April 17, 201511 yr I know everybody is going to focus on the negatives, but I have to say Realmuto has been awesome in his super short time. I'm definitely excited to see more of what he can do. That gun down to second was an absolutely perfect throw, even if he didn't get him out you can't throw the ball any better. It's amazing that he's an improvement over Salty since he was drafted as a shortstop I believe. I'm not too worried about the terrible record to start the year. These things tend to even themselves out over time. I really like how the team looks moving forward. If Hech keeps hitting at least halfway decent the lineup has strengths top to bottom, and I like that every one of our starters is capable of giving us a quality start on any given night. Today the breaks didn't go our way.
April 17, 201511 yr Also I'm apparently alone in thinking our rotation isn't all that bad. It's damn near impossible for any team to survive without its two All Star starting pitchers out, so of course we're trotting out a bunch of #4 pitchers. It's not an ideal scenario, but the team should be able to get by for now.
April 17, 201511 yr A nice 3-7 start. Colon, Harvey and DeGrom coming up. Cant hold a fucking lead and Wilmer Flores is hitting three run home runs. Its fucking easy for the Mets. I have never seen a team where literally everything goes right for them against us. We were terrible against them last year and just more of the same tonight. Hope Cosart is proud. Don't think Colon is necessarily unbeatable. :lol Also, its the majors. Anyone can make a mistake to any given player at a time. Don't believe me? Salty has a home run. He didn't pitch terribly overall; just made a mistake at a bad time. He's a kid and the fifth starter. Let him be.

He didn't pitch terribly overall; just made a mistake at a bad time. He's a kid and the fifth starter. Let him be. Thats what is frustrating. Coast can easily be a #3 and if he's really rolling as good as a #2. When you get a 3-0 lead, bottom 4 and you were just cruising, you don't give up 3 run home runs to the Wilmer Flores.
April 17, 201511 yr Sorry folks this loss is on me, not Jarred; I couldn't extend my 2 game winning streak. On the plus side, good to see Giancarlo finally go deep.
April 17, 201511 yr What the hell was Ozuna doing throwing home in the 6th? It was a groundball through the infield and he had absolutely no chance to throw out the runner. So, instead of hitting the cutoff man, he allows a man to get to 2B with no outs, who's moved to third on a ground ball and then brought in for the go ahead run on a fly ball. That to me was the most egregious moment of the game.

April 17, 201511 yr lol @ people blaming SP for being 3-7. lol cumulative SP era is 4.82 (total team ERA dead last in the NL at 4.85)
April 17, 201511 yr lol cumulative SP era is 4.82 (total team ERA dead last in the NL at 4.85) Game #2.
April 17, 201511 yr Game #2. Remove Mat Latos's first game and we move to second to last. So we have to rig the numbers to be second to last lol
April 17, 201511 yr Remove Mat Latos's first game and we move to second to last. So we have to rig the numbers to be second to last lol YAY WE'RE NOT ENTIRELY THE WORST
April 17, 201511 yr Game - IP/ER 1 - 7/2 2 - .2/7 3 - 6/2 4 - 6/1 5 - 6/1 6 - 5/4 7 - 5/1 8 - 5.1/2 9 - 7/2 10 - 5.1/5 Yeah... SP is the problem.
April 17, 201511 yr Game - IP/ER 1 - 7/2 2 - .2/7 3 - 6/2 4 - 6/1 5 - 6/1 6 - 5/4 7 - 5/1 8 - 5.1/2 9 - 7/2 10 - 5.1/5 Yeah... SP is the problem. You can't take out 30% of the games and say "oh you're wrong."
April 17, 201511 yr In fact ... averaging just 6 innings in the games you left in there ... not exactly that good, either. Bullpen has had to work a LOT this season already, and a tired bullpen is a bad bullpen.
April 17, 201511 yr You can't take out 30% of the games and say "oh you're wrong." Yes I can, because you are. If I told you this is what you're getting the rest of the season from our SP every 10 games, you wouldn't take it?
April 17, 201511 yr Yes I can, because you are. If I told you this is what you're getting the rest of the season from our SP every 10 games, you wouldn't take it? Averaging six innings, fuck no.
April 17, 201511 yr Averaging six innings, fuck no. MLB's average Innings Per Games Started was exactly 6 in 2014. Fuck yes.
April 17, 201511 yr MLB's average Innings Per Games Started was exactly 6 in 2014. Fuck yes. But if we want a successful team, no. 6 innings per game = 3 innings at a minimum from the bullpen assuming we have the lead, and 3 innings a game from the bullpen means a tired and therefore ineffective bullpen. So absolutely no.
April 17, 201511 yr And again, you can't just take away 30% of our games and say "oh hey look at this, it's not an issue!" Yes it is.
April 17, 201511 yr Yes I can, because you are. No we aren't, we're looking at everything and comparing it to the rest of the league. The offense has produce more runs than average. The SP has been below league average. Runs are down. You're just doing poorly at comparing to what's normal by ignoring the rest of the league and ignoring the stats that don't fit your narrative. If you're going to remove 30% of our starts, you have to do that for every other team too.
