Yup. He's having a career year. Plate discipline leaves a lot to be desired. Mets fans are drinking the Kool Aid.

Cubs up 9-0, Pirates lost. I say it has been a good day so far.

Terry doesn't have that power and never has. The notion that he makes call-ups is incredibly wrong. He didn't determine when Syndergaard or Matz came up and he wanted Conforto up for weeks before he was actually called up.
Not to mention, Terry is on the last year of his contract. They wouldn't let him run the roster on the last year of a contract.
Probably for his on base skills, but he always hit and played defense very well.
He's consistently above average. I wish the Sox kept him and never sign Panda or Hanley. He always gives it all.

He's a good player (been worth ~3 WAR the past three seasons), but at 30 years old he's not worth what he's going to get this offseason
People see the arm and assume he's some all-world defender when he's really not, too
He's good, but not as good as he's been playing this season and he's surely not going to get better at his age

lol. He's got a better chance of playing in the Bronx next season......
Nah. They don't have a spot for him.
Betances trying to take the Houdini nickname now that Robertson is gone.
"above average" sounds about right to me. I think he's one of those players whom the eye test makes appear like a superstar more than reality. Not to diminish the impact he's made in New York but still.

His stats at the plate are consistent with his previous stops. wRC+, same as it was his rookie year and while he was with Oakland last year. K%, same at it's always been, BB%, same as it's always been, defensive value is peaking because he's played center masterfully this year. BA, OBP are consistent with where he's been, obviously his SLG is high because of this absurd tear he's been on but still within career norms while taking that into account.
Offensively he's the same as he's always been. His added value this year is his defensive acumen.

I don't know if I support this unholy alliance between Red Sox and Yankees. The whole thing feels dirty.

No might be about it. He got rid of the toe tap in his swing. His bat is a legit big boy bat now.

Dominican Power do yuo believe me now about Familia throwing a 99 MPH splitter? Just threw one at 97 to K Harper.

Niese is such a dud. Bartolo for that 4th spot in the playoffs please. At least he has Cojones.

I throw a splitter.
I can't imagine throwing one at 97. It seems impossible to me.
And yet he does it like 10 times a game.

If we need a 4th spot we'd do what the Giants did and pitch Bart for 3 innings then pull him for deGrom.

I just got home from work, turned on the tv and was greeted by a Mets victory! Time to watch highlights!
ps: Niese is a flake, Hansel is a stud.

Ridiculous. He was getting hit after the break, pulls out this split and he's rolling along.
Funny that our biggest weakness is now a strength, but our biggest strength is not doing so well.

I ain't greedy. Just win one of the next 2 please. Preferably tomorrow's game.

There is something strangely post-apocalyptic about going to see an A's or Raiders game there though. They should just embrace it since there is very little chance of a new stadium in that area any time soon.

Tex should be the platoon bat. Eat what money is left and just let Bird have the 1B job and let him run with it. If he stumbles you have back up options.

He should be there but, as no more than a LOOGY or a guy who "starts" and gets 3 innings before the real starter comes in.
