Captain R. F. Phillimore, C.B.,
M.V.O., A.D.C., as principal Beach Master, and Captain D. L. Dent,
as principal Naval Transport Officer, performed most valuable
[A list of those "mentioned" in this Despatch follows].
I have, &c.,
J. M. DE ROBECK, Vice-Admiral.

NL West Notes: Lyles, Olivera, Shields, Myers
Rockies starter Jordan Lyles has apparently escaped last night's injury scare with nothing more than a significant bruise on his right hand, Patrick Saunders of the Denver Post tweets. Lyles says he hopes to make his next start, though it is probably too soon to tell whether he'll miss some action. The 24-year-old was struck on his throwing hand by an Albert Pujols comebacker last night, with the subsequent swelling leading many to fear that he may have suffered a fracture. Lyles and Eddie Butler have arguably been the Rockies' most consistent starters this season.
More from the NL West…
- Hector Olivera is expected to arrive in Los Angeles tonight, CBS Sports' Jon Heyman reports (Twitter link). The Cuban infielder will take his physical and, presuming all is well, his agreement with the Dodgers will finally be official.
- James Shields is delivering on the mound and in the clubhouse for the Padres, leading USA Today's Bob Nightengale to wonder if the several teams who passed on Shields this winter are now second-guessing their decision.
- Wil Myers has tendinitis in his left wrist as the Padres hope that a few days of rest will help the outfielder avoid a DL stint, MLB.com's Corey Brock tweets. Myers underwent surgery on his right wrist last year, though he was dealing with an existing left wrist injury at that time as well.
- Don Mattingly deserves credit for keeping the Dodgers in first place despite several key injuries and some underperforming stars, Joel Sherman of the New York Post opines. There have been rumors that the team's new front office could bring in their own manager after the season is over or if the Dodgers struggled, yet Sherman feels Mattingly is staking his claim as a long-term answer in the dugout.
- Despite the growing buzz surrounding Troy Tulowitzki's name, a source tells the Record's Matt Ehalt that the Mets haven't changed their thoughts on acquiring the longtime star shortstop. Ehalt cites Tulowitzki's injury history, the money remaining on his contract and a repeated unwillingness from the Mets to part with top-tier pitching prospects. Wilmer Flores, who homered today, has shown good pop but questionable on-base skills and defense in his first extended look at shortstop in the Majors.
- Ken Rosenthal of FOX Sports discussed the Rockies in his latest piece, writing that it's "obvious to everyone" but Rockies owner Dick Monfort that the time to trade Tulowitzki has come. However, rather than look to begin moving pieces in the wake of a 10-game losing streak, the Rockies are still actively searching for starting pitching in hopes of improving the club. Rosenthal notes that the second wild card spot in each league can often act as "fool's gold," leading teams without legitimate hopes of contending to delay, or in some cases, refuse to sell off pieces with an eye toward the future.

NL East Notes: Doumit, Soriano, Mets' Shortstop
Veteran Ryan Doumit, who played last year for the Braves, "considers his playing career over," according to Jon Heyman of CBSSports.com (via Twitter). The 34-year-old switch hitter logged 166 plate appearances last year in Atlanta, slashing just .197/.235/.318. He has had many more productive seasons in his decade in the big leagues, of course, and owns a lifetime .264/.324/.432 batting line. Doumit also spent significant time with the Pirates and Twins after being drafted in the second round of the 1999 amateur draft by Pittsburgh. While it appears that Doumit will not look to make a return to the bigs, the wording of the report suggests that he is not yet prepared to make an official retirement.
Here are some NL East Notes:
- The Marlins' interest in Rafael Soriano is tied closely to his cost, according to a Twitter report from Ken Rosenthal and Jon Morosi of FOX Sports. As things stand, Miami is only willing to bite if it can add him "at a low price," per the report. It is not terribly surprising to learn that the Fish are not prepared to break the bank at this stage for the veteran righty; as the initial reports of interest suggested, the club is looking at all options to deal with its late-inning relief woes.
- Mets GM Sandy Alderson says he is not currently interested in adding a shortstop,Kristie Ackert of the New York Daily News reports. "Nothing has changed," said Alderson of the team's current daily deployment of Wilmer Flores. That is not terribly surprising given the timing, of course — to say nothing of the fact that Alderson would not be likely to broadcast any interest he did have — but should at least function to curb any immediate speculation about the possibility of a Troy Tulowitzki blockbuster.

Cubs-Mets Links: Hoyer, Russell, Castro, Syndergaard
With the teams in the midst of an interesting series at Wrigley Field, Cubs GM Jed Hoyer discussed the oft-speculated match between his club and the Mets, with the former blessed with numerous young middle infielders and the latter possessing a number of appealing young arms. Hoyer acknowledged that there have been discussions between the clubs. "We haven't made a deal yet, but there's been matches that made sense, and I'm sure we'll talk to them in the future," said Hoyer. Though the Chicago executive noted that it remains likely that the clubs will match up on a deal of some kind "at some point," it remains unclear whether there is any realistic possibility of traction on a significant deal involving their best respective talent.
- While plenty of water has passed under the bridge in the meantime, the Mets did ask the Cubs about the availability of top shortstop prospect Addison Russell at more than one point over the winter, John Harper of the New York Daily News writes. But talks never moved on that front, as Chicago made clear it was not interested in dealing its newly-acquired blue chip piece. The report, along with the team's aggressive promotion of Russell to man second base at the big league level, obviously suggests that the Cubs' internal assessment of Russell meets or exceeds that of the industry as a whole. Indeed, Jesse Rogers of ESPNChicago.com opines that a trade of Starlin Castro — possibly, to the Mets — and commitment to Russell makes good sense for the Cubs, at least in the long term.
- Both clubs are, of course, set to get a good look at the Mets' own best prospect, Noah Syndergaard, as he squares off against Russell and company tonight in the first start off his big league career. MLB.com's Phil Rogers writes that the ascension of Syndergaard is a clear sign that New York is ready to compete — and to do so on its own terms. "It's been tough," skipper Terry Collins said yesterday. "There have been times there are big names out there [available in trades or free agency] and we said, 'We have to hold tight, we have to be patient. Our guys are coming, and when they get here, we're going to be good for a long period of time.' And I think that time is right around the corner. I hope it starts tomorrow." As is the case with Russell, these comments seem to indicate that New York is hopeful that a rising Syndergaard will help drive the club in the immediate term — even in spite of an already quite productive rotation — which certainly reduces the already-low chance that he will be considered as a trade chip. They also provide further reminder that Mets GM Sandy Alderson has been quite selective in striking trades, preferring for the time being to monitor the development of internal talent while adding additional young pieces (quite successfully, of late) when the timing proved beneficial.
- For my money, while attention is focused on the matter now, Chicago would be wise to wait until the last possible moment to decide whether to move a middle infield piece this summer. Much depends upon the information gathered in the meantime on the team's ultimate postseason likelihood and specific needs, the readiness of Russell, and the development of Javier Baez and Arismendy Alcantara. As a large market club with rising payroll capacity, Chicago can afford to wait to make its moves. Similarly, the Mets are right to take more time in assessing Wilmer Flores at short — to say nothing of watching Dilson Herrera at second and seeing how David Wright responds to his rehab — and getting a better read on their own playoff prospects this year. It remains possible to imagine a scenario where these clubs match up over the summer, or perhaps more plausibly next winter, but the connection remains highly conditional as things stand.

Mets To Promote Noah Syndergaard
The Mets will promote top pitching prospect Noah Syndergaard to start on Tuesday, GM Sandy Alderson told reporters today, including ESPNNewYork.com's Adam Rubin (Twitter link). Righty Dillon Gee is headed to the DL with a groin strain, though the injury does not appear to be serious.
Syndergaard, 22, is widely regarded as one of the very best prospects in all of baseball. The towering righty came to New York along with backstop Travis d'Arnaud in the deal that sent R.A. Dickey to the Blue Jays.
Since that trade, Syndergaard has shot up prospect boards by continuing to show a huge fastball, solid control, and quality secondary offerings, as Baseball America explained in rating him New York's best minor league arm coming into the year. There is a clear industry consensus that Syndergaard is ready and able to be a quality big league pitcher: BA rated him the 11th best prospect in the game, with MLB.com (#10) and Baseball Prospectus (#9) concurring in the general assessment. Kiley McDaniel of Fangraphs is somewhat less bullish, but only slightly, as he rated Syndergaard just inside the top 20 while expressing some concern with the consistency of the youngster's offspeed offerings.
Syndergaard has done nothing to tamper expectations so far in 2015. Over 29 2/3 frames at Triple-A Las Vegas, a tough place to pitch, he has a 1.82 ERA with 10.3 K/9 against 2.4 BB/9. That start to the year seems to answer any questions that might have cropped up after Syndergaard proved somewhat easier to score against than expected last year (4.60 ERA) in his first run at the highest level of the minors.
It remains to be seen, of course, whether Syndergaard will hold down a big league job this year. Certainly, the opportunity is there. While Gee has been as solid as usual, and the Mets have ample rotation depth even after losing Zack Wheeler for the year, the club's strong 18-10 opening to the year only raises expectations and increases the importance of putting the best product possible on the field.
If Syndergaard is able to hold onto an active roster slot all season, he would set himself up for future Super Two qualification. But by keeping him down to start the year, the Mets would retain control over their prized young arm through 2021. Regardless of roster status, it is not likely that Syndergaard will spend the entire year putting up long outings at the big league level; he has yet to exceed 133 frames in a professional season, meaning the club will likely look to manage his innings.

Mets Notes: Wright, Syndergaard, Tapia
David Wright's return to the Mets will take longer than expected, as the team announced this afternoon that Wright's rehab from a hamstring injury has been shut down due to the development of lower back pain. Wright underwent an MRI that did not reveal any structural damage, but the Mets say that he will not resume baseball activities until the back pain has subsided. Wright, 32, was hitting .333/.317/.424 through his first eight games at the time of the injury. Eric Campbell and Daniel Murphy have absorbed the bulk of the playing time at third base, but obviously the loss of Wright for now extended period of time is a notable hindrance on the team. I wouldn't expect the Mets to pursue any form of long-term option, but a short-term pickup that could competently handle third base and allow Murphy to slide back over to second in place of the struggling Dilson Herrera is at least plausible.
A couple more notes on some Mets pitching prospects…
- Noah Syndergaard, not Steven Matz, would be the next in line should the need for a spot start arise, reports Newsday's David Lennon (via Twitter). Syndergaard's Triple-A experience has him ahead of Matz at this time, and with Rafael Montero sidelined, he'd be the next line of defense. As it stands, Matt Harvey, Jacob deGrom, Bartolo Colon, Jon Niese and Dillon Gee comprise the Mets' rotation. Gee began the year as a trade candidate — he may still be once Syndergaard/Matz have developed more and Montero is healthy — but he's performed well enough to hold down a rotation spot thus far.
- Jared Diamond of the Wall Street Journal tweeted yesterday that Mets pitching prospect Domingo Tapia has undergone Tommy John surgery. Tapia formerly ranked as one of New York's 10 best prospects on Baseball America's Top 30 list (prior to the 2013 season), but he fell to 19th prior to 2014 and missed the list entirely this past offseason. Last year, the 22-year-old Tapia spent the season with Class-A Advanced St. Lucie and worked to a 3.96 ERA but whiffed just 56 strikeouts against 51 walks. He moved up to Double-A this year but threw just 1 2/3 innings before falling to injury.

Rangers Return Rule 5 Pick Logan Verrett To Mets
Rule 5 Draft pick Logan Verrett, who was designated for assignment by the Rangers in late April, has cleared waivers and been returned to the Mets, according to a press release from the Mets. Texas has also confirmed the move.
The 24-year-old Verrett was originally selected by the Orioles in the most recent Rule 5 Draft. When Baltimore couldn't find a spot for him and fellow Rule 5 pick Jason Garcia in Spring Training, it was Verrett who the O's tried to sneak through waivers. However, Texas claimed him and placed him on its Opening Day roster as Spring Training broke.
Verrett appeared in four games for the Rangers, totaling nine innings but yielding seven runs (six earned) on 11 hits and three unintentional walks with just three strikeouts. Verrett did rack up ground-balls at an impressive 57.1 percent clip in his small sample of work, though he also displayed a fastball that averaged just 89.1 mph.
A former third-round selection by the Mets (2011), Verrett has a very strong K/BB ratio throughout his Minor League career, having averaged 7.5 K/9 against 1.7 BB/9 in 411 1/3 innings. He spent the 2014 campaign with Triple-A Las Vegas — an exceptionally hitter-friendly environment — and worked to a 4.33 ERA in 162 innings. Baseball America ranked Verrett 24th among Orioles farmhands this winter after they selected him in the Rule 5 Draft, noting that he mixes four pitches, including a solid-average slider that he is comfortable throwing in any count. Presumably, he will return to the Mets' Triple-A affiliate and add to New York's enviable stock of upper-level arms.

Quick Hits: Aardsma, Murphy, Rodon, Boras
Dodgers reliever David Aardsma has allowed his opt-out date to pass without exercising his clause, Bill Shaikin of the Los Angeles Times reports on Twitter. The 33-year-old has not thrown in the bigs since 2013, but was lights out at Triple-A last year and has continued that success into the current season. He looks like useful relief depth for Los Angeles.
Let's round up the day's news with a few more links:
- Giants executive VP of baseball operations Brian Sabean has been taking in the Mets' weekend series, ESPNNewYork.com's Adam Rubin reports. Rubin cautions that it is not clear precisely why Sabean is on hand, though obviously San Francisco looks like a theoretical match for Daniel Murphy — who is slotting in at third base at present while New York awaits the return of David Wright. Of course, his young would-be replacement at second, Dilson Herrera, has looked somewhat overmatched in his first two games back in the bigs, with four strikeouts and an infield hit to show from eight plate appearances.
- The White Sox are still feeling out how they will use rookie lefty Carlos Rodon, as Dan Hayes of CSNChicago.com reports. Chicago is burning through Rodon's service time while giving him relatively little action as the team tries to balance the need to introduce him to the bigs, keep him stretched out, and conserve his innings.
- Agent Scott Boras says he believes that the MLB rules should be loosened to allow the free trading of all draft picks, as Nick Piecoro of the Arizona Republic writes. "Trade picks, trade players — there should be a whole universe of options," opined Boras. "I'm a believer that you want as many chips on the table so the intellect can operate and a master plan can be created from a variety of different avenues of trade, draft, scouting and development, free agency, all the structures." Of course, as one executive notes to Piecoro, opening that avenue of trade activity could potentially transfer leverage to premium players who have a desire to influence their ultimate destination.
- Boras also rejected the idea of allowing teams expanded access to medical information, stating forcefully: "That's not going to work." Citing concern with players' rights not to have their medical information spread broadly to every team, Boras previewed some of the difficulties in addressing what promises to be a tricky issue on which to build a consensus between the players and the league.

NL East Notes: Johnson, Howard, Flores, Murphy, Puello
Braves third baseman Chris Johnson is expected to miss three to six weeks after receiving good news from his MRI, MLB.com's Mark Bowman reports. Because his hand fracture was "preexisting," per the report, Johnson will not be out as long as originally feared.
Here's more from New York and the rest of the NL East:
- Phillies first baseman Ryan Howard will qualify for ten-and-five rights tomorrow, as Ryan Lawrence of the Philadelphia Daily News reports. Howard downplayed the importance of that fact as regards his contract status, though he rightly noted that it was a worthwhile achievement standing alone. As Lawrence notes, there is little practical effect, as a modification to Jimmy Rollins' contract before his trade left Howard with virtually complete no-trade protection regardless.
- Despite a troubling start to the year defensively — he tacked on a seventh error tonight — Mets shortstop Wilmer Flores is in no danger of being replaced, as Rubin reports. The club thinks that the youngster will return to making the routine plays that are giving him fits right now, with GM Sandy Alderson saying that Flores has "plenty of room" to get back on track.
- Dilson Herrera did not do much in his first appearance of the year for the Mets, but New York is already considering what will happen if he's as good as advertised during his call-up, Andy Martino of the New York Daily News reports. The present alignment will feature Herrera at second and Daniel Murphy at third. But when David Wright returns from the DL, something will have to give. GM Sandy Alderson would say only that "the plan" is for Murphy to return to second, adding that "at the moment" there is no movement toward keeping Herrera there. But sources tell Martino that the Mets would be increasingly willing to move Murphy, even for a lesser return and even well before the trade deadline, if Herrera seems ready.
- The Mets will soon face another decision on Cesar Puello, the outfielder whose outright was rescinded earlier in the offseason when he was found to have a back issue that required a DL stint. As ESPNNewYork.com's Adam Rubin explains, Puello is likely to hit the waiver wire again once his rehab stint is finished.

Heyman's Latest: A-Rod, BoSox, Bryant, Ventura, Gordon, Duda
In this week's edition of his Inside Baseball column, Jon Heyman of CBS Sports begins by looking at the contentious courtroom showdown that stands between Alex Rodriguez and as much as $30MM worth of home run milestone bonuses. As Heyman notes, people on all sides of the case have reasons to dislike A-Rod. Rodriguez filed a lawsuit (that was eventually dropped) against the MLBPA, and he parted ways with agent Scott Boras more than six years ago. The Yankees' reasons for resenting Rodriguez are obvious, as are those of the league, with whom Rodriguez battled to reduce a 212-game suspension to a still-significant 162 game ban. Heyman looks at the arguments that can be made by both sides as well as the potential fallout once the situation is finally resolved.
Some highlights from the latest edition of Heyman's newest weekly column…
- Though the Red Sox aren't blinking when it comes to trade talks with the Phillies regarding Cole Hamels, one rival GM considers Boston the favorite. The Phillies quite like center field prospect Manuel Margot, and Boston does have other nice pieces. Heyman notes that one scout actually expressed concern to him about Mookie Betts' ability to hit the ball on the outer half of the plate, but the Sox remain steadfast in their refusal to part ways with Betts.
- The Cubs aren't concerned with a potential grievance being filed against them on behalf of Kris Bryant. Rather, their main concern is trying to find a way to extend him beyond his current allotment of team control. Heyman hears that Cubs are already considering trying to make him a Cub for life, though he also notes that it's a bit early for those discussions.
- White Sox skipper Robin Ventura signed an extension of an unreported length prior to the 2014 season, and Heyman now hears that Ventura is under contract through the 2016 season. The contract length is said to be of little importance to ChiSox owner Jerry Reinsdorf, who loves Ventura.
- The Royals plan to try to do "whatever they can" to retain Alex Gordon beyond the 2015 season. The 32-year-old Gordon's $12.5MM player option has increased to $13.25MM based on performance escalators, per Heyman. While Gordon has implied that he will exercise the option in the past, it's exceptionally difficult to envision him merely picking up the option rather than trying for a highly lucrative multi-year deal. The Royals never felt they had a great shot at retaining James Shields, but their hope with Gordon is that the career Royal and Nebraska native might be easier to retain. Heyman adds that while the club is interested in trying to extend Salvador Perez beyond the 2019 season, those talks aren't likely to come until after the season.
- Juan Uribe is off to a decent start with the Dodgers, but the hot play of Alex Guerrero and the addition of Hector Olivera in Spring Training could eventually lead to Uribe becoming available on the trade market. Uribe's at hasn't lined up with his previous seasons to this point, but he's hit a perhaps surprisingly strong .293/.333/.435 dating back to Opening Day 2013.
- Rival executives are anxiously anticipating a Brewers fire sale following the club's awful 5-17 start to the season, Heyman hears. One exec listed Carlos Gomez, Khris Davis, Jean Segura, Gerardo Parra, Kyle Lohse and Francisco Rodriguez as players who will draw interest, noting that Jonathan Lucroy is probably untouchable, while Matt Garza and Ryan Braun are somewhat overpriced.
- The Mets were trying for a three-year extension that contained a club option and would've guaranteed Lucas Duda a bit shy of $30MM. I'd imagine that with Duda could end up the beneficiary in that scenario, particularly if he can sustain the increase in his walk rate and the more notable decrease in his strikeout rate.
- Multiple Yankees people have shot down the notion that the team would pursue Hamels when asked by Heyman. One replied that the team is "not looking" at Hamels, while another wondered if Hamels is still a legitimate ace or more of just a big name.

Mets Not Planning To Trade Bartolo Colon
The Mets aren't expected to make Bartolo Colon available at this year's trade deadline, Andy Martino of the New York Daily News reports, barring a situation where "trading him would somehow directly improve their playoff chances." Colon, Dillon Gee and Jon Niese were all being shopped by the Mets during the offseason but none were dealt, a non-move that could end up being a prudent one for the team given that Zack Wheeler was lost for the season due to Tommy John surgery.
Colon has essentially been seen as a trade candidate ever since he signed his two-year, $20MM free agent contract in January 2014. As Martino puts it, "the Mets might has well have issued Colon a jersey with 'PLACEHOLDER' on the back" as the thinking was that the Mets would eventually use the veteran as a trade chip once one of their younger arms was ready to take his spot in the rotation. The Mets didn't get much interest about Colon at last year's trade deadline, however, and despite testing his market over the winter, the club began to feel more inclined to keep Colon even late last season.
"Our thinking has changed a lot" about Colon, a team insider tells Martino. Obviously, Colon's performance has been a factor, but the team also values his clubhouse popularity and his mentorship of young pitchers. Additionally, Martino notes that Colon's experience could be an asset to a young team that hopes to be in a pennant race.
Colon celebrates his 42nd birthday on May 24, and despite his age and no-frills arsenal (he has thrown his 88.6mph fastball a whopping 88.1% of the time), Colon is still a solidly effective Major League starter. Over 32 2/3 innings this season, Colon has a 3.31 ERA, 25 strikeouts and just one walk allowed, with ERA indicators like FIP, xFIP and SIERA indicating that his performance is no fluke.

attaboyJan 29, 2007it's good, but certainly challenging. they've progressed, which is an admirable thing for bands to do, especially when their canvas is so far out. that said, i don't want to be that guy who longs for the more melodic stuff done previously, but i am that guy. just this once i wanted hypnotic underworld II.
KevinKJan 28, 2007Not bad but a little too pretentious for me.

Maybe pastiche is inevitable, even in the Japanese avant garde scene, but can't it at least be a little more fun?

ZTE Grand X Pro and Avid 4G leak, show off newfound company sleekness
It looks like ZTE is really trying to get their name out as a legitimate manufacturer of Android devices. We've got 2 new leaks from @evleaks – the Grand X Pro and the Avid 4G – and they're a far cry from some of the low-to-mid range phones we've seen in the past.
While we dont have a whole lot to go off of for specs, what we can say is there seems to be some pretty solid manufacturing here. Reminiscent of HTC's devices, the Grand X Pro (which could even be a play on the HTC One line, perhaps?) has some real sleekness and simplicity to factor in. The Avid 4G looks to be a slight downgrade from the X Pro, but at least has ICS (?) and 4G to boot.
Be sure to check out the leaks at the source links below, and let us know your thoughts in the comments.

F1 Hungarian Grand Prix: Lewis Hamilton hungry for Hungary success to gain momentum ahead of the summer break
Hamilton has a favourable record at the Hungaroring having won four times in seven races
Thursday 24 July 2014
Lewis Hamilton and Nico Rosberg are both determined to claim a win in Hungary this weekend that will put them in good spirits heading into Formula One's summer break.
The duo have claimed nine victories from 10 races so far this season, and although Hamilton has a five-to-four edge over Rosberg, it is the latter who has a 14-point lead in the championship.
Hamilton, however, has made the Hungaroring his own since arriving in F1, chalking up four wins in seven attempts, including the last two.
Another triumph on Sunday will make him the most successful driver in the history of the race as he and seven-times champion Michael Schumacher are tied.
Hamilton said: "This race is always a special one for me, with four poles and four wins from my seven races there so far, including my first victory for Mercedes last season.
"I don't really have any secrets there. I've just been very fortunate over the years, and it's a circuit I really enjoy.
"It's one where you can really attack, which works for an attacking driver like myself, so perhaps it suits my driving style a little bit more than some others.
"I'm looking forward to it, and I'm doing absolutely everything I can to get back on level terms with Nico in the title battle. I can't focus more or work harder than I am doing right now."

Happy Hamilton believes championship challenge is on track
Rosberg, meanwhile, is on a high after his success on home soil in Germany on Sunday.
"To win at Hockenheim was a very, very special day for me," he said.
"That race and Monaco were the ones I really wanted to win, so to have done that is really awesome.
"But now I'm just looking forward to this next race in Hungary where I'll naturally be aiming for another win to extend my championship lead."
Motorsport boss Toto Wolff is still due to attend despite sustaining a number of fractures in a cycling accident on Tuesday.
On a team-bonding exercise along the river Danube in Vienna, several members of the F1 team - but not including Hamilton and Rosberg - were involved in the incident.
Wolff received treatment in a local hospital for a fractured wrist - which required a pin - elbow, shoulder and collarbone, whilst executive technical director Paddy Lowe escaped with only cuts and bruises.
A Mercedes spokesperson has confirmed Wolff is in "good spirits", and will arrive at the Hungaroring at some point over the weekend following a further day or two to recuperate.
Via Twitter, Wolff joked: "We've decided to leave it to the pros now. Lewis & Nico are better wheel to wheel at 300 km/h than we are at 30 km/h!"
Wolff's wife Susie, currently Williams development driver, via her account added: "My husband the hero! As we know, boys will be boys... Looks like I am on nurse duty for the next few weeks!"
Susie added a picture of her husband with his right arm in plaster and a sling.

Hillary advisor Mickey Kantor dissed Indiana voters in 1992; Update: Kantor's mad; Update: Dirty trick
Scroll down for updates…
An old video snippet (I believe it's from The War Room documentary) of Bill Clinton campaign operatives Mickey Kantor, George Stephanopoulos, and James Carville gloating about election returns has now made its way onto YouTube and is getting passed around on the left-wing blogs. (It's currently featured on Digg, Kos, DU, and more. And I've gotten several e-mails about it this morning.) In the clip, Kantor is seen dissing Indiana voters as "sh*t" and whispering to Stephanopoulos: "How would like to be a worthless white nigger?"
Obama people are apparently behind the move to disseminate the video–as obvious pushback against the Snobama rap. It's 16 years old and Kantor plays a nominal advisor role in the Hillary '08 campaign. But hey, whoever's behind it and however old it is, it's an always welcome reminder that both Democrat presidential candidates' camps share cynical contempt for the bitter, clingy, God-fearing, gun-toting voters in flyover country. Not news to the rest of us.
Maybe Stephanopoulous will ask Hillary about it during his "Town Hall" with her on Sunday. Her answer, naturally, should be, "You know, this conversation doesn't help my kids:"
Update: Kantor's steaming.
Update: Dirty trick.
I love how I'm going to get blamed for a vid clip circulated by the nutroots.

No idea what to think, Pens get Jarome Iginla for this year's first round pick and some college prospects. holy dicks Iginla still has monster status in many hearts. Iginla dictated this trade because Boston's offer was much, much better from the Flames' POV. He had no-trade, no-movement clauses to waive. He saw what the Pens were doing and wanted in on it. End of story. No idea what this means for the Pens. Means that they're going hard for the Cup. Someone might die. Lineup gets stranger and stranger. who knows man IGINLAAAA go Pens

Cisco Aironet 1242 AIR-AP1242AG-A-K9 802.11g Wireless Access Point
Cisco Aironet 1242 AIR-AP1242AG-A-K9 802.11g Wireless Access Point
The Cisco Aironet 1242 AIR-AP1242AG-A-K9 802.11g Wireless Access Point delivers the versatility, high capacity, security, and enterprise-class features demanded by WLAN customers. This IEEE 802.11a/g access point is designed specifically for challenging RF environments such as factories, warehouses, and large retail establishments that require the antenna versatility associated with connectorized antennas, a rugged metal enclosure, and a broad operating temperature range. The Cisco Aironet 1242 AIR-AP1242AG-A-K9 802.11g Wireless Access Point provides local as well as inline power, including support for IEEE 802.3af Power over Ethernet (PoE).
The Cisco Aironet 1242 AIR-AP1242AG-A-K9 802.11g Wireless Access Point supports 802.11i, Wi-Fi Protected Access (WPA), WPA2, and numerous Extensible Authentication Protocol (EAP) types. WPA and WPA2 are the Wi-Fi Alliance certifications for interoperable, standards-based WLAN security. These certifications support IEEE 802.1X for user-based authentication, Temporal Key Integrity Protocol (TKIP) for WPA encryption, and Advanced Encryption Standard (AES) for WPA2 encryption, helping to ensure interoperability between Wi-Fi-certified WLAN devices from different manufacturers.
Cisco Aironet 1240AG Series Access Points feature antenna connectors for greater range and coverage versatility using a broad selection of available Cisco antennas, as well as a rugged metal housing for operation over extended temperature ranges typical of industrial environments. Dual 802.11a and 802.11g radios offer a combined capacity of 108 Mbps, meeting the performance requirements of the most demanding applications, while hardware-assisted AES encryption provides uncompromised support for interoperable IEEE 802.11i and WPA2 security. The Cisco Aironet 1242 AIR-AP1242AG-A-K9 802.11g Wireless Access Point delivers enterprise-class features for challenging RF environments.What It Is and Why You Need It
- Management Frame Protection
This feature provides for the authentication of 802.11 management frames by the wireless network infrastructure. This allows the network to detect spoofed frames from access points or malicious users impersonating infrastructure access points. If an access point detects a malicious attack, an incident will be generated by the access points.
- Both Local and Inline Power Supported
Power can be supplied using the Ethernet cable, eliminating the need for costly electrical power line runs to remotely installed access points. The access points can be powered by IEEE 802.3af PoE, Cisco inline power switches, single port power injectors, or local power

Good news:
GrabOne's Voucher Guarantee means missing out on claiming your deal in time no longer means losing out altogether!
How does it work?
- A voucher is valid up to and including the expiry date stated.
- If you don't use your voucher before that date for whatever reason, it can still be used towards that service with that business for an additional 30 days.

- The GrabOne Voucher Guarantee does not apply to product deals, travel and accommodation-related deals, or time-dependent event deals.
- It's always best to use your voucher before the expiry date, so you get the most value for your money. And if you're a bit forgetful, we now automatically remind you if your vouchers are about to expire.
- During the extended Voucher Guarantee period, your voucher can only be put towards the service stated on the voucher.
- If the offer is seasonal, like a seasonal menu or chimney sweep service, the Voucher Guarantee can be put towards a similar offer at the merchant's discretion.
- The conditions on your voucher still apply during the Voucher Guarantee period.

A dog's sense of hearing is significantly greater than a human's. Studies have shown that dogs are capable of perceiving frequencies about twice that of a normal human and can pick up and distinguish sounds roughly four times that of humans. This means that dogs can hear many sounds on frequencies that humans cannot even begin to detect and what a human can hear at 20 feet a dog can hear at roughly 80 feet.
