Johan Santana looks to put the ugliness of last start behind him as he takes the mound for the Mets tonight versus the Nationals
First time thru: 0-9, second time:4-4
This may turn out to be a Jon Niese kind of outing
ugly real ugly
what was the tape on the glove thing about?
I’m not sure what to make of this outing. He had 3 perfect innings, and then 2 innings of 7 hit, 6 run ball
All the damage came via the HR ball
we giove up a lot of HR. johan is not “back”
scotty running up his trade worth
i wish he was part of the plans. i like him
Well, now i’m for sure his first 3 innings was a mirage. When you need 50 pitches to get thru 9 perfect innings, you know you’re not fooling the hitters much
And it guess it showed the 2nd time thru the order
i mean 3 perfect innings
yep. i agree
still think its the ankle?
yes. i think he is still probably compensating for his ankle by using his arm more, which isn’t all that strong to begin with.
It’s why i think they should just shut him down and fully rest him for next year
i dont like acosta or his delivery
It’s mo’s delivery
Ok, only 3 runs downs. This is still winnable
agreed. but DW needs to come to the party in a big way
Hmm. According to Brian, they are 2-10 when giving up 6 runs… so not good odds, but not impossible
Why did they pull Detweiler?
Shoppach first HR as met!
i hope that sparks the team
Go Shop!!!
i think that was a good trade.
So far it’s still up in the air for me. Beato had promise, but Relievers are a dime a dozen.
I think Beato was a disaster, I couldnt be happier hes gone. Id send Acosta and FF out too. They all blow.
my patience has expired completely
Beato was not a disaster. When he first came over he started with like a 18 inning scoreless streak
Unless you’re Mariano Rivera, you never what what you’ll get from most relievers in any given year. That’s how fickle they are
So i would at least see what Franky frank has got starting next year, then if he sucks, trade/release him
And acosta is still cheap so he’s worth keeping
But i’m not sure why TC wanted to use Acosta more than 1 inning… we’ve all seen how disastrous that can be
Warthen, Hudgens even TC have gone off the rails
A pen with an eRA over 5 has absolutely nothing redeeming
not everyone, not ANYone is Mo. but this is outrageously bad
Oh wow. How did they get to 5.10? Sunday night they were flirting with being the 2nd worst pen at
4.90
Phew. Acosta got thru his 2nd inning unscathed
Ruby and Shop were huge!
Hairston has had a big night so far
lets hope for more
not what i had in mind
Mets have made a habit of losing the first 2 games of the series and then “salvaging” the final game
which is very frustrating as a fan
I want everyone fired!
understandable
not everyone. Just TC
and his crew
Actually. I think we should have co-managers. TC can handle the lineup and the other guy can do pitching rotations/pitching changes
Not Alderson?
What do you give our chances vs Clippard?
I say 10% take lead, 20% tie, 40% get 1 run, 30% get no runs
I would prefer Mike Baxter here, but TC wants to tie it up right here right now
80% no runs
JV-Clippard Round 3. LEgooo
So round 3 ends in a walk.
But we have our most discipline hitter up there now!
gets complicated now. im hoping for BL
BL?
bases loaded…..but it doesnt matter
night gents
Oh well. They’re 2-5 now, right on pace for the 3-6 i predicted
yep
