Mets - Page 47

While the Binghamton Rumble Ponies somehow overcame the Rockies on Tuesday, Syndergaard left his rehab start with right elbow discomfort.

Will someone please take this pillow and press it on my face until I stop struggling?

Billy McKinney (.207/.260/.359) barely arrived and got his new hat - already batting cleanup!

Westheim · 05-27-2021, 01:08 PM

If they take Stroman out before he gives up a run, I'm gonna riot.

Purple is the absolute worst color. It's just - NO. No, you're WRONG. Bah. There's many reasons not to like the Rockies, and the uniforms are #2 on the list (behind them playing halfway up the stratosphere, where baseball can not logically be played).

You should have seen the Germantown Sausage Vendors'* uniforms the Marlins wore when the Mets were down in the swamp recently. They're part of that utterly stupid promotion with Nike that will have the Red Sox play in yellow and such crap.

*Havana Sugar Kings, actually**

Possessing a hat qualifies you for batting cleanup for the Mets.

Who's our favorite scrub after this glacial-speed double-header sweep of the terribly dressed Rocky Mountains?

A) Jose Peraza!
B) Still and forever, Pat Mazeika
C) I want my Johneshwy ...!

D) Who the heck are these people and why does Gary Cohen keep bringing them up? Is this the Mets at all? Is this real life??

Get ready for our new cleanup hitter...
Johneshwy Mazeika.

I just looked at the Met's numbers...OMG. Just...OMG.

Nimo is the only player on the team with 50+ AB's, that also has an OPS of 100 or more.

Of players not on the IL, Villar is second on the team with ... wait for it ... 12 RBI.

NON PITCHERS OPS? .651.

Westheim · 05-29-2021, 02:24 AM

And yet we're in first place.

I saw that. I didn't look closely at their pitching..or is it the rest of their division sucks balls?

Westheim · 05-29-2021, 11:25 AM

Phillies, Braves all have crippling injuries, too. The Fish have no offense. And I have no idea what the Gnats do, since they preferred to get the 'rona rather than play the Metsies...

Westheim · 05-31-2021, 01:09 AM

My confidence that the Mets will lose fewer than 60 games this year is rising.

But only because I don't think they'll play more than 120.

ESPN headline this morning:

Jacob deGrom's gem lowers ERA to 0.71, lowest through May since 1964

Quote:

Jacob deGrom continues to make history with his otherworldly start to his 2021 season. In his second start since returning from the injured list, deGrom tossed six scoreless innings on Monday in the Mets' 6-2 victory at the Arizona Diamondbacks, lowering his ERA to 0.71, the lowest for a qualified starter through the end of May since Chris Short had a 0.64 ERA for the Philadelphia Phillies in 1964.

https://www.espn.com/mlb/story/_/id/...71-lowest-1964

An amazing aspect of this is that the Mets scored some runs, won the game, and deGrom got the win!

Westheim · 06-01-2021, 11:38 AM

Fun fact: he only qualifies because the Mets have been rained / 'ronad out 93 times so far

BMW · 06-01-2021, 11:19 PM

Lindor is back on the Mendoza line again. Can he get above it?

Westheim · 06-02-2021, 07:24 PM

We actually managed to squeeze out a series win against one of the most rancid teams in baseball. Thanks, Boom-Boom, for only blowing one of two saves in the set.

We love you.

Totally.

He heard you! Three hits today, average up to .209!

Westheim · 06-04-2021, 08:53 AM

That was an excruciating loss (4-3, including a 2-piece that was in Williams' glove and then popped out and over the fence...), and I have a hunch there's three more to come on the weekend.....

Wow, this is getting ridiculous with deGrom. ERA now down to 0.62. They're talking about Bob Gibson's record 1.12 ERA in 1968, the lowest mark of the live-ball era (since 1920).

Here's a bit of a dampener, though. Through June 5, deGrom has started 9 games and pitched 58 innings. He has one complete game, a shutout. Using simple math, that projects to about 28 starts and 180 innings.

In 1968, Gibson started 34 games, completed 28 of them (13 shutouts) and pitched 304.2 innings.

Even if deGrom finishes with a lower ERA than Gibson (what qualifiers to they use for IP?), I have a feeling that comparing deGrom in 2021 to Gibson in 1968 is going to be apples and oranges because of the way the game has changed in the last 50 years.
