[fallacy]

Syndergaard trying to catch Kerry's record. 11 strikeouts after 5

[jersey cubs fan]

Stupid Marlins trying to let syndagard off the hook dusty baker style

[Cubswin11]

The Marlins have made some awful base running decisions tonight

[jersey cubs fan]

Marlins waste opportunities with "aggressive " outs on the bases in back to back innings. At third and at home.

[Transmogrified Tiger]

Mets lose to the Marlins and are now 1-4 at home against the Phillies and said Marlins. They have a .247 wOBA as a team this year, which is like having an entire team of Jake Arrietas, only just the hitting version and not the pitching version.

unfortunately they also have a couple of the pitching versions

When I think of the hitting version of Jake Arrieta I think of 440-foot dongs.

I will admit to still being pretty terrified of the Mets (way more than any other team) in a playoff series, but yeah, I could definitely see them not even getting there. There are definitely some weaknesses that could cost them over a full season, namely, for me, that infield defense.

I'd say their garbage lineup is a bit more of a concern.

[Cubswin11]

Terry Collins just brought Jim Henderson in to pitch the 7th after he threw 40+ pitches in a relief outing last night and Henderson proceeded to load the bases without recording an out before Collins pulled him

[Ding Dong Johnson]

Terry Collins looks like John Slattery's really dumb and annoying little brother.

For sure. Riding the best stretch in Yoenis Cespedes' career lulled them into thinking that they had a decent offense, I think. They really should have added an impact bat over the offseason. If they miss the playoffs with that rotation, it will have been a massive failure on the part of the front office.

i mean, their offense in the second half was a lot more than cespedes. i still think they are a little better than mediocre and won't make the playoffs with a mid-upper 80's win total but yeah.

[Thusly Boned]

And what a disappointing start for the Twins. It's not like they were favorites by any stretch, but they were considered by many to be a fringe contender. They have looked awful this far.

Better than Bryant.

Vince Velazquez today: 9 IP, 3 H, 0 R, 0 BB, 16 K

 

starting to think maybe PHI won that trade

[Clem Fandango]

Starting to think I regret dropping him in my keeper league a year ago

I don't know what the heck Houston was thinking there.

[Tim]

Pitt down three in the ninth. Detroit threatening to tack on.

[Thusly Boned]

Apparently the Padres have just become the first team in MLB history to be shut out five times in their first ten games of the season.

[sneakypower]

Jaime Garcia (103p) just missed a Maddux

I'm terrified of the Nationals, because I don't think I could handle getting knocked out by Dusty Baker.

[BigbadB]

Bryce Harper just hit a grand slam off of Teheran.

[CubInOK]

The Twins have a team ERA of 3.69, yet haven't won a game yet this season. Scoring 1.8 runs per game will cause this.
