Curtis Granderson, RF
Eric Campbell, 3B
Lucas Duda, 1B
Michael Cuddyer, LF
Daniel Murphy, 2B
Wilmer Flores, SS
Kevin Plawecki, C
Matt Harvey, RHP
Juan Lagares, CF
And here is the Cardinals' lineup:
Kolten Wong, 2B
Matt Carpenter, 3B
Matt Holliday, LF
Jhonny Peralta, SS
Matt Adams, 1B
Yadier Molina, C
Jason Heyward, RF
Randal Grichuk, CF
John Lackey, RHP
Got to say, Im hoping for a split. The Cardinals might be the best team in baseball. They have fantastic pitching and let's face it, until TDA and Wright come back we won't have a legit lineup or a particularly deep one.
Things have been looking up though. Certain players are heating up and TDA and Wright performed baseball activities today! We are still in first! LGM!
That pick off play sure didn't help either.
Harvey probably wishes he was on another team.
That pick off play sure didn't help either.
I missed a couple of innings. Let me guess, the pick off play was a Flores error?
Collins never thinks of things like that

Give me a break.
People can't comment now on a player getting picked off at 1st base in a one run game if it happens to be Flroes? It is a game thread quit getting so upset if Flores is mentioned
You didn't?
Yeah I figured it had to be Flores because God forbid we blame any of the other players that haven't done shit this game.

Lol not upset. But it's exhausting watching the usual suspects beat on Flores game in and game out as if he's the only one out there. It's funny that I knew who you were talking about. I noticed you didn't say anything about his great defensive play earlier that probably saved runs.

When i said our offense sucks i was blaming everybody.
dWAR for Grandy allowing a ball to fall in front of him and use his noodle arm.
Awesome
Sort of like how it's the difference in this game for the cardinals.
Games over if Collins in his infinite wisdom has Cuddyer in RF and Granderson in LF like everyone on planet earth other than Collins thought we would see this year.
There's wins and losses effected by the "Terry factor" in action.
Relax steve, it's really not a big deal. Sorry for being snarky. And I may be oversensitive but you, and others, are over the top with the Flores negativity. I almost feel obligated to protect the kid for some odd, irrational reason. I know he's not the greatest, but he gets way too much hate. Just my feeling.
I didn't see Seth post :)

I don't disagree. But in all honesty, we should have been able to hit Lackey. He hasn't been that great and we were swinging good bats.
But, do you disagree that Collins lack of aggressiveness contributes to losses? I mean, it's more than just the hit and run. It's also a mentality. I've said this for years. I just like a more aggressive approach. Create your own luck.

Hey, here's another one that surprisingly silent every time Flores makes a good play or good hit. Shocking.
You really really really like using the word cheerleader.
How did Thor's knee look yesterday?

but two of our best offensive weapons are out, we all know some of our bats have been struggling, and we are playing the fucking Cardinals who might be the best team in baseball riddled with good pitching. No shit offense was going to be hard to come by.

Yes I agree but you know I am a pretty big Sandy fan, and I believe that that's more of a front office call. Moneyball isn't fond of hit and run, ect. I don't know the real answer there but my gut tells me that one isn't JUST on Collins.

The guy got picked off of 1st base the bottom of the 8th in a game where they blow a save. I would have commented whomever did it. Your oversensitivity to any comment of something Flores does wrong it silly. I get it you love the kid and it bothers you to have to read something his did wrong.

Phil, it isn't a big deal but I do think you are over sensitive to anything Flores.
I hardly bashed him. I didn't even mention him by name. I only commented about the game in the moment. And as I explained before I don't hate him at all, I root for him as much as any other Met wearing the uniform.

That's fine steve. To each his own. I really don't think I'm oversensitive but I get it if that's your impression. The funny thing is that I would talk about him a lot less if people didn't irrationally kill Flores day in day out. I find that just as annoying as my "over sensitivity" probably seems to you. But that's fine. We know were each other stand.
How about all the times in Mets threads where if people said that they should move him from ss I have said that they shouldn't and since this was the plan entering the season they needed to give it much more time? Was that irrationally kill Flores as well?
