Shelby Miller's ERA is up to 7.14.

Can we ditch him?

It gets said alot, but that might be the worst call I've ever seen on a baseball field .

Braves interim manager Brian Snitker getting ripped by local media here. Pulls Tyrell Jenkins during his first ever start after only 64 pitches and 4.2 innings. Only allowed 1 run on 5 hits and had the lead. Let the kid pitch.

Nationals use 3 HRs to beat Brewers 7-4 to avoid sweep


MAKE SOME NOISE

Baker is asking the home fans to crank up the volume in the second half of the season. ''Some of the guys on the team wish our fans were more boisterous and crazy, like we see at different stadiums on the road,'' he said. Taking into account the transient nature of Washington, Baker added, ''We realize a lot of fans are new. We're trying to win everybody over to us. We need their energy, big time.''

Its nothing more than a popularity contest that can be easily influenced and corrupted.

For an allegation such as this you are going to have to post proof.

Shelby Miller's ERA is up to 7.14.

I've probably been lower on him than anyone else throughout, but even that's 2 runs higher than I expected him to wind up at.

What a stupid, stupid, dumb, moronic thread made by a team whose pro scouting department clearly consisted of a guy reading Baseball-Reference. When the fastball isn't working he's just serving up batting practice.

How did Shelby Miller play so well last year?

 

[Bobby Orrtuzzo]

I remember being upset we (St. Louis) lost him, even though I was excited to get Heyward.

Now....I'm not too upset at all.

I thought Miller's ceiling was a #3 starter before the trade. They gave up so much to get him. Granted, Inciarte has been bad, and Blair has been worse than Miller, but losing Swanson could set a team back a decade if he pans out.

 

[rangerssharks414]

Glasnow had a hitless but inefficient first inning. He walked one. His fastball sat around 94. I don't recall seeing a changeup yet.

 

[Pwnasaurus]

Cards are in rough shape right now missing 3/4 of their IF

 

[Sacha Baron Corbin]

Man I didn't realize how rough of a go it's been for Tampa. 3-19 in their last 22 yikes

Shelby Miller's ERA is up to 7.14.

& David Price has a 4.64 ERA.

 

[rangerssharks414]

& David Price has a 4.64 ERA.

Price's advanced stats at least give him some hope of turning it around. Miller is just awful.

 

[Pwnasaurus]

There goes Glasnow's ERA courtesy of the bathtub mathematician.

 

[rangerssharks414]

Glasnow's day ends with four runs given up. He pitched better than that, though.

We're so cursed..

The Mets probably were going nowhere this year anyway. I think they make the playoffs as a WC but would be surprised if they did much, the lineup is a mess with injuries and I don't know how well Syndergaard or Matz will hold up by the time October comes around. You just hope this does not end Harvey's career because it has a track record of doing that or causing guys to lose significant velocity.

Turner Field is more pitcher friendly than Chase Field, I guess.

 

[Virtanen18]

Turner Field is more pitcher friendly than Chase Field, I guess.

I mean, is that it? Or were there some underlying red flags I didn't see?

 

[MurrayBannerman]

Yes, Turner Field's fences are 600 feet further out and all the outfielders get hoverboards.

Umm, we were suppose to build of last year but health and an inconsistent offense has let them down big time. The biggest asset cannot for the life of them stay healthy this season. The Mets are their rotation and they can only go as far as they take them. In a sport where pitching wins, the Mets seem to have problems.

This is not uncommon to see a team where the staff is mostly young have a regression in the year following them making a deep playoff run. The Giants did it like 3 times in the past few years and they also had tons of injuries in those seasons too. The 87 Mets also had a similar season transpire to this year. The 1994 Braves PROBABLY were a good example of it too, of course we never will know but they were 8 out with about 65 games to play.
