NFT: Marlins vs Mets game 2

.

Kristie Ackert @Ackert_NYDN
There was a lot of frustration w/ Montero once Mets got to big league parks. He shied away from what was working for him in ST.

let Montero be a starter, which he should be on this level eventually.

going with a 6th man rotation. Monetro to make 2 starts in the minors and will make a start afterwards. Collins isn't saying Gee on thin ice, but hard to argue that it doesn't look that way.

is because the baseball world knew this was likely a countdown clock on top of Dillon Gee's head. The 6 man/spot start stuff downplays that only slightly.

Don't completely discount a six man rotation at times. There were rumblings in the spring of doing this as an alternative to skipping starts for guys throughout the season. Some old (Colon), frequently injured (gee, Niese) and young arms off previous TJ surgery (Harvey, DeGrom) might benefit from it.

to get something of value for Gee. I'd be surprised if they continue it once he's eventually dealt.

a torn flexor and needs surgery...likely done for the year

In order to go deep into the postseason :)

lets go!

Not sure..

6/4/2012?
"All right, so it's just a matter of percentages, but still: The Mets are currently in a three-way tie for first place with the Washington Nationals and Miami Marlins. It's the first time the Mets have been in first place on June 4 since 2007 — on June 3 that year, by the way, Julio Franco pinch hit for Oliver Perez — and honestly, it's really rather insane. The Mets are flying high, and the strange thing is, this is starting to look less like a fluke and more like something that's potentially sustainable."
.. June 2012? - ( New Window )

from various years should help:

Just change the year

Couldnt tell until that last inning

OWNING LEFTIES.

.

This team rules. Just finding ways to win.

bring em both home

.

with a trash can lid.

I'll take it

Mets are just playing sound baseball.

This is just lightyears different than what we've seen the last handful of seasons.

has no range

I love this fat bastard.

and he seems to be even better this year. If we are in playoff contention I have no problem keeping him all season .

..and we are beyond game 10 now.

I'm not used to seeing this.

Very glad they kept him. Guy just knows how to pitch. It would take a crazy scenario for a guy like him to return a big prospect and for once it's nice to have a guy who you can throw out there with reckless abandon to some degree. He's like our version of Tim Wakefield.

.

That is why the Mets defense overall will not be poor this year. Lagares makes up for just about every other player on the team combined.

.

strength is his good eye

time baby.

Did d'Arnaud just throw Muno's first hit ball into the crowd? Hahahah

was a steal by alderson
