OT: MLB Thread 2024

[Ruggs225]

Mets continue to toy with my heart.

Vientos looks like the real deal at 3B. Curious what the plan is for Baty and Mauricio at this point. They can’t both play 2B. Mauricio is recovering from surgery and won’t be back this season, so more of a next season problem. Baty is smacking the cover off the ball in AAA.

Yes, but i still would be sellers at deadline. We just beat up on bad teams this month. We are a middling team.

Martinez
Marte
mcneill
Severino

All could bring back some pieces.

And then there is alonso who i would trade but i wouldnt be upset if we keep him.

Bring up the kids for aug and sep.

This org needs to think about long term instead of wildcard and out this year.

This was nice, good job by MLB picking the kid to start.

 

[mxyxptlk]

Mets have turned homer happy -- 5 HRs in 5 innings.

 

[17futurecap]

Finally a great Yankees win, DJ in the lead off spot was preposterous though.

The Mets have so much stupid shit, I love it. Grimace. The Rally Pimp. Iglesias and OMG. The f***ing Glizzy Izzy dog.

I love how the Rangers are so prim and proper, bland and stodgy. And at the same time I love that the Mets are basically a constant circus and like a AA franchise.

It must drive Keith bonkers.

Honestly good! Life is suppose to be fun. Being a fan is suppose to be fun. A sports team should be fun. Maybe it verges on cringe sometimes but I'd rather a franchise be fun than uptight, and straightlaced w/an exceptionalism complex like, eh hem, the Yankees....

when I saw a vid of that dog I lost it.

LMAO Holmes

 

[mrmovies779]

That was some hilarious keystones cops shit by Holmes,Volpe and Verdugo in the 9th.Fitting way to go into the ASG

 

[mrmovies779]

Holmes now leads the A.L with 6 blown saves.What year will the brainiacs running the club realize they need a new closer

 

[Machinehead]

"Oh no here he comes" is not the emotion I should have about the team's closer, but also, that was a popup.

 

[17futurecap]

I mean he got 4 outs in the 9th, Volpe can’t handle a ground out and Verdugo does whatever on a 99% catch probability.

Yeah but he can't walk two guys every outing.

 

[17futurecap]

Yeah but he can't walk two guys every outing.

Agreed, and they shouldn’t have a closer that pitches to contact, but that’s a Cashman issue.

 

[17futurecap]

Also, Cashman trading for Donaldson and Verdugo, two guys their teams couldn’t wait to dump is hilarious.

A red flag would be you can’t get along with Alex Cora, who basically gets his teams to play hard every night, and who the Yankees should give any contract he wants this winter to coach this team.

 

[Crease]

Mets finish the first half in WC3. I’ll take it after that start.

 

[mxyxptlk]

Just shows how bad most of the NL is.

 

[will1066]

Iglesias invited to sing OMG at the All-Star Game.

BIG.

[RangerBlues]

The only thing nasty about Nestor is his inability to close out hitters.
Seven of his eight hits were with two strikes. Many of them getting ahead in the count.
Walking Alex Jackson with his meaty .086 BA after being ahead 1-2
And then giving up a HR to him after throwing a first pitch strike and then going full count.
VOMIT!

 

[JimmyG89]

Mets should try and see if they can leave Miami with Scott coming with them. He'd be the perfect back end of the bullpen piece. Would solve two issues, a matchup lefty and a set up guy.

I'd also try and lock him in on a deal, he's young and you don't see too many lefties with his stuff.

https://www.mlb.com/news/luis-severino-yankees-joke-about-subway-series

He's not wrong, right now it's Judge or Soto and not much else. Rice is a fun story. Probably an overlooked piece of their farm. His bat will play. Wells should be playing too.

Mets went with lefty handed pitching for the Yankees series. Clearly planned out that way.

 

[17futurecap]

Every Yankees infielder stinks lol.
