Hope A's can hold on. F the Angels

Nothing can erase the Rally Monkey from my memories.....

I like Mike Trout though

Wade Davis didn't shut anything.

He left the door wide open, but the Astros still tried to squeeze through the doggy door and got stuck.

 

[madj55]

As far as I'm concerned unless you come back and tie or win the game, he shut the door.

 

[bronconation24]

Marcus simien, you can have your occasional garbage defense and errors. Just keep on hitting that ball out

 

[nick.]

How soon until the Mets trade one of their pitchers for some offense?

send deGrom to the Yanks for Beltran, Ackley, & a PTBNL

 

[jumpmanfromdabay]

Semien been ballin for the A's.

 

[d3si]

Ohh, nice strikeout by Madison on Trout

 

[nick.]

Yankee bullpen: 0.84 ERA, .190 BAA, 32 K in 21.1 IP.

if only we had a starter that could go more than 5 innings

 

[bronconation24]

A's are pathetic

 

[jumpmanfromdabay]

Doolittle hasn't been the same since 2014 Wild Card Game

 

[nomnom]

DOOLITTLE SMH

Welp guess I should start counting down the days for the Seahawks

 

[GreenNGold89]

I was at that game :x

 

[GreenNGold89]

His velocity is down and he doesn't have any other pitches other than a fastball. Not a good look.

D-Backs have sick uniforms. That is all.

Idk why people even think it's gonna happen. You don't trade stud pitching unless you know you can't resign them.

Nice comeback for the Halos last night.

They won't be able to re-sign Harvey and deGrom.

 

[johnnyredstorm]

DeGrom will be 33 they'll either buy out two years of free agency or willingly let him walk. Harvey will be traded in the walk year.

This is still 3-5 years away from being an issue though so why trade anyone and ruin your biggest strength?

True. The Mets won't break this rotation up unless they need to.

Is their farm still set up nice? If so they could probably afford to trade prospects at this point in time for that elusive bat.

 

[johnnyredstorm]

The farm has a few good hitters. Cecchini will be up at SS ideally, Nimmo in the OF, Dom Smith at 1B, Herrera at 2nd. I would't say there's anything premiere there though to make a huge move. The offense, albeit terrible right now, isn't my concern yet, it's the bullpen.

 

[madj55]

Depends on how much that elusive bat costs. Mets spent a bunch of money by their standards this off-season. Might not be able to make a deal like last summer.

I don't think they will. Prob will be just trading for 2 relievers and maybe a bench bat.
