A shame. They've got a decent team that just can't hit for some reason and two of those players (Votto, Bruce) have huge contracts.

Scoobz0202 · 05-24-2015, 09:46 AM

That is a damn shame. I never follow the mets but David Wright always seemed like a great captain and he definitely gave it his all during some pretty shitty years. He could have easily gone to a contender if he wanted. Shame to see this happen as it looks like the mets may be turning it around.

Is yesterday the first time somebody was ejected during the lineup exchange?

Nah. IIRC Bobby Cox managed it at least once, possibly twice, but I can't find any links (him getting tossed wasn't exactly unusual)

Steve Boros definitely managed it back in '86

White Sox coach Mark Parent did it back in 2013 too.

Lathum · 05-25-2015, 12:35 PM

Royals being the Royals. Yankess score 5 runs in the first inning and still going. Guy on the Yankees tries to bunt his way on with the 5-0 lead and gets thrown out. Next batter gets drilled in the leg.

cartman · 05-25-2015, 08:02 PM

I don't think the Yankees have beaten the Royals that bad since the Revolutionary War

SirFozzie · 05-25-2015, 10:57 PM

Not often you see a homer turned into an out turned back into a Homer, but that happened today when Khris Davis homered, and then was ruled out for not touching home plate, and then the call was challenged and reversed on video review.

The funny part was he homered again on the next plate appearance, and the crowd gave him an extra ovation when he made sure to step squarely on home plate

http://m.mlb.com/news/article/126536...te-on-home-run

Vince, Pt. II · 05-25-2015, 11:13 PM

I'm actually happy with how it all played out. I'm 99% certain he did indeed miss home plate, but that's a shitty way to get an out.

SackAttack · 05-26-2015, 01:29 AM

He touched home plate, Vince.

http://m.mlb.com/video/topic/6381756...wers-challenge

5:30 and 7:00. It's clear as day on replay. You can see the heel come down and land flush with the ground. Unless you think there's an invisible force field over home plate so that he didn't actually make contact, I mean.

cmp · 05-26-2015, 10:23 AM

The Tigers are terrible right now. I have no confidence in Ausmus to get this thing turned around.

FS Wisconsin had a good angle on it. It was close but his back heel did hit the plate, barely. Not that it matters because the Brewers suck.

Mizzou B-ball fan · 05-26-2015, 01:14 PM

Not certain how much longer Guthrie is going to be in the rotation. There were calls for him to be replaced, then yesterday happened. I think he's safe until Duffy comes back off the disabled list, but don't know after that.

Mizzou B-ball fan · 05-26-2015, 01:29 PM

dola

I'm not sure I thought I'd ever live to see this. Royals currently leading the voting at five of the nine AL starting spots for the All Star Game.

Your definition of clear as day and mine are slightly different

I had not seen that angle yet, and it is much easier to argue that he did with that angle.

The point of my post was that even if he didn't touch the plate, I'm happy they still ruled it a home run.

As the Mets Facebook page said, Thor brought his hammer today - what a nice HR by Syndergaard!

Chief Rum · 05-27-2015, 03:26 PM

The depth of the Dodgers' lineup is utterly ridiculous.

Starting 8 (when healthy and up with the bigs)

C: Grandal
1B: Gonzalez
2B: Kendrick
3B: Olivera
SS: Rollins
LF: Crawford
CF: Pederson
RF: Puig

Backup

C: Ellis
1B: Van Slyke
2B: Barney
SS: Turner
3B: Uribe
LF: Guerrero
CF: Ethier
RF: Helsey

That's nuts. The second lineup has some duds, but that's not a terrible lineup.

ISiddiqui · 05-27-2015, 03:31 PM

Though Uribe just got dealt to the Braves for Callaspo.

Unless they tried again today, he didn't. Callaspo has the option to turn the trade down and did so (last I heard).

Either way, Callaspo would just slot into Uribe's spot.

I would have even gotten Larry Fosizzle my Hisle who went off that year. Even though its pronounced "High Sool".

JeeberD · 05-27-2015, 04:55 PM

I would have gotten George Brett and Reggie Jackson. If I had looked closely enough I probably would have gotten Eck, too. But I was born in '77, so most of those players were really before my time. If it was the '92 All Star team I would probably have gotten most of them.

sent it over to my friend with the names chopped off. he did pretty well. 29 out of 37

I have a little bit of an advantage here because that's the year of those TWIB DVDs I bought...

Back row: campy, thurmando, nettles, sparky, Lynn, eck, Epstein (??), wynegar, money (?), Ron Fairly

Second row: rice, scott, Palmer, singleton, ruppert jones, bochte (?), Dave Rozema, no clue, fo shizzle my hisle, remy

stevew · 05-27-2015, 07:58 PM

Mizzou B-ball fan · 05-29-2015, 03:46 PM

Continues to amaze me how well the Royals fans are turning out for road games. The game in Wrigley today sounds and feels like a Royals home game.

EagleFan · 05-29-2015, 07:36 PM

Chad Bettis... yes the Chad Bettis... is perfect through 6 innings.

Have I said that the Phillies really sucks...

EagleFan · 05-29-2015, 07:43 PM

I blame MLB.com... they had it on the front page and had it worded as "Bettis was perfect through 6"; 1st batter of the 7th gets on due to error (no hitter is alive).

Clearly Alex Rios is getting all of those all star votes based on his production with the Rangers and White Sox, considering he has only appeared in 8 games for the Royals. What a crock.

Yes, because that article is so far fetched. We would all love to see the Royals vs the NL All Stars. Sounds like the writer doesnt know what he is talking about at any rate. Certain teams turn in their ballots at different times so it is more probable that the Yankees, Red Sox, Angels ballots turn ins are lagging behind.

I'll say it again. When he is on there is no better pitcher in baseball than deGrom.

Other than those who are better

Easy Mac · 06-02-2015, 08:31 AM

Andrew Cashner is the first pitcher in history to allow 10+ hits and get 10+ K in a game where he pitched less than 5 complete innings. Only 2 other pitchers have pitched 5 complete innings with 10 and 10.

Only Alex Cobb has struck out more (13) in a game where the pitcher did not go at least 5 complete innings.
