'7' Posted August 12, 2016 Share Posted August 12, 2016 Verrett is now 0-8 since late April with an era around 7. He is not a major leaguer and should be cut on the field. This is his last inning as a Met I hope. Ever. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NJDevs4978 Posted August 12, 2016 Share Posted August 12, 2016 Watch the rain hold off long enough to be down 11-0 after five innings. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
'7' Posted August 12, 2016 Share Posted August 12, 2016 Isnt it interesting how after Verrett loaded the bases the next Padre hitter didnt swing at the first garbage ball 1 and ground into a DP as the Mets are mandated to do Interesting how hitters with a brain approach hitting. It's almost as if they are selective. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Colorado Rockies 1976 Posted August 13, 2016 Author Share Posted August 13, 2016 Dead team walkin. Just an awful year for this franchise. And sorry Logan, but that's all. If he gets another start, then Terry is full of sh!t. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NJDevs4978 Posted August 13, 2016 Share Posted August 13, 2016 At least they're showing a pulse tonight, somehow getting it back to 8-6 though this is probably another big tease. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NJDevs4978 Posted August 13, 2016 Share Posted August 13, 2016 (edited) Mets bullpen retires 19 in a row lol...honestly they might be better off going by committee once every five days rather than anoiting another crap fifth starter, just let Robles and Lugo pitch the first 5-6 innings and go from there. Of course after the game Terry predictably says Niese gets the next start Edited August 13, 2016 by NJDevs4978 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Colorado Rockies 1976 Posted August 13, 2016 Author Share Posted August 13, 2016 Wow Terry...how creative. But that's the "might as well, by the numbers" move I guess. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seriously...THIS would be such a Met loss. But these days the only way the Mets can't lose a game is 10-9, and that's only cause the last time they scored nine runs was probably when Delgado and Beltran were in the middle of the order.

Yea that is a bit irritating, but they are still fairly talented even after the sellout, and they are getting guys playing at or above expectations. But their run differential is like -21, so they are probably lucky too, but they win series against good teams. Giants, Orioles, Indians, Sox...2 of 3 all the time. They see a lot of Toronto/Seattle/Baltimore the rest of August. September is a VERY hard month for the Yankees so it wouldn't shock me if they went into a bit of a slump.

NJDevs4978 Posted August 14, 2016 Share Posted August 14, 2016 And the boos were REAL loud for Familia coming off the field, though I suspect they're at the team in general for somehow failing to win a game on the homestand. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He deserves them. This whole team deserves every drop of scorn. I have never seen so many players historically underperform plus the bad injury luck plus the unclutch hitting. Hitting so unclutch that it is only challenged by a team 50 years ago Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NJDevs4978 Posted August 14, 2016 Share Posted August 14, 2016 I actually feel a little for him tonight, this wasn't one of his 'I'll just walk the ballpark' nights. He had his stuff, but like Game 1 of the World Series sometimes one bad pitch is worse in the box score than his 35-pitch tooth extractions.

capo Posted August 14, 2016 Share Posted August 14, 2016 I'm over Familia. He's freaking lousy. He walked a tight rope all year with his John Franco saves. Now it's all coming to a head. The guy sucks. Only the NYM... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
'7' Posted August 14, 2016 Share Posted August 14, 2016 Familia is infuriating now, but I have enough built up cache with him that I'll let it slide, but he absolutely has to go on a dominant run again and soon. Granted he has pitched a sh!t ton of late. That idiotic Rockies game where he was gassed and unavailable and still pitched. Not really on him The guy still had an enormous run or regular season saves in a row, and was put in incredibly tough situations in the WS because our manager is braindead. And he was let down by braindead fielding But the game 1 quick pitch HR. That's on him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A dime a dozen, especially this day in age when everyone can throw in the upper 90s. no, not at all. He has not had nearly the same amount of melt downs as Benitez. Now...can his career eventually lead down the Benitez path? Sure it can. Truly special closers are rare. However he is coming off a 50 consecutive regular season save streak which is incredibly impressive. Even in the postseason last year...in 14.2 playoff innings he allowed 5 hits. That's all. Benitez allowed 10 home runs in 2000. 12 home runs in 2001. That Wil Myers home run was the first Familia has allowed all season. After the St. Louis/Colorado implosions (and again no sane manager has him out there vs Colorado the next day) he has pitched the last 6 innings giving up 0 runs. I still don't think we quite know how good we have it with him. I mean Benitez back in the day would not only let them tie the game but he would give up the lead. Familia at least doesn't get flustered and can regain his composure. Edited August 14, 2016 by '7' Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NJDevs4978 Posted August 14, 2016 Share Posted August 14, 2016 (edited) I also don't remember Benitez having two shutout innings in a one-run deciding playoff game the way Familia did in Game 5 against the Dodgers last year. Closers having perfect regular seasons is rare, that's why it was such a freaking big deal when Familia did it through the ASB as illusory as it was at the time. Even the elite closers blow 5-6 games every regular season. Edited August 14, 2016 by NJDevs4978 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
capo Posted August 14, 2016 Share Posted August 14, 2016 (edited) Familia dodges bullets and a lot of it is luck. The 50 saves isn't what looks like on paper. Especially this year. Benitez also pitched in the steroid era whereas Familia is pitching in the deadbat era. Edited August 14, 2016 by capo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
