OT: MLB Thread 2024

Infield D has fallen apart the last couple games

 

[will1066]

Ball has to be hard as a rock in this weather

 

[will1066]

He didn't cut down at all there!

LMAO

Alvarez is a 0 at the plate right now

Alvarez is a 0 at the plate right now

I'd be thinking about swapping him and the DH spot, get him out of the 9th spot. Guys in front of him are getting on base for him to do absolutely nothing.

Was hoping against hope that he'd do something with the bases loaded and of course he launches his bat into the stratosphere first pitch.

They should've declared him out right there.

 

[majordomo]

I don't know why he swings for the fences on every pitch.

 

[will1066]

I didn't need to see Mr Met standing behind Mrs Met like that

 

[Brutananadilewski]

God told me that NY was going to win.

...And the Liberty won....

SON OF A BITCH! WRONG TEAM, LORD!!

 

[jerseyjinx94]

This is going either 5 or 7

Some good news: Bruins are beating the Avs 4-1. Suckiev let in 2 goals in 13 seconds.

Avs fans have better material against him. They call him Fourgiev.

Just a not very competitive game by the Mets.

Two games where they were spanked. That's a good team over there in the other dugout. No easy outs in their lineup unlike Alvarez and Alonso. We beat up on their B-pen and have done nothing against their A-pen and starters. Getting aggravated by Alonso taking first pitch fastballs down the middle.

 

[Crease]

I can give Pete a pass because he is a major reason why they got this far.

Alvarez, Iglesias and Martinez need to sit. They are automatic outs and have been for a while now. Torrens, McNeil/Acuna and Winker should be getting more reps.

I get that. Huge franchise moment. But can't ignore that he's done very little otherwise. Iglesias lost some of his plate discipline but he's fine I think. They play him shallow opposite field, so he might have to start pulling the ball.

 

[Takeahnase]

Acuna has played like this stage and the pressure cooker of the Lindor back / WC race had no effect, probably because he’s too young to feel anything but invincible. I’d like to see him or McNeill get AB’s. Iglesias swings at pitches in a different area code recently.

Looks to me like Iglesias is "free swinging" and he's been fooled on those low, sinking pitches -- looks totally undisciplined. As I mentioned earlier, Alvarez is going for fences every time he swings. And for someone who purportedly is a great fastball hitter, Alonso lets a lot of "right down broadway" pitches go by..

 

[Bob Richards]

Martinez sucks. I straight up don’t want to see him anymore period. Is Winker hurt? I still don’t understand why he wasn’t in yesterday. I’d prefer his lefty bat.
