His wrist was already sore before that. That play happened late in the game after he had pinch hit and stayed in on defense. It had been announced before the game that he was available to pinch hit but would not start due to a sore wrist. I remember worrying that he might have made it worse.
People forget that both Camargo and Riley were on fire in spring training. Hope those guys both make it back at the plate quickly. I'd love to see both of them in the lineup together more often
That is the biggest frustration with Riley, he seems to whiff meatballs every other plate appearance.
Also, WTF is going on with Cespedes? Must be a huge story, but I only just casually heard Chip mention that he never showed up to the ballpark and the Mets don't know where he is. Guessing him not playing well has hid head screwed up?
Yes, assuming we spent money on retaining Ozuna and signing a quality starter who can actually eat up quality innings, I’d be just fine with some combination of Duval/Goat/Riley at LF/3B.
Was one of the worst AB’s I’ve seen from Freddie. Up 3-0 and then swings at a pitcher’s pitch on the inner black, chases ball 4 for strike 2, and then whiffs on a curveball in the dirt.
Once we trade Ender for a PTBNL and eat 95% of his payroll. It should be Camargo/Duvall/Riley in LF/3B and Pache in CF and Ron in right.
No big deal or anything but another successful Minter appearance out of the pen. It's really not a big deal, so we don't have to talk about it.
It bugs me hearing them shrug off advanced stats. I think it's time to make some effort to learn them, Jeff.
You're talking to Jeff "if OBP was so important, why isn't it on the scoreboard" Francoeur. Of course, OBP is on the scoreboard nowadays.
Really going to need Soroka to go 7 innings tomorrow. Put a lot on the pen the last two days. When do we get to see Will Smith?? He's back with the team, right??
Much better chance of that happening than Wright getting out of that jam in the 4th. I trust Wright as far as I can throw him. Plus, with the 60 games schedule, I'm not too concerned yet. It'd be real nice facing de Grom tomorrow already having the first 3 games of this series.
