  1. Wow, I thought I was the only pessimist regarding expectations for DeGrom. I expect whatever innings the Mets get from DeGrom this season will be of elite quality, but I just don't expect those innings to be very numerous.
  2. =nymr83 post_id=90375 time=1650972232 user_id=54] Sounds like he can workout but still cant throw?
  3. Lugo trying to save it in the bottom of the 10th.
  4. Marte hustles and beats out the grounder to third to get the go ahead run. Speed kills.
  5. Barely awake. I should have gone to bed.
  6. Good pitch by May, even better hitting by walker. 5-4 Mets through 8.
  7. That shift against Lindor is so extreme. Just drop a bunt and take the gift base. A decent bunter (I know, I know, almost nonexistent in today's game) could hit .800 against thaat defensive alignment.
  8. McNeil ranges back to medium right field to make the catch and end the inning. Marte must have been playing on the warning track.
  9. Pete with another ball crushed to the right side to drive ina run.
  10. Nice at bat fro Lindor to bring in the lead run/
  11. more aggressive baserunning by the Mets puts runners on second and third with no outs against Ollie Perez.
  12. I hate late night (WC) starts. At least, it's the weekend. Don't know how long I will last. Let's Go Mets!
  13. Max has the worst WHIP and ERA of the Mets starters, but I love seeing him taking the ball. On top of his unquestionable HOF talent, he is just a great competitor..
  14. =TransMonk post_id=89725 time=1650388876 user_id=71] CHN, CHA, NYN, NYA, etc. make me think of early 90s computer games that had no official MLB affiliations. I've always gone with two letters when abbreviating for the Rays, Royals, Giants and Padres. My abbreviations go: NYM, PHI, WAS, MIA, ATL CHC, MIL, STL, CIN, PIT LAD, SF, SD, ARZ, COL NYY, BOS, TOR, BAL, TB CLE, CHW, DET, MIN, KC HOU, LAA, TEX, SEA, OAK
  15. I would prefer he remain a starter. I think his value is greater as a starter. I personally don't think his risk of injury is any less as a frequently used closer than it is as a starter pitching every 5th game (oh to dream). This last injury occurred while playing catch between appearances, so Jake doesn't have to throwing all out or even off a mound to get hurt. Truthfully, I'm not sure we should count on too many innings out of DeGrom, no matter how he is used. I have no doubt that whatever innings he pitches will be elite, top quality, but I think he is just too fragile to be counted on. I sincerely hope he proves me wrong.
  16. Solid line drive single by Lindor to win it.
  17. I'd let Marte run if he got a good jump.
  18. Mlancon carves them up like a Thanksgiving Turkey. Damn it.
  19. Going to the bottom of the 9th down 3-2. Mets will send Escobar-Cano-Smith to face Arizona RH closer Melancon
  20. KABOOM! Marte makes it a game again.
  21. The coddling of pitchers (particularly starters) is frustrating. Unfortunately, it is the way the game has evolved. Long gone are the days of pitchers going as long as their "stuff" allowed. The sad part, is that for all the pitch (inning) counting and heavy reliance on a squadron of relievers doesn't seem to have prevented injuries either.
  22. Great outing by Carrasco wasted by the bullpen. Hopefully the offense can come to life.
  23. that one sounded good of Pete's bat. Unfortunately, he didn't quite get all of it and it's caught on the warning track to end the inning.
