Sweep.aside...my hr inducing appearances at games worked for the tigers today in the bronx. So you can thank me for the Yankee beatdown and damn was it hot in sun.....

 

[omarsrevenge]

This offense is a juggernaut. See no reason for the front office to go out and get a bat or two. Just wait till Wright gets "back". I hear Bobby Bonilla might be ready by the all-star break too. Look out 27 Yankees

Eh.

I would have left him in too but it wasn't an unreasonable pull. I wouldn't have went to Gilmartin but it's not like Collins has a lot of help in the pen this season. Fans have been beating up Collins over this but the real issue is the lack of offense. I think the team has six runs over the last five games and four of those came in a 6-4 loss.

Blaming a manager for those losses is just silly.

if your infield is unprepared to play major league baseball and questionable substitutions are being made it is the managers fault....

....and the GM's fault too.

That's flat out stupid.

There isn't a manager in the history of the game who could make Wilmer Flores and Dilson Herrera legitimate major league players. No drills or pep talks can accomplish that. It just doesn't work that way.

Collins just doesn't have major league talent to work with.

Well Wilmer Flores is a major league player, he's just playing the wrong position. Herrera will be a legitimate major league player, he's just not ready yet.

Flores and Herrera are only major leaguers in the sense that this is the best the worst offense in baseball has to offer right now. Their careers will both be over very shortly.

You can't hand a manager a lineup of bums and tell him to figure out a way to win games. It doesn't work like that. The only people to blame here are the Wilpons who are making it clear they're going the Jeffrey Loria route of ownership.

We will agree to disagree.

As for ownership being incompetent? I don't think anyone in their right mind would argue that.

Terry Collins and that fucking pitch count. He needs to go NOW. Watch, maybe he'll have Familia pitch 3 innings next time.

Asshole.

Ughhh....hope he heals and is good to go by the end of the month....

NEW YORK (7/9)-- New York Mets rookie left-hander Steven Matz has been diagnosed with a partial tear of the lat muscle on his left side and will refrain from throwing for three weeks.

Matz received platelet-rich plasma therapy during an examination by team doctors at the Hospital for Special Surgery on Thursday.

Matz had been scheduled to pitch the first-half finale on Sunday at Citi Field against the Arizona Diamondbacks. That start instead will go to Jonathon Niese on extra rest or Bartolo Colon on standard rest. Neither had been scheduled to pitch again until after the All-Star break.

Both manager Terry Collins and Matz had acknowledged that the southpaw was dealing with stiffness in the lat area by his left armpit between his first and second major-league starts. Matz nonetheless proceeded with a second start last Sunday against the Los Angeles Dodgers. He tossed six scoreless innings at Dodger Stadium.

"I got my treatment and stuff. It was just a little tight," Matz said immediately after that outing. "Once I got out there, it was feeling good. And it still feels good now."

Matz became the fifth pitcher in franchise history to earn a win in each of his first two major league appearances. He joined Dick Selma (1965), Gary Gentry ('69), Roger McDowell ('85) and Mike Pelfrey (2006).

Matz also has five RBIs in two major-league games.

101 pitches. Collins needs to go.

 

[Chef99]

I read a possible scenario about Matz's recovery time. Not doing anything for 3 weeks. Soft tossing, simulated games next. Rehab assignment to follow. Could be looking at September, boys.

If that's the case and we are out, play it safe and shut him down.

Maybe just shut him down even if by some miracle we are still in contention.

FTR...I wanted that Tinkering Clown gone 2 yrs. ago....not only for the way he's mismanaged the BP and the rest of the pitching staff, but for a whole litany of erroneous decisions and tactical boneheaded nonsense.

Why he's still in the dugout is also a reflection of Alderson's lunacy...and the ownership's complacent attitude and cheap philosophy towards making this team a top level franchise once again. (ie: their hearts aren't in it)

DW thinks he'll be cleared to play soon???

NEW YORK (7/12)-- There has been plenty of unrealized optimism before, so take it with a grain of salt. But manager Terry Collins spoke with David Wright this weekend. And the New York Mets captain believes Dr. Robert Watkins will sign off on beginning bona fide baseball activity when they meet on Monday.

Wright is rehabbing in Los Angeles. He is dealing with spinal stenosis in his lower back.

"He's doing some things that are related to baseball activities," Collins said. "He's got a doctor's appointment on Monday. He's hoping that he can start some other, more aggressive things on the field real soon."

Wright said in Los Angeles a week ago that he was pattering his feet and hoped to begin actual running shortly thereafter. He may take a month to gear up for a major league game once he is cleared for baseball activity.

(I'm all for it...but I'll believe it when I see it.)

I want Todd Frazier. They need a stud bat in that weak lineup.
