MLB Daily Thread: Chappee's Mets are Champs, Nats have issues, Arrieta good at pitching

[Used 2 B Hu]

Wouldn't it be amazing if the Dodgers crapped away their 6 gm division lead to the Giants???

It could start as soon as tonight.

That'd be cool.

Papelbon...discuss

Found this interesting: CJ Nitkowski: In Jonathan Papelbon-Bryce Harper fight, media has lost objectivity; players overwhelmingly support pitcher

Discusses Harper having recently called out Papelbon publicly for hitting Machado and what former players had to say about Papelbon choking Harper. The unwritten rules and code of ethics in baseball is fascinating.

The NYE Mets are my favorite squadron!

Papelbon is a fucking disgrace. He and Matt Williams can pack their things.

Hells yes..plus I'd be able to go see an NLDS game or 2 between the Mets & Giants @ AT&T Park....

By "fascinating", do you mean "bullshit"?

I'm interested in watching Royals/Cubs today...WS Preview??

Not unless the Blue Jays and Mets also happen to be there.

I like Arrieta a lot. Pretty unusual how he transformed himself from sort of a journeyman type pitcher into an ace. Still not sure that Greinke doesn't win CY, though.

It's funny. I don't think Greinke is ahead of Kershaw, either, right now. Arietta has an ERA below 1.00 in the 2nd half? Did I hear that right?

Probably so. He really has been outstanding the second half. Maybe that carries some weight in the CY race.

I'd also be okay with Mets vs. Rangers or, Twins too....

I'm not thrilled that Harvey will be capped at 18 pitches in the playoffs per Boras, but that team looks very hard to beat in a short series.

Chappee, we did it honey! It's been a long season, but you stuck by your Mets! Whooo! Whooo!



There you have it..."whoo..."

Was very interesting what happened in Cincinnati. Harvey told Collins before the game that he wanted to throw 100 pitches; after the 6th, Collins asked him if he wanted to go back out there or not, and of course Harvey said yes.

So why couldn't they have done this during the Yankees game last weekend?

I used to love the Eurhythmics. Damn, there was some bad music made in the '80s!

This is the Giants "off year". They will win it all next year, though.

That was a joke. Is there any backlash towards Harvey over this? They could just make him the closer in the playoffs and go DeGrom, Synderblock, Matz to spite him. It seems like everyone should have planned for this back in July, or something? I didn't like that Boras mentioned a 180 inning limit when he was already at 170 innings.
