"Strangers come and cut your heart out": Injuries in 2015

[ashie62]

Return to the five man rotation please!

Matz tore his muscle. Yikes.

[Edgy MD]

Who is reporting a tear?

[Guest d'Kong76]

No one is reporting that. I think such statements should be backed
up by a link or a quote or not made at all. Jeez, Louise.

[Guest themetfairy]

It's a partial tear....

[ashie62]

The return of Dillon Gee?

Thank you!

[Guest d'Kong76]

I looked at Rotoworld (also NBC) and at 8:24 they said team had
not confirmed, tmf's link update is 8:26, and then RotoWorld at
8:31 said it was confirmed... dizzying.

At least he still has his index finger.

As far as we know....

(And don't ask me why, but I'm totally cracking up over this - thanks.)

[MFS62]

Where is Montero, and what is the timetable for his return?
Still out? Rehabbing?
Please tell us some good news.

On the flip side, that case of pennant fever from April appears to be in remission.

[Edgy MD]

Montero, long-tossing with bullpen scheduled next.

Surgery is scheduled for Saturday.

[Gwreck]

Given the Mets' history with these things and absent proof of life, I presume we never see Matz walk this earth again.

[Guest d'Kong76]

Hopefully he won't become the answer to some trivia question
that no kid will be able to answer thirty years from now.

[Fman99]

Fuck.

[Chad ochoseis]

Damn Wilpons.

[Lefty Specialist]

This is why we're not allowed to have nice things.

[MFS62]

Megdal will tell us that if it weren't for the Bernie Madoff scam, the Wilpons would have had enough money to afford the diagnostic equipment that could have spotted this before it became serious.

This. I can't even.

[MFS62]

In case you didn't read about it, Logan Verrett pitched five shutout innings in a start for Las Vegas last night.
Just saying.

[Edgy MD]

I'm rooting for him.

Tough to complain about Megdal having an agenda if posts here are going to have a preemptive agenda against him.

There's so much to discuss regarding the Mets' injury problems that don't involve proper nouns beginning with "M." (Aside from "Matz")

No it isn't. He actually makes it very easy.

Same feeling here.

[TransMonk]

Bummer for Matz as he made quite the splash in his first couple of starts and seemed to be rolling. I'm hoping he isn't as fragile in the future as his injury history may suggest.

The timing is not great either if the Mets are thinking of moving Niese before the deadline. They could go back to a 5 man rotation or call Gee back up if Niese is dealt. I know Verrett is accumulating a lot of fans based on his small sample size of success over the past few weeks, but I'm not sure I'd rely on him too much as a sixth starter.

[Edgy MD]

I'm a Verrett fan because he finished last season ahead of both Syndergaard and Matz, and while they were coming strong and were perhaps likely to pass him soon enough anyhow, he got waylaid on his Rule V odyssey while they finished up their minor league grind.

The good news � such as it is � is that the nature of six man rotations suggests that the team shouldn't have to rely on anybody too much.

NYM looks kinda lonely with all that empty real estate around it.

I read that. It's not particularly fair.
