GDT 5-19 Bryce Elder and the lucky yellow logo streak begins!!!

[thewupk]

Lewis has been out with an undisclosed illness since April 8th or so. He has struggled since winning ROY a few years ago.

If we win one more that's called a winning streak

Mets lucky again

It won't last. I'm more worried about the Fish than the Mutts.

They only have the record they do because of 1 run wins. Their -52 run differential is the worst in the NL

 

[Super]

Yeah the Mets will finish comfortably in front of the marlins…

Phils going to be at -38 after tonight.

 

[Hulavol]

Bouncin’…..

And as for the Mets - they are in a lucky streak at moment- their tenth inning was fluky. Two nights in a row they shoulda’ lost…. and still not making up ground. They don’t have enough to be much more than .500.
Highest payroll on earth, so at least they have that.

 

[Hulavol]

Still room on Bryce Elder Texas sized bandwagon … 9 starts, 3-0 record, ERA is 2.06, K/BB is 3.0, equaling 1.7 war already….

He pitched the get away day for spring training last season. Saw him pitch about 4ip. Nothing squared up and not many walks.

I liked him. Ball had that “heavy” adjective they use to it

I'm most worried about the Mets in the division. They've seem to found something since they called up their prospects.

 

[Heyward]

Jesse Chavez starting today.

 

[Carp]

Man I really wish we could watch Elder hit. I sure do miss seeing pitchers flail away a few times a game. That strategy!!!

This strawman argument of yours has always been dumb.

 

[Carp]

He needs to turn it around…the whole flash and “money Mike” sh*t is backfiring

He has a .220 BABIP. Just rotten lock really, combined with hitting a lot of ground balls. He had a ton of luck last year with a .361 BABIP and this year he's getting the opposite luck. But his K rate is down and his walk rate up. Hitting the ball harder than last year too. He's just gotta elevate there ball more and get some better luck and he'll be back to a .800ish OPS hitter.

He's last year Acuna, sounds like

 

[Carp]

I mean the ground ball issue is something he had last year too. He's just having the exact opposite luck this year than he had last year.

But people also need to realize he still hasn't had an entire season worth of PAs in his career and he just turned 22 back in March. The fact that he's struggling yet improving his K rate and BB rate are very good signs, imo.

Harris hasnt been great at the plate but i mean, the internal options are what, Hilliard or go with Pillar full-time. Keep him out there, and hope he'll eventually get going.

I want him out there every day until he proves he can't hack it offensively. I am worried about that contract though

 

[Garmel]

I'm not sure how you can make a long time assessment of Harris' abilities when he's had a slew of injuries this year.

You can't. I just thought it would've been better to see the encore before throwing out the king contract
