3 days later, and now the 4 NLC teams are 0.5 games apart.

And the ALC still sucks. :r

Re: 2018 MLB Thread
 

Reds have now won six in a row. Swept the Dodgers in L.A. Still way down in the NLC basement, but they at least found the staircase.

Re: 2018 MLB Thread
 

Mets lose to the Phillies tonight, 4-2. deGrom threw 45 pitches in the first without giving up a run, that has got to be a record.

Re: 2018 MLB Thread
 

I saw the box score and thought he got pulled for an injury.
Then I read the article. Definitely an odd thing, but it could be a whole lot worse.

Finally an easy win for the Yanks, yesterday. Even during the winning streak, they always seemed to be life or death.

Re: 2018 MLB Thread
 

The Reds have been fun to watch this last week. Matt Harvey even looked amazing! :tu

Re: 2018 MLB Thread
 

Are they mathematically eliminated yet? :D ;s

Re: 2018 MLB Thread
 

:c

How long till Bengals training camp?

Re: 2018 MLB Thread
 

Who dey? :D

Re: 2018 MLB Thread
 

Not so sure I would put "Harvey" and "Amazing" in the same sentence.

Re: 2018 MLB Thread
 

Why not? They did it with Kreskin the Magician, and he was hardly amazing either. ;) :r

Re: 2018 MLB Thread
 

Offense finally wakes up as we beat the Blue Jays, 12-2. Mesoraco had a pretty good game. I'm liking him a lot more than Harvey. :D

Re: 2018 MLB Thread
 

Mets got skull $%*&@# by the Blue Jays Thursday, 12-1.

Came back today and beat the D-backs tonight, 3-1. deGrom pitched a gem, 13Ks.

Re: 2018 MLB Thread
 

Tigers are 4 games under .500.... and 1.5 games out of first. :r

Re: 2018 MLB Thread
 

Mets come back against the D-Backs tonight to win, 5-4 on a Wilmer Flores walk off sac fly.

Re: 2018 MLB Thread
 

And it has happened Dom...we beat the D-Backs this afternoon, 4-1. Swept them by two HRs from Amed Rosario and a nice performance from Syndergaard.

Re: 2018 MLB Thread
 

A DJ at a bar right by the Reds stadium caught some flack when he played the Cub's fight song after their win yesterday. Had to make a city wide apology via radio and internet.
There were likely more Cubs than Reds fans in the bar at the time though.

Re: 2018 MLB Thread
 

Whatever pays the bills, I say. -(P

Re: 2018 MLB Thread
 

Mets beat the Marlins tonight, 2-0...with Vargas pitching.

Re: 2018 MLB Thread
 

Mets working toward a deal for Jose Bautista...WHY?????????????

Didn't they learn from watching his play with the Braves?

Re: 2018 MLB Thread
 

Signed him to a one year deal. Hoping he can provide the right handed power that's been missing. :hm

Re: 2018 MLB Thread
 

Matt Harvey pitched 6 innings of 1 run baseball last night and got the win! :)

I was at the game and was a bit worried in the 1st when he loaded the bases, but got out of the jam.

Re: 2018 MLB Thread
 

Familia give up two runs in the ninth and blows another deGrom gem as we lose to the Marlins, 2-1. WOOHOO!!!!

Re: 2018 MLB Thread
 

This is going to be the second time the Angels have moved Ohtani's start back to avoid the Yanks lineup.
I guess after the Red Sox put a beating on him, they don't want him exposed again.
Or is he that fragile?
If you're any type of competitor, how do you not demand the ball against the Yanks?

Re: 2018 MLB Thread
 

Mets beat the Brewers last night, 5-0. Matz picks up his second win (seems this is the only team he can beat). He worked his way out of a few jams.

Re: 2018 MLB Thread
 

Same reason Ohtani didn’t want to play for yankees, couldn’t handle the stress of playing in NY would rather play in LA and smoke weed! Dude would FLOP in playoffs if they make it, which they won’t! Let’s Go Yankees!

Re: 2018 MLB Thread
 

Mets get SMOKED by the Brew Crew last night, 17-6. We were winning today and now they have beaten us, 8-7. The downward slide continues.

Re: 2018 MLB Thread
 

Funny how you see it as a downward slide, yet I see it as the Mets being the Mets. Different strokes I guess? :D

Re: 2018 MLB Thread
 

:noon:noon

Re: 2018 MLB Thread
 

Hey Dom & Keith...you two can blow it out your #@&!!!

We split a doubleheader today with the Braves...nice to come back after getting walked off in the first game. Barely keeping our heads above .500.

Re: 2018 MLB Thread
 

Mets finally beat the Braves yesterday, after getting walked off (AGAIN) the night before. Seems like everyone is on the DL...AGAIN!!!

Re: 2018 MLB Thread
 

Seems our team is made of glass.

Re: 2018 MLB Thread
 

Met drops yet another one. Watching the way we lose game is almost amusing. Over throwing cutoff men, outfielders not calling off infielders for fly balls and don't even get me started about the bullpen (minus Lugo & Gsellman). It's going to be a long summer. At least I get to see degrom & Syndergaard pitch...and then have the bullpen toss is away. First :bh :bh of the season...of which I'm certain there will be many more.

Re: 2018 MLB Thread
 

Going down the shitter real fast.

Re: 2018 MLB Thread
 

Mets drop the first two games to the Yankees this weekend...giving up the lead in both games. Only to shut out the Yankees tonight 2-0 (first time they've been shut out all season). Lugo limited that offense to three hits. Maybe he needs to be in the rotation... but who is going to pitch from the pen?

Re: 2018 MLB Thread
 

Mets need to reorganize the system. They are falling back fast in the East and with the Jeter Marlins adopting the Yankees way of building a minor league system the Mets are gonna find themselves a last place team for a long time.

Re: 2018 MLB Thread
 

Ohtani needs Tommy John surgery. Most likely done until 2020. Angels were as careful as they could be with him. Kept him on his 1 start a week schedule from Japan. Didn't hit in games he pitched in or the game before and after a start. All these pitchers blowing out their elbows I would love to know how much they pitched in little league up to pro ball. I agree with Tommy John that kids are throwing too much during the growing years and that is causing the injuries later in life.

Re: 2018 MLB Thread
 

Agreed Ryan. But we cannot afford to trade degrom & Syndergaard to get it going. We DFA'ed Adrian Gonzalez and Lobaton...again. Lobaton provided absolutely nothing and Agon was only holding the fort down until Dominic Smith got healthy. But not sure Smith is the fit either.

Re: 2018 MLB Thread
 

If the Mets think they can win in the next 2 years they should keep the pitching. If longer than that I would trade them. A great pitcher on a losing team is an unhappy pitcher. Get something for them now before losing them to free agency. How must deGrom feel that he could win the ERA crown with a losing record.

Re: 2018 MLB Thread
 

But if you trade deGrom or Syndergaard...us Mets fans won't have anything to look forward to each week.

Re: 2018 MLB Thread
 

You will still have Todd Frazier and the Thumbs Down guy.

Re: 2018 MLB Thread
 

Not even close.

Re: 2018 MLB Thread
 

Yankees beat the Nats 3-0 tonight on 2 HRs by Sir Didi.

Re: 2018 MLB Thread
 

Mets continue to lose. Gonna be a long summer.

Re: 2018 MLB Thread
 

It's official...my Mets suck. deGrom pitched 7 innings today, gave up one run and our pathetic offense managed only TWO hits against the Braves in a 2-0 loss. Bruce looks look a minor league player, at best. He is awful in the outfield and can't hit for sh*t.

Re: 2018 MLB Thread
 

Yankees lost to the Nats tonight. Split the 2 game series. Still not sold on Sonny Gray. He looks great one batter and like crap the next.

Re: 2018 MLB Thread
 

Did you see the video of the umpire miked up when he tossed Syndergaard and Collins?

Just in case. or for anyone who didn't..... NSFW

Re: 2018 MLB Thread
 

I remember that. We could use some more of that.

Re: 2018 MLB Thread
 

I love it. "My a$$ is in the jackpot". I have never heard that before :r

Re: 2018 MLB Thread
 

Mets futility finds new heights. We lose to the Dodgers yesterday, 8-7. No big deal, had the lead, gave up the lead (is the story of our horrible bullpen). But, we gave up SEVEN solo HRs in the loss. :bh :bh

Sorry to say, it's a matter of days before we are cellar dwellers in the NL East. Even the Marlins are playing better than us. Just keeping my fingers crossed that deGrom & Syndergaard stay put. A week ago, I would have said they aren't going anywhere. Today? Uncertain, at best.
