It's Werth, so it's to be expected he fucks it up.
i just noticed that harper shaved, is he preparing to go to the yankees already?
>Harper with a four leaf clover on his bat
Why did we call up Ty Kelly, an infielder who plays every position other than first base, the one position that we needed?
>Eric Campbell vs. Stephen Strasburg
talk about overmatched
>>67824857
Should be the OP image for the next mlb general desu
>>67824878
he can play first if needed, the problem is the mets have zero depth at 1st in the minors. The guy we have playing 1st at AAA is a meme 28 year old career minor leaguer.
Literally the only guy at first you could call up who is a legit 1Bman is Dom Smith in AA, but he's not even close to major league ready.
The Mets will sign a veteran 1Bman soon, Kelly is just here temporarily.
not quite murph
>>67825021
Should've gone with TJ Rivera. He's got more experience there than Kelly. He's from New York City. He's also tearing it up at AAA.
Annnnnd Espi pops out.

>>67825173
Re: Turner
I read somewhere that they're going to wait until June because they get another year or control over his contract or something? At least Espinosa isn't striking out so much...
>>67825223
James Loney is in AAA for the Padres but he can opt out for a Major League deal, Mets are interested
>>67825223
swisher and loney are the two veterans in AAA i've heard about, and apparently we're not interested in swisher
i'd take loney, we've had good luck with veterans this year

That's correct.

You are now aware that Strasburg has been in the league for six years and has received three Cy Young Award votes in his entire hyped career.

His arm is hurting, it's failing. His mechanics are compromising him again.
It's not mental, it's mechanical.

I'm a Red Sox fan who lives in CT and listens to Mike Francessa everyday, he said this game was huge.

>>67825537
No. You shouldn't dare.
>>67826402
You can't fake DL people anymore or they would. There is nothing wrong with him medically, his arm is fine, no matter how much Boras wants to blame the Mets for "ruining" it. Harvey is just shit, and mentally weak.
>>67825622

>>67826474
>there is nothing wrong with him medically
>his arm is fine
>he is mentally weak
Typical macho bullshit that ignores reality in favor of ridiculous narratives
Harvey has terrible mechanics that blew out his elbow once, it's clear it's getting to him again
Despite the fact he had the entire NY media on his ass for the whole Boras situation last year and the fans hating him, he pitched superbly. That's not mentally weak at all. Quite the opposite
His mechanics are shit and it's getting to his arm
Why do you think it's so out of the ordinary that Harvey could be playing through pain and that X-rays don't show the whole picture?
>>67826533
alright then, pretend he's 25
thor is 23
Mest we're a one year fluke and blew up their ace doing it. All my keks.
>Their smiles and optimism: gone
>>67826591
the reality is you can't get a doctor to say there is anything wrong with Harvey's arm, or he would be on the DL instead of costing this team wins every 5th day
the Mets are handicapped by him right now because everyone says there is nothing wrong with him so they can't DL him and they can't just keep him on the roster and not pitch him because that hamstrings the bullpen and would actually be a legit complaint for Boras
so they have to keep throwing this perfectly healthy player out there. he is just a bad pitcher at this point
>>67826629
That guy...
>>67826720
Hahahaha.
Can't even hate on that one, AMAZING catch by Cespedes
>>67826720
Fucking lol
>>67826694
You literally refuted your own argument in the first sentence.
You are completely refuting the possibility and likelihood Harvey's arm is hurting. There's no reason to assume he suddenly just went to shit and broke mentally. He's had TJS before, he hasn't changed anything mechanically, it seems pretty obvious that he's battling through pain
>cespedes turns out to be a great signing
>harvey falls off a cliff
why can't everything ever go right at once?
>>67826812
>he hasn't changed anything mechanically
but they have changed
Putting together my ASG ballot. Should I choose Cespedes or Conforto? Not sure about voting for both of them since Cespedes is better at RF.

>>67826908

i voted for both, but cespedes has a better chance of making it in, being that he's leading the majors in dingers and all

>MAXIMUM DAMAGE CONTROL
>>67826908
What a sad excuse of a post, and on 4chan for crying out loud. Do better, my friend.
>>67826863
He didn't fall off a cliff. He sacrificed himself.
>>67826812
>it seems pretty obvious he's battling through pain
except in every scientific or medical sense of "obvious", since there is no actual evidence of anything wrong with his arm besides your casual observations of how he appears to you
he's mentally weak because he obviously didn't work at all in the offseason and took the entire spring training off with his "bladder infection" (read STD). He's more concerned with image and publicity and partying than playing baseball. Or he would have come into the season prepared and ready to earn a big contract like a professional. Instead, he has not, so absence any actual evidence of medical problems, you can justy conclude he's a lazy fat fuck with a shitty work ethic.
Get someone else already. Tired of Soup now.
kys dusty
>>67827009
>except in every scientific or medical sense, no actual evidence
And where's the evidence he's some mentally weak player whose just turning into shit for no reason? Did you see how he performed with FAR more pressure late last season?
>because he obviously didn't work at all in the offseason
except in every scientific or medical sense of obvious
>read STD
No evidence
>he's more concerned with image and publicity yada yada
No evidence
Meanwhile, there's actual science behind pitching mechanics. Harvey has shitty mechanics and it's entirely reasonable to assume his arm is starting to fail again.
Sure he's a douchebag but so are dozens upon dozens of players.
Harvey's arm is failing. I know reality can be hard but that is almost certainly, precisely what is happening.
Dominant pitchers don't fall off because of some media heat. They're usually hurt
>>67827092

1 good starter
1 starter who hasnt figured it out yet

>>67830817

>>67830973
Okay. Great post then.
>>67830706
Harvey and Colon are dumpster fires. DeGrom is decent. Thor is really good. Matz is unproven.
>>67831057
it was just some butthurt mest fan talking out of his ass
>>67831090
>Matz is unproven
Matz has two playoff starts and is by far the best rookie pitcher in baseball. Reminder that Thor was a rookie last year and that didn't hurt us one iota.
>Colon is a dumpster fire
He's no worse this season than any other.
The only concern is whether or not Harvey can ever make it back. Once deGrom finds 95+ it's going to be smooth sailing for him and it shouldn't take more than a month for him to get there.
>>67831090
>Colón
>dumpster fire
>deGrom
>decent
Stop posting.
>>67831182
NY has a bunch of young pitchers with histories of arm trouble and a fat old man.
>>67831279
>young pitchers with histories of arm trouble
Sounds like every organization in this century.
>>67831218
DeGrom has a 25-16 career record and a 2.66 career ERA. That's the definition of decent. It's actually 3.06 this year, he's getting worse, not better. The league is beginning to figure him out.
>>67831449
>a 2.66 career ERA. That's the definition of decent
And
>citing win-loss record for anything ever
I wish I had reaction images on my phone.
>>67831759
Yeah. That's what I said the first time. He's decent. Not elite. Not a #1 starter on most teams, but decent. 41 innings pitched this year. 14 earned runs 40 hits 30 strikeouts I see nothing in there to grant elite status.
>>67831279
The only one who has a history of serious injuries is Matz. deGOAT (5 years removed) and Harvey (3 years removed) had very successful TJ surgeries where they came back better because of the training and therapy.
Who know about Thor though, we will find out.
>>67831279
Assuming your a walgreens fan, get back to us when you've won a playoff series. You're literal pleb trash and don't deserve to heed our response.
>>67833129
Both DeGrom and Harvey have had TJ surgery.
>only one who has a history of serious injuries is Matz
As for Thor, while he has no history of arm trouble, he too has flawed mechanics and will blow out his elbow or shoulder. It's not a question of if, but when. This is a rotation that isn't built for the long haul.
>>67834278
I hope you enjoyed last year, it's gonna have to sustain you for a while.
is this the thread for the early game or what
>>67842529

Matz for cy young when
