NJDevs4978 Posted May 24, 2019 Share Posted May 24, 2019 Yeah a day late and a dollar short. I know CR was against Gio Gonzalez but he's been terrific since getting to Milwaukee last year and has had good years before then, and most importantly wasn't all that expensive. Heck they could have had a guy like Wade Miley too in the offseason, but they already had Vargas written in pen. At least they didn't give Matt Harvey $11 million though, yeesh.

'7' Posted May 24, 2019 Author Share Posted May 24, 2019 And now Matt Kemp to the Mets on a minor league deal Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NJDevs4978 Posted May 24, 2019 Share Posted May 24, 2019 But seriously, who's next - Jose Reyes? (that's already a joke thread on NYFS...although I'm not sure how out of the realm it actually is) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In fairness, Gio usually starts very well...that I’m not that surprised by. You saw the stretches I posted...they are scary. Harvey now up to a 7.50 ERA on the season. At this rate he may not make it through the season. I have no idea who the Angels were bidding against...they probably could’ve had him for half his current contract, he’d been so bad (not to mention injury-prone) the last few years.

The team of BVW and Jeffy is getting more painful to watch by the move. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

'7' Posted May 24, 2019 Author Share Posted May 24, 2019 (edited) Interesting the Mets have no history of consequence against the Tigers. We almost never play. Back in 1997 when interleague was new and intriguing we made our first and only trip to Tiger Stadium. Todd Hundley commented on how the right field overhang (which served as the inspiration to our right field over hang at Citi) was "whispering to him". Detroit promptly swept us and scored a billion runs Mets/Tigers games usually have some insane run totals. Teams scoring 14, 12, 11, 14, 16, 15 runs, The 2006 World Series that should've been...

Colorado Rockies 1976 Posted May 24, 2019 Share Posted May 24, 2019 (edited) Think they hit 14 HR during the series. Yeah was a slaughter. Think Bobby Jones was one of the victims...god that guy was so hittable and ordinary. And yeah, he gave up four dingers in that start...he had somehow gotten off to a 12-3 start that season (with an ERA well under 2.50) before the bottom fell out...that start in Detroit was the second of a string of a bunch of bad starts that derailed his year (though overall 1997 would up being one of his better seasons).

Colorado Rockies 1976 Posted May 24, 2019 Share Posted May 24, 2019 And so far this game is a blatant reminder about how hard it was to feel much excitement about sweeping the dead-in-the-water Nats. A blip. Nothing more. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NJDevs4978 Posted May 25, 2019 Share Posted May 25, 2019 Scattered boos for Thor as he departs, the natives are getting restless. And he has like the second worst ERA of any qualified starter in the NL. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
'7' Posted May 25, 2019 Author Share Posted May 25, 2019 Just a bizarre game. Aaron Altherr who just became a Met 10 minutes ago steps in and hits a home run. A battle of totally inept pitching. Both teams are just taking over the top home run cuts. We go ahead, Detroit comes back, we go ahead...Detroit comes back No answers from this pen. Tigers bring whatever trash they want to the plate and it's screaming line drive after line drive. .168, .210, .216, .170 hitters are looking like Rod Carew 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just be honest and admit you don’t want to play Yoenis. Not saying your injury isn’t legit...but congrats, you conned a cheap organization into playing big money (for them) for a guy who put on a good act. Well done.
