KCCubano Posted April 1, 2022 Share Posted April 1, 2022 Well @JohnS. Just read deGrom out for opener and could miss considerable time. Not good for Mets fans. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JohnS Posted April 1, 2022 Share Posted April 1, 2022 Nothing new, in fact Mets fans know that injuries seem to be 'par for the course' the last few years. The latest is that he is going for a MRI... https://www.mlb.com/news/jacob-degrom-has-shoulder-tightness Let's see what transpires! P.S. Okay, so the Mets themselves tweeted that he's out for at least 4 weeks and may not return for some time after that (maybe June?): Jacob deGrom underwent an MRI today that revealed a stress reaction on his scapula that has caused inflammation in the area. The immediate prescription is for Jake to discontinue throwing for up to 4 weeks and then reimage the area. At that time, we’ll update the plan of care. — New York Mets (@Mets) April 1, 2022 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The difference with the Mets this year is that they are now entertaining trade options to cover these injuries whereas in the recent past they didn't.

MoeFOH Posted April 4, 2022 Author Share Posted April 4, 2022 Opening Day is imminent! Sox are at the Yankees house... what a cracking way to kick off the season! Nasty Nate Eovaldi on the mound against Gerrit Cole. For the most part Eovaldi has been pretty good against the Yankees... hoping that continues! Who's your team facing on Opening Day? What's your pick of the opening series match-ups? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KCCubano Posted April 4, 2022 Share Posted April 4, 2022 Royals open with Guardians...going to take a while to digest that name. Have some new faces this year as usual. We got off to hot start last year before injuries took a toll. Went from first place in division to a 10 games losing streak and end of season. Not a fair weather fan so watched them even tho they were trying to dig out of cellar most of season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MoeFOH Posted April 11, 2022 Author Share Posted April 11, 2022 Well, after a couple of postponements to Opening Day and then jumping out in front in the first two games, the Red Sox dropped both to the old rival. Luckily we held out in the third to avoid the sweep. Phew... how many more of these are there to go? How are you feeling about your teams start to the season? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JohnS Posted April 11, 2022 Share Posted April 11, 2022 @MoeFOH, it's early days yet, and the Mets won their opening three games of the season (the first time a new manager in Buck Showalter has ever done that in the history of the ball club) but I say this tongue-in-cheek...we're sure to pick up a few injuries to make things much more interesting anytime soon! 😁 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LLC Posted April 11, 2022 Share Posted April 11, 2022 Blue Jays at 2-1 as are the Yankees. TB at 3-0 with a fraction the payroll; they just keep doing that 😂 first few weeks for the Jays are tough but overall off to a good start. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KCCubano Posted April 11, 2022 Share Posted April 11, 2022 Royals started 2-0. Now have given up 27 runs in last two games! Just turned on Mets Phillies. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ford2112 Posted April 16, 2022 Share Posted April 16, 2022 So far in the NL West You have the Rockies,Dodgers,and Giants all tied at 5-2. Padres are 5-4. I am looking forward to this season! My SF takeaways so far are ,we have an outstanding starting rotation. Bullpen is pretty solid. The closer spot is up for grabs,but this kid Doval is a flame thrower with a lot of grit. He's only 24. Our 1-2 punch in Webb and Rodon are ones to watch. Don't sleep on us! That said,defensively we are good . 3rd base could be an issue without Longoria. Losing Buster Posey ,left a hole that won't be filled ,nobody could,but Joey Bart looks confident and comfortable. He has major pop in his bat! I think we need 1 more right handed power bat.Our manager is the real deal.Great front office. Future looks bright! I love this game. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am freaking STOKED about our Giants this year!! Our starting rotation has the potential to be the best in the bigs. Rodan is just filth, he and Webb are gonna be Cy Young candidates, and Cobb is throwing 95mph sinkers with 15 inches of arm side run. I’m incredibly excited about Bart. He’s taken huge steps behind the plate and in the box, he looks like a veteran. Im shocked by his pitch selection and his strike zone discipline. He’s missing some pitches, but that’ll change as he sees more big league pitching. He has 65-70 power combined with a good eye and a good OBP he’s gonna be a WAR machine. Rookie of the year candidate IMO! We definitely could have used Seiya Suzuki, but I’m confident Farhan will fill whatever holes the roster has. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JohnS Posted April 26, 2022 Share Posted April 26, 2022 As a long-time NY METS fan, I feel a little out of place. I mean what is happening this season? I see the METS now executing aggressive baserunning and stealing and players that previously weren't noted for special plays doing them now more regularly. They also aren't blowing leads like in the past, coming back from behind and winning unwinnable games (used to happen to them way more often) and the biggest surprise of them all, consistently executing 2-out game-changing plays (for example, the game yesterday vs the Cardinals). Baseball is a game full of statistics but there's one factor common to the three teams that @Ford2112 has quoted at this point of the season and that is run differential. Simply speaking, if you score a lot more runs than you concede then overall you will win more games than you lose. It's very early in the season and things will change, for sure. Right now, I'm hoping this season is more reflective of METS '86 and not METS '88. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MoeFOH Posted May 3, 2022 Author Share Posted May 3, 2022 I've barely had time to take in much of the Sox' season thus far... and that's probably a good thing... 9-14 record. And the Yanks eyeing 11 straight... Things are looking bleak. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I guess I should have said "things look bleak right now" The battle to get a decent win % over 500 is not helped by a poor start. Streaks can obviously provide a quick correction. Good win today. Would be very nice to take this series. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
