Oh yeah dude....O's still got a ton of young pitching. Wouldn't even have room for Arrieta in the rotation right now.

Even screech can't argue with him being a CY candidate because of his ERA.

But does he have "TEH WINZZ" and pass the eye test.

Those are just numbers, man. The I test is just a letter.

His beard is enough.

Hey Droford! How's Scott Feldman and Steve Clevenger doing????

God damnit Dodgers

I think Droford quit this thread.

He's just waiting for his posts to hit their peak factor.

Lol Droford has been M.I.A lately

Cubs get Austin Jackson from the Mariners for a bag of money and a PTBNL.

Jorge Soler insurance.

GOINS! GOINS! GONE!

<font color=goldenrod>Went to tonight's game. Collins' bullpen decisions are so fucking bad and have been throughout his tenure. Jon Niese had a shit outing. 5 innings, 6 runs. Bleh. But then they came fighting back. Kelly Johnson with a big pinch hit double, and Cespedes with a 2-run bomb. 6-4. Great, you've pulled closer. So now you try to bring in one of your few reliable arms to hold the deficit, right?

Wrong. Apparently you put in Bobby Parnell and his 5.66 ERA, fresh off a DL stint that was pretty much made up just so he could sort out his command issues. First batter: walk. Second batter: walk. Third batter: sacrifice bunt that Parnell throws over the first baseman's head. Eric O'Flaherty comes in with 2 men on and still no outs. Walk. Carlos Torres comes in bases loaded no outs and just gets eviscerated. And before you know it it's 14-4 Phillies. What the shit.

Worst inning I've ever seen in person lol. And then of course the 3 relievers the Mets use to finish the game combined for 3 perfect frames as the team lost 14-8, aka enough runs to overcome the initial 6-run deficit. Fucking moron.</font>

<font color=goldenrod>Fortunately, Brandon Moss hit a walk-off for the Cards over the Nats, so somehow the Mets lose no ground after that stinker. I think I can put my hatred of the Cards aside for one more game tomorrow.</font>

ha ha, for one night at least suck it KC!

The Os are playing like complete shit circa 2002 when they were 63-63 and finished 4-32, they are 1-12 which s actually aworse pace
Almost had forgotten those dark days

Wooooo Phillies

Probably shouldn't have peaked.

Woooo Jays win!

Feels like the Yankees and Blue Jays never lose anymore.

lol Bryce Harper had a great line tonight

0-0, 1 RBI, 4 R, 4 BB

He saw 20 pitches tonight, didn't swing at a single one.. lol

How did he get an RBI, bases loaded situation for one of his at bats?

Red Sox better get out of the basement. I still think they will be playing games in October though. Anybody want to make a bet?

Better at this point that they don't. They could get a protected draft pick, sign one of the huge free agent starters without giving up a draft pick, and you know Dombrowski is gonna wheel and deal.

Crazy stat of the day: Carlos Gonzalez has 25 homeruns since July 1. That's 7 more than Juan Pierre hit in his entire career lol

<font color=goldenrod>lol fuck Scott Boras. Mets have been trying to cap Harvey at roughly 180 regular season innings this year, even going to the 6-man rotation at points to help make it happen. But the plan was always to just pull the gloves off in the playoffs and not worry about innings at that time (unlike when the Nats shut down Strasburg for the playoffs).

And only now...in September...in the heat of a playoff chase, Boras is blasting Sandy and saying 180 innings is not a soft cap, it's a doctor's order. And that if they go over that number of innings it's putting his client at risk. Translation: if Harvey injures his arm again I'll get a lot less money fromn his contract in 2019.

Hopefully Harvey tells him to shut the fuck up.</font>

Boras means nothing to the Mets front office regarding Harvey. He's not a FA until 2020 and Boras isn't going to let his client sign a team friendly extension. Boras is irrelevant for 4.5 years.

<font color=goldenrod>Harvey's a free agent after the 2018 season (partly why I've advocated the Mets doing all they can to do all they can to supplement the pitching with quality offense in the next few years and would be willing to overpay Cespedes for during that window), but yeah...Boras is just angling for his payday years down the road because he knows another Harvey arm injury will lessen his value down the line.

He's just going into business for himself, as he normally does.</font>

<font color=goldenrod>Also, Harvey is ridiculously competitive and expects nothing but the best from himself. There is a better chance that Renee Young, Paige, and Alexa Bliss all simultaneously show up at my doorstep to be at my sexual beck and call than there is of Harvey voluntarily shutting himself down for the playoffs.</font>

My bad....FA after 2018...yer right.

Droooooooford. Better hope the Jays finally peaked lol

Drew Hutchison sucks, you're gonna toss that guy out in the playoffs lol

Guy only has 13 wins cause of outrageous run support.

I'm gonna get the farm Hutchison doesn't pitch in the playoffs short of long relief

The Jays for whatever reason never hit Ubaldo Jimenez. They are like the only team.

Silly Droford. Marcus Stroman is coming back. Plus who the hell uses a fifth starter in the playoffs.

10-2 btw, cause your bullpen sucks too

Chris Davis has 40 Homers

Gonna miss him next year
