Forecasts for Fifteen: Buddy Carlyle

[Edgy MD]

You weren't looking for anything from him last season, were you? Well, you were WRONG! After kicking Las Vegas' ass to the tune of 33.1 innings over 30 games with a 2.16 ERA, he got a call from the boys in the big city. You know what he did for them? You oughta! He threw 31 more innings over 27 games, posting a 1.45 ERA. That's a bigger workload in terms outs/appearances than your standard ROOGy, isn't it? It is!

The dude whiffed 28 and walked only five. And we're lucky enough to get him back on a minor-league deal? Whose lamp did we rub to get that wish to come true?



I hate that shot. It looks so... Anthony Wiener. Anyhow, how do you think Carlyle will do in 2015? Come to think of it, how do you think Weiner will do?

I think I had a dog named Buddy.

4.50 era.

Last season was a fluke.

They have already changed his uni number, from 44 to 43. Expecting his stats to also go down (that is, get worse) by 1 notch across the board.

So, you know, a 2.45 ERA

more gaps in his major league timeline than you're average Atlanta Braves' fan's mouth, for whom he actually started for in 2007 despite a 5.21 ERA.

284 IP over 8 seasons over 15 years.

Calling it a flash in the pan. 18 IP, 14 K, 5 BB, 6.82 ERA.

Who is the righty, just this side of hefty
Thought he was a lefty, but he's just a guy
And who is this Bud who came from out of nowhere
To retire many a side?

Re-greh-shun.... REGRESSION! REGRESSION!

45 G, 62 IP, 3.58 ERA, 57 K/22 BB, 6 HR allowed

Love the face in the first post, I'll crop it and use it as an
avatar if he does anything for the Mets worth noting in 2015.

Is on the roster more of the season than not. Does a decent job, nothing to brag about. If you have a 12-man pitching staff, there will be times, and some of those times will matter, when you're relying on your 12th-best pitcher.

[Edgy MD]

Folks, I think Buddy Boy is going to make this team.

[Vic Sage]

he did great last year; i've got no problem with Buddy taking a seat in the pen.

Baby, if you've ever wondered,
Wondered whatever became of me,
I'm pitching in the pen in Field of Citi,
Pitching for the Mets. That is me.

Got kind of tired packing and unpacking,
Town to town up and down from the farm,
Maybe you and me were never meant to be,
Just maybe think of me and my right arm.

I'm in the bullpen at Field of Citi...
