MLB regular season thread - Part 9: Mets freefall Edition

[JWK]

Inevitable.

Indians need to trade for an OF with no Brantley or Almonte (due to his suspension) available in the playoffs.

They should trade for Gerardo Parra IMO

 

[Marc the Habs Fan]

Nah. We'll be fine. Got this far without him.

I had forgotten they traded for Guyer. Guyer/Davis-Naquin-Chisenhall is OK if they remain healthy.

Disappointing showing by Cole. Pirates gave him a nice lead and it's now 4-3 LA.

 

[Sacha Baron Corbin]

Looked like nothing but good clean fun from the Cardinals today!

 

[Terry Yake]

Josh Reddick has been trash

really wanted to see him do well in LA. it's not too late though

but i'm still loving that return

 

[Vamos Rafa]

McCutchen: just an off year or the beginning of a steady decline?

 

[JWK]

Lmao the ump ejected Tyler Anderson because ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

 

[hockeykicker]

Trea turner cycle watch: had homer, triple and single in 5 innings

 

[Big McLargehuge]

McCutchen: just an off year or the beginning of a steady decline?

A bit of both.

18 LOB for the Bucs today. It's feast or famine with this team, seems like once a week we have a game like this.

Cole being absurdly easy to hit since coming back from injury doesn't bode well, either.

 

[Marc the Habs Fan]

deGrom is so good and the Mets offence is so pitiful.

 

[Marc the Habs Fan]

Oh Mets.

Myers homers to tie it with 2 out in the 9th.

God awful pitch by Familia, flat fastball down the middle. deGrom gets screwed out of a win, again.

 

[hockeykicker]

Stanton pulled something trying to go for second on base hit causing him to be tagged out easily to end game. Didn't look good sadly

 

[Taro Tsujimoto]

Mets get a gift win as Schimpf stupidly decided to throw home when throwing to first would've (in all likelihood) completed an inning ending double play.

 

[Marc the Habs Fan]

And the Marlins proceed to lose a 2nd straight to the White Sox with Sale going tomorrow against Koehler.

Love Stanton but at this point the injury prone tag fits.

Tigers squeak one out by a 2-0 score to put an end to their losing streak, amazingly scoring only 2 on 14 hits. Mariners up 4-3. Bumgarner and the Giants up 2-0 on the O's.

 

[Reality Check]

That was easily Boyd's best game as a Tiger. He has been fairly solid overall but that was the first time I can recall him going more than six innings.

Detroit needed that win badly too.

 

[Quid Pro Clowe]

Don't look now, but Billy Butler is almost batting .300.

 

[ryan callahan]

And the Yankees are back in the WC race. I swear these guys won't ever go away. What a division is the AL East this year!

 

[Terry Yake]

Don't look now, but Billy Butler is almost batting .300.

butler has actually been pretty solid at the plate this season

 

[hockeykicker]

Stanton is going to the disabled list. Huge loss for marlins

I still can't believe that the Tigers got that many hits, yet only managed 2 runs...well, not quite, as at times, the Tigers can't run the basepaths or they hit into DPs like no one's business.

And the Tigers could've/should've won at least a game in Seattle, but the bullpen. Only if the team could stay healthy, it would almost be like getting several trades if Zimmerman et al can come back and play well (soon).

Ever since he started getting regular at bats he's been hitting the ball everywhere.

Gomez 2 CLE e5

 

[Falco Lombardi]

The Cardinals Mets series next week could be very very ugly the way those two teams are playing.

 

[NJDevs26]

I'm stunned there are this many empty seats for the Rivera monument plaque ceremony.

Then again I've stuck by the air conditioner all weekend, being out exposed in the open on a 95 degree day isn't exactly ideal.

 

[Marc the Habs Fan]

Stanton is going to the disabled list. Huge loss for marlins

Conley is going to the DL too. Their thin rotation after Fernandez is now paper thin.

It's going to be Pirates vs Cards for the 2nd WC in my view. The Fish are already down 2-0 against Sale today.

mookie valuable player?
