Acuña Matada means no worries.

i mean, there is a good chance that Camargo hitting .300 last year in less than a full season was a fluke, but at least let him prove it on the field. Him having to go through hoops (Flaherty/Bautista) just to reclaim the starting job back after he got hurt is dumb.

FLaherty has been a bench piece/utility man his entire career, and he's 31 now. He got off to a hot start, but had came back down to earth. He's not a bad bench option, but he;s a horrible option for a starting third baseman.

I got home right after Acuna's first AB. I know he made an out, but what did he do?

Almost hit a 3 Run HR. Hit it to the wall in RightCenter

 

[Chewbaccer]

Nice escape job, Wisler. Premature with my criticism I guess.

Seriously? 3 straight singles to start the game? I guess Wisler really is only good against the Mets.

And this is why I hate starting a series against a slumping team where all of their key players are in hitting droughts. They have to snap out of it sometime, and it seems like they do against us every time we get in that situation.

His last start could've been a fluke. I guess we'll just have to see how it plays out. That double play was clutch.

 

[Mistaken4193]

Good Job to get out of that.

It wasn't a fluke, for some reason, he's always had the Mets' number. For some reason, he's just never been able to duplicate that success against other teams.

It's like how Williams Perez was against The Phillies.

JOHAN!!

 

[Chewbaccer]

CAMARGO!!!

 

[Chewbaccer]

Acuna has made solid contact now both times.

 

[Mistaken4193]

I know he is amped up but Acuna needs to try and work the count his next AB. 2 first pitch Flyouts to the warning track.

 

[Chewbaccer]

And I haven't heard yet. Who was the roster casualty for Acuna?

Bourjos? Culberson? Some bullpen dude?

Bourjos

 

[Chewbaccer]

Bourjos

Hallelujah

Now we just need to get Flowers and Bautista up, and then we'll be rid of Perez and Culberson and we'll have no dead weight among the position players.

Infield flies still piss me off.

 

[Mistaken4193]

Infield flies still piss me off.

Especially when they are a good 50+ feet in the outfield.

Wisler is looking pretty good now.

 

[Mistaken4193]

How did that stay fair....HOMERUN ALBIES!!

 

[Chewbaccer]

OZZIE!!!

I thought that was way foul.

 

[Mistaken4193]

If Riley truly is Ready by next year, im trying Johan in RF in spring.
