No disrespect to the O’s, they’re still just awful, but the Metropolitans are... the Mets. There’s really no other word for it. Wow. Incredible stretch for them. My Mets fan buddy on our text chain is having a breakdown, and it’s so fun. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Arch-MaesterPhilip Posted June 28, 2019 Share Posted June 28, 2019 So Hal Steinbrenner is willing to go past the third luxury tax threshold to get the right starting pitcher but now his biggest fear is the cost as far as prospects are concerned. I get why he feels like that but am I the only who thinks he's hedging his bets here? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hal doesn't give a shit about prospects. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Steinbrenners usually don't give a fuck about prospects, his father sure didn't. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah Garcia is pretty damn sexy - have you seen his strikeout rate, at Double A, at 20?!? They better be getting, like, Scherzer if they're sending him out. Maaaaaaaybe Stroman. Maybe.

Stroman is good but it would have to be part of a package for Scherzer. But even then I might be pissed. He has 24 k's in his last 12 innings. Two starts ago he struck out 15 batters in 6 innings.

ljkeane Posted June 29, 2019 Share Posted June 29, 2019 6-6 in the first inning of the game in London. Interesting start. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DMC Posted June 29, 2019 Share Posted June 29, 2019 Wondering what the record for longest inning ever is. I had a cigarette after Chavis' HR and didn't see the last out, but that was about an hour. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ramsay B. Posted June 29, 2019 Share Posted June 29, 2019 It started at 1:10 like it was supposed to? I woke up at 3 and figured it would be around the 5th-6th inning, and it was top 3. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ramsay B. Posted June 29, 2019 Share Posted June 29, 2019 Yeah, I mean I’m happy they got to see a great and action-packed game. But 5 hours is so obnoxious. Devers and Benintendi’s replacements have both come up in huge spots. We lucked out there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
