GDT -- 2/28/18-- Mets

[nsacpi]

McCarthy looks really good so far.

he's a good pitcher...when healthy

 

[msstate7]

I have an idea. Let's have the most fragile pitcher in baseball go 3 innings in his ST debut.

Never question snit

 

[msstate7]

Carle in and his pitch is out. 1-1

 

[Enscheff]

He is a legit #3, and maybe a tick better. Obviously the problem is he can never take the mound. The only 2 seasons he has thrown 170+ innings he produced 4.4 and 2.9 fWAR.

He could very well be the Ace of the staff if he tosses 150+ innings. Or he could throw 50 innings and be replaced by Soroka in 2 months.

Sounds like he needs Leo’s throwing program.

some of the injuries have been freaky...hit on the head by a line drive...hurt non throwing shoulder lifting weights

 

[msstate7]

I’m gonna go out on a limb and guess carle doesn’t make the big team

Dodge, dip, duck, dive and...dodge. If you can dodge a wrench, you can dodge a ball.

Wow...Swanson got a hit

Allard has certainly not impressed in game action so far

Allard has certainly not impressed in game action so far

Biggest thing that stood out to me with Allard was how much effort goes into that 89 MPH fastball. His finish seemed to be out of control and almost violent.

Compare that to Soroka who looked like he was easily getting that 94-96 MPH sinker up there. His motion was completely under control and his finish was smooth.

After seeing Soroka, I'm starting to worry about my bet with nsacpi where I claimed Wright will be better.

3.0 ip 0 h 0 er 3 bb 1 k

Certainly not great, but he is holding his own

 

[msstate7]

Acuna with 2-rbi single. Now 2-4 today

 

[thethe]

Culberson might end up being a real good pickup to solidify the bench and have some flexibility to double switch

 

[thethe]

Acuna with 2-rbi single. Now 2-4 today

And now a stolen base. Can't wait till he is playing everyday at sun trust

 

[Super]

if soroka is easily pumping 94-96 MPH sinkers in there, we're in for a helluva time with him.

 

[Super]

there will very likely be a big adjustment period and struggles at first for acuna but he'll probably be fun to watch even with them.
