OT: MLB Thread Part XXVIII: Vote Starlin Castro for the ASG

[MysticLeviathan]

Gary's terrible defense pays off

 

[Leetch3]

The Mets signed 3rd round pick, Matt Allan, a player expected to be a 1st round selection that fell to the 3rd, due to signability issues. They got the three big fish they wanted - Allan, Brett Baty and Josh Wolf.

look forward to seeing all 3 get traded this winter for another washed up brodie client

The life of a Met fan.

Gary's terrible defense pays off

His defense is vastly improved so far this year.

[LeetchisGod]

Another guy whose Yankee career is off to a disappointing start.

@darko pls

Just threw up in my mouth.

He was going top-10 if it wasn't for signability issues. Arguably the best pitcher in the draft. This is a big get.

Again? You should get a gastroenterologist to look at that.

If i was there I'd piss on that cup.

Rude. Now everyone but Man City has to wash their hands.

While the Wilpons remain in charge, I'm having a really difficult time getting excited about these kinds of things.

Can't say I blame you.

The entire Mets bullpen could take the mound and throw at the same time and the opposing batter would still rope every single pitch

Every single pitch but one. One of them would be a HBP prompting Kapler to get thrown out of the game.

Familia would probably prevent a run by accidentally throwing a ball behind him, colliding with one of the other ones.

 

[BMOK33]

Why in the world was Vargas taken out of that game with 77 pitches? I continue to he amazed they haven’t fired Callaway

It feels more frustrating than ever. Don’t know why.

This is a really likable team. With the exception of Cano. McNeil, Alonso, Smith, Conforto, Nimmo. Had a good solid core there. Totally wasting it away as usual.

 

[Machinehead]

People are getting on Vargas for yelling at Callaway.

Vargas is a nice guy for just yelling at him. I would have f***ing slapped him.

It's not a good look.

 

[Machinehead]

I get that. But still, what even is Callaway?

Taking a guy out at 77 pitches to go to that bullpen is like leaving your studio apartment because it's too small and moving into a f***ing toaster.

I like the way europeans spell europeens.

He knows what he's doing just like Phil Jackson.

Watching him this season, and tying together some of the recent news, I don't think he's making any of these decisions.

That's why you're seeing him blow up lately. Pure frustration for taking bullets on stuff he's not doing.

I'm not saying it as a defense of his managing. He's a bad manager. I just think there's more to it than we realized.
