If Diaz can pitch lights out like that, watch out. It could be a amazing year!
Imagine trying to hit Jacob with the shadows. Diaz has been fine in save chances. Seems to have problems in games where Mets are losing and they want him to get work.
17 Rockies Ks in 7 innjngs
In all fairness, he struck out .190, .120, and .174 in the ninth (hard to believe that’s all the Rockies had). I’m happier that he didn’t walk any of them more than I am that he struck them all out.
Told my son the exact same thing! I said if he walks the leadoff guy, I'm going to flip. Challenge the hitters, those BB, always come back to kill you.
I’m still trying to compute that this is actually a thing this year....
Keep this LMAO!!!
I’m assuming we now know who to replace in the rotation when Thor and/or Carrasco comes back from injury?
Villar misplay cost 2 runs
Ball hit right at him was scored a hit
klutch
Konforto 1st and second no outs !

Inning was over , f the shift
Instead of 3-2 going to 6th after inning ending double play
It’s 7-2

Knowing the Mets, there will be multiple guys on the IL when these two return.
Sandy should go for non-baseball reasons.
What did Rojas do that caused you to believe he's micro-managing?
Every year there seens to be that bum in the bullpen who every time they come in the game it ends in disaster. So far this season its that guy Barnes. Another team's castoff who made the team because he happened to have a good spring. But then the games that count start and oooof, you see why he was dumped by another team.

After facing deGroms 101 mph fastballs, the Rockies must have felt they were hitting off a T facing Lucchesi, lol
Usually, that is why I like Stroman after deGrom. Suck a completely different type of pitcher.
But back to deGrom- is anyone else just amazed that a pitcher can actually have a 92 mph "changeup" that moves like crazy.
When you think about how in the recent past, a HS kid throwing mid 80's was someone that got on MLB scouts radar, and now, they won't waste their time unless you crack 90's. To throw a 90+ changeup is just insane.
You have some legit HOF pitchers from not even too long ago whos fastballs only reached the speed of deGrom's changeup. I don't think Maddox or Glavin were ever throwing harder than 92 mph in their prime.
In response to the increase in pitcher velocity, MLB has directed the Atlantic League to experiment with moving the pitching rubber back one foot, to 61 feet 6 inches. Ron Darling estimates that this will cause pitches to appear two miles per hour slower. From 100 down to 98 is still pretty quick though.
But just as pitchers are throwing harder, batters are swinging harder and have all the tech in the world to help. We put it back to 61 ft and we will have those 70 HR seasons again
Let the pitchers pitch and maybe hitters will adjust back to making contact.
Manfred is a pure idiot. Leave the mound alone and fire all the analytic idiots and get baseball people who believe in making contact and play the bases again.
I’m definitely going to jinx him but Stroman is an 0.50 ERA pitcher through 3 official games now. And I’m sure people still wish Bauer was still signed.
But others would actually would mean it.
Pitching into the 8th with the bottom of the order coming up.
Can’t believe I’m saying this but here’s hoping for the Diaz Trumpets in the 9th.
We’re talking about the commissioner who have made 7 inning games and extra inning rules legal for a regular, Regular Season.
It ain't quite regular yet. But don't take my word for it. Ask the Dunedin Blue Jays.
Ramos does not throw him out last year, just sayin’. Great job James!
