Game Day Thread 04.28.21 - Red Sox (Pivetta) @ Mets (He isn’t human deGrom)

[d-money]

A struggle just to get out of the inning.

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

When there's only 3 umps, maybe MLB should allow more video replays.

[d-money]

57 pitches for pivetta still in the 3rd inning.

Ya he’s holding it at 0 but lots of pitches. Hope he can go 6 tonight.

[d-money]

Pivetta looking at 5 innings at best.

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

2 very good reasons deGrom should come to the SOX. 1) he'd have more runs to work with and 2) the SOX wouldn't have to face him.

Same here. We shall see. Need to find a way and get runs.

Cora: "deGrom's pitching tonight."

Devers: "Hold my beer."

[d-money]

This sucks. Looks like our pitching will have to pitch shutout baseball.

Even though it's the Mets, better safe than sorry. Take him out after 5.

[moonslav59]

We keep missing scoring opportunities.

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

Might have to start calling X-man 'double-clutch."

[a700hitter]

Renfroe and Cordero should watch this Pivetta’s AB

Cordero is still resetting.

 

And J.D. is a better fielder than Cordero.

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

Man on 2nd with 2 outs against deGrom, imho, isn't much of a scoring opportunity.

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

Better to hit the batter than walk him; less pitches.

[a700hitter]

Pivetta is not looking like a 5 ERA hurler.

[TylerD]

Pivetta dealing!!

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

Don't want to be Debbie Downer, but pitching well against the Mets shouldn't get our hopes too high. Hell, the only reason the Mets' players bring a bat to the plate is because it's a league rule.

Lmao!!!!! Well said

No doubt but some of these guys have the capability to do it against good teams.

[iortiz]

Cordero is still resetting.

I’d rather Duran over them any day of the week.

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

It's a one run game; the Mets' manager should PH for deGrom. Please.

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

No doubt but some of these guys have the capability to do it against good teams.

 

EO and E-ROD have that capability. Imho, the other 3 are still question marks.

[iortiz]

I shouldn’t drop Pivetta in Fantasy. Last start he posted a QS. Today he is about to post another one.

[d-money]

Those walks lead to trouble.

[d-money]

EO and E-ROD have that capability. Imho, the other 3 are still question marks.

 

Richards’s stuff was nasty last night. I think it depends on how the stuff looks.

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

deGrom also runs quite fast. I want an investigation. Make deGrom take that "I'm not a robot test' on the internet.

[TylerD]

EO and E-ROD have that capability. Imho, the other 3 are still question marks.

 

Pivetta has some good stuff but his walks and high pitch count is concerning

 

That was always my biggest problem. That and I wasn’t very good at throwing a ball.

[mvp 78]

Pivetta looking niiiice tonight.
