KTE thread. IGT is up. Thank you

Rich Hill and Tylor Meatball Megill Lineup to come TYLORD

You saw the Mets in Detroit and now in Pittsburgh. You are putting the M in mobile

With Pete down there are opportunities for others

With Pete out, possibly for a good while you could do a makeover of sorts here Take the opportunity to promote Mauricio and inject some youth and speed. If he becomes overwhelmed so be it. The Reds are doing this to good effect of late. Mauricio at second and McNeil in left. It could help to jumpstart a turnaround

Are we sure Pete did not break his wrist? It looked horrible when it happened and a result less than a break is a sigh of relief I see Dicomo is suggesting an absence of weeks now

The Mets take on the Pirates for three this weekend Pitching matchups are Tylor Megill 4.40 era whip 1.62 v Rich Hill 4.41 1.38 Kodai Senga 3.75 1.44 v Johan Oviedo 4.29 1.48 Carlos Carrasco 5.94 1.40 v Mitch Keller 1.16 The Pirates are 32-29 one game back and 16-15 at home. They come off losing two of three to the A's Improvement The NL central is quite middling at the moment but the Pirates have played well. They started strong in step with Tampa Bay. A slump ensued and of late had won six in a row before losing to Oakland Catalysts Speed The Pirates 68 stolen bases are best in the NL with Bae leading with 18 Mitch Keller Rather unexpected but Keller is playing the role of ace here. He has 94 K's in 74 innings and pitches to a 3.10 Era and a very good 1.16 whip Jack Suwinski He is the top power guy with 11 hrs. Pirates are excited that he has lowered his chase rate and increased his barrels by significant amounts. Ke'bryan Hayes has stayed healthy at 3B Who needs Cruz? Oneil that is. Arguably their top talent. The 6'7 SS broke a leg a in a home plate collision in April and is expected back in August. The Pirates have played well without him with Jae Won Bae and Rodolfo Castro stepping in here Brian Reynolds Signed long term and the face of the franchise. He leads the team with 38 Rbis Help in the way? That would be 2021 1st round draft pick catcher Henry Davis who plays everyday at AAA and the Pittsburgh Gazette feels he should be called up now Weak division, newly good team on the upswing

I have focused too much on fixing the offense. The pitching is bad from top to bottom and hard to address until the trade deadline Too many players on the wrong side of 30, which is why I advocate promoting Mauricio when possible Yesterday was not the first time Marte let a ball get behind he nor is he alone. Are the unforced errors a symptom of a team that is not prepared to play 30-33. Can they go 60-39 to get to 90 wins??

They are going to have to make significant changes and hope it at least gets better The heat seat is plugged in Buck

Alvarez a homer every 10 at bats or so

Nice to see Baty ticking up

He's pitch counting his way to an early hook

We've got a slugfest

Hitting coach is ecstatic, job security

NIMMO BOOM

Verlander with the every other bad start on cue

Buck, they are unprepared to play

Marte wtf

WTF

Motherf**ker Verlander is the one who bites

Craptastic, Acuna double

Alvarez saw a ghost

Play ball in three minutes 2 1 Homerun Nimmo

He has hit for cycle over three days and stole a base today Elly DC Matt McClain Stephen Steer are the Reds core now

I see Russo in the afternoons on MLB network far from being on Long Island
