NFT: Mets vs. Yankees: AKA Judge vs. Conforto

This should go well.

deGrom and Gray tomorrow - assuming deGrom isn't banged up, that will be a tough one.

Garcia vs. Lugo in game three is no big advantage one way or another.

Severino vs. Matz in game four is advantage Yankees on paper, but Matz is certainly capable.

If anyone's expecting the Yanks to steamroll this week, you might be disappointed.

every game, but Conforto goes off and Judge strikes out every time.

LOL, just kidding (only kidding about Conforto and Judge, not about losing) but some of you take this stuff too seriously, Mets and Yankees aren't rivals other than in the hearts and minds of insecure fans.

Have been making pitchers with high ERA's look like CY Young since June Met fans should not worry about montero tonight. He will pitch a good game. Yankeee fans should be worrying about Cessa it could be batting practice for the Mets tonight

Exactly. And I think the Mets are going to put up a big fight these next four games and take 3 out of 4. This Yankee team is lost right now. Take away that 6 game winning streak to close out July and this team has been a complete shit show since June.

How many series have the Yankees won in the past two months? One or two I think. Yankees have been mediocre for a long time. They desperately need Bird and Castro to come back and produce.

Only Conforto vs Judge play. Lol

had a very disappointing second season and is now looking like a star. Judge had an INSANE first half, is now struggling and yet still has a higher fWAR than all but 2 rookies over the past 3 seasons (Bryant/Seager). I understand it looks ugly when a high K guy is struggling but this stuff is getting out of hand. Lest we forget Judge was viewed as a guy with ++ raw power that had yet to learn how to "use it" in game... and then he did.

for years to come.

The only advantage I see is in the Yanks training staff. yes that is a joke.

the last 55 games the Mets have a better record than the Yanks. Shows you how important it is to win games in April.

Whiffle Ball Tourney!

He has been consistent all year but his OPS is currently at one of his lowest points in a while.

I mentioned his OPS which at times has been higher than it is currently. Yes, he's hit a few HR recently which is nice. I wouldn't really say he's on fire, however.

That's any series in that crappy Phillies bandbox.

.

That would be something

I thought only Judge was allowed to do that.

Nice.

Cabrera had a very weak single but yeah 3 Ks for Cessa

I know the results have been there but his stuff looks a million times better.

Well, there's Judge's K. 31 straight games?

the ankles called as if Judge is a midget

We miss you.

on pitches Judge could hit only with a driver.

One more game and he ties Dunn's all time record.

a strike.

It wouldn't be the worst thing for him to have a word with the umpire once in a while

on called strikes. Joe has got to say something.

It was close, but no denying that he gets that called a strike against him FAR more than the average major leaguer.

Or Roberto Alomar if he's looking to distance himself from the Jeter temperament comparisons...

Aside form the BOS game, he's looked good in the field.

Judge needs to get sent down and /or put on the "DL".

Fuckin madness.

Cessa looking alright...

I just don't understand some fans. Can't wait to play all the prospects. Can't wait to call a kid the next face of the league, but all it takes a one bad slump before he gets angrily tossed out with the trash.

I really hate how they call that striking out the side.
Striking out the side should be you k 3 batters in a row. Now walks,hits or errors.

I tend to agree, but I hear that often enough to say it.

JFC, no wonder this world is fucked up. I was responding to somebody posting that Chapman shouldn't close any more because he is struggling and said that they should send Judge down til he gets his swing straightened out, also.

Sorry my sarcasm was not readily apparent to the unwashed masses. It's not like sarcasm is foreign or new to my posts.

You're usually so serious 'bout Yanks, I'm not surprised people took that comment so seriously...

Boy does Curtis love this park.

Oh well

Judge almost robbed that. I'll take it!

before this series is over.

I am serious that is exactly why I wrote it.

is not a ML starter. Why do we keep doing this while a top 100 prospect dominates at AAA? He missed his spot by about 3 feet.

Plenty of innings left.

Don't freak out. Don't freak out.

Good stuff, but completely incapable of getting through 4-6 innings without several mistakes that get hit 350-450 feet. He missed the spot on the Cespedes HR as badly as humanly possible.
