I know absolutely nothing about the players involved, but why? M's are 9 back and Mets are 18 back.


Yes, the Mets, with their $350,000,000 payroll outpacing their New York counterparts by $75,000,000 for the largest payroll in the league, are 18 games out of first place in the NL East.

Now, please continue the thrashing of the Rangers…

Can't. Maldonado is the greatest defensive catcher the world has every seen or will every see according to Dusty and Astros media

No, but his velo is down about 3 MPH on it. Very concerning.

It's pretty clear Javier's fastball "disappears" at 94+

91-93 is BP

Maybe they will be sellers at the deadline.

This is what Verlander would look like in an Astros uniform…

With the ASB coming up, I hope we skip his next start. Could be fatigue.

Hope they let him go batter to batter in the fifth. Need to save as many bullpen outs as they can.

So what do we think the issue is? Mechanical? More innings than he's ever thrown when you combine playoffs with being a full time starter? I.e. is it something extended rest + ASB may fix, or does he have to make real tweaks?

Gonna need him.

He may be dealing with dead arm.

He pitched all last season, through post and WBC.

The frustrating thing about maldy is they take a very likable guy and make the fanbase hate him
Because they insist on playing
Him so much. Make him the once a week catcher and he's a fan favorite.

Javi might need a nice 15 day IL stint and rejuvenate his arm. It's clear not only is his velo down, but spin rate is down as well

Slapdicks getting pumped they cut the lead in half - it's easier for me just watching the game cast from afar … hoping offense keeps stepping on it

Rangers have a day game @ Red Sox tomorrow. Lets wear that bullpen out and leave them running on fumes.
