Wagyu Man, no bueno.

[Namaste]

Sanoja has been an automatic out this year

[Nick]

I have no clue who these guys are coming out of the bullpen.

[Todd]

Sanoja and Wagaman have been poor but I have high hopes Sanoja can be a Berti type player eventually.

I have no idea what Myers was thinking.

Umpire Scorecards verdict in on the loss to Mets:

+1.47 run in favor of the Mets

[Todd]

You can't really blame the umpires for pitching to Alonso or Myers being a bad baserunner.

ya they had every chance to win that game, you cant blame the umps. when you have the winning run on 3rd with less than 2 outs multiple times, you cant blame anyone but yourself. Especially when it was edwards on 3rd, no outs in the 8th. then we foolishly bunt myers over so it's him on 3rd and 1 out in the 10th and they dont score either time. then after curry manages to escape only giving up 2 runs, they manage to score 1 and have men on first and second with no outs in the 11th and dont tie the game. just bad baseball.

Kyle stowers plate discipline and ability to draw walks is getting interesting. if it was just the first 7 games i wouldnt say anything, but he drew a ton of walks in spring as well. already drawn 6 walks in the first 7 games of the regular season after 12 walks in 16 spring games. that would be an enormous improvement for him and make him a legitimate starter moving forward. will have to see if it's just a small sample size, but the better eye is noticeable when watching his at bats.

[Todd]

Small sample size but I like what we have seen so far with Stowers and Pauley.

Also Fortes seems to have, at least so far, flipped the script on him being an unlucky hitter.

agreed on pauley. obviously way too early to make big judgments, but he strikes me as a guy who can eventually get to that brian anderson level at least. seems reliable at 3b too from what ive seen. that tanner scott and hoeing trade is one of the only ones i really think can be a huge haul when we look back at it between him and Snelling plus maybe mazur becomes something.

[fish16]

speaking of brian anderson, just saw that he's out of baseball already. crazy how fast a baseball career can dwindle. went from a consistent .800 OPS younger 3b to a shoulder injury to out of the league within a couple years.

I didn’t blame the umps. Just passing along the Umpire Scorecard. +1.47 in favor of a team is substantial, though.

Mets did everything they could do to lose the game and the Marlins snatched a loss from the jaws of victory. ✌️
