Oh yeah and this is JUST what our BP needs. To be overworked even more.

This is the first extra inning game the Mets have played this year, look at the Cardinals if you want to see an overworked bullpen'
(and somehow there are 7 teams with more IP than the Cardinals BP!)

Why is Maness batt-? Oh, right. Short bench. 
They say it's some inflammation in his knee. Doesn't appear to be serious as he was mobbing Sanchez after the game winner.
I guess he will get a day off tomorrow and Hermie will fix him
good to hear. Don't want him out of the line up as he is one of the better hitters in the AL right now.
he is also looking way way WAY better than he did at the start of last year in the outfield. That injury in the long run was likely a good thing, as it forced him to go learn how to go after balls properly. It wasn't a matter of if but when he would hurt himself last year, now he looks like he will just be a decent defender out there.

I'm not saying we're the worst at it, but Terry doesn't divvy up innings so the guys that go out take the brunt of the load. They throw a lot of pitches and a lot of innings.

Mets relievers have literally thrown the fewest amount of innings in the majors. Game would probably have to go to 18 or 19 for them to move ahead of the Tigers

Tuivailalalala can't seem to find the zone. This is probably game. Grooved pitch in...
im seeing 9
that is not including today of course but even with the cards passing the rockies I would consider them move overworked as they would have 5 less games played and nearly the same amount of innings.
gotta say.. I didn't realize the astros had such a good pen
nor would I expect that from the tigers.
the biggest surprise though... the phillies lol.
indeed
highlighted cat is innings pitched

I wish our other pitcher with the hard to pronounce name was in here instead of Tui
Soc something, he might not be good but he's good enough to not walk two straight

Didn't expect to win on Harvey day. Shame a great Lackey start was wasted though.

Pretty much how I feel. I have a feeling if the Mets lost this game, it would have triggered another long losing streak.

I'm trying to figure out my Astros.
We are pretty good against mediocre teams (Seattle, LAA ), we suck against bad teams (Oakland, Texas), and we have no idea how we are against good teams.

You've got starting pitching playing WAY above it's head and an inconsistent offense that's gonna get league K records.
You're an 85-90 win team if the offense gets right, but things can fall apart in a hurry if the offense doesn't get fixed and the pitching falters.

I can't even imagine what it'd be like to be a pitcher on the Rockies
We may go on a long losing streak regardless if our offense continues to be fuck miserable.

Pain knowing that you'll never get paid and that your career numbers will be ruined just by association.
Pitching in that park has to be the worst experience in sports, because you KNOW you're at a huge disadvantage.
Would playing in a dome park in Colorado make a difference?

Aren't the playoffs getting a 2 team expansion this year? For that reason, I think Astros are playoff contenders this year. Then if the offense gets hot in the playoffs, anything can happen
CheDominik
Member
Yeah I think the Astros aren't for real. But they certaiinly have enough pieces to acquire 2 starters. Then they are really dangerous.

Astros are remaining patient, and I actually appreciate that. We have spent the past 3-4 years building our farm system, and its now one of the best in the majors. Correa is the next guy about to join the Astros from the farm system, and hopefully he'll give our offense some stability. I'm hoping we don't start trading our prospects away until next year.

Astro talk in 2015! The AL West has totally changed.

One way I could see that working is if they had really large air conditioning system, and made the temperature really cold. In theory, the cold air would be denser than the normal air in Colorado. The increase in air density would cause the ball the travel slower.
Another way it could work, is if they were able to manipulate the humidity. If they lowered the humidity, it would also increase air density.
I don't have any idea how cold you would have to make the air to balance out the decreased air density caused by the above sea level elevation. Nor do I know how they could manipulate the humidity in a large stadium.
No, that happened in 2012.

I still hate it.

Lance McCullers had pretty great bite on his pitches. I don't like the Astros trying their farm for starters. This shouldn't be an all in year. They can get talent in free agency but I think the owner might be a penny pincher.
Cubs trade Wellington Castilo to Mariners
Waiting to hear what the return is... a reliever would be nice.

Will the Mariners send Zunino down? He's certainly a good defensive catcher, but no team can live with a complete black hole in the lineup.
