If the Mets were in the AL East they'd need a paddle. If everything breaks right the Mets have a legit shot at taking the NL East. But at the plate we appear to be way too left-handed and after DeGrom the starting pitching has questions with regard to durability (Thor), believability (Wheeler), consistency (Matz) and sucktitude (Vargas). 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Padres did the same thing with Fernando Tatis Jr. I'm not sure if any team held back a rookie to gain an extra year of control. This is pure speculation on my part, but with the collective bargaining agreement up for renegotiation in 2021 maybe the owners plan on giving up the service time loop-hole. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SinceThe70s Posted March 27, 2019 Share Posted March 27, 2019 I heard Mickey on the way home today. Alonso is starting against the righty tomorrow and will bat high in the order, probably 2nd or 3rd. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mets had 5 hits today...4 of them came from guys who never had a hit for the Mets before today. DeGrom picks up where he left off last year and Calloway does the smart thing and limits him to 93 pitches. And I just noticed that Lugo struck out all three batters he faced. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SinceThe70s Posted March 28, 2019 Share Posted March 28, 2019 (edited) Another stat from today that I just came across. DeGrom had 10 strikeouts and Scherzer had 12. First time since 1970 that opening day starters each had 10 or more strikeouts (Dave McNally and Sudden Sam McDowell). That's really surprising to me. Nearly half a century.

I didn't see Wheeler today but I'm guessing he didn't have his best stuff day? Last year his performance in the second half of the year was the highlight of it for me.

Aaah maybe he's just rusty Wheeler is back to his old way again,just like he was in Florida and the first half of last year.He's over thinking his pitches instead of just throwing.He lacks confidence..it's mental with him.

Another Fan Posted April 4, 2019 Author Share Posted April 4, 2019 DeGrom tearing it up! Can hit too Similar to Doc in 85 and Harvey to some extent in 13 it feels like an event whenever he takes the mound. I just hope he doesn’t have the drug issues of Doc or turn into a total d-bag (Harvey). 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just hope he doesn’t have the drug issues of Doc or turn into a total d-bag (Harvey). Doc was single and in his early 20s on a team of hideous "role models." Harvey was (and remains) a ***** selfish prima donna *****, who got bad advice from his equally ***** selfish prima donna ***** agent. deGrom is 30, married and has two little ones. I know that doesn't guarantee he won't dabble, but he has a helluva lot of incentive not to! He seems to have his head screwed on right.

Misterbluesky Posted April 5, 2019 Share Posted April 5, 2019 They were a tired group today,at least Noah was lucky enough to hop a early flight out of Sofla. Tough to swing a bat on 4 or 5 hours of sleep...last night's game should have been in the afternoon or today's opener held tomorrow instead of today. The schedule makers got us good..oh well.

Well nobody's been asking when Yoenis will come back so that's a good sign. The biggest positives for me are Pete Alonso's strong start, DeGrom picking up where he left off and the bullpen going from bad to good. Based on the first week there's no reason to think this team can't compete all year. A big concern is the back end of the rotation. Take away Wheelers second half last year and there's more concern than there is confidence in Wheeler, Matz and Vargas. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Another Fan Posted April 6, 2019 Author Share Posted April 6, 2019 Just going to touch on this whole Dykstra/Darling controversy. Lenny was a great player and it saddens me to some extent players today don't have that same kind of passion for the game. Having said that he's proved time and time again he's not a good person and that's putting it very nicely. Now having said that about Lenny I really question why Darling is mentioning stuff that happened over 30 years ago now. Well to sell books... I mean there's plenty of stuff I said over 10 plus years ago that if got brought up now I'd be embarrassed by. I move on though and don't linger over the past... In terms of just this content Lenny was bothering Oil Can Boyd.... its competitive battle. I mean not really my way to harass someone but in Lenny's case he hit a HR off him that night. He was probably just playing mind games with him to throw him off his game. Shouldn't be looked as more than that. Well at least to me. So ultimately while I dislike Dykstra the person, I'd take his side in this Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
