Tejada DFA'ed
spike : 9:48 am : link : reply
"e Cardinals have designated Ruben Tejada for assignment in order to make room on their roster Matt Carpenter. Tejada, who was with the Mets from 2010 to 2015, was cut by the Mets during spring training despite being tendered a contract earlier in the offseason. The Cardinals then signed him to a one-year deal to replace their injured shortstop Jhonny Peralta.
Shortly after that, Tejada himself was injured, leading to Jedd Gyorko starting at short on Opening Day for St. Louis. With Gyorko disappointing, Aledmys Diaz took over, and he's played like an All-Star, as he currently sports a .918 OPS on the season. With Peralta now playing in rehab games, Tejada's spot on the big-league roster was already tenuous.
Tejada was the Mets' starting shortstop in the first two games of the NLDS last year but was famously injured on a takeout slide from Dodgers by Chase Utley. The slide led to a rule change around takeout slides and folk hero status for Tejada, who received a standing ovation at Citi Field for Game 3."

By the way: The only extra-base hit allowed by Clayton Kershaw this season after getting ahead 0-1 in count, in 151 ABs -- Bumgarner, HR.
"With Terry Collins in line to manage the All-Star Game for the first time in his career, he knows he likely will have some tough choices to make mostly surrounding his starting rotation.
Ive already had a lot of people ask me how many of my own pitchers Im taking, Collins said. And thats an honor to think I have that kind of staff that they all have to be thought of and I will think about them. Wilmer Flores could return to the team Sunday from his minor league rehab stint from a tight hamstring.'"
TC should take Noah, Steven, Bartolo and Jacob to the ASG, along with Jeurys! I expect Cespedes to get voted in as a starting OF

Colon is having a good season but he shouldn't be in the ASG. There is quite a few more deserving SP's in the NL.
"The second time through the order, we're seeing things he's doing that are keeping him from having the ability to make the pitches he needs to make," Collins said. "We're seeing a velocity drop, and there is a reason for that. We're seeing a lack of a feel for his breaking ball."

The @Mets will love @theloney_s a real PRO / line drive hitter & a gold glove / limited power / solid teammate
Most teams don't have much interest in 1B who averages 9 HR per year or whatever it is. But Mets need a contact hitter more than they need another HR hitter. They are loaded with power.
Plus, his defensive will be a big positive. To be honest, with this lineup, I don't think a Loney/Flores is much of a downgrade from Duda--especially this year's Duda.

Time to move on with Utley. He seems to thrive on this attention.
I'd like to make sure this is not done. THey likely will. But i'd just wait until eh was sure it was done and then make sure he realized it was not. Mainly because of the homers. The bad ejection was bad enough but the homers...still needs to pay
was one of the worst hitters in baseball but he absolutely is better than Campbell. So at least there is that. No brainer move but he's likely AAA cannon fodder at this point in his career. Maybe he surprises.
and shifted to Walker to first and promoted Herrera or maybe tried Conforto at 1B to get Lagares more play. I do agree its a bit of a stretch with Conforto though. I don't think he's played the infield since high school.

You're right I think the better move would be to move Conforto to 1B which would strengthen the defense in both CF and LF with Cespedes moving to LF and Lagares starting in center. I am a little surprised that they aren't planning on playing TDA at first while he rehabs because he is a liability behind the plate.

Suggest you check his "vs. RHP" stats since that probably what he'll be hitting against virtually all the time.

VS right-handed hitters in 2015 he put up a sweet wRC+ of 97. He's also been been a hair above league average his entire career offensively including his "glory days". Worst.. his defense has deteriorated over the last two years to where he's actually a liability in the field. Don't want to piss anyone's cheerios but he is a very ordinary player at best. There's a reason he's been playing in AAA.
That lineup is awful. I never thought we'd see a "June 2015" lineup again but my God if we aren't close. Cespedes has quietly been 0-his last few games as well. We better PRAY he isn't about to go on a cold streak.
This is easily a wave the white flag game. lol. Give me my Loss so I can watch Game of Thrones in peace.

Which is why I prefaced my original comment with "anybody is better than Campbell". Upgrading to Loney from Campbell however isn't all that encouraging IMO though. Literally any player on this entire earth would be an upgrade over Campbell. In order to get Loney we will have to DFA somebody and Im praying its Campbell and somebody takes him. Im over it.

The idea that you can take an OF who has never played first base and just convert him to 1B at the major league level is assinine. That is not the solution for this problem. Please stop with that nonsense.
running path to specifically run into Walker. Why can't they just make the runners slide into the bag??? I mean, can it be any easier to eliminate this shit?
If I was the defender, I'd jump to avoid the tag and then make sure to come down with my cleats in the runners face. Knock out a few teeth and see if the slide like that again.
RE: Collins should not be allowed to wear a 1986 uniform
Rule 6.01(i) -- Sliding to Bases on Double Play Attempts
If a runner does not engage in a bona fide slide, and initiates (or attempts to make) contact with the fielder for the purpose of breaking up a double play, he should be called for interference under this Rule 6.01. A "bona fide slide" for purposes of Rule 6.01 occurs when the runner:
(1) begins his slide (i.e., makes contact with the ground) before reaching the base;
(2) is able and attempts to reach the base with his hand or foot;
(3) is able and attempts to remain on the base (except home plate) after completion of the slide; and
(4) slides within reach of the base without changing his pathway for the purpose of initiating contact with a fielder.
A runner who engages in a "bona fide slide" shall not be called for interference under this Rule 6.01, even in cases where the runner makes contact with the fielder as a consequence of a permissible slide. In addition, interference shall not be called where a runner's contact with the fielder was caused by the fielder being positioned in (or moving into) the runner's legal pathway to the base.
Notwithstanding the above, a slide shall not be a "bona fide slide" if a runner engages in a "roll block," or intentionally initiates (or attempts to initiate) contact with the fielder by elevating and kicking his leg above the fielder's knee or throwing his arm or his upper body.
If the umpire determines that the runner violated this Rule 6.01(j), the umpire shall declare both the runner and batter-runner out. Note, however, that if the runner has already been put out then the runner on whom the defense was attempting to make a play shall be declared out.
because he was not going to allow his team not to pay back Utley.
If Collins had taken care of business in the first game with a 5-1 lead, then Thor does not have to do it on his own and does not get tossed and Mets maybe win the game.

Agreed. Have no issue with Thor doing what he did. That said, I still can believe he got tossed for it. How come Bush wasn't ejected after beaning Bautista? Or Hughes after he threw at Donaldson, twice??? He didn't even get a warning!!! Complete bullshit... and it fucked us of any chance of winning last night.

The lack of consistency is really the thing. For some reason, baseball wants to protect this little fuck Utley.

He did nothing, settled nothing, and the game was lost. If you want to hit him, hit him. Scared of killing him? Buzz him. His heart was in the right place, I'll give him that.
that inning. And Terry has ZERO feel for a game. I'm pretty sure the 11 year old girl with ice cream all over her face could do just as good a job at managing as Terry.
Rather than provide further details about whats bothering Wright, Terry Collins said only that he is being treated with anti-inflammatory medication and will be re-evaluated in 48 hours. Unfortunately, with Wright, weve come to expect worst-case scenarios.
He wasnt available to reporters before Sunday nights game, and the only clue Collins supplied was that the neck pain may be linked to the shoulder stiffness that affected his throwing this month.
David Lennon
Walker was puzzled by slide call. If it was earlier in season, #Mets probably would have won challenge. But now more lenient.
So, essentially all MLB did was take away the neighborhood rule. You can tell that they are really looking out for the safety of the players. What a joke.
Familia has been bad. He's been playing with fire all season and the wall was due to come crashing down at some point. Teams have been all over Familia all season and he was pretty damn lucky up until this Dodger series.
Oh but that's right, he's been dominant this year. Bullshit
Decided to take a look at the thtead and saw this gem among all the others and I got a little confused since I was pretty sure that he was dominating. Looked it up real quick and yep... he has been. So no it's not bullshit. 2 awful games. Manager not even in the conversation as being an idiot to blame.
24 IP
27 Hits (take out the last 2 games and it's 22 IP / 18 Hits)
11 ER
.278 BA
9 of his appearances (out of 25) he has allowed multiple hits.
I loved the guy last year but this year he makes you sweat more often than not. He has not been dominant. But keep on thinking that he has been. I hope he does get back to being so.
think that Familia has been dominant or as effective as he was last season. If your eyes can't tell you that then surely the numbers bear it out in plain black and white.
not sure why the guy who literally "right on cue" makes a consistently psychotic manager remark in literally every single thread would comment on who is "right on cue"...but to move on...
Smoking dope...not seeing things...I don't think its too hard to see he hasn't k'd as many guys and more balls are getting hit hard for hits than last year. Think it's really just what you mean when you say dominant. He hasn't mowed down every hitter in sight and he already had a game where he allowed 4 runs. He didn't have one of those all last year. THe most glaring thing though is that he allowed 6 runs in two games and last year allowed a TOTAL of 16 runs.
Other than that though the stats I posted are not fake. He allowed 2 runs in a month, didn't blow a save and didn't walk a batter. He had more k's than hits allowed by 2x.
But the reason I said anything in general is because there were a handful of guys losing their shit and posting messages on a message board that were off the wall crazy. Emotions get the best of us but wow. Sometimes you'd be completely logical to read this shit and think some people WANT people to suck to prove some sort of point they have. It doesn't matter how many times you say it outloud or to yourself; TC is not a horrible manager nor is Familia bad this season , nor is he at risk of losing his job. He also has a different job than Betances (all of the Yankee relievers have been untouchable, sort of as predicted no?) Was that a serious statement?
not sure why the guy who literally "right on cue" makes a consistently psychotic manager remark in literally every single thread would comment on who is "right on cue"...but to move on...
I think you grossly misunderstand the meaning of "literally" but that's not all that surprising given your...well, mental ineptitude. But I do invite you to prove your accusation about me making a psychotic manager remark on "literally" every single thread.

I'll wait.
My lordy...why bother with this shit? The thing that is weird is just how no one bothers responding to the daily routine. And it's always the same too...you don't dislike or hate or not care for the person you're ranting on. You just go off on them for hours whether its TC, or sandy, or Matt Harvey or Familia, or whatever player isn't playing well that game. Anyone in general who saw that Vaccaro/Harvey thing play out and goes out of their way to defend the media cause by absolutely ripping this kid who is a franchise star (who pitched his fucking balls off to try and carry his team into another WS game by shutting down the Royals) is to me, a complete wacko. This kid has never once gone to the mound and half assed it, but fans of this team like yourself will actually defend reporters for having personal agendas against him for going out in the city or dating models or going to hockey games...its nuts. The kid gets sick and they mock him in the papers. He has a bad outing and this trashbag Vaccaro prints an article about why he'll never be a star or something. This is just another in a long line of Harvey rip jobs. Of course the same guy kills the Mets daily and wakes up to them in the World Series...then talks accountability when he answers to no one for being awful and wrong.
So Harvey goes through his personal shit and this reporter goes completely off the rails with another vicious article just days after his last one. As though the kid should bend over for this guy who despises him....and guess who you "Defend". Not that punk who pitched today right? You don't hate Harvey, nor TC, nor Sandy, nor Familia,nor the Mets. You just are completely disgusted by their pathetic shittyness daily.
I dont need to repost anything...just go search. You got your insulting "you're an idiot" comment in. Not interested in continuing to point out your dumb shit of the day. And again I'm completely fine being an idiot and trying to match you any day I'm in the mood. Have some real things that have happene din my day to day and I get it...I'm lacking intellect because i disagree. COol. Rant and rave as you please about shit you are wayy fucking wrong about. Its all good man.
Call someone out on something you are 100% wrong on and when you are called to the carpet you couldn't be bothered to back it up. Sounds about right.
Then go on your normal tangent about something that wasn't even talked about today. But I guess you are right...it's all the demon reporters...Harvey couldn't possibly bring any of this on himself. Right.
I've actually made a conscious effort to NOT kill TC at every turn this year and I think I did a pretty damn good job waiting until game #49 of the season. Not exactly "every single thread" but I still invite you to provide an ounce of proof to your wild, inaccurate accusation. That is, if you can take Harvey's cock out of your mouth long enough to respond. Unless you can multitask...which is pretty cool, I guess.
He also has a different job than Betances (all of the Yankee relievers have been untouchable, sort of as predicted no?) Was that a serious statement?
Absolutely serious. It was an example of a pitcher who has been dominant, just like Kershaw has been. Another one with a different job than Familia. Point remains. I never said Familia has been bad, only that he has not been dominant, which he hasn't been. Not sure why you have a hard time comprehending that.

The Mets lineup vs. Kerhsaw tonight:
5-for-64, 0 RBI, 17 K.
Not a single Mets player in their lineup tonight has a career RBI vs. Kershaw.
Hits vs. Kershaw in his last 3 outings: 2, 4,3. The three was first time he faced the Mets. So is 3 hits the over/under tonight?

He wasnt available to reporters before Sunday nights game, and the only clue Collins supplied was that the neck pain may be linked to the shoulder stiffness that affected his throwing this month.

Walker was puzzled by slide call. If it was earlier in season, #Mets probably would have won challenge. But now more lenient.

So, essentially all MLB did was take away the neighborhood rule. You can tell that they are really looking out for the safety of the players. What a joke.
Nevertheless, Met bullpen just as bad as Dodgers bullpen, so both teams struggled late. The best moment was watching Utley's bat get sawed off.
Familia has been bad. He's been playing with fire all season and the wall was due to come crashing down at some point. Teams have been all over Familia all season and he was pretty damn lucky up until this Dodger series.
Decided to take a look at the thtead and saw this gem among all the others and I got a little confused since I was pretty sure that he was dominating. Looked it up real quick and yep... he has been. So no it's not bullshit. 2 awful games. Manager not even in the conversation as being an idiot to blame.
Prior to these two games....
Last 16 appearances:
15.1 inn
13 saves
12 ks
0 walks
11 hits
3 earned runs
So what the hell are you talking about?
27 Hits (take out the last 2 games and it's 22 IP / 18 Hits)
11 ER
.278 BA
9 of his appearances (out of 25) he has allowed multiple hits.
I loved the guy last year but this year he makes you sweat more often than not. He has not been dominant. But keep on thinking that he has been. I hope he does get back to being so.
Smoking dope...not seeing things...I don't think its too hard to see he hasn't k'd as many guys and more balls are getting hit hard for hits than last year. Think it's really just what you mean when you say dominant. He hasn't mowed down every hitter in sight and he already had a game where he allowed 4 runs. He didn't have one of those all last year. THe most glaring thing though is that he allowed 6 runs in two games and last year allowed a TOTAL of 16 runs.
Other than that though the stats I posted are not fake. He allowed 2 runs in a month, didn't blow a save and didn't walk a batter. He had more k's than hits allowed by 2x.
But the reason I said anything in general is because there were a handful of guys losing their shit and posting messages on a message board that were off the wall crazy. Emotions get the best of us but wow. Sometimes you'd be completely logical to read this shit and think some people WANT people to suck to prove some sort of point they have. It doesn't matter how many times you say it outloud or to yourself; TC is not a horrible manager nor is Familia bad this season , nor is he at risk of losing his job. He also has a different job than Betances (all of the Yankee relievers have been untouchable, sort of as predicted no?) Was that a serious statement?
I think you grossly misunderstand the meaning of "literally" but that's not all that surprising given your...well, mental ineptitude. But I do invite you to prove your accusation about me making a psychotic manager remark on "literally" every single thread.
I'll wait.

My lordy...why bother with this shit? The thing that is weird is just how no one bothers responding to the daily routine. And it's always the same too...you don't dislike or hate or not care for the person you're ranting on. You just go off on them for hours whether its TC, or sandy, or Matt Harvey or Familia, or whatever player isn't playing well that game. Anyone in general who saw that Vaccaro/Harvey thing play out and goes out of their way to defend the media cause by absolutely ripping this kid who is a franchise star (who pitched his fucking balls off to try and carry his team into another WS game by shutting down the Royals) is to me, a complete wacko. This kid has never once gone to the mound and half assed it, but fans of this team like yourself will actually defend reporters for having personal agendas against him for going out in the city or dating models or going to hockey games...its nuts. The kid gets sick and they mock him in the papers. He has a bad outing and this trashbag Vaccaro prints an article about why he'll never be a star or something. This is just another in a long line of Harvey rip jobs. Of course the same guy kills the Mets daily and wakes up to them in the World Series...then talks accountability when he answers to no one for being awful and wrong.
So Harvey goes through his personal shit and this reporter goes completely off the rails with another vicious article just days after his last one. As though the kid should bend over for this guy who despises him....and guess who you "Defend". Not that punk who pitched today right? You don't hate Harvey, nor TC, nor Sandy, nor Familia,nor the Mets. You just are completely disgusted by their pathetic shittyness daily.
I dont need to repost anything...just go search. You got your insulting "you're an idiot" comment in. Not interested in continuing to point out your dumb shit of the day. And again I'm completely fine being an idiot and trying to match you any day I'm in the mood. Have some real things that have happene din my day to day and I get it...I'm lacking intellect because i disagree. COol. Rant and rave as you please about shit you are wayy fucking wrong about. Its all good man.
Then go on your normal tangent about something that wasn't even talked about today. But I guess you are right...it's all the demon reporters...Harvey couldn't possibly bring any of this on himself. Right.
I've actually made a conscious effort to NOT kill TC at every turn this year and I think I did a pretty damn good job waiting until game #49 of the season. Not exactly "every single thread" but I still invite you to provide an ounce of proof to your wild, inaccurate accusation. That is, if you can take Harvey's cock out of your mouth long enough to respond. Unless you can multitask...which is pretty cool, I guess.
