PatriotReign37 Posted October 30, 2015 Share Posted October 30, 2015 Watching them undress Harvey and deGrom the past two nights makes Bumgarner's last season that much more impressive. I still think what he did in the WS last year is the single most impressive thing I have ever seen a pitcher do. Bumgarner was in the Royals head last WS.

RutgersJetFan Posted October 30, 2015 Share Posted October 30, 2015 Batting order. Pitching line up How long to leave a struggling pitcher out there. Which reliever to call in. Yost has made plenty of decisions and most have paid off. OR, those decisions are easy as hell to make because AL baseball is bullsh*t. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lizard King Posted October 30, 2015 Share Posted October 30, 2015 Because Bumgarner is incredible. The guy has 3 rings by the age of 26 for a reason. so our staff can't do that? It worked with the Cubs. I don't know why they stopped. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BowlesMovement Posted October 30, 2015 Share Posted October 30, 2015 Seriously? As a Yankee fan that makes no sense. I've seen 7 championship in my lifetime from being a child until my 30s. There's no reason to root against the Mets this year. This is the cycle when the Mets are good. 1969-71, 84-89, 2000-06, 2015- Most Yankee fans I know, that are true fans and not bandwaggon fans are rooting for the Mets, or don't care. The "Yankee fans" that became fans sometime during the 98-2000 run are the ones rooting against the Mets. They became Yankee fans because it was cool, and they have a fear that if the Mets win the WS, they won't be cool anymore. DHdetroit is a "Yankee fan" and also a Bills fan.

PatriotReign37 Posted October 30, 2015 Share Posted October 30, 2015 OR, those decisions are easy as hell to make because AL baseball is bullsh*t. AL B ball is up 2 - 0 in the WS. AL is too legit to quit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jetsfan80 Posted October 30, 2015 Share Posted October 30, 2015 so our staff can't do that? Allow 1 run in 21 innings, while striking out 17 and walking 1, in a single World Series? No, I don't think any non-cyborg other than Bumgarner can do what he did. Perfect pitching always beats great hitting, but demanding perfection is unrealistic, even from our staff. Sometimes you just get beat by the better team in their park. It happens. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I still think what he did in the WS last year is the single most impressive thing I have ever seen a pitcher do. Harvey allowed 2 legit runs on a night he did not have his best stuff. I'd hardly call that getting "undressed". Fans are going way overboard and losing sight of the fact that if Cespedes and/or Familia simply do their job in game one the Mets would be heading home having accomplished what any team would wish for starting the WS on the road.....knotted up at 1-1. Bumgarner was off the charts last WS but we are overreacting in saying the Royals are so much better than the Mets at this point. If they take us out at Citi Field than that talk is justified but not based on what we've seen so far. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Which goes back to what I said yesterday...there wasnt a team in Baseball more ready to face this pitching rotation than the Royals. **** pitching at this point. The Bats need to come alive. Clearly, their line up doesnt go down easily. So hope for the best out of the youngsters but the veteran Bats in the line up need to step the **** up, pronto. 1-4, they all need to wake the **** up now and give these youngsters run support. It's a must or this will be a sweep. I STILL BELIEVE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I still think the Mets can win this series. I disagree with your second sentence somewhat because the adage is "Great pitching beats great hitting." Harvey and deGrom did not pitch great in game 1 or 2. But Thor still can. Again, I'll keep on pointing to Cone in game 3 of the 96 WS. Yanks got obliterated in games 1 and 2 in The Bronx, but Cone pitched the game of his life in game 3 (better than his perfect game 2 yrs later) and kept the Yanks in the series. Thor needs to pitch a 7 inning shutout or 1 run game to bring normalcy back. He can do that! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lizard King Posted October 30, 2015 Share Posted October 30, 2015 You guys aren't reading what I'm saying. If you're going to get beat, have it happen throwing your best stuff like Bumgardner did . Not by throwing 70% curveballs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I call bullsh--t on that one SMC.. come on His postseason last year was legendary, but he hasn't done nearly enough to get in the Hall of Fame (yet). For comparison, Roger Maris isn't a Hall of Famer, despite his legendary season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For comparison, Roger Maris isn't a Hall of Famer, despite his legendary season. I disagree. You're ignoring his other postseason stats. He has pitched in 10 postseason series, including 3 WS. Baumgarner is 7-3 with 1 SV, a 2.14 ERA, 77 SO, 15 BB and 0.883 WHIP. His WS stats (more than just last year) are incredible. Over three WS, he is 4-0, 1 SV with an 0.25 ERA, 31 SO, 5 BB and a .528 WHIP. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seriously, the Mets were outplayed in one game so far and that was game two. The L in game one was a fluke between the Cespedes drop and Familia blowing the save on a freaking quick pitch.

No kid is going to be the savior putting this many innings on his arm for the first time in his career. Some nights Thor and the rest of the staff will be lights out and other nights they will have to claw their way through 6 innings. . Everyone is on pins and needles to some degree as a fan but the extreme range of comments is over the top. We were not 50-1 favorites to sweep this series nor are the Royals head and shoulders better than us as was implied after they went up 2-0 in the series. Tonight's a big game for the Mets ONLY because they blew game one. I think Matz's curveball plays well against this line-up but we can't let Chris Young mow us down again. If we get the series even tonight with Matz I love our chances in that we have Harvey-deGrom and Thor lined up for game 5, 6 and 7. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
