[majordomo]

Wow -- a complete game...what year is this again?

I always knew Peterson had it in him. Development is rarely a straight line.

Peterson impressive as hell last night. Mets entire pitching rotation been impressive, they have lowest era in mlb right now. Check out Kodai Senga, pitched 12 starts and allowed only 12 earned runs so far this season with era of 1.59.

Whatever Hefner and Stearns are doing with the pitchers is revolutionary. Mendoza deserves a ton credit too on the human side.

Peterson is such a weapon. We've seen him alternate between a top of the rotation starter and a shutdown reliever in the playoffs over the past year. So valuable to what the Mets are trying to accomplish.

Sucks about Senga. Hopefully it's not too bad. Deja vu.

IDK why they went to Stanek. Brazoban threw like 10 pitches, let him close it out.

Didn't see it but read the overview and thought "Yeah, that's Alonso. Killing pitchers with his tosses to 1st."

Watch the guilt send him into an offensive tailspin.

The Senga injury doesnt look too bad. He walked off the field and down the stairs into the dugout. He had a good outing up until the injury. The 9th inning was a nail biter, luckily Diaz got his pitches in the strike zone finally at the end.

Oh god no

Senga heading to the IL.

 

[nyr2k2]

At least the Mets have Manaea and Montas on the way back and Blackburn already here. Not that any of them can replace Senga but between the three you should be able to at least get some pretty consistent quality starts.

 

[Crease]

The new model is having 7-8 arms that can give you a quality start on any given afternoon.

I'm so skeptical about pitch count limits. They pitch less frequently with fewer pitches and get injured more, and somehow the magic number is 100.

Orel Hershiser had an interesting comment that pitcher injuries are really coming from the practice being too hard now. Everything is measured now and every day they are coached to change grips and release points to try and achieve an aspirational vertical and horizontal break for each pitch type.

Top of the 8th at Fenway in under two hours, the rivalry has never been more cooked.

Edit: counter point, Aaron Judge
