Lineup:

 

1. Berti, SS

 

2. Isan Diaz, 2B

 

3. Cooper, 1B

 

4. Anderson, RF

 

5. Castro, 3B

 

6. Ramirez, LF

 

7. Lewis Brinson, CF

 

8. Alfaro, C

 

9. Robert Dugger, SP

 

 

ISAN! That lineup looks pretty decent.

 

 

Isan Diaz and Lewis Brinson called up;

 

Cesar Puello and Neil Walker to the IL

 

Ryne Stanek recalled; Kyle Keller optioned

 

Robert Dugger the 26th man for the doubleheader

 

 

I am excited to see Isan and hope that Sweet Lew can get back on track. However, I am a bit worried about Dugger. Through AA he has shown good command and pitchability, but it has been a complete train wreck in AAA. He has given up 5+ runs in 5 of the last 6 games and 6+ in 4 of those. I think that with the right coaching and enough experience, he can be as good as Gallen (as a mid to bottom rotation pitcher that I still think Gallen profiles as). But he clearly needs more time and is not doing too well.

 

Ultimately, I think that he gets the start this afternoon regardless of how well he does. Hector Noesi will take his place in the rotation after this. The only reason that they don't just use Noesi in the game is so that they can hold off on sending someone down until Wednesday or later.

That has already been confirmed as Noesi is already in New York and will assume the No 5 spot in the rotation

 

 

He should've reached with his left arm.

 

Dumb waste of a challenge.

 

 

How do you make the 1st out at 3B in that spot?

*And I don’t care if he was safe on replay

 

 

Welcome to the big leagues Dugger 

 

 

Ouch, good start.  1-0 Mets

 

First pitch.

Maybe he will be like out ace Jose Urena from last year.

 

 

Dugger now leading the Head to Head tiebreaker for the ROY against Alonso.

 

 

tied by Castro!

 

 

Brinson 0-1

 

hit it well though.

 

 

Oh man, Duggar hit a ball to the warning track that would've scored 2 if it weren't for a good catch.

 

 

I like Berti.

 

Guess I'm talking to myself haha.

 

 

is this Zac Gallen disguised as Dugger ?

 

 

Guess I'm talking to myself haha.

 

Been there

 

 

fuck DFA Dugger

 

 

Totally awesome bottom of the 4th

 

 

Dugger has an ERA of almost 10 in AAA and the Mets are the hottest team in baseball.

And he was rewarded with a major league callup because why? Lol

 

 

this is going to be a long game

His turn in the rotation. They needed a SP for doubleheader.

 

 

this is going to be a long game 

 

Doubtful, pretty sure it'll just go nine innings.
