NJDevs4978 Posted July 9, 2016 Share Posted July 9, 2016 Oh dear god now Thor's leaving after throwing fastballs topping out at 93 and 91. The baseball gods are definitely paying us back in interest for last year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

'7' Posted July 9, 2016 Share Posted July 9, 2016 I concur CR. FGY Baseball gods. It's amazing how quickly things can come crashing down for us. Such an amazing high from last nights game...then Harvey, now Thor. One by one they're picking off our staff. I can't watch the game at the moment but I'm sure it's not just "arm fatigue". And Matz spur is supposedly large so...I have no idea how long he can hold on before something else happens, or the pain is unbearable.

NJDevs4978 Posted July 9, 2016 Share Posted July 9, 2016 And of course the bats complete the suffering on a miserable night as usual failing with first and third, nobody out when as usual Dusty brings in nine billion pitchers to lull our bats to sleep. And Murphy with the DP turn so Gary doesn't get to bitch about his defense :P Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Colorado Rockies 1976 Posted July 9, 2016 Author Share Posted July 9, 2016 Again, sh!t-can the Mets' medical staff. And the trainers. Just because. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NJDevs4978 Posted July 9, 2016 Share Posted July 9, 2016 (edited) I almost forgot this is the SECOND game this year both Thor and Cespedes have left with injuries in the same game. Second time! What kind of odds would you get on that? Unfortunately with each time the odds for disaster increases.

'7' Posted July 9, 2016 Share Posted July 9, 2016 It must be the Wilpons. I mean look for how long Jay Horwitz has been employed. Despite years of lolmets laughingstock moments. Look how long they kept Bernazard around. Heck it took the guy taking off his shirt and challenging someone to a back alley brawl to lose his job. Ray Ramirez must be a Wilpon favorite in some way. Maybe Fred is close to some doctors at the hospital the Mets use...whatever it is it's not every day that you see this kind of incompetence tolerated for this long without some sort of nepotism.

But our hospital has the best doctors in NYC, or at least that's what we get told Yeah I get tired of hearing how great our trainers and doctors are when we have all sorts of misdiagnosed and recurring/worsening/undiagnosed injuries. This goes back at least to the Ryan Church fiasco several years ago (flying him cross-country with a concussion).

'7' Posted July 9, 2016 Share Posted July 9, 2016 Though the Harvey injury itself...isn't that just something that's difficult to diagnose? Maybe that shouldnt be laid totally at the feet of our trainers/docs. What he's getting surgery for isnt really an injury...it's just the way his body is. But when it comes to injuries, this team needs a clean start and a whole new conservative philosophy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So either Harvey didn't say anything (possible), or we misdiagnosed it thinking it was something he could pitch through. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
'7' Posted July 9, 2016 Share Posted July 9, 2016 Just win one of the next two and I'll be happy heading into the break. Provided Thor and Cespedes arent anything that is going to need prolonged DL stints. I think Ces will be back for the Phillies series. With Thor...not so optimistic. When there's smoke there's fire and there is A LOT of smoke here. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well something has been bothering him...but whatever it was it wasnt plainly obvious and it wasnt a common baseball injury either. He had his velocity, he did not have his control, and he did not have anything glaringly wrong with his arm. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
'7' Posted July 9, 2016 Share Posted July 9, 2016 Cespedes stated that he suffered a similar injury in Detroit and only missed 4-5 days so...hopefully ASB will be more than enough time for him to recover. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

'7' Posted July 10, 2016 Share Posted July 10, 2016 Verrett just doesnt have the ability to pitch to this Nats lineup. Babe Murphy with another RBI. Mets had Scherzer stumbling early but couldnt deliver blow, now it's 3-1 in the 5th, this game is lost. Just win tomorrow Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Colorado Rockies 1976 Posted July 10, 2016 Author Share Posted July 10, 2016 Mets can't count on Verrett to be any good this year as a starter...that's a shame, because he had moments last season, but he's simply giving up too many baserunners in 2016. Sandy's gotta go out and get a veteran who might not be having a good year, but won't cost much and might benefit from a change of scenery.

'7' Posted July 10, 2016 Share Posted July 10, 2016 Murphy is literally Barry Bonds. This is ridiculous. Or at least Jeff Kent. But you can't let him kick dirt in your face. I know it's the Wilpons style to say "thank you may I have another" but this team needs to show guts. Cant let the Nats walk all over us and laugh about it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
'7' Posted July 10, 2016 Share Posted July 10, 2016 Time to DFA Bastardo. He put on a Mets uniform and suddenly lost any ability to pitch in the big leagues. It's just not going to happen with him with him. This signing made sense...but sometimes guys just lose it asap as a Met...Bay is another one.

You're probably right but I'd like to see him get three or four starts in a row first just to see if he improves with a more set role. They really don't have any other in-house options to go to at this point anyway, so it's either go with Verrett or find someone from the outside. 11 hours ago, '7' said: Murphy is literally Barry Bonds.

This signing made sense...but sometimes guys just lose it asap as a Met...Bay is another one. Sandy has really had some rotten luck with a numbers of his middle and lower-tier signings for sure: Chris Young, John Mayberry Jr., Michael Cuddyer, Frank Francisco, Antonio Bastardo, Alejandro De Aza, Shaun Marcum..and some of those signings did make sense on paper. But no one can rightly say Sandy's done an awesome job since becoming the Met GM. He's clearly done some good things, but as we all know, he inherited an awful lot of arms and got some killer luck at the right times. I'll never be a huge believer in Flores, but if he's a bit flustered by circumstances right now, I can understand why. He's not consistent, but he slashed .289/.353/.421 for June, and is slashing .379/.406/.931 for July. We know he has limitations, both offensively and defensively...but man, it's gotta be weird for him to lose his job to a guy who is a clear question mark in Reyes. For the first time, even though I'm not a Flores guy, I agree with capo's take that Flores is being screwed (for the moment) by his franchise. Reyes has done nothing to earn everyday playing time from the moment he signed, but it's been given to him. I get why, in that the Mets should find out ASAP how much Reyes really has left, which means he has to play...but Flores has to be thinking "Geez, I've actually been hitting and my numbers pass the eye-test, and I'm just shoved aside for a guy who isn't really much of an upgrade at all." Has, re: Verrett...it's the BBs that concern me. I don't have any confidence in Warthen to get that corrected, because I have no idea what Warthen actually does. I would still prefer an underperforming vet who has a shot to turn things around...though yeah, I guess the Mets might as well give Verrett July to show something. At least he won't drain the limited asset pool. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We never once made Chipper or Brian Jordan or Jeter uncomfortable. When the media and fans finally get nuts over it our responses are clumsy and pathetic.
