Edgy MD Site Manager Posted October 9, 2015 Author Posted October 9, 2015 I like that bottom line, but he's only got Terry two-thirds correct. His behavior and pronouncements certainly indicate he's going to bat Cuddy over Conforty against lefties.
Lefty Specialist Old-Timey Member Posted October 9, 2015 Posted October 9, 2015 They need to win in four because on October 15th the missus has tickets to the theater-screen rebroadcast of the National Theater Production of Hamlet, starring Benedict Cumberbatch. If there's a game five she'll be torn between her love of Benedict and her love of the Mets.Benedict should be very nervous.
Edgy MD Site Manager Posted October 12, 2015 Author Posted October 12, 2015 Brett Anderson is in his seventh season and his 10 wins for the first place Dodgers are his most since his rookie year with Colorado. Doesn't strike out a lot of dudes, but keeps the ball in the ballpark. So the Mets are probably going to have to knock him out piecemeal, rather than with one big blow. He comes from the left side, so expect to see the Mets return to Michael Cuddyer back in the lineup, his teammate with the 2014 Rockies (though Terry Collins is reportedly "wavering" on this front.Anderson, as you might expect, features a lot of sinking fastballs, and will surprise with sneaky slider when he needs the punch out. He has a curve and a change that he used more earlier in his career, but now are more for show, as the slider has come along as his second pitch.He's been injured a lot, including TJ surgery. He's has been known for superstitions and (surprise) being the son of a coach (Frank Anderson, currently with the University of Houston). He wears a red beard, but unlike some, trims it like a human being. He also thinks suspending Chase Utley is "a joke" and is willing to mix it up with the trolls in defense of that point.[fimg=500]http://cdn.fansided.com/wp-content/blogs.dir/75/files/2015/05/brett-anderson-mlb-colorado-rockies-los-angeles-dodgers1-850x560.jpg[/fimg]Maybe that's his slider grip, but it's weird. It's like a half-knuckler.
Guest LeiterWagnerFasterStrongr Guests Posted October 12, 2015 Posted October 12, 2015 The beard is a little goofy, too. Somewhere between regular beard and prospector beard. Like a half-Grizzly.
Guest John Cougar Lunchbucket Guests Posted October 12, 2015 Posted October 12, 2015 He's going to get his ass kicked.
Benjamin Grimm Old-Timey Member Posted October 12, 2015 Posted October 12, 2015 I hope they beat him twice this evening, so we can end this series before we all go to bed tonight.
