OT: MLB Thread XLVII

[Machinehead]

He couldn't get 6-9 out, so he should be fine pitching to Altuve!

 

[NYR94]

I don't think asking the Mets bullpen to be able to beat the soft-hitting Pirates is too much to ask when the team gets 5 runs for them, but it was.

 

[Machinehead]

Boone has no faith in Chapman right now and its hurting the rest of the pen

He had faith in Chapman to pitch to Alvarez in a 1-0 game over Cole pitching a masterpiece, but not to pitch to the bottom of the lineup in a 7-4 game over a guy giving up rockets every pitch?

 

[17futurecap]

Especially after, you know, Green faced his three batters and they were all hitting sonic booms off of him.

Literally, how did he think that inning would end?

It's not like Green gave up bloopers or walked guys. He was throwing batting practice. Was he suddenly going to stop doing that?

Yea, like I don’t even blame Green really. He’s been so good, but been run into the ground since Chapman became a mess. The manger just sitting there after he couldn’t get anyone out from the bottom of the order was rough.

Welcome to group therapy. I'm Machinehead, and I have a bullpen problem.

Yeah, I can't kill Green. Some days, you come in and throw muffins. It happens to every pitcher. The manager needs to realize it and act.

And I don't wanna hear about he had nobody else or doesn't trust Chapman. It literally couldn't have been worse. It's like when AV used to play Tanner Glass every night because "we know what he brings" over an unknown that couldn't possibly be worse.

He was never bringing in Chapman in any game this series.You are fooling yourself if you think he was.Its obvious he doesnt trust him right now in big spots.I think he should have still brought him in to start the 9th with a 5 run lead.Cant coddle this guy forever.

He was warming up last night when Cole practically had to threaten Boone's life to stay in the game.

I know,but i really dont think he had any intention in bringing him in

So that meeting on mound was for tv?

Oh and Fire Cashman.

The Mets just tripped over themselves running to the podium to pick Rocker

 

[East Coast Bias]

LFG

 

[nyr2k2]

Super psyched about getting Kumar Rocker at 10. Takes some of the sting out of today's loss, knowing you were able to add that arm to the system.

 

[Ben Grimm]

We got the Rocker!

 

[NYRKING30]

Ahh at least we don’t have Brodie to go and trade rocker for Albert Pujols.

 

[Leetch3]

Conforto needed that HR so badly lol

Great start

will he get a new contract to get a chance to keep climbing up the list?

 

[Crease]

I know Shea and Citi were never hitters’ parks but that all-time home run leader list is pretty depressing. Lucas Duda at 7 lol.

Yeah the Mets have been pathetic at developing position players. Someone said on Twitter last night that Conforto was the best position player the Mets had developed since David Wright debuted. I mean you can maybe make a case for Nimmo but either way that's ridiculous.

Gotta be Daniel Murphy.

 

[nyr2k2]

Gotta be Daniel Murphy.

Yeah that's probably it. Conforto should end up better but as things stand, it would be Murphy today. Any way you look at it though we're talking about a guy with 23 career bWAR.

 

[Machinehead]

Really excited to see the Yankees pick the next guy they'll never move or use and then shrug when he's 26.

 

[RangerBlues]

I got nothing on Trey Sweeney.
Hes left handed. Excellent!

 

[nyr2k2]

I remember when even the first round of the MLB draft was pretty rapid-fire. And then later rounds you'd get an audio feed of the conference call where teams were just reading out names of guys no one had ever heard of.

shame Jeff Wilpon and Brody aren’t around to trade him for Pujols.

Surprised he dropped.
