Mets at Cubs IST

This one sucked. Had the lead most of the game and let it slip away..could have had our third series win in a row.

Disagree with that S. that dude has been pitching his ass off after he got control of his Cutter. I'm the guy who thought he was a piece of crap in March and April. I'll disagree with the whole notion of sell because of X justification. The only justification that matters is scoreboard. If you suck you sell if you rock you add. Right now the staff has been pretty amazing. Even Jax and Shark are getting it together. Pit and Cin are going to be interesting to watch. Garza leading off the trip and all. Shoot with the way this staff has been looking this year overall I honestly can say they have a chance of winning if the O can generate 3 or more runs. So doesn't make sense to add then? On the pen. It is looking much better and Villenueva should be hitting it. I'm feeling pretty good going into the summer to be perfectly honest.

It wont last. He was very hittable the other day and the Mets just suck. Same thing with Wood today. He threw a lot of really hittable pitches and it took until the 7th for the Mets to make him pay. A good team would have crushed him. I worry that he has been good and now when the bad comes its going to be really bad. All the numbers behind his ERA suggest it is coming and his career numbers suggest it is coming.

i wouldnt be getting overly excited on garza just yet.. yes its good to see him back and if he pitches well its a boost to the team and rotation but id wait and see how it goes for him in his first couple of starts..

garza the last couple of years has only gone 6 IP on AVG., so with a limited pitch count he may not even make it 5 his first couple of starts..
so, just saying dont chalk up his first couple of starts as a sure W just yet..

Match ups should be:

Garza vs Wandy...LH ouch.
Shark VS Lirirano...another LH yikes.
Jackson vs Gomez....

I hope that Ransom and Hairston start hitting. Sori will have 2 days off. Will get LH back to back and he has hurt them.


On Feldman and Wood...we will see if they fall back. Not calling it until it happens.

I'm hoping 3-3 vs them and Cin. After seeing that choke not sure anymore.

I'm expecting Villenueva to come in after him.

Honestly many pitchers pitch to contact. It has more to do with location and getting them to hit it where you want them to. High SO's tend to get higher pitch counts faster which brings in the pen faster. With a good pen having a 6 inning SO pitcher is no big deal. Leaky pen better to get past the 7th.
