Derlique Posted October 28, 2015 Share Posted October 28, 2015 I get Cueto has been largely terrible as a Royal, but it is Johnny Cueto. Guy has been one of the best pitchers in baseball the last 5 years. The Mets obviously have the advantage tonight, but I dont think anyone should be shocked if Cueto gives you a line like 7IP 2ER.

Yeah it kind of scares me that Cueto's not really a 9 ERA pitcher the way he has been in the playoffs though he HAS largely been bad as a Royal so it'd be nice if we could put up a crooked number at some point.

This is true plus as we all know have tendencies to go on streaks where they can turn every pitcher they face into Cy Young candidates. Just as the Devils can turn any goalie into Jaques Plante.

capo Posted October 28, 2015 Share Posted October 28, 2015 So... Salvador Perez was caught with pine tar on his shin guard last night... when it was brought up to Ned Yost he said it's not illegal for a catcher to have its illegal for the pitcher. Makes a little sense as to why Chris Cy Young was unfucling hittable last night. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Makes a little sense as to why Chris Cy Young was unfucling hittable last night. Apparently it's a non-story and every catcher literally uses pine tar...of course you know if this were a certain NFL coach he'd be the first one to have catchers use it to put pine tar on the ball specifically for the pitcher Adam Rubin @AdamRubinESPN 9m9 minutes ago Terry Collins says every catcher in baseball has pine tar on catching equipment. Says it's for catcher, not to transfer to pitcher. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Says it's for catcher, not to transfer to pitcher. This doesn't sound right... Matt Cerrone says he was contact with former catchers and they said it was illegal. Maybe the Mets are posturing to catch them in the act. Using pine tar on the ball is illegal so if TC is saying that because the Mets are doing too than it doesn't make it any better. That's like saying some cheating is ok and some isnt. That's ridiculous. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NJDevs4978 Posted October 29, 2015 Share Posted October 29, 2015 lol if Cueto's going to get that strike zone he might throw a no-hitter. Murphy basically got strikes called at his anke and at his neck. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
'7' Posted October 29, 2015 Author Share Posted October 29, 2015 Strike zone looks a bit better to Cesp 2nd inning. 2 clear balls outside...surprise surprise, called balls. What I'm worried about is the Royals making contact early on against deGrom. He's not missing bats. I know they dont strike out much but...deGrom has to miss SOME bats. All 3 first inning hitters made solid contact to the outfield Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Colorado Rockies 1976 Posted October 29, 2015 Share Posted October 29, 2015 Is it me or is Harold Reynolds' voice not really suited to color commentary? d'Arnaud...argh. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
'7' Posted October 29, 2015 Author Share Posted October 29, 2015 D'Arnaud...hate how he reaches for that outside pitch and pulls it to the left side. Looks like he's trying to hit into double play Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NJDevs4978 Posted October 29, 2015 Share Posted October 29, 2015 Well they're probably going to have to win a 2-1 game since the offense is still comatose. And they better get the two off Cueto, they might not score off this Royals pen the entire series (how are they still this good WITHOUT Holland?!)

'7' Posted October 29, 2015 Author Share Posted October 29, 2015 Conforto with the best AB of the night and still goes down fishing. The offense is dead. This is shaping up to be a 2-0 loss.
