2017 Season General Discussion Thread

Thanks Bell, so after that error with 2 outs, he could allow 20 more Rs and still would be only 1 ER?

 

That's correct. He does get charged with the runs, of course.

 

It's one more reason why ERA isn't totally reliable.

 

Just think if the error that was charged was a bad call by the scorer, that it should have been a hit.

 

That would mean Cashner was let off the hook for what should have been 7 more earned runs.

Lester is such a turd sometimes.

 

Yup. We all have fond memories of Jon and we have supported him for so long it feels odd when he says or does something dumb.

 

Newsflash. He has never been that bright.

Andrew Romine played all 9 defensive positions in 1 game for the Tigers yesterday!

So what's the opinion on Terry Collins as a manager? Interesting that the owner apparently blocked his firing on several occasions.

They should fire everybody in that organization, it's incredible that with that talent in the rotation didn't accomplish anything

Pitching was awful this year. The team ERA was 5, which is historically bad for Mets -- only the 1962 team was worse.

Can't get them all to stay healthy long enough. That they only got 7 games out of Thor is one of the keys to their losing season.

Breaking the rules on international players. That sounds so familiar....

When most of your key players, for a few seasons in raw, get injured something is wrong with your coaching/medical staff

This breaks my heart. RIP Roy

If I ever become famous, I swear I will only ever take commercial flights. No private planes, and I certainly will never try to fly one myself. The fatality numbers among celebrities are lower in absolute terms compared to regular people, but the percentage is so much higher. How many athletes, musicians, actors, and politicians have died in plane crashes? s***, there was a time a few decades ago where it seemed like there was a band or musician dying in a plane crash every other day.

 

RIP Roy Halladay. He was a hell of a pitcher and from what little we know as fans, seemed like a hell of a guy too.

That's been the knock on the Mets for years now.

RIP. A true legend.
