OT: MLB Thread XLVII

[NYRKING30]

Don't look now, but McNeil and Conforto are around the corner.

Honestly we needed at least one of Carrasco/Syndergaard to be around the corner.

 

[nyr2k2]

Our guy Barnes was DFAed. And our guy Sean Reid-Foley was brought back up. This...should have happened weeks ago.

Pitchers duel between Peterson and Arrieta of all guys

 

[Crease]

Someone gave May the missing juiced balls.

Unless someone thinks that Dellin Betances is going to come back nasty, the Mets really need another reliever because May has not been good this year.

Something needs to be done about him. He is awful.

Guy hasn't pitched in eleven days

I think if it were up to Rojas, he'd pitch Castro every night. He seems to have little confidence in May, not that May gave him a good outing tonight when he finally got in a game.

 

[nyr2k2]

I haven't watched ESPN other than for live sports in about 20 years. I just saw at the end of the game it went to SportsCenter and it showed Steve Levy and John Anderson and oh my god they both look 80. Do I want to know what Dan Patrick and Kenny Mayne look like? Are they still living?

MLB's sticky substance suspension info
Report: MLB crackdown on illegal substances will include 10-game suspensions for violators starting June 21

Pitchers caught using foreign substances, whether Spider Tack, pine tar or a sunscreen mixture, will receive a 10-game suspension. Said suspension is with pay, but 10 games for a reliever is a big loss. Starters might be able to only miss one start with creative maneuvering, though.

That leaves the Mets and Yanks out.

 

[East Coast Bias]

Going to just start betting overs for a week across the board. See how it goes.

Nothing like a vote of confidence from the GM.

 

[nyr2k2]

Wilson Ramos DFAed. I remember earlier in the year when the Mets were getting killed because of Ramos, Matz, Lowrie, and (randomly) Phil Evans were all doing so well.

 

[Crease]

Wilson grinds his way out of a jam in the first. I think he’ll get settled in as the game goes on.

 

[mrmovies779]

That was a bomb by Sanchez

 

[nyr2k2]

I enjoy watching Mills pitch for the Cubs. Fastball at 90, slider at 80, a f***ing eephus curve in the 60s, etc. It reminds me of baseball 20 years ago.

 

[Crease]

When did Dom Smith become a Gold Glove outfielder?

 

[Blueshirt Believer]

Rojas is seriously going to let May close this!?

Edit: looks like it was a fakeout

 

[sbjnyc]

Marisnick is still a met at heart.

 

[LeetchisGod]

Nothing like a vote of confidence from the GM.

Cashman should throw Boone under the bus to take focus off of his incompetence.

 

[nyr2k2]

Holy f***, that was a crazy finish. Good on Lugo.

Amazing what defense can do. The Mets haven't had defense for a long time. If that was Nimmo throwing into McNeil, tie game.

 

[Crease]

Lugo with a gutsy six out save, and the Mets take the first two against the Cubbies with deGrom on the bump tomorrow.

I played MLB The Show just now and threw a 17K perfect game with deGrom. Maybe it's finally his time.

 

[East Coast Bias]

Thought this was a good thread about the sticky issue for pitchers. He goes into more detail about it without whining like most players have been
