Mets have won 6 straight.
Conforto getting praise all around the league.
Is he a young Barry Bonds, without as much power? a talent evaluator asked after studying Conforto. But he might show more power as time goes on.
Wright saying he got out of sorts by relying on a subtle leg kick. Working on adjustment.
Jake Peavy takes on Steven Matz at Citi tonight!

This is awesome though.
What an inning!!!!!!!
Binghamton Mets win 4-1, Dominic Smith hits his second homer and Rainy Lara gets the win.
No Mets fan ever has. Its the first time in their history.
I was a lot of fun.
Did you DVR it?

in little league we were the Indians and the Mets would score at least 12 runs each inning against us, so would the Clippers, Reds, and Blue Jays.
Must have been a fun inning to watch.
Nice way to set the tone for he series
After 7 2/3 of no hit pitching
He was at 116 pitches and has never pitch that far into a game in his career. Kid's gonna be a star.

Everyone kept saying the opposition is stealing on the pitchers. Well, Plawecki has thron out 5 of 8 with the same staff that TDA has thrown out 3 of 17 with.
Plawecki's throw to nail Belt tonight was perfect. Belt had that base stolen and KP nailed him with a great throw.

I watched that entire game and this statement isn't true at all. Noah didn't do a great job at holding the runners on but Let's not make excuses for how bad TdA was/has been. They were running because of TdA, not Syndergaard.
But saying that the runners were sliding in the 2B before the pitch even got to the catcher is just a flat out lie.
Keith and Ron...I've probably quoted maybe twice, probably once. But sure, keep on with the exaggerations. By the way, Keith and Ron never said that they were sliding into 2B before the pitch got the catcher. They did, however, talk about the big jumps they got. Context. It does wonders for credibility.
Do we even need to evaluate how he did in the postseason and that it's continued this year? I mean we can act like scouting reports, advanced stats, minor league performance, and athleticism matter but it's a pretty simple binary observation that he has been a huge weakness.

Holy shit. You thought I was saying they were actually standing on the bag? Jesus man I was exaggerating for emphasis. I was just trying to say they got ridiculously good jumps and had the bases stolen before TDA had a chance. lol. And everybody else? It was pretty much universally agreed in that game the runners were running on Syndergaard.

Dan and I and anyone that knows a damn thing about metrics knows that catching is basically worthless. They have a LONG ways to go. Ive said this here a million times so lets not act like Im being inconsistent now. He was above average throwing out runners last year. He completely cleaned up the passed balls from the year prior. What's left? His range on ops-ups? "Ignore catching metrics"
Again. His throwing was above average last year. That's a fact. No debate. No metrics involved.
They don't. I HATE catching metrics. They use exactly 3 things to weight the grade and a catcher has MANY more factors involved. Its just funny that he graded positively anyway.
