NFT: Red Sox at Mets Game 1 Thread

it on the other thread but looks like Duda will be out a while longer. Hopefully not too much.

DMM - of COURSE Duda will be out longer. They haven't had anyone come back on time yet this season, why start now?

and have Uribe at first, lol. A complete righthanded hitting lineup where 7 out of 8 kill lefties. Haha.

in CF

Scarlyn Reyes brings a 1.33 August era into his final start of the month #Mets


Prevost's K rate sucks, 0 homers allowed though... Koch 2.0? lol

Gotta believe he's a SP for the 2016 Cyclones

matchup for the Mets IMO.

this will be a good test.

Juan Lagares CF
Granderson RF
Cespedes LF
Wright 3B
Cuddyer 1B
Flores 2B
d’Arnaud C
Tejada SS
Harvey RHP

Simon had a piece on Cespedes and the hole in his swing vs. lefties. Something to watch going forward especially with Kershaw, Bumgarner, Lester etc as possible opponents.

relief pitching, dead last in fwar. Outside of the japanese pitchers, everybody else pretty much not good.

Gordon Edes @GordonEdes
Hanley Ramirez is scratched from Sox lineup; Jackie Bradley Jr in left

Since the All Star break

addition by subtraction for the Red Sox, Hanley has been a disaster, and JBJ is on fire (or was, haven't kept up)

is a 1b next year lol

He's been getting his teeth kicked in lately.

the best player in all of baseball. STUD. ;)

two mistakes on the base paths and scored. LOL.

Sandy never entertained Hanley Ramirez. Holy smokes has he been awful. -1.6 WAR?? LOLZ.

I thought we should have signed him at the time.

Choo. They have all been disaster signings. Not one of them is giving even replacement level production. lol

guys except Choo. I thought Hanley at SS could change the lineup, Cano would have solved 2b for the next decade, Ellsbury lead off and CF, etc.

At this point, I'm glad they signed none of them.

I also wanted to sign Scherzer and Lester.

if we don't sign Cespedes. I hope we make him a fair offer. But I don't want to go crazy for a 30 year old. We all get thirsty over the "names" but guys in their 30s just don't play well for 6 or 7 years in the post-steroid era anymore. It just doesn't happen. It will almost assuredly end up a bad deal for us. Look no further than our own David Wright. Love the guy but his contract is going to be terrible ifs not already.

hustle Wright, I thought he was gunned there. Both runs should have been gunned at the plate.

Nice! Ill take it. That was bad news bears shit.

should have been thrown out at home. lol

I hold my breath every time he has to do anything remotely physical.

relatively reasonable.

They need to tell Wright to cool it with the aggressive base running until the World Series.

for Hanley. Lol. The Red Sox are a worst team for him just being alive. He is that horrid.

reasonable. He has us re-signing Murphy at 12 million a year and Cespedes for 25 million per. Plus re-signing Blevins... He also factors in the entire 40 man where Sandy only factors in about 5-10 extra. Anyways...


Here it is, the projected 2016 Mets payroll for w/Cespedes -$137million

Starting Offense - $96.5million

Wright - 20

Cuddy - 12.5

Cespedes - 25

Grandy - 16

Lagares - 2.5

Duda - 8.0

TdA - .5

Murph - 12

Bench - $9.5million

Flores - .5

Plawecki - .5

Herrera - .5

Tejada - $3.0

Conforto - 5.0

Starters - $16.5million

Niese - 9

Harvey - 6?

deGrom - .5

Thor - .5

Matz - .5

Bullpen - $6.0million

Familia - .5

Blevins - 3.0

Torres - .5

Verrett - .5

Edgin - .5

Goeddel - .5

Robles - .5

Rest of potential 40 man - $8.5million

Wheeler - .5

Recker - 1.0

Alvarez - .5

Black - .5

Campbell - .5

Ceciliani - .5

Gilmartin - .5

Monell - .5

Morris - .5

Muno - .5

Tovar - .5

Tnoa - .5

Nimmo - .5

Kirk - .5

40th guy - .5

is even with Murphy and Cespedes the payroll is only around 135. You subtract Murphy and now your down to 123 million. The payroll right now is around 116. Your basically right there. Its very doable. And this is very conservative offering more than we probably even would.

Harvey is the fucking man.

Soon as the Flores trade fell through the Karma Gods have been on our side. ;) God is a Flores fan.

damn it

Motherfucker.

this bullpen. In a playoff game I think Harvey goes out for the 7th, but nonetheless the bullpen is an issue.

The 7th should be Robles. Verrett has been good but he's gone from starting to relieving all in a week. I wouldn't have had him in such a crucial spot so early.

Has to hate this shit. How many gms do the fuck up when he leaves with a lead?

.

actual number of wins he has. For someone as competitive has Harvey, it has to eat him up playing for the mets.

He was not good. But it also helps when the ump gives you strikes that were in the other batters box.

can be scored on.

Cuddy. Do it again!

Let's fucking go.
