Hope he's ok though. McNeil tagged him out on his ankle in midair as he was running leading to that fall.
@WillSammon
The Mets have claimed Michael Tonkin from the Twins. They DFA'ed Tyler Jay.
that tyrone taylor/adrian houser trade is mind boggling btw. that was definitely an 'i owe you my career mr. stearns' trade.
Severino has his ERA down to 2.14.
A little of both. He wasn't supposed to be some sort of star, was viewed as an overdraft by the Brewers 1st round, viewed by most as a good 4th OFer. His ranking in the Brewers system had more to do with their poor drafts than his actual "talent level".
"A standout running back and safety for the Torrance football team, Taylor is an excellent athlete who figures to polish some of his rough edges once he focuses on baseball. A shoulder strain relegated him to DH duties and clouded his draft stock a bit, but Taylor has shown a solid-average arm and good instincts in center field when healthy. His above-average speed also plays on the basepaths, where he is aggressive and gets good reads. Scouts are a bit conflicted on Taylor's bat. He has an unusual load, rocking onto his back leg before moving forward, but he has a fairly efficient swing path and good bat speed. He has a tendency to push the ball, but some he has a chance to develop into a quality doubles hitter with fringy power potential as he matures. Taylor's bat carries risk, but his athleticism and all-around tools package could get the Cal State Fullerton recruit drafted between the second and fourth rounds. "
His speed in the OF never really translated to part of his offensive game and he doesn't really walk (.296 OBP career) so offensively it's kind of a mixed bag upside wise.
Anyways sweep!!! What a turn around after those first 5 games! Thank you rally pimp!

SRF will probably replace him soonish

lmao
that was my takeaway from the first series.
that and wishing the mets somehow had gotten yelich all those years ago.
Whao do you think Stearns brings in DMM?
Quote:
strongly suspect Stearns brings on a GM in the off-season. It's clear he and Arnold were both really great together and that both are tier 1 baseball minds. It's not just a situation where Stearns left Arnold this loaded roster, Arnold has made quite a few strong moves over the past 24 or so months.
Whao do you think Stearns brings in DMM?
I could easily throw out names that he's worked with in the past but then he went and hired Carlos Mendoza so it's tough to say. One name that continues to make sense is Matt Klentak who has a similar background to Stearns, well regarded, not under contract, former GM and whom Stearns reportedly has a good relationship with. That's really just a shot in the dark though.
looks like hall is getting shelled but it seemed like most thought he ends up a reliever any way. mets hit him hard but got unlucky.
and still have the draft pick.
burnes is at .6 fwar right now with junis at .2 and ortiz at .4 so even with hall sucking and hoskins presently 0.0 they got their value back so far.
I think the starting pitching is light and so is the bullpen, but maybe the help is in the system. Not something I expected a year ago looking at organizational top prospect reports when almost none of them had pitchers prominently placed (at least how it seemed). And who knows, maybe Butto turns into a pumpkin or maybe he's solid all year, but a lot of time left and now I have hope. Which as Red from Shawshank tells us:
"Hope is a dangerous thing. Hope can drive a man insane. It's got no use on the inside"

I was ready to ditch the season after 1 week - lol - based on the past two seasons, and they pull me back in.

such a contradiction. How can hope be both good and bad? Really depends on perspective, right?
lol.
Might be a decent year or not, I think they're somewhere in between this and the mess that started the first week of the season.
Have to think Loperfido will be up soon if Abreu continues this.
He gave up 2 ER his 1st appearance in March.
Since then 6 appearances, 8 innings, 3, hits, 3 BBs, 16 K's 0 ER, 4 saves
