Wheeler vs Cole

Bruce HR in the 1st stakes Metsies to a 1-0 lead. Mr Wheeler has a nice, economical 1-2-3 first inning.
Granderson with a leadoff triple

in the 2nd. He's definitely starting to come around. Same for Duda.
McCutcheon 2 Run Bomb

I love Wheeler's stuff, he looks so smooth. It's too bad we're going to have to shut him down in July
TDA unloads with a HR  
Rob in Rockaway : 5/27/2017 8:22 pm : link
3-2 good guys. TDA now 2-2 with 2 RBI after an 0-14 skid
Duda just hit it out of the stadium  
Rob in Rockaway : 5/27/2017 8:46 pm : link
almost went into the river. 4-2 Mets

Hard to understand otherwise how he keeps his job. Quite possibly the worst 3b coach I have ever seen

not Hernandez
Meanwhile Ramirez is in the game

Not like the Mets need this game or anything
Immediately gives up a double

Mets say Cespedes had soreness in his right quad, won't play until at least Tuesday.
Like the rest of our pen for most of the year (minus Blevins)  
PhiPsi125 : 5/27/2017 10:14 pm : link
Reed has been really disappointing. Was not expecting that and it's a big hit.

He's getting hit hard almost every time he takes the mound.

This bullpen is TOAST. He should've just let Pill finish the inning.

"Yoenis Cespedes, who played in his first rehab game on Friday night, was scratched Saturday after he experienced soreness in his right quad while running the bases the night before. Cespedes will be shut down until at least Tuesday, the team announced."

Just DL him for the rest of the season to avoid inevitable amputation

of Edgin's lack of effectiveness? The bullpen is an abject disaster!
Regarding Matz  
Rob in Rockaway : 5/28/2017 10:30 am : link
John Harper reporting in the Daily News this morning that a scout said Matz looks like he is not finishing his pitches in his Rehab starts. Appears to be babying his elbow and got bombed in his last start. "Not ready for an MLB start" according to the scout.

So that calvalry ain't arriving anytime soon (I personally would bet never actually)...
This team is a disaster of epic proportions  
PhiPsi125 : 5/28/2017 10:41 am : link
From the awful manager, to the mismanaging of injured players, to the massive amount of injuries (again), to the inmates running the asylum, and the weakmindeded pitchers they have.

It's sad to see a team with so much promise continue to just take more and more steps back.

It seems like people are always saying wait until Matz and Cespedes come back. When they do return they are quickly re-injured and then the process begins again.
I wouldn't count on Matz

ever be effective again.

Wheeler is more likely to (continue to) be successful next season.

Matz durability issues may force him to the bullpen.
Darling said on Francessa  
Rflairr : 5/28/2017 11:41 am : link
A while back that he thinks Matz really doesn't know how to pitch with normal pain of a starting pitcher. He picked this up early.

Even he comes back, he'll probably go right back to the DL. As soon as his vagina itches again

Good to hear but he really needs to string together 10-12 starts before people will start believing in him again I feel.
Terry bringing his usual LULZ with the lineup  
PhiPsi125 : 5/28/2017 4:56 pm : link
for tonight. Granderson leading off and Lagares is in the lineup....Conforto is sitting. And they aren't even facing a lefty.

The kid is 24 years old. He's been slumping for a whopping three games...if that. He looks fine at the play. Just play the kid. And I fully expect "well, everyone needs a day off" type of BS from some people. That's crap. He's had. So days off in the past ten days. Maybe the best thing for Conforto is to feast off a righty with a near 7 ERA? Nah, let's sit out best offensive player.

God forbid he benches Granderson. I hate Terry Collins.
Meant to say he's had two days off in the past ten.

Five innings of no-hit ball with 8 Ks IN VEGAS!!!

Make Lugo the Closer  
Vanzetti : 5/28/2017 7:15 pm : link
3 innings of shutout ball in AA. Two hits, one of them an infield hit.

Lugo getting hammered in the 4th inning  
Vanzetti : 5/28/2017 7:31 pm : link
Started both games in dominant fashion, only to get hit hard later.

Obvious move would be to make him a reliever but how long will it take this dysfunctional organization to come to that conclusion.


Commentators rarely ever kill major league managers but  
PhiPsi125 : 5/28/2017 9:15 pm : link
I'm really getting tired of these ESPN morons fellating over how Terry kept these players together last season and how they really play hard for him.

This team sleepwalked through the entire season until the very end. TWO YEARS IN A ROW. Can we stop with the false narrative that Terry's great quality is that players love him and they play hard for him? So aggravating. Players don't give up. They don't decide not to play when things are tough. So let's stop with the whole "Terry keeps them together" routine. It's all bullshit because there is literally nothing else you can say about Terry that is a positive.
He's pitching ok so I hate to complain but

Both Rockies and Diamondbacks have been surprisingly good.

I'm afraid the two WC's will come out of the West, along with the Dodgers.

also hate the Warthern gameplan of staying on the outside. You gotta bust guys inside; otherwise, they are looking to go the other way with that outside pitch with two strikes
