OT: MLB Thread XLVII

[Ruggs225]

So let's see the Mets are in first place, the sky isn't falling afterall, Conforto is slowly but surely starting to come out of his slumber and the Met pitching which has carried us so far, has been phenomenal so far after 11 games.

Now once Lindor, Pete, Dom and McNeil start to hit....look out NL cause the Mets are going to be lethal!!

once they start to hit our pitching staff will forget how to pitch.

we never get nice things

Lindor is lucky as shit that the pitching has been good.

 

[NYR94]

Yeah, the Mets pitching has been superb. I think their starting pitching has the 2nd lowest ERA in the league right now. If the pitching stays good and the bats start heating up, they'll be in less nail biters. Even going to Colorado wasn't enough to jump start the Mets offense. And to think this team still hasn't seen Carrasco, Lugo and Syndergaard yet.

Agreed tho it's just a matter of time before he and a few others I mentioned start getting hot...they are to good not to.

That would be a very Met thing to occur for sure. Met depth both pitching and hitting wise is much better than in the past and so I think we'll be just fine when all is said and done!

And like NYR94 astutely said...we haven't even seen Noah, Carassco and Lugo yet.

 

[East Coast Bias]

Oh for sure. But after the 341m man in the offseason, he isn't going to have the give other guys will if he struggles

 

[Maximus]

Agreed again...we are on same page. Lindor will hit and he'll go en fuego..it's just a matter of when!

 

[nyr2k2]

Even if they keep winning, I think he has about 2 more weeks, tops, before he starts hearing it. It won't be bad at first, but if he's doing this in a month, he's going to be quite miserable.

 

[nyr2k2]

The Mets need to dump Chili Davis. I don't even blame him for everything, you know, but sometimes you gotta make a move to shake things up. Give him until the middle of May or something.

Your probably right...Lindor likely has another 10 days or so before he starts hearing shit. He's been abysmal thus far with the bat tho his glove has been stupendous. We aren't paying him 340 mill tho to just be stellar with the glove. Hopefully he snaps out of his funk but quick!!

 

[Hunter Gathers]

Re Stroman, any Met who loves being a Met is okay in my book.

He needs to be extended.

 

[Maximus]

Lindor read our bitching. I knew he followed us here as he hits first homer as a Met.

Maybe now he'll wake the F up!

 

[Bob Richards]

what the f*** am i watching lol

 

[Greg02]

My bad, guys. I made the mistake of thinking about how Peterson has looked good since his trainwreck to start the year, and immediately whatever that was happened.

to be fair to him, he didn’t throw the ball around the field like little leaguers. His defense screwed him

 

[East Coast Bias]

Alonso just hit that about 500 feet. Launched.

 

[Greg02]

I don't blame him. I just shouldn't have jinxed it by thinking something positive.

 

[Bob Richards]

I'm going to have an aneurysm

 

[Greg02]

This is SO Mets

 

[Bob Richards]

The Mets have numbed me to a lot in my life but this game is honestly something else lmfao

 

[NYSPORTS]

 

[Machinehead]

At least the Mets scored some runs

 

[East Coast Bias]

Getting swept by this shitty ass Cubs team is not ideal. This team can’t hit for their life

 

[Maximus]

Shitty loss. 1st time all year I'm actually a bit pissed. The Rangers loss and now this. We should have won this one a few times.

Oh and this putting a runner on 2nd base to start extra innings is the worst rule implemented in any sport ever in history...it's so god damn stupid. OK rant over!

 

[Bob Richards]

Runner on 2nd rule is great. Very few people want to watch a 4, 5, 6 hour game. Viewership goes way down at that point since the games stretch into the late night. Long extra inning games are terrible for the bullpens. They are terrible for the players since several often get set down to the minors next day so they can bring up new arms. Bad for the catchers since the backup will 100% play the next game. There is really no reason to have games that can run that long except for the old "it's always been done that way" logic.

I don't know what happened, but I'm coming around on it. I used to hate it and now I'm more indifferent to it lol.

Honestly if I had to watch the Mets and Cubs try to score on each other in an 18 inning game I might have run into the NJ Turnpike.
