The next 2 starts will on only 5 days rest and will be at Atlanta on Thursday 8/18 and then 5 days after that in the Boogey Down Bronx against the Prison Stripers on Tue. 8/23 w/an off day the next day.
Ronny went to Yale or Harvard, and it's clear from references he makes that he reads, and that he uses hid mind for more than baseball
Keith is very cosmopolitan, lives in the city, and also makes references to going to cultural events. He is also a student of American history, and knows the civil War thoroughly.
And Gary has a wonderful vocabulary, and is clearly intelligent, and not just another jock, like so many other announcers are.
We are so lucky to have them, but the NY fan base is also very intelligent, and water has found it's mark in the congruence of this fan base and these
announcers.
Conversely, I’d love to see the stats on how many runs

Does anyone really think Buck wants Joely in that situation? This is how it will be in the playoffs - Lugo or May will have to get the lefty hitters out

gets hit by a bus, survives, but can't play baseball again, has he done enough for a spot in Cooperstown?
I'd say so. 2 Cy Youngs, Rookie of the year, 4 time All Star and generally considered the best pitcher in baseball for a long stretch. It wouldn't be unanimous, but I think he'd win it.

I don’t know the answer but I think that with how relatively small his overall body of work still is, the fact that it is a legitimate question shows how dominant he’s been.
He’s knocking on the door. Another Cy would do it. A World Series title in which he pitches throughout the postseason would probably do it.

That would be my concern also, how small his overall body of work is. I have no doubt that his ability is better than most people in the hall of fame, but I don't know that he has the evidence to show it.

Sure beats Apple TV+, lol!
I don’t think Keith lives in the city any more. Unless he just moved there ;he’s lived really far in Long Island . Agreed on all other points.
I tried watching apple at a bar and they had loading problems with the stupid think wheel spinning the whole time. Apple and Amazon becoming classic cases of di- worsification with their forays into sports broadcasting
Diaz didn’t have his most dominant stuff, but prevailed.
Lugo is getting more consistent.
And that call-up who started was ok.
Feel like the off day interrupted the offensive flow a bit, though the Phils have pitched well and played sound baseball. Hoping we can get back to grinding and raising pitch counts against Wheeler today!
in a rush this morning so just some minor league highlights
Raul Beracierta's OPS is now up to .830, his average up to .305 after a 3 hit performance that included his 12th homer for
@stluciemets
. Paul Gervase struck out 4 over 2 innings giving him 9 over 4 pro innings. Chase Estep was on 3 times, including hitting his first pro HR
Brett Baty had a hit and a walk, Francisco Alvarez 0-3, with a K, Mark Vientos added 3 hits, Syracuse committed 5 errors including 1 each from Baty, Alvarez, and Khalil Lee
Phillip Diehl allowed 4 runs over 1 inning of work, he may yet be a decent grab by the Mets but it likely won't be this season
2 hits for Alex Ramirez, Christian Scott 4 scoreless in his
@BKCyclones
debut. Scott's FIP on the season is now a sparkling 2.69 (#1 in the organization amongst SP), William Lugo added a single
Ronny Mauricio recorded a single. August has been a rough one for the lanky SS, .196/.196/.392 with 0 walks over 11 games
Omar De Los Santos's next steal will be his 60th of the season
Only one qualified EL hitter (Dane Myers) has a lower BB% than Ronny Mauricio
@stluciemets
OF Blaine McIntosh OBP (.389) trails only Brett Baty, Fernando Villalobos, Luis Castillo, and the now suspended Karell Paz amongst
@mets
minor leaguers currently playing stateside
I was unaware of this but Diehl will be a minor league FA unless they add him to the 40 man (which seems doubtful)
For those who have not seen him, he has a breaking ball with a huge vertical drop and decent horizontal movement.
He reminds me of Pedro Feliciano but more vertical and less horizontal than Pedro.
Like Pedro, the key will be whether he can throw the breaking ball for strikes. If he does, he will be tough. IMO a good "high risk/decent possible reward" acquisition.
We basically have Superman on our team. Gotta hold on for two innings until Diaz cn come in for the 9th and end this.
A breakdown of Jacob deGrom’s 201 career starts:
147 starts not allowing more than 2 earned runs
107 starts not allowing more than 1 earned run

LOL. I believe you are correct, Sir!
No doubt. You'd have a tougher argument against than for.
We need to start hitting. Only scored one run yesterday and today, it's not enough. Thank God we have great pitching.
I'd say so. 2 Cy Youngs, Rookie of the year, 4 time All Star and generally considered the best pitcher in baseball for a long stretch. It wouldn't be unanimous, but I think he'd win it.
Had a bad feeling all game.. glad they pulled it out.
Let's get the damn bats going tomorrow!!!
I don’t know the answer but I think that with how relatively small his overall body of work still is, the fact that it is a legitimate question shows how dominant he’s been.
He’s knocking on the door. Another Cy would do it. A World Series title in which he pitches throughout the postseason would probably do it.
+1. Great pitchers duel. Reminded me of the 1960's.
not likely. he's basically pitched 4 full seasons.

Really good, well played, enjoyable baseball. Regardless of which team you root for, just good baseball.
Need to win tomorrow to keep it at 5.5 heading into Atlanta

He used to be on the UWS a bunch. Would see him in Westside Market on Broadway and 98thish on occasion

Big day for a couple of injured Mets pitchers.
🔹Tylor Megill (right shoulder strain) is throwing his first bullpen session since his injury.
🔹Drew Smith (right lat strain) is throwing off flat ground for the first time.
Both should be bullpen options down the stretch.
He reminds me of Pedro Feliciano but more vertical and less horizontal than Pedro.
Like Pedro, the key will be whether he can throw the breaking ball for strikes. If he does, he will be tough. IMO a good "high risk/decent possible reward" acquisition.
