No. He got it up to 98 yesterday. He's throwing harder than he has all year. He needs to just keep working. His last six starts were pretty darn good until yesterday. And, even though he gave up a lot of hits, only a few were hit hard. When they were, he was hanging his slider.
Absent an injury, and I see no evidence of one, he should just keep working.
deGrom, too, by the way, just had his first outing this year in which he had the same stuff he had last year. I hope that keeps up.
Fair enough with the velocity but I still think he could use a little rest mid season with all the innings he logged coming off TJ.
Wilmer doing his best to put his foot down and lay claim to being an every day starter. Nice play at 3B, and 2 homers today.
Reyes is looking much more composed today he was definitely way too jacked up last night.
This guy Stanton is absolutely on fire, but I've never seen a pitching staff give up more 1-2 or 0-2 count home runs than this Mets staff. When it comes to the Stantons and Bryants...pitch around them!!!

I thought I said something seems wrong with him but after re-reading I didn't. My bad!
Likely out for the rest of the season, needs surgery to fix the problem, but never know if he will ever return to full strength.
Crazy slobber knocker of a game last night. 8 homers ties a citi field record. They just kept going out lol. This guy Wilmer Flores es en fuego ahora. How does terry take him out of lineup? Ya can't.
These new rules are ruining baseball. How the s@&# the hell do you break up a double play anymore? crazy how the game ended last night, just glad it went in the mets favor :)

Agree. Collins never really impresses me. The only thing that makes me not so concerned about this is that managers mean very little in baseball. It's the most unimportant head coaching position of the major sports, which is why Alderson is smart not to pay managers much money.
I disagree. Just like the catcher rule, this has to be implemented. The catcher rule has gotten less controversial as time has passed, and so will this. In fact, the take-out rule seems much more simple. You must slide before the bag, you must still be able to touch the bag after you've slid. The reason is obvious, and the call seems easy. What you hear from some announcers and the team against whom the call went is the usual grousing in sports about rule changes, particularly if it involves a play that used to be considered "hard-nosed" but is now illegal because "taking people out" is simply on its way out in sports.
What did Reyes do?
Agree on both points. Murphy would have been safe, slide or no slide, and that should be taken into consideration. There was nothing dirty or wrong with Werth's slide. Good thing the umps did not call FBI Director Comey for an opinion. :grimace:
Yup. The purpose of a bona fide slide is to arrive at the base safely. If the base in question is second base, that means you need to be able to get to the base AND STAY THERE. If you can't, it's not a bona fide slide. I for one am glad that the studs-up sliding tackle, which gets you a red card in soccer, is no longer part of baseball.
