Matt Harvey 7 Innings 3 H 0 R 2 BB 9 K

It wouldn't be the Mets without the bullpen blowing wins for starters and 1 for 7 with runners in scoring position

Mets DL:
Pitchers
Black, Blevins, Mejia (plus suspension) Edgins (season), Gee, Montero, Parnell, Wheeler(season)
Position Players:
d'Arnaud, Wright, Lagares (day to day)

Man that DeGrom (sp?) kid is no joke! That rookie that went last night I think it was wasn't too bad either. I think the manager just kept him in too long.

Harvey is solid as usual.

I'm telling you, the Mets have the kind of rotation this year to make noise. These young guys are looking nasty.

deGrom's command wasn't where it should have been against the Cubs but when he is on point it is a pleasure to watch

Noah Syndergaard definitely has some nasty stuff, he has great movement on his change and curve. I thought he pitched well for a 22 year old rookie, it was unfortunate when Daniel Murphy didn't get the out when he threw a lollipop to first, which resulted in 18 more pitches in the inning.

These injuries are a major problem; more pressure on the bullpen who are not pulling their weight. I like Plawecki and Herrera they are talented players, I think they are still AAA players, they need more time before they can really make an impact.

Kirk Nieuwenhuis has no business playing in the majors he is a career AAA player.

Mets rant over

that kid Harvey pitched a good game , but, the mets could not win it for him, gotta wonder how much longer these guys will be leading their division.

is something going wrong?

From the MLB 2015 thread i said this during spring training


Injuries are playing a big roll in the Mets not playing well, Terry Collins has to change the lineup and since that BA and OBP have dropped. Bad fielding, mental mistakes and errors from the infield. Mets also have 5 bullpen pitchers on DL and Jenrry Mejia is suspended for 80 games, which stacks innings on the current bullpen and adds pressure

Healthy Mets line up:
Granderson
Wright .333 BA .371 OBP 4 RBI before injury
Duda
Cuddyer
Murphy
Lagares .276 BA .301 OBP 13 RBI before injury 2014 GG winner
d'Arnaud .317 BA .356 10 RBI before injury
Flores
P

Before injuries: the 2,3,4,8 hitters all batting over .300

Mets Current line up:
Granderson
Murphy
Cuddyer
Duda
Flores
Plawecki Rookie
Nieuwenhuis .088 BA .139 OBP Career AAA player
or
Mayberry Jr. .103 BA .188 OBP
Herrera Rookie
P

Yesterday Mets went 1-7 with RISP. I said in an earlier post Herrera and Plawecki are good players but I think they need more time in AAA to mature. Having AAA players is affecting the line up

Obviously a pitcher will take a different approach with who is hitting next or who is on base and who they are facing. Baseball is definitely a mental game

well, you certainly know your mets, and its been forever since they won a worlds championship, you deserve one.

what caught my eye on your post was " five bullpen pitchers on the DL" no team can win without good relievers.

I will be keeping an eye on them. they seem to have a couple of good starters.

80 friggin games...rediculous ...

Yeah I like the Mets, I go to spring training every year with my dad so he has had me on the Mets train since childhood, don't follow any other sports team as much. Yes 1986 it has been a while



Yeah well pitch game are the best

Future rotation of Harvey, deGrom, Syndergaard, Matz and Wheeler will be nice to watch



Yeah total disappointment

Dilson Herrera on 15 day DL

Last night 3 hit shutout, Tonight 13 hits 10 runs through 4 DeGrom 3-3 2 hits in one inning Wilmer Flores grand slam. I can only hope this is the Mets bats waking up

Darrell Ceciliani CF called up from AAA making his major league debut

Harvey pitched a good game, but he didn't get the win, im following him and hes been good last two games.

Harvey 8 innings 6 H 0 R 1 BB 9 K

So far this season 1.98 ERA .091 WHIP 56 K darn good stats

Yeah last night was frustrating 14 innings, I am just glad they got the win keep the momentum moving forward especially against the 25-13 Cardinals

[Edit] And it is 1-0 Cardinals

In other news Kirk Nieuwenhuis designated for assignment

WTF

Jacob deGrom 8.0 Innings 1 H 0 R 11 K

Duda through 42 games in 2014: 5 HR 19 RBI .237 BA
Duda through 42 games in 2015: 5 HR 19 RBI .302 BA

you are having a tough time against the cardinals. im rooting for your mets, the cardnials have been there too many times.

Yeah bad pitching by Neise and Colon and thanks we can use as much support as possible. Who do you generally root for?

[Edit]
Splitting the series with the Cardinals even with all the injuries isn't a horrible sign

I root for the angels in the American league, next I root for the redsox, [I hate the Yankees]

in the national I root for the giants, and the mets,[ I hate the dodgers]

LGM

hey, man that pitcher you got degroom, this kid allowed a

single in the first inning, then retired 23 in a row.

the angels will trade you pujols for him. ok. by the way synergaard sucked.

That pitcher we have Jacob deGrom for Albert Pujols? Idaho must have some high quality stuff you are smoking. Why would the Mets give up a 26 year old pitcher for a 35 year old infielder who stats are have been in decline.

Noah Syndergaard is 22 I don't think anyone expected him to be the best pitcher in the the majors, I don't know very many pitchers who have dominated when they are first brought up, but thank you for your assessment of his pitching ability.

well, I thought you might get a kick out of that trade, ive been cussing the angels ever since they gave that guy 400 million, they got to pay that bum when he is 40.

you got the pitching, and you got a good shot this year, you deserve a shot in the series, been awhile for your team. [15 years ]

the dude abides87..... just read about the mets new 6 man rotation.

what do you think.

Don't like it.

I think messing with a pitchers routine is bad and I think when they get too much rest it effects command.

From what I've read its about innings and pitch counts, probably has something to do with Matt Harvey's dead arm. Matt Harvey had 17 months recovery before this spring training. I say let him pitch

I would rather have Noah Syndergaard over Dillon Gee, I say let Noah pitch he has A quality stuff, let him go through his growing pains by August he will be performing better than Gee.

Let him pitch

I take back what I said about syndergaard, the kid can pitch. this mets team has a lot of potential, especially pitching. they could have one of the best staffs in the n.l. east.

I would love to say the will be the best in NL east but could is unfortunately the proper verb.

if you give up on them, they will surprise you, I firmly believe they are on the right track. I guess you have to credit their G.M. for their pitching staff.

Harvey definitely isn't dominating like deGrom has been but he got the win last night with 9 K. Tonight Neise pitched well gave up 3 runs, hopefully Mets offense can put something together in 8 & 9



[Edit] Bullpen really let this game up giving up 4 runs in the bottom of the eighth

I love when they are on the west coast and the games are late in the evening.
