Looking like Alex Reyes will be up sooner rather than later. 3IP, 6K, 1H, 1BB with 47 pitches so far. Has a ~17K per 9 in AAA right now.

They aren't going to call him up soon unless an injury happens. The recent string of good pitching has bought everybody in the rotation time.

 

[HarryDemeanor]

You gotta be kidding me.

 

[zulux21]

ah... much like that texas game last month... this is the type of game that can be a turning point

down 7-0 and come back and tie it in the 9th down 9-7 and win it in extras.
that can get the good vibes going.

 

[Doogdogg]

Tigers' pen once again. What a brutal existence.

 

[KidA Seven]

You gotta be kidding me.

This offense man...

Jesus this game will go on forever.

 

[Corran Horn]

Giants win and the Dodgers lose?

I'm thinking bullpen this season, maybe starter next (although given Lynn will be back at least 2 starters would have to go). Dean Kiekheffer's time is just about over

 

[Beckx]

Pete Rose making sure to get an early start telling everyone that Ichiro's NPB hits don't count

I could see bullpen come September when the rosters expand, but I see the Cards doing a low level trade if they need bullpen arms in the short term. Starting pitching has been excellent the past 15 or so games, so if they start going deeper in games, it'll shave off some of the bullpen rust too. I wouldn't rock the boat right now, it seems like this team is starting to fire on all cylinders.

I dunno, I think Reyes could be lights out in the bullpen. But so could Tui so maybe the walks are too big a concern.

I just can't see them stashing Reyes in the MLB bullpen in June/July when he could be refining his command as a starter in AAA. Especially since he shouldn't be seeing high leverage situations ahead of Rosenthal/Siegrist/Oh (i.e. putting him in the Broxton role).

He'll definitely be up in September if he's healthy.

Not like this, Mr. Rose. Must be frustrating for him to realize that Ichiro will be in the Hall and he won't. Tough luck, Pete. He'll be a posthumous hall induction, which sucks but there you have it. There are certainly far worse people in the HOF who have committed worse crimes than Pete.

Still...

That is awesome of them. Bravo.

Try being a White Sox fan for over the past month and going forward(hopefully not). I think you will survive this one.

 

[The Elite]

Jays saved all their scoring for today.

 

[Parch]

Philly pitching not saving them today. Their young gun got clobbered.

Blue Jays showing more power than a scorpio.

 

[TheGamingBox]

god damn it mlb, stop putting weekday games at 1pm

 

[Silver Arrows]

god damn it mlb, stop putting weekday games at 1pm

considering this is the first time in recent memory that we've had one, i think the current set up we have is pretty good

 

[MultiJhonny]

we look bad. gg Jays.

 

[The Elite]

I am always so jealous of people watching afternoon baseball on a weekday.

 

[MultiJhonny]

day baseball during the week is the best baseball.

 

[Beckx]

Cole confirmed to the DL

Taillon recalled and will start tonight

@DTonPirates
Cole’s move to DL retroactive to June 11. Good news is doesn’t appear to be any structural damage & he could re-join rotation in a few wks.

 

[Corran Horn]

day baseball during the week is the best baseball.

Morning baseball is the worst though.

 

[Chris R]

Well, maybe the Mariners can win tonight! Though at this point I wish every day was like yesterday!

Spoiler

Can't lose on rest days!

Gotta get some W's before the Cards and Cubs come and stomp the shit outta us!! :/

 

[Tragicomedy]

If you like the long ball, I highly suggest you tune in to the Royals tonight. We've got Chris Young on the mound. I feel like picking up a six pack to prepare.

 

[Lexxism]

Wow. There were 47,000 who watched the Jays game earlier? Damn. Was there an event or something?

Anthony DiComo ‏@AnthonyDiComo

David Wright is discussing possible neck surgery with Dr. Robert Watkins in consultation with #Mets doctors. Will come to a conclusion soon.

Recovery time is 3 months at the minimum.

Adam Rubin ‏@AdamRubinESPN

Mets plan to activate Travis d'Arnaud from the DL next Tuesday. He will rehab with Las Vegas over the weekend.

And

Andrew Vazzano ‏@AVSNY

Matt Reynolds and Rene Rivera are the only "healthy" people on the bench tonight, and Terry never uses his second catcher, so...

 

[AgentChris]

Recovery time is 3 months at the minimum.




And

Time to bring up the next gen Mets- Herrera, Nimmo and Montero.

 

[Mortemis]

Well, looks like it's gonna be one of those games.

The umpire is fucking blind on the right side of the plate. Jesus.

 

[sf2fanatic]

SMH Mets. Why torture a player going to Vegas to rehab? Send him to single A or AA

 

[Beckx]

Welcome to the big leagues, Taillon, your first game is dueling Thor, your second is deGrom, and your third you get the Cubs.

Edit: it's going to be hilarious if they set up this "HR contest for pitchers" and still have it when Otani comes over. Also, Otani had 31 pitches 99-101 mph in his start Sunday. Have I mentioned that?

 

[sf2fanatic]

Lol Dodgers. We signed a player that was garbage while playing in San Diego? Venable

 

[GK86]

If they do a HR pitchers contest, have James Shields be the pitcher.

 

[Beckx]

Taillon showing that fastball that made him a top pick.

fun game so far, deGrom is pitching pretty well too but his infield is letting him down a bit

lord have mercy, this pitch is sick. https://twitter.com/ThePitcherList/status/742865787220819968

 

[DireStr8s]

Gio letting the family down.

Again.

 

[Original Famous Ray]

You know what I would love to see from the Mets right now? HOW 'BOUT A DAMN HIT.

 

[Carpe Libertatem]

Colby Rasmus got nothing from the fans at Busch :lol

 

[Velcro Fly]

So are these coaches challenges frame by frame breakdowns of the play or what

 

[Original Famous Ray]

GAME OVER MAN! GAME OVER!! Mets will get no hit because why not?

 

[Beckx]

Jung Ho Kang is a very good baseball player

 

[Original Famous Ray]

Kevin Plawecki is not a very good baseball player.

 

[GK86]

Watching Plawecki try to throw out baserunners is painful.

 

[NameGenerated]

I you win a challenge, you should get a run.

 

[Beckx]

in the grown men acting like babies department, Root Sports Pittsburgh blocked Pittsburgh / ESPN radio guy David Todd for calling out the fact that they didn't have radar gun stats up for the first 40 pitches

and then tweeted that it's just "whining about graphics"

-------------

Taillon's stuff is fantastic through 6. i don't think the Bucs realistically have any shot this year, even at the playoffs, but watching this is reason to get excited for the future.

 

[GK86]

Mets making it easy for the Pirates pitcher.

 

[Loco4Coco]

I think the Mets couldn't even get a hit in a T-ball game.

Why is De Aza even on the team let alone leading off.
