OT: 2018 MLB Thread

german finally pitches OK and they lose....

 

[Better Call Sal]

ANDUJAR!

This Yankee team is unreal.

Mets should start sending all those pitchers over to the Bronx. We can send you some prospects back.

Seriously though. Who in this Mets lineup is supposed to strike fear in a pitcher’s heart? Send deGrom to the Bronx.

deGrom is basically LeBron James at this point, looking at the rest of his teammates and saying 'seriously bros?' Only a great player can't dominate in baseball as much as basketball.

You're welcome in advance Yankee fans for the inevitable Stanton breakout. The over-under on his HR's this weekend is 3.5...he owns Citi the way the early 2000's Devils owned the Rangers.

And not for nothing but Callaway's getting a John MacLean like vibe from me, just seems so out of his depth in every way from the lineup snafu to the pressers where he talks too much (referring to Ces's contract when talking about his injury, saying how it wasn't Cleveland anymore, admitting they weren't 'thinking about a collapse' when finally losing a game after 12-2, etc) and the now-historic ineptitude of the offense. Though I wasn't his biggest fan and don't think this team's all that great anyway at this point I'm actually half hoping they bring back TC to see if he has a Lemaire-like effect on them BEFORE we start selling off guys for A-ball relievers again

When will the Mets can the trainers and strength coaches? This is the second year in a row where half the team ends up on the DL because of a series of muscle strains and soreness.

When will they bring in guys who can field and hit?

When the Wilpons sell the team. I think they're always going to blame Madoff. They'll blame him even after the new Belmont arena is built

They already did can Ray Ramirez and company this offseason, that's the scary part

New trainer, new manager and coaching staff - same crap, actually even worse crap.

Judge dongers sustain me.

LOL...shows you how closely I follow the Mets.

 

[NJDevs26]

3-15 in their last 18, 15-33 since the fluke first two weeks of the season - this is Johnny Mac territory now. If the Mets didn't have Rip Van Sandy in the front office now would be the time to pull the plug on Callaway but the Mets being the Mets don't care about managers, will procrastinate till it's too late to get anything other than A-ball relievers for anyone at the deadline because they still want to sell tickets and won't cover any of the salary. And they'll still try to sell the fanbase on all the what ifs magically bouncing our way next year.

So with all of this hypothetical Degrom to the Yankees talk... how much would it take and is it the right move that the Yankees should make if it’s purging their farm team.

IMO if it’s a few high end 1-9 players then I do it as lots of those guys are blocked by other young talent currently playing.

It will never happen unless you want to give up a good bat and your entire system

They have one of the top farms in the league so I would think it’s possible.

 

[NJDevs26]

It'll never happen cause Cashman and Sandy aren't Shero and Gorton. They couldn't even work out Neil Walker and Jay Bruce rental trades last season without bad blood (there has been bad blood between the two GM's in the past as well) and Met ownership nixing at least one of the deals last summer because they don't want to deal with the Yankees either.

 

[Emperoreddy]

I am still a fan of the Todd Father.

He is from Tom’s River in case you didn’t hear YES mention it 2000 times.

 

[NJDevs26]

RIP the pitching career of Ohtani...likely needs TJS and could be out till 2020

 

[Better Call Sal]

Ugh, that is such a shame. It's really disheartening to see all of these guys having to go under the knife for TJS so quickly.

 

[New Jersey]

yankees don't need degrom when the only guy who could completely shut them down this weekend was seth lugo.
