Hot. Go on

 

 

I'm most pissed off at this person tonight:

 

 

Bunting with Realmuto and then Prado in that situation was total bullshit. Even Mike Redmond probably knows better.

 

Lol. Bunting was the correct move. The fact they can't execute is a very major problem. The mets did it just fine

Bunting is an awful move with a guy on second, no outs, and the top of the order coming to the plate. Realmuto had been hot: 4-4 going into the AB. The Mets broadcasters couldn't believe it and neither could I.

 

 

I think Prado bunting was the right move but we never should have been in that fucking position to begin with. 

 

Pirates are getting hot. Better wake the fuck up. 

 

 

Damn I missed the game. Thank god. Wtf happened??

I was talking about bunting with Prado.

They were both bad moves but the Realmuto decision was much worse. He ended up walking but Mattingly was wrong to take the bat out of his hands.

 

 

And that's funny that the mets announcers said it was a terrible move, but I'm sure they were praising when Lagares got it down. When else would you bunt with a runner on second? With one out? That makes even less sense. Get a grip.

 

 

Calm down everyone. This is an average team playing average baseball. For as good as its offense is, the pitching is just as bad. Don't get invested in this team because you're going to be let down.

Bunting for me has more to do with who's at the plate. Most managers bunt too much in my opinion.

Bunting makes more sense with Lagares (who kind of sucks) than with Realmuto and Prado, who are both actually decent hitters.

 

Bunting also makes less sense for the road team in late innings.

 

So the Mets broadcasters were right to chastise Mattingly for the dumb decisions he made there.

 

 

Would you guys all fucking relax!!! We have Wei-Yin Chen going tomorrow. Chill out.

You think bunting with Prado, in a tie game, to put 2 RISP and 1 out with 3-4-5 up is a bad idea? You just don't know baseball then.

Not conceding the out increases the probability of more runs being scored. So says analytics.

 

 

Did we really have a 6-0 lead today? Hard to believe.

Of more runs being scored. Yes, because the  "probability" of scoring more than 1 run lowers as ours go up. I get it. But its all relative. The chances of Martin Prado getting a hit there is 30%. That's without factoring in slumps, matchups, previous at bats, speed of runners, etc. The guy up to bat is top 5 in the NL in GIDP. We have a higher chance of driving 2 runs in with runners on 2nd and 3rd, 1 out, than Prado up and runners on 1st and 2nd 0 out due to the fact that a double play can occur, and there's a 70% chance he does not get a hit which leaves you in the same base situation with 1 out. We can argue all we want about if the bunt was stupid or not, but to blame this on Mattingly who made a decision based upon OUR team (notoriously bad with RISP) and not say shit about how Prado can't get a bunt down the 3rd baseline is just ridiculous. If he gets that bunt down our chance of scoring AT LEAST 1 run goes up as it doesn't take a hit to score him (30%) and a guy with a higher OPS raises the chance of him scoring more than 1. You can do the mathematical equation to figure out WAR, but this is simple baseball gone terribly wrong. Including pitch calling from JT.

 

 

Man Frisaro is such a douchebag. Basically blaming it on fatigue. Yeah so the 6-0 lead and 17 hits were all fatigue. Prado bunting it right to Loney was fatigue. Stanton swinging at a 55 foot pitch was fatigue. Barraclough pitching like shit was fatigue.

Amazes me how many people are questioning the bunt. Absolutely the right thing to do. In a tie game you move the runner to third and one out. The problem is major league ball players that can't bunt. Realmuto couldn't do it, and walked, and Prado laid down a bad bunt. Fundamental baseball.

Wait, you would rather Realmuto have bunted than walked? His walk was a success in spite of Mattingly's failure.

Sorry can't agree here.

Don't be. It was a good move.
