Jealous you don't have Sanchez? Looks like an all-star for the next decade. The Tigers learned a lesson, don't intentionally throw at him.
OT: OFFICIAL 2017 LET'S GO METS SEASON THREAD
- Thread starter ScarletStateofNJ
- Start date
Can I assume you have no problem with his actions?
No, not really. The Tigers started it, which is why MC was suspended for more games.
Yanks have also hit two Tigers in the head, can imagine if Gardner or Sanchez were hit in the head.
They would justify it,lol. Hitting a player on the ground,and throwing at players HEADS, he as well as most Yankee fans, see no problem with that,unreal.
Travis Taijeron has been called up and is in the lineup today. I love it when "non-prospects" finally get their shot. May he make the most of it. Gio Gonzalez is a tough way to break in though. EDIT: Also, Reyes has been activated from the DL and is playing 2B. Expect to see him in CF at some point.

An update for those who have made the very rational decision to stop paying attention:
- David Wright, who had been hoping to return this year at least as a pinch-hitter, suffered a setback and is done for the year. Most likely for good, which is not good.
- Michael Conforto has elected to have shoulder surgery. Not yet scheduled. Mets will see how it goes and plan accordingly.
- Asdrubal Cabrera is still here. What would have been the odds on that six weeks ago?
- Mets have brought up two of the pitchers acquired in the clearance sale - Jacob Rhame and Jamie Callahan. Both pitched yesterday.
- Rafael Montero pitched 8.1 shutout innings on Wednesday! Only game the Mets have won all week.
- Mets signed veteran OF Nori Aoki who had been DFA'd by Toronto. I doubt he is in their future plans, just a body to help finish the season.
- Matt Harvey pitched two innings yesterday and gave up seven runs, but afterward was upbeat (as opposed to beat up). He said that the main thing was that he felt good. The mechanics, velocity, and results will return. We shall see.
- Noah Syndergaard has begun a rehab assignment, so we should see him again before the year is out. That would be a welcome sight.
- Another injury - this time to Wilmer Flores. Fouled a ball off his face and broke his nose. Can't make this shit up.
Seriously waiting for a report of one of the Mets players ball sac getting caught in a bear trap on the LIRR, FDR or something like that.
Anyone think it was inappropriate to start Matt Harvey first game back in Houston?
And now Rosario got hit by a pitch. Xrays for his finger were negative. So with the medical staff, he won't be back until August, 2018.
Nah. The most wins any NL pitcher has is 16. Gio Gonzalez and Max Scherzer, with much lower ERAs and a much better team behind them, each only has 13 wins. Starting pitchers just don't get as many decisions as they used to.
Players parking spots at Citi Field are all labelled for handicapped parking.
Nah again. DeGrom has 14 wins, 17 would be three more. Shed no tears for Jake. He has been the beneficiary of 5.8 runs per game, 13th highest total among starting pitchers in all of MLB.
God damm man... I lost my [poop][poop][poop] after seeing the tiger eat up the base stealer. I actually expect that to happen at the next home stand lol.
This Mets lineup is eerily reminiscent of a time when their offense was the worst in the league. A time when they were playing guys like Kirk Nieuwenhuis, Darrell Ceciliani, Eric Campbell, Johnny Monell, John Mayberry Jr., Danny Muno, and Anthony Recker.
Remember then? I know you do, because it was only two years ago. Then some guys got healthy, they made some trades, and got lucky with a trade that they didn't make. And they rebuilt the team and made it to the World Series.
The process took about two months. Not years, months.
How was that possible? Because with all that turmoil in their lineup, they had one constant, GREAT STARTING PITCHING. Their pitching kept them afloat when the offense was anemic, and catapulted them to the top when the offense turned it around.
This team has not given up on 2018. IF the pitching rebounds (and that is one gigantic IF), then they will contend next year. If it doesn't, they won't.

Some of their starting pitching would still be around if their worthless pitching coach didn't run them into the ground with his THROW HARD philosophy. The only pitcher who survived this season was deGrom and that was because he listened to John Smoltz on how to keep himself in pitching shape throughout the season.
It's only 7 games in, but some teams are already looking up as the cream starts to rise!
Bump.
Wilmer Flores out for season with broken nose. Somewhere there is a hockey player rolling in laughter.
Harvey started tonight, 92-93 on the fastball, 5 innings, 2 runs, 1 strikeout, 1 win. Forget the Harvey of old, will be ever again be a serviceable back of the rotation starter? Do the Mets make him a qualifying offer for 2018? I think they do, but it would be nice if over the next three weeks he could erase all doubts.
Wanna hear something funny? Nimmo batted cleanup tonight. Wanna hear something funnier? He hit two homers and a double. Sometimes you just grow into your role. There's something you gotta love about Nimmo. Such joy of the game. Like Pete Rose without all the ick. Also without about 4,200 hits.
Wanna hear something even funnier? (Not ha-ha funny, weird funny.) Alderson referred to d'Arnaud and Plawecki as "above average catchers", and said he "feels pretty good" about going into 2018 with the two of them. So it looks like Mets won't be in the market for a catcher. Of course that could just be GM-speak.

The Mets really need to move on from Alderson. Get a new GM and a new training and medical staff. And 2 new catchers.
yeah okay... they led the vast majority of a world series 2 years ago, relax.
