MLB Daily Thread: 10.6.15: Yankees season end tonight

The HELL you been? Bailing out your basement? Get posting, whore...

Fantasy Hockey drafting Martin St. Louis.

I haven't found out for certain why he missed it yet, but my secret sauces say he was getting a penicilin shot in the weenie

Alderson commented on it and didn't even say if they spoke to him. Very strange.

 

[Cyder]

Now he's saying he was caught in traffic in the tunnel, called and they told him to go home.

Translation = I slept late.

Boras is a tool and Harvey is a bigger one for listening to him. Ask Steven Drew about Boras' advice. Innings are meaningless, especially when you're Harvey who averaged amongst the fewest pitches per inning this year. All the "medical data" is guess work. They managed his innings and pitches effectively this year and Boras submarined them with that press release.

Here's my question: Why the huge emphasis on innings and not on pitches? Isn't there a lot of science that could go into this but both teams and writers seem to take the cheap way out and make the focus on innings counts when you could throw anywhere from 12-40 pitches in an average inning?

Yep, saw that:

Mets general manager Sandy Alderson acknowledged Harvey was not there.

"I'm not sure of the explanation," Alderson said.

He added: "Until we find out a little more about his absence I prefer not to comment."

Matt Harvey skips Mets' mandatory workout before NLDS

Totally supports my hurt wee-wee theory

Same question I have. Harvey averaged amongst the fewest pitches per inning.

Bwah!

(Psst...Who's Martin St. Louis?)

Coincidentally, Hu was "caught in traffic" this morning

Sorry again for calling you out on that one lol

Bwah!

(Psst...Who's Martin St. Louis?)

A Ranger who retired during the off season. I missed that piece of info until after the draft.

Correcked. This = why the Mets kept saying "it was a SOFT 180 innings cap!" He has definitely not been overworked.

Again, this team has been so careful to avoid another Generation K debacle. They're actually doing the right thing for a change, and they're STILL getting pushback from Arli$$

I deserved it.

Which makes it an even easier argument for the Mets to make.

Don't like what you're hearing? Change the conversation.

Weather was absolute shit Thursday night. The game will sell out. I have to admit I stopped going after they opened the new stadium after years of ticket plans. No atmosphere.

They have priced all the fans out of that new ballpark. It's been a recurring theme since it opened. But the Goldman Sachs folks will show up tonight, for sure.

How much has Borax cost Harvey on his next contract by making him look like a malcontent?

Exactly and it will never be fixed, cause the Steins are getting richer and richer off the corporate crowd

You should be pissed already. If they could pitch Harvey more than once in the series they'd pitch him game 2 which would have him on regular rest for game 5 if they needed him. They would also be able to pitch the Viking game 3 at home where he is MUCH better.

I think it is bullshit. They've had to modify their whole plan for the playoffs because of Boras. I am typically a fan of Boras as an agent, but I hate when he interferes with what is happening on the field. I felt the same when he was bitching about Kris Bryant being in the minors for a week to start the year.
