MLB regular season thread - Part 9: Mets freefall Edition

[Quid Pro Clowe]

September call ups are less than a week away.

 

[GIN ANTONIC]

This. We should all stick with the Gary Sanchez talk.

I thoroughly dislike the Yankees and I'd be good with this. What the hell is this kid on?

 

[Quid Pro Clowe]

Barrold Bonds's backcreme

 

[Cubs2024WSChamps]

What category in baseball does he even lead?

From the looks of it, MVP front runner.

 

[Swervin81]

Clearly, we have found the source of Martin's hot streak.

 

[MurrayBannerman]

Justin Turner turned on even more after that day.

 

[BackToTheBrierePatch]

This. We should all stick with the Gary Sanchez talk.

hopefully he isn't the next Kevin Maas.

I remember the Yankees and Redsox called up Maas and Phil Plantier right around the same time and they both tore it up. the attention and fame didn't last very long.
Not saying Sanchez is going to do the same, but it seems every year a guy gets called up and rips it up and then gets figured out by MLB pitching.

I still like Ken Phelps bat :shrug:

 

[Eyedea]

Yeah. I remember the articles around Lawrie and how he figured to be among the next young superstars with Trout and Harper.

 

[Halladay]

Shane Spencer*

He was the first person I thought of since Sanchez has gone on this tear.

this Os~Yanks game is full of HRs

 

[Big McLargehuge]

Chris Shelton

*Sorry Realitycheck*

He wasn't a rookie when he had that absurd break-out...but yeah, always the cautionary tale.

9 home runs in the first 13 games of 2006; 9 home runs the rest of his career.

Embarrassing Twins OF play allows the Jays to take the lead. Upton inside-the-park HR.

First, Kepler dives for no reason. Ball goes way behind him. Then he slides while trying to get the ball, kicking it further away, and they run out of time to even attempt a throw.

Kepler is a good young player, but that was minor league-ish. The type of stuff teams that are 30 games under .500 do.

They actually scored that a triple + error, which seems right to me. Upton would have been stopped at 3rd had Kepler not kicked the ball.

 

[SJSharksfan39]

What in the world was the Twins OF doing? That was embarrassing.

 

[SJSharksfan39]

They should have given Upton the Inside the Park HR just because. That was worse than a dumb error.
