OT: MLB Thread XLV

[mrmovies779]

Good job Paxton lol

 

[Ghost of jas]

You can’t blame a single guy for this loss but I’m sorry, I don’t want to see Diaz close ever again lol

He gives no one any faith he can get the job done. Give me Lugo and Wilson in the 8th and 9th, and see what Familia and Betances can do. Diaz is too hit or miss.

 

[mrmovies779]

Having Paxton follow Cole makes me miss Tanaka and Severino that much more

 

[LeetchisGod]

Paxton having trouble putting anyone away

That is his m.o. in bad starts. His velocity was also way down compared to last year. Probably not fully recovered from back surgery.

 

[mrmovies779]

Nice job by the rookie King to get out of that allowing only a run.

I noticed that too.his velocity never went over 93 m.p.h

 

[mrmovies779]

This kid Feddie is painting the corners nicely so far

 

[mrmovies779]

Nats have 4 errors so far lol

 

[GoAwayPanarin]

he hasn’t been able to throw at all for a while.

I’d give him another month before sounding the alarm.

 

[Doctyl]

Nice to see MVP Stanton show up

This new extra inning rule gives me something to hate as much as the shootout.

Agreed hate it. At least shootouts are somewhat exciting for the casual fan. Who thought of this extra inning BS?

 

[nyr2k2]

The extra inning thing is dumb and I wouldn't expect it to stick past this season, even though they've previously experimented with it in the minors. I understand why they want it for this year, with the compressed schedule and all. Guys hate 16 inning games in normal times, but in a season like this it can really f*** up your bullpen badly.

 

[Machinehead]

I should be a Citi Field cutout

 

[17futurecap]

Paxton had nothing, hopefully he’s not hurt, and it’s a bad one off, onto tomorrow.

 

[BMOK33]

it’s funny how the advanced metrics actually suggested Diaz was sharper yesterday than he was Friday. Sometimes it’s about luck more than anything else. Freeman and Adams barely missed pitches Friday which were mistakes

regardless, the trade was asinine. The reward for a floundered season was Kelenic. Tossed away for garbage. An 2nd baseman with one foot in the baseball grave who comes off a steroid suspension while a closer should be added as the final piece. Like the Redskins ownership (or whatever they are) the Mets are hopeless.

 

[GoAwayPanarin]

Lugo should probably be closing for the Mets.

Maybe he can't do it, but they should at least try.

 

[Crease]

Closers are like kickers and goalies. Super helpful when you have a good one, but so damn volatile and bad long-term investments. Figure out who in the bullpen can reliably close out a game and run with him until it stops working.

 

[Machinehead]

Weyber Torres

 

[mrmovies779]

Nice win today.Nice job by the b.p.Up next-Phillies

 

[East Coast Bias]

Watching ESPN now pregame. Texiera has the charisma of a school bus fire.

 

[mrmovies779]

Porcello just threw batting practice to the Braves

 

[NYR94]

Mets should try pitching Dr. Fauci can't be worse than Oswalt.

 

[nyr2k2]

Mets should try pitching Dr. Fauci can't be worse than Oswalt.

I couldn't watch yesterday as I was celebrating one of my kid's birthday. I saw we got crushed and checked the box. Seeing that Porcello was slammed was disconcerting. Seeing Oswalt and Sewald got hammered, that was no surprise, as neither are ML-caliber pitchers.

 

[East Coast Bias]

The rotation went from a strength to a weakness real quick. Being down your #2 all season and your #3 to start a short season is rough. Hopefully Stroman comes back soon and they can just keep their head above water till then.

then didn’t hit this weekend at all either. But it’s early.
