NJDevs4978 Posted May 20, 2023 Author Share Posted May 20, 2023 (edited) At least Lindor had his Mets moment, in a more meaningful situation than that stat-padding 3 HR game against the Yankees after we were out of it in 2020. Amazing how that one win Wednesday seems to have supercharged the heart back in this team. That and actually playing the kids who deserve to be playing.

Colorado Rockies 1976 Posted May 20, 2023 Share Posted May 20, 2023 The one real bummer is that it doesn’t really feel like the pitching is there to turn this season around…and they’ve had to work like hell just to get back to .500. But if there’s one positive, it that the kids are indeed playing…and it may not be long before this team will need a different type of manager. Buck seems to be a “roll with the veteran” guy to a fault. If the Mets are able to start getting younger, not sure Buck (who seems VERY set in his ways) will be the right man for the job.

NJDevs4978 Posted May 21, 2023 Author Share Posted May 21, 2023 I never expected Ottavino to repeat last year, neither did the rest of the league hence why he only got a one year deal. They really need another reliable reliever from somewhere though, you can’t ask old man Robertson to pitch four times in five days. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He had a terrific year last season but you are 100% correct, no way he was going to repeat that this year. And yeah even if this team hangs on to win this one (and hopefully wins again tonight), this pitching staff is not good enough. No way.

NJDevs4978 Posted May 22, 2023 Author Share Posted May 22, 2023 Besides the fact they actually have built positive momentum, getting 14 innings out of Scherzer and Verlander helped, it’s what we’re paying them for after all 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah on the WFAN this morning, they were rightly pointing out all of the (unsustainable) miracles that the Mets needed just to win all of five games by one run each. Not good. I've said this before but Senga sucks. I know the ERA isn't terrible, but this friggin' guy walks 5.8 per 9 IP and also has a 1.521 WHIP. Those are pure sh!t numbers. Unfortunately going the Jap route really is like a box of chocolates...some of those guys succeed here and some just flat-out don't. Stroman's a joke...dude, you're a friggin .500 pitcher and you haven't won d!ck. I'd tell him to act like he's been there before, but he wouldn't know, because he HASN'T been there before, really. He's not some scrub, but good lord...you're not THAT good pal. BTW your team isn't even playing .500 ball, just like last year...just sayin'.

Colorado Rockies 1976 Posted May 27, 2023 Share Posted May 27, 2023 Why is Vogelbach still a thing here? Along with clearly having gained all his weight back and then some, the guy with the .219 career average damned near never gets a hit. Enough already.

Colorado Rockies 1976 Posted June 1, 2023 Share Posted June 1, 2023 (edited) Talk about dodging a bullet (pun intended)…looks like Syndergaard might not have all that much left in the tank. He’s now given up 10 HR in 52.2 IP this season…not to mention that he’s given up 64 hits and struck out only 35, and has a 7.71 ERA over his last 7 starts. Imagine if he was doing this while being signed to a long-term deal here. Just like Harvey, Noah’s never going to get his big payday. His prime, just like Harvey’s, was far too short.

Colorado Rockies 1976 Posted June 1, 2023 Share Posted June 1, 2023 So after yesterday's brutal start (5 ER and 3 HR given up in 5 IP against the Nationals), Noah sounds crushed...basically said he'd give up his hypothetical first-born to pitch like he once could. Out of 96 pitches thrown yesterday, he induced exactly one swing and miss. ONE. He basically admitted that he's the weak link on the Dodgers right now, and just sounded like a guy who has no idea how to even begin to recapture his prior form. I'm surprised because based on last season, he seemed like a guy who even if his Thor days were behind him for good, could at least be a decent 4th or 5th guy. I wonder given the complete lack of starting depth in the Mets organization, if the Dodgers decide to release him, do the Mets snag him and then send him to Syracuse and see if they can fix him enough to give him a few starts with the big club? Not saying that I'm in favor of such a move or that I want him back, but with Peterson having already flamed out and Megill not exactly setting the world on fire, Noah suddenly becomes a "What the hell, if he sucks at AAA, we move on" option. FWIW, his FIP is right about the same as Megill's. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
