capo Posted October 10, 2015 Share Posted October 10, 2015 (edited) The Mets 4 aces can on any given day go out and match the best pitcher's in baseball pitch for pitch. Having 4 of these guys does give you flexibility to deal one. Normally, I would horde these fvckers and not even dream of dealing one but Harvey's antics are a complete distraction to the team. I hope he freaking goes out there and kills it this post season so that SA's phone rings off the hook with unbelievable deals. Like an Orioles deal centered around Adam Jones. A Cubs deal with Russell and others. A pirates deal around McCutcheon. The possibilities are endless with this kind of talent. We could also see a Cespedes or Upton pondering... perhaps Cespedes was the better trade target at the deadline but Upton may be the better longer short-term fit. Upton - 2 years younger, 19 steals this year still has some upswing years left. Coming off this year their cold be a 50 million difference in these two players contracts that probably isn't justified. A perfect world we might have both but our nickel and dime owners aren't going to make a deal for both. It's probably very likely Upton is in NY next year. Either as Met or Yankee. If the Yankees go after Cespedes- Upton will probably certainly be a Met. Edited October 10, 2015 by capo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
'7' Posted October 10, 2015 Author Share Posted October 10, 2015 I would see if we can go down the Blue Jays well one more time. Assuming they don't make a miraculous comeback in their series, Harvey can be like the final piece to their puzzle. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do they even have anyone LEFT to trade for after draining the reserves for Price, Tulo and company? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
capo Posted October 11, 2015 Share Posted October 11, 2015 (edited) Perfect example as to the why Granderson is not an ideal leadoff guy. He gets on and is just sitting at first like an anchor waiting for Wright to do something while Wright kills the momentum and grounds into a dp. That was the situation to bunt him over and get him in scoring position. Not that you're going to bunt Wright but it just goes to show you how stupid the Mets lineup is.

NJDevs4978 Posted October 11, 2015 Share Posted October 11, 2015 (edited) I'd rather not have my #2 hitter bunt and give up an out in the first inning. Edited October 11, 2015 by NJDevs4978 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
capo Posted October 11, 2015 Share Posted October 11, 2015 I'd rather not have my #2 hitter bunt and give up an out in the first inning. I'd like to try and score in every inning. Especially when you know runs are at a premium. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NJDevs4978 Posted October 11, 2015 Share Posted October 11, 2015 (edited) And Conforto begins his playoff career with a bang! In an odd way this kind of reminds me of when Derek Bell started Game 1 of the playoffs in 2000 then he got hurt and Timo Perez exploded onto the scene in Game 2.

capo Posted October 11, 2015 Share Posted October 11, 2015 (edited) Thor getting squeezed. He had both Either and Crawford struck out and pitch 2 to Grandal was a strike Edited October 11, 2015 by capo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NJDevs4978 Posted October 11, 2015 Share Posted October 11, 2015 At this point I'm just hoping for six out of Noah, he's laboring a bit now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NJDevs4978 Posted October 11, 2015 Share Posted October 11, 2015 About sixty pitches through three, though he's showing moxie still keeping that zero on the board. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NJDevs4978 Posted October 11, 2015 Share Posted October 11, 2015 Well now it looks like the roof's caving in, Noah's been dancing around trouble the last three innings. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NJDevs4978 Posted October 11, 2015 Share Posted October 11, 2015 A big thank you to Either for running the Dodgers out of a bigger inning (and great play by Noah too). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
capo Posted October 11, 2015 Share Posted October 11, 2015 Greinke definitely has a little bigger of a strike zone. I've counted 3 batter's that should have been out on strikes which have led to more pitches. One was ethier who then hit rbi double on the next pitch.

NJDevs4978 Posted October 11, 2015 Share Posted October 11, 2015 Jesus David at least try to work the count there, Greinke's right on the edge of his expiration date, but now he might get another inning. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

'7' Posted October 11, 2015 Author Share Posted October 11, 2015 fwiw that pitch to Duda on the strike em out throw em out earlier was ball 4. Shouldve been 1st and 2nd 1 out Greinke should be out of this game by now Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
