    Peaking early.
  2. moonslav59
    Mets pitched a no hitter, today with 5 pitchers.
  3. moonslav59
    Had it all along! LOL
  4. moonslav59
    He's slumping, now.
  5. moonslav59
    Bello with a little loss of control. 5.1 IP 3 H 2 ER 4 BB 8 K Winckowski pulled early: 2.2 IP 4H 2 ER 0 BB 3 K Padron-Artilles 5.0 IP 4 H 2 ER 3 BB 4 K Bastardo 4.0 IP 4 H 0 ER 2 BB 5 K Games still in progress

    Me, too, but this really has to help his confidence.
  7. moonslav59
    That sure changed quickly. Oh, the wonders of small sample sizes.
  8. moonslav59
    That's why they called him up. That hope.
  9. moonslav59
    I doubt his defense improved much in a year.
  10. moonslav59
    There was another option: SS Story 2B Arroyo
  11. moonslav59
    Exactly, and of the pitchers expected to have meaningful roles on the team, only a few are doing very poorly, as of now: 8.27 Pivetta (1.959 WHIP) 4.85 Hill (1.615) 5.40 Barnes (1.350) .600 Diekman (2.000)
  12. moonslav59
    I didn't say "no hitter" or even "no hits."

    I like giving Franchy a shot, now. I thought maybe Fritzy, since he can play 1B, but bye-bye Shaw.
  15. moonslav59
    Probably by game 100.
  16. moonslav59
    Good point. Shaw, Arauz, Refsnyder- yuck! Then, Arroyo and Plawecki are below a .385 OPS, too.
  17. moonslav59
    It's truly amazing how many slots we have open, next winter- not just in the rotation. It's rare for teams to sync contracts like this, especially big spending teams. SP1 Eovaldi (our clear ace over the past 2-3 years) SP3 Wacha (pitching like an ace, now) SP5 Hill (not off to a good start) SS Bogey (a top 2 Sox hitter) DH JD (a top 3 or 4 Sox hitter) CF Kike (a top 2 defensive player and top 5 or 6 hitter) C1 Vaz C2 Plawecki RP Strahm (one of our best pen arms, so far) RP Robles (has been used as a closer for some of our games) JBJ's option is so prohibitive, but technically, he could be gone, too. Others like Travis Shaw might be addition by subtraction or gone before winter.

    "Scheduled days off" might not mean a plan for so and so to have May 12th off. I bet many managers try to give a guy a day off in the next few days and try to choose the best fit. We don't know a lot of what Cora knows, but on the surface, resting Bogey, yesterday did not make a lo of sense to some of us. Maybe he had some health issue or even told Cora he needed a rest. We don't ever know the full picture. I'm fine with resting guys. I think we might be going overboard some on the amount, but I trust these guys know what they are doing. That being said, it doesn't mean I have to agree with every singular moves management makes to still be happy with the totality of their choices and philosophies. Nothing is ever as black and white as many seem to think it is, except that Stork is a troll. That's clear as day to all of us.
  19. moonslav59
    If he's on a season IP limit, then sooner may not be better, but if not, I agree. I'd like to eventaully see Houck as the closer and Whitlock in the rotation, but that might be as far away as 2023.
  20. moonslav59
    I'm not against resting, but I think we sometimes choose the wrong tome to do it. All-in-all, I'm still a solid Cora supporter.
  21. moonslav59
    Our hottest and only hitter, yes. Plus, with JD already out hurt and wasting a start by Whitlock.
  22. moonslav59
    We don't really know, if he can sustain 100+ IP of this type of long relief over 162 games.
  23. moonslav59
    So, maybe morph the two roles and pitch him 1-2 IP more often than he's currently doing 2-4 IP?
  24. moonslav59
    Back to the "long man" or steady closer? If we are, indeed, limiting Whitlock in innings, then I guess either could suit that priority, but maybe being a 1 inning closer would work best, with a few time going 1.1 to 2 IP.
  25. moonslav59
    The only pitcher with a defined role who is doing well is Wacha. Go figure. Whiltock is doing great but has no defined role. I have hope with Houck & Eovaldi, but someone else needs to step up. Yes, I'm avoiding the awful offense. There are no words.
