OT: MLB Discussion Thread Part XXVI: Batteries Reporting

[Machinehead]

There's no reason for this game to be delayed. It's a light mist.

 

[Krams]

Pump the brakes, Dad

 

[Krams]

Wheeler trying to shake off the cobwebs, still hitting 98-99 on the radar gun

 

[AIexisLafreniereNYR]

Mickey Calloway should not be managing an MLB team. All he does is over manage. We should be looking to sweep but rests our two best hitter after one game? You rest them tomorrow against the Marlins. Regardless of that the Mets have bailed him out the first two games.

 

[sbjnyc]

Resting McNeil, a lefty, vs Corbin, one of the best lefties in the game, is not a problem for me.

 

[RGY]

And here we go again.

Get Gardner off this f***ing team

[LeetchisGod]

And here we go again.

Get Gardner off this ****ing team

Should have never been brought back. The guy is finished.

 

[RGY]

Should have never been brought back. The guy is finished.

The fact that he is batting leadoff is even more infuriating.

I dont care that its game 3 but its shit like this that makes me have little faith in Boone who had no managerial experience before this.

 

[RGY]

Gardner kills another inning.

Yea definitely not worth letting Frazier work through his struggles over watching this junk from Gardner. Trash hitter

 

[mrmovies779]

Yankees have missed some very juicy pitches so far.

 

[BMOK33]

Resting McNeil, a lefty, vs Corbin, one of the best lefties in the game, is not a problem for me.

Corbin is overrated and had one good season, that contract will be an albatross before it’s over. I told yankees fans tocbe glad when they missed on him. Even today against a meh lineup he pitched to a 1.40 WHIP and half the lineup had never faced him before. If you ask me Ron Darling’s argument that Wheeler, Corbin, and Arrieta decide this division is very logical. All three teams have fairly poor to so-so 4 and 5 starters but above average to great 1 and 2s. There’s a solid chance those guys will determine in 25-30 starts the 5 game margin it will take to win the division

 

[sbjnyc]

Sure I don't disagree but I don't mind resting lefties against tough lefties. I'm not interested in resting everyone against the Marlins. Mets went 12-7 against them not 19-0. That said imdont like resting Ramos either. Then again I don't understand why Nido is even on the team.

 

[Leetch3]

Fun fact McNeil will only learn to hit lefties by hitting against lefties

 

[mrmovies779]

Andujar just saved a double there.nice play.

I didn’t know this but I think the most games Ramos has ever played is like 115 and keep in mind probably a bunch of those weren’t starts. That said there’s no reason to rest him this soon.

 

[Machinehead]

LeMahieu is bae

 

[Machinehead]

Getting shut down by the bullpen of a 115 loss team. Nice.

 

[RGY]

We didnt need Harper...

 

[JESSEWENEEDTOCOOK]

Getting shut down by the bullpen of a 115 loss team. Nice.

We can only pray they end up going Major League on everyone to spare us from embarrassment

 

[Machinehead]

Yankees have left like 94 runners on base through 2+ games.

New year, same Yankees.

 

[Machinehead]

Sanchez got even fatter

 

[JESSEWENEEDTOCOOK]

omg gary did it!

 

[Machinehead]

And in his defense, that homerun almost traveled his weight.
