The Autumn Wind
What an amazing series.
Now they're saying Matz is going to be out until early September. The Mets training staff is something else.

Early sept was always how long he'd be out. I'm just amazed he isn't throwing yet.

Mets are going to be scary with this rotation

Any number of reasons. Lat injuries are tricky for a pitcher. Trainers still project him back by labor day which is around when he was initially gonna be back anyway.
Wheeler is excellent but he's out with Tommy John until mid to late next year.
I think its because of two reasons. One, he isn't going to be ready to pitch by opening day. Two, when he does pitch, he won't be the Wheeler of old. Pitchers coming off TJ surgery can take a bit to regain their form.
So trading him for a big bat made the most sense.

Syndergaard looks so much like Doc when he's pitching sometimes it's scary.

It's so cute how AA and Rogers are trying to act like they didn't get totally fucking robbed of a once in a generation talent.
He's been solid in his last 12. 10 quality starts.
ERA still around 4.20 shows how bad that April/May was though :/
I think he keeps it up. Having him, Price, and Buehrle going out there with 7+ inning potential almost every night is going to be huge down the stretch.
But yea...watching Thor strikeout Harper with that 100mph fb....wish we had that
Don't forget when the Jays shipped off Michael Young for Esteban Loaiza.
haha I don't think anyone believes that. Dickey gets a lot of grief for not living up to... whatever the hell he was supposed to live up to. More than he deserves, honestly
If the 2013 season hadn't been such a colossal disaster then the bitterness over the trade wouldn't even exist. And it wasn't really Dickey's fault anyway. Thanks a lot, Johnson and Morrow.
YOU MEAN 21 GAME WINNER ESTEBAN LOAIZA

Idk what people expected of a 40 year old knuckleballer, but he's been pretty decent to good for a guy his age.
All the hype leading up to that 2013 season...
And then his second start against the Red Sox...I remember getting to the game late and sitting down mid 1st inning and it was already 5-0 Sox, and just thinking 'fuck....'
In his first 15 games with the Jays he gave up 6+ runs 5 times. Had a respectable 3.5 era in the second half that year, but the let down early on just left a sour taste.

Harper gets so fucking salty when he loses I love it.
This isn't even true btw, we beat Scherzer OPENING DAY.
Syndergard's ability to locate his fastball and curveball on the edges of the plate is insane for his age.
He has a tendency to throw meatballs over the plate because he's young and he'll do that but his stuff is good enough that he won't get killed for it as much as others. The fastball to Harper was actually in a pretty bad spot but when you throw it 100 mph with movement then even someone like Harper will swing right through it.

The control isn't quite there yet, but the command on his stuff at 22 years old is just nuts. It really is, I'v only ever seen anything like it once and that was Stras when he first came up.
I think that's what he meant.
Still, lol. It's almost like the Mets deliberately set up their rotation post-ASB to throw those guys at the team they're chasing for the division.
Man I hope the Mets win the division. Nationals don't deserve a series win after shutting down Strasburg in 2012. It seems like such a cocky thing to think that they're going to be in that scenario every year, so they could punt one year. Their window may almost be closing the way the Mets are looking and Braves rebuilding.
Those comparisons are going to happen when you trade a top prospect. Same thing is going to happen with Norris.
Dickey finding his groove right now is another point of optimism for the current playoff push. He's pitching great, Buerle too, so if those two vets weren't having good seasons, this go-for-it trade deadline probably doesn't happen.

definitely need this playoff series to happen
Ventura said that he used to look up to Bautista and respect him but not anymore. That he would love to see Bautista try that with him, the season isn't over yet, and basically saying next time he pitches against the jays something might happen.
Ventura is a shit head. He's lucky he doesn't pitch in the NL.

Loving the fact that the Astros keep winning. Back in May I was sure they were getting lucky, and was sure they would take a sharp drop down the standings.
Correa is 20 and the best player on the team. Can't wait till Springer comes back into the lineup, the trades were nice and a let the fans here in town now that Jim Crane isn't going to be afraid to spend the money when it's time.
Still can't get over the fact of how good Correa is, he has that "it". The last few years sucked, but things are looking nice now.

Mets in first place. Houston in first place. Cubs in the wild card. Toronto 1 game back for the wild card. It's shaping up to be very interesting down the stretch.

That's fucking terrible. I can't imagine how the player must be feeling right now.
The Mets faced Scherzer twice and beat him in both games.

What a horrible story. As if the thing with Dusty Baker's kid in the world series like 10 years ago wasn't enough. They really shouldn't let such little kids be bat boys. Keep it to like 16 and up.

Awesome. I want the Mets to win the division.

you sound like a cry baby, just like Donaldson. I'd get back in the box and try hit a homerun, it's head games! the whole point is to psyche you out. Donaldson knows he crowds the plate but he needs to sell to the ump that he's a victim. pitchers job is to make the hitters uncomfortable up there.
I saw what happened, Jays hitters like to crows the plate and think no one should come in inside to them. Red Sox used to do that against the Yankees a lot. it would drive me insane that Yankee pitchers would not throw inside to Manny Ramirez or Ortiz. there are consequences to crowding the plate.
Ventura said that he used to look up to Bautista and respect him but not anymore. That he would love to see Bautista try that with him, the season isn't over yet, and basically saying next time he pitches against the jays something might happen.

HAHAHA I love it. more of this please.
like I said before, Blue Jays are getting way too chirpy for a team that's 2 over .500. take over one of the wild card spots and then we'll talk.
edit: also, go Mets.

Heh, I just noticed Duda's home/road splits. I was lucky and had him on a fantasy team during his latest barrage.
18 homers at home, 3 on the road. .663 slugging vs. .288! Eat your splitty heart out Josh Donaldson
