    That may drive the Mets into the LOOGy market in the next week, then. Sort of surprised we haven't seen Rice or Below.

    Colon 2015 is a lot like Colon 2014, even if we can't agree on what he is. He's remarkable, if not remarkably good. That walkless streak was the death of him. It's like he started getting tighter and tighter to sustain it, and then BAM! they turned on him. Hey, look at that crazysocks lineup sharpie just posted. I wonder what our real lineup is going to look like.

    I got a notion last night that if the Mets are going to do this, maybe they should call up Tajeiron as well, and start them off as a platoon, taking some of the pressure off of any one of them.

    Terry Collins says he is to blame for Wednesday�s loss Terry Collins took full responsibility for Wednesday�s loss to the Nationals, while talking to reporters after the game. �That�s all on me, that�s not on Bobby Parnell,� he said. Collins said he should have had closer Jeurys Familia warming up in the bullpen sooner than he did, so he could have turned to him for more than a three-out save. Instead, Collins stuck with his primary setup man, Parnell, who failed to hold a two-run lead in the eighth inning. Familia pitched one inning the night before with the Mets up five runs in the ninth inning. �It�s a big loss for us,� Collins concluded.

    There is no doubt that Parnell blew it. Let it be known in the valleys. And let it spread to the mountain tops. The idea is that there is always X amount of pitchers who aren't going to have it on any given day, and so the fewer the number of pitchers you need to turn a game situation over to, the better the odds are for you. And Terry, agreed, blew it by not hooking Parnell earlier. But he makes it ever-harder on himself to go to Plan B when Plan A involves four guys to get four innings. That's an insult to Andy Hassler.
  7. Edgy MD
    No, I'm more than happy with Familia going for a multi-inning save. Same thing. It's all about getting shorter. Needing four good pitchers instead of five. Three good pitchers instead of four. Two good pitchers instead of three.
  8. Edgy MD
    Basically, Terry, what you're asking for is four saves in a row from four separate guys.

    The Handoff Strategy of reliever use is too often a recipe for disaster. They should call it the Russian Roulette Strategy.
  10. Edgy MD
    Sad.
  11. Edgy MD
    Terry is dancing with dynamite today. Stretch your relievers, man. They spent their whole lives pitching multiple innings.
  12. Edgy MD
    Man we hit the pen early today.

    Good Kirk!!! [fimg=450:19umcjiw]http://vignette2.wikia.nocookie.net/memoryalpha/images/c/c2/James_Kirk's_evil_counterpart.jpg/revision/latest?cb=20110413183816&path-prefix=en[/fimg:19umcjiw]

    Two on and two out. Time for good Kirk to defeat evil Kirk.

    Never played for the Mets. Never played for the Expos. Also never dated Jan Brady. Don't know how my lying eyes missed that card.

    Not only did Matt Bowman pitch the game of his career (two-hit, complete-game shutout) as mentioned in the Zobrist thread, but Brooks Conrad did something remarkable as well: [list:204bl8dz][*:204bl8dz]In the second, inning, he doubled.[/*:m:204bl8dz] [*:204bl8dz]In the fourth, he hit a solo homer to right.[/*:m:204bl8dz] [*:204bl8dz]In the bottom of the sixth, he hit an RBI triple to right.[/*:m:204bl8dz] [*:204bl8dz]In the eighth, he came up needing just a single to complete the cycle, and seemingly had it when he Baltimore chopped a hard shot over the first baseman. But he had the moral courage to say "nitz to history," and instead dug for second without hesitation.[/*:m:204bl8dz][/list:u:204bl8dz] Cycle shmycle. In a 4-0 game, he was pretty much a one-man wrecking crew.

    Frayed Knot wrote: '7th best on the Mets among 'X' ABs or more' (is that really a good thing?), or 'among the best over the last 18 days' Yeah, I was asking that same thing. Seventh best among Mets who get to the plate. Whoopdy doo. But I don't think this is something that's used when convenient. The Mets have demonstrated an almost intractable willingness to stick to their guns and to their metrics in the face of ALL (at this point, anyhow) external evidence. Their data is the hill this leadership team has chosen to die on.

    A crazy article on the economic philosophies that have allowed the Mets to remain bullish, even as they sit at the bottom of the league offensively, even as they send Eric Campbell up to pinch-hit in a game situation for a star pitcher who is out-performing him at the plate, at least by traditional measures. Not everyone places value in these statistics, of course, but Long and the Mets do. He keeps his own internal log of hard-hit balls, deviating some from publicly accessible data. Exit velocity, a measure in which Campbell ranks seventh on the Mets this season for all batters who have had at least 75 at-bats, according to baseballsavant.com, is relevant. It allows the Mets to maintain some level of bullishness about this season. That even as their offense sputters and runs remain hard to attain, they are buoyed by a hard-hit rate that leads all of baseball and the idea that luck will eventually come around.

    Matt Bowman goes out and pitches a two-hitter tonight against the Fresno Grizzlies. "Trade me for a glorified utility man, will you?!"
