Why did pea brain take him out to use Robles for a 4th night in a row? especially considering how bad he was on the third night
He looked gassed in that 3rd inning. Velocity was still good, but his pitches were not as crisp and he was not locating as well. I hate seeing Robles in there, but Smoker was running on fumes.
He doesn't walk Gordon and set up the DP with one of the slowest men in baseball coming up. Totally dumb move. But it works. Mets are destined to win this game.
He's off to a very encouraging start to the season and I think this is going to be a big year for him. I really believe he is going to show this year the promise he had coming into the Majors was justified.

Not dumb when you consider that if you do not get the DP you have Yelich up with runner in scoring position
With Yelich, Stanton, Bour, and if anyone gets on, Ozuna due up in the bottom half of this inning, I just don't see this run holding up, but hope I'm wrong.

You need one run to win. Gordon is just as likely or more likely to get a hit than Yelich. Every other manger in baseball walks Gordon to set up the DP with Ellis. It's a complete no brainer. But Terry doesn't and it works. LOL
open long enough but always nice to wake up to see they punched one across and made it hold up. Happy for TdA, just hope this is the year he can stay healthy.
is how hesitant Collins is to get younger players involved. I get it with Granderson and the outfield situation. These are proven good players who are all coming off good years.
What I dont get is why Collins is so hesitant to use somebody like Smoker or Sewald more when guys like Montero and Edgin have been mediocre options for years now. Why not "try" the options that have dominated AAA? It was as clear as day Smoker was Collins's last resort last night. Edgin almost cost us the game and Montero is "meh" at best. Smoker truly showed what he was capable of last night. It's a shame Sewald only got to pitch for one whopping inning while he was up.
Get Edgin and Montero out of here. We'll never improve if we are going to keep sticking with these mediocre players.
Go MC!
Smoker? Robles?
Collins wants multiple innings out of Smoker without burning Reed for tomorrow
How hard is he throwing?

I wasn't paying that much attention but I did see one fastball at 96.
With Robles in the game here, isn't this the 4th night in a row? Does anyone NOT think this game is going to be over here in this inning?

To the 16th we go!

As high as 97 with a nasty change and slider. The change was more impressive than anything IMO.

already has 9 RBIs after what 14 all last season?
Almost drove up for the game tonight, glad I stayed home or else I wouldn't have been home until 4 a.m.
most HR in a single season is 264 by 1997 Mariners
Hard to break those steroid era records

I feel asleep in the 12th inning. So much time invested in a game to fall asleep in the 12th. So pissed as myself.
I think I would have been more pissed if they lost though (obviously).
