NJDevs4978 Posted April 13, 2022 Author Share Posted April 13, 2022 (edited) LOL of course the Yankee reject sucks too so now it’s another five alarm fire in the 7th and Buck has to use the business end of the pen anyway with 9 outs left And now 8-4 with two in scoring position Edited April 13, 2022 by NJDevs4978 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Colorado Rockies 1976 Posted April 13, 2022 Share Posted April 13, 2022 Oh, and one last fvck you to Sandy...yep, you had to prove how "smart" you are by not re-signing Loup, didn't you? Nope, can't just do the obvious thing...always pivoting to lesser options...that's why the Mets have McCan't catching. So glad you're not the Mets' GM anymore. 1 minute ago, NJDevs4978 said: LOL of course the Yankee reject sucks too so now it’s another five alarm fire in the 7th and Buck has to use the business end of the pen anyway with 9 outs left LOL of course the Yankee reject sucks too so now it’s another five alarm fire in the 7th and Buck has to use the business end of the pen anyway with 9 outs left LOL of course the Yankee reject sucks too so now it’s another five alarm fire in the 7th and Buck has to use the business end of the pen anyway with 9 outs left LOL of course the Yankee reject sucks too so now it’s another five alarm fire in the 7th and Buck has to use the business end of the pen anyway with 9 outs left And this definitely bears repeating!

Colorado Rockies 1976 Posted April 15, 2022 Share Posted April 15, 2022 Here we go…home opener. Talk about a rotten start…as a TEAM, the D’Backs are slashing .140/.286/.246. What, is Tim Tebow batting in every slot 1 through 9?! Yikes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NJDevs4978 Posted April 15, 2022 Author Share Posted April 15, 2022 I just hope that doesn’t mean they’re due to break out this weekend. Especially with Nimmo and Canha both on the COVID list Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Colorado Rockies 1976 Posted April 15, 2022 Share Posted April 15, 2022 (edited) Well, Pete's OB% is taking a beating today... but when it's due to two sacrifice flies, no problem! 12 RBI through 8 GP...sounds good to me!

Suffice it to say that the D'Backs aren't heading in the right direction through 5 innings...they're 1-for-15 so far. 8 out of 9 hitters in the lineup are hitting well under .200...five of the 8 are at .143 or less.

Colorado Rockies 1976 Posted April 15, 2022 Share Posted April 15, 2022 Another terrific start for Bassitt...the starting pitcher's ERA actually went UP a little today, with his outing. Not everyday a that a team goes 0-for-3 with RISP, and has a 5-1 lead after six innings, heh heh. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NJDevs4978 Posted April 15, 2022 Author Share Posted April 15, 2022 (edited) Yeah this Diamondbacks team really isn’t good. I think the only guy the fans bothered booing in the intros was MadBum lol I didn’t get to see the statue ceremony yet but I did hear the team intros, seems like Alonso and Jake got the loudest cheers afai could tell, not that surprising although I’m sure Buck and Cohen himself also got ovations.

It’s early but this looks more like the Lindor we were advertised This game felt like one great big “washing off”. Lindor washing off last year for sure, but more so, the Mets fully washing off any lingering “dirt” from the Wilpon and Alderson days. From Cohen to Buck to Max to making legit moves, it really feels like NOW the era of the New Mets has begun. We’ll see where that takes us.

NJDevs4978 Posted April 17, 2022 Author Share Posted April 17, 2022 Well at least they got two out of three in this series, can't complain about a 7-3 start and if the pen's been spotty so far, the starting pitching has been aces. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not everyday that 6 hits leads to 5 runs. But yeah, 7-3, three series wins, some obvious weaknesses, but I would’ve happily signed up for 7-3.

Colorado Rockies 1976 Posted April 18, 2022 Share Posted April 18, 2022 (edited) So even with the NL adopting a DH, overall MLB is still hitting just .233, you’re still more likely to see a strikeout than a hit, and the game feels just as broken as it ever has. And apparently 5 is the new 6…as in, starting pitchers are often being taken out in the fifth inning now. Maybe it’s a side effect of a shortened spring training, but it also reeks of the latest sabermetric geek nonsense: “Nope, can’t have guys facing lineups a third time, the world will end!” Gotta wonder if these bullpens are all going to hold up. At least the Mets are 7-3. Edited April 19, 2022 by Colorado Rockies 1976 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
