Colorado Rockies 1976 Posted July 15, 2016 Author Share Posted July 15, 2016 Heh heh, priceless, hilarious. Niese has been astoundingly bad in his last six starts (one of them was actually not terrible): 30.2 IP (pitched 6 IP just once), 49 H, 27 ER, 8 HR, 12 BB, 22 K, 1.99 WHIP, 7.92 ERA Niese was prone to slumps here too, but this is definitely "Get him out of the rotation" bad...of course, in maddening Niese fashion, that's when he usually suddenly puts together a solid 5-6 start run. But suffice it to say NO ONE is picking up his option this season. He'll be a free agent, and he'll get a one-year, low cost "show me" deal.

NJDevs4978 Posted July 15, 2016 Share Posted July 15, 2016 btw Gurriel to the Astros for 5 years, $47.5 million, not that I was ever expecting we'd sign him but I wouldn't have really wanted to sign him to that deal anyway. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Colorado Rockies 1976 Posted July 15, 2016 Author Share Posted July 15, 2016 Mets definitely don't have the finances to take a risk like that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
'7' Posted July 15, 2016 Share Posted July 15, 2016 Oh no. Definitely not. At 32 (and possibly older) no way in hell am I giving him 5 years 9mil+. That's outrageous. If he busts we'd cripple ourselves financially. No way for a guy who's never had a major league at bat. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
'7' Posted July 16, 2016 Share Posted July 16, 2016 Colon has looked good through 4. Low pitch count too. But Hellickson has completely befuddled our offense. No Cespedes once again, though he should be available to PH if necessary. Hopefully Ces can start tomorrow This seems like a game where we can't get the extra runs we need and Philly scores some late runs to win.

Colorado Rockies 1976 Posted July 16, 2016 Author Share Posted July 16, 2016 Suddenly in some trouble. Scary mostly because of the ballpark. Can be 3-1 before you know it. Agree '7', get the feeling the pitching staff will be tasked with making a 1-0 lead stand. They enjoyed that little burst, but that's been the exception lately.

Colorado Rockies 1976 Posted July 16, 2016 Author Share Posted July 16, 2016 Echo Keith's sentiments on Niese...was surprised that the Pirates' GM would say what he did publicly about a player. But no way would I take him back even if it was almost for free. The guy has almost no guts and is just not a winner. Interesting that he lost his spot in the rotation...he was definitely pitching badly enough for that to happen. If he was here, he probably would've gotten another month. Nice Citizens Bank Park-aided HR for Walker. Just hope Mets fans realize that Walker has done a fine job being Walker. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
'7' Posted July 16, 2016 Share Posted July 16, 2016 sh!t. Colon can't pull down the throw at 1st and the Phillies immediately strike with an rbi triple. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

'7' Posted July 16, 2016 Share Posted July 16, 2016 That error wrecked the entire inning and game. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Colorado Rockies 1976 Posted July 16, 2016 Author Share Posted July 16, 2016 And here comes useless Dan Warthen. What are you going to say that's of any consequence Dan? Colon has gotten some rotten breaks this inning for sure. Seeing eye bullsh!t grounder and now a bloop. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
'7' Posted July 16, 2016 Share Posted July 16, 2016 Ugh. How the fvck do you just crumble after 1 error and let this impotent Phillies lineup back into the game. 4-3 now and here comes Robles....due for a bad outing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

'7' Posted July 16, 2016 Share Posted July 16, 2016 That's a little early for Colon. That was a dunker. And his pitch count is in the 70s. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NJDevs4978 Posted July 16, 2016 Share Posted July 16, 2016 Well the triple was bad but yeah it just seemed like one of those innings where nothing was going to go right for Colon after the error, like the goaltender who manages to get beat on every weird deflection and screened shot.

Colorado Rockies 1976 Posted July 16, 2016 Author Share Posted July 16, 2016 (edited) Damn this team and its inability to put the fvcking ball in play. C'mon Neil! Another Met surprise...praying for a walk on 3-2 and striking out. Edited July 16, 2016 by Colorado Rockies 1976 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
'7' Posted July 16, 2016 Share Posted July 16, 2016 Garbage call to Walker. That was ball 4. Two inches outside Too close to take? Yea...but we would've had bases loaded two out. Awful awful "strike" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Terry pulling someone at 76 is very strange to see...but we're gonna need Bartolo down the stretch so maybe this was Sandy's edict not to burn him out.

'7' Posted July 16, 2016 Share Posted July 16, 2016 And another ridiculous break for the Phillies on the Ryan Howard no mans land "hit". Howard literally runs like Andre The Giant. (He doesnt) Jason Phillips may beat him in a foot race Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well he's basically managing this one like a playoff game. And honestly they kind of do need to win this game after their terrible finish to the first half, Nats already have another win in the bank.

How about if we were giving them back Bastardo lol...I've seen that one floated on NYFS, we'd have to kick in money though since Bastardo has another year left on his deal (at $6.5 million at that, yuck).
