And our stadium is a little league park. LOL. These guys are so sad.
Actually they ARE calling it a little league park.
No they are saying that Collins used Familia yesterday knowing that he couldn't tonight, which means he's not over-hyping this series. If you are going to be a creepy spy at least get it right.

How does one be a creepy spy on a public message board? Try harder next time little guy.

And they said it after Met wins there as well. Who cares?
That wasn't even a bad pitch and he crushed it. Seems he'll never be the complete hitter he once was. But that power is still there and is still very valuable.
That liner up the middle is a clean base hit with 25 starting shortstops in the game standing out there. But Didi sucks and the deal was an abomination...
RE: I'm surprised tht they are sending Degrom back out.
Wouldn't 8 lefties be a good scenario to throw Gilmartin?
Mets pen is shallow, Big Mike is dominating and the Yanks pen has been awesome. the Mets odds of winning this one are low. Better to conserve the pen for the next two games.

Didi has talent, he just needs to relax and play the game that initially made him one of the top prospects for AZ. Somehow last year, he regressed with AZ, but he does have ability to hit enough and field very well.
so efficient, his control is just sick. the slider and change have been nasty, and what looked like a two seam or sinker that really dove out of the zone on one strikeout earlier.
but those McCann and Beltran at bats were just painful to watch. Bases loaded, the pitcher is wild up in the zone... and they refuse to take a walk and get a run in that way. Swinging at nonsense up near their necks.
At most, you platoon him. Start Young versus lefties and Beltran versus righties. I don't think some of you have ever peked at Young ' s career performance against righties. It isn't pretty.
Played the team with the best record in baseball two series in a row
series. They reverted to the past, scoring early and doing nothing afterward. Didn't like the bases loaded no outs with the middle of the order up and no runs. Suppose that is nit picking.
We get the Dark Knight tomorrow. By the way, why would any pitcher want to pitch inside to Teixiera? He hits middle in...so just keep the ball away..why put the ball in his kill zone?
faced a team that was red hot and trying to set a franchise record for wins in a row, and we dominated. Lit up DeGrom and Big Mike pitched a hell of a game.
This team has been playing great of late, gotta keep it going and win this series.
but as far as his 3 year splits 2012-2014, they're pretty similar.
righties: .218/.282/.403
lefties: .216/.321/.392
2011 he was much better vs lefties. 2010 he had no split. I don't see anywhere with his full career split. but data much older than 3 years is probably not too relevant as guys change. not a guy you play everyday and against tough righties, but I don't see the drastic splits you are referring to. year-to-year sure, better against one side some years, small sample sizes especially against lefties.

yeah definitely nit-picking. i'll sign up for that 7 days a week

they really have been rolling, fun to watch. starts with the SP which has been very good and consistent. and the defense has been great, as anticipated coming into the year.
that everyone destroyed Cashman for actually looks good
all of a sudden? killed Cashman for?
Yep. It wasn't everyone but 70% or more thought Montero was the next coming. I liked the trade because I didn't think much of Montero.
But let Pineda finish the year before we crown him.
Montero was the best hitting prospect I've followed...
he didn't have a defensive position, and he - like many elite Mariners prospects - hasn't clicked at the big league level, but what he did as a teenager in the minors was extremely impressive. Contact tool, reasonable patience, power, he had it all at the plate.

Why didn't it translate to the Majors? If you can hit with one organization, you can hit with the next. Maybe he was AAAA?

Even elite prospects have a bust factor. But baseball has a mental component to it, a huge one, and when you're put in an environment when your power is virtually neutralized by a huge ballpark and you don't have an obvious place to play, where you have little or no veteran leadership on what was then a terrible team and you throw in a few injuries you can start to see how someone might become more likely to bust.
Pineda looked elite. And Teix is in the AL leaders

I disagree. Look at Montero's Major League spray chart... most of his fly balls are to right field. SafeCo isn't remotely conducive to someone hitting to right-center. You think Cano all of a sudden forgot how to hit HRs? I still believe that Montero would've been infinitely better playing half his games in YS than SafeCo. If you go back to the season Montero had his most PAs, his home numbers were pathetic and his road numbers were good.
Has a weird swing. I never saw what others did. The hits to right did not appear to be a result of starting inside the ball, but rather they were scattershot. When he got called up, the HRs were what the failing Dimaggio called "piss" homers that he woyld slice over the 296 & 344 then hobble around the bases on bad ankles.
Not saying Montero cannot hit. It is obvious that if he gets 500 ABs, he will do some damage. But best hitting prospect ever? No chance. And, he came up as being basically a DH, which means that the position is locked for you if you wanted to acquire a veteran hitter. Plus he has no value in a potential trade to to NL teams.
Cautionary note on Pineda. I think he got away with some pitches last night. Leiter alluded to the right-handed hitting catcher missing a change from a righty pitcher. The ball fell into him. That is a reflection of a poor, inexperienced hitter. Throw that pitch to somebody like Pedroia or Trout: get a new ball. The Mets lineup as constituted last night, was not exactly Murder's Row. Pineda did throw quality fastballs for strike 1-sure. And he did follow McCann's lead as Cone mentioned. But the Mets had 4 line outs as well. And the burn they were on was due to end. Nobody plays to 130-32 in this game. The Mets are not going to win 125 games.

Again like all last year.
Heathcott, BTW, has faced Adam Morgan and Henry Owens his last two games. Two good lefties. And he's 5 for 6 against them.

This kid Shreve or whatever his name is looked decent.

It appears neither was a Yankee Stadium "special."
