Series Thread: Mets @ Bucs

[evolver115]

Worley v Matsuzaka | 7:05

Cumpton v DeGrom | 7:05

Cole v Niese | 4:05

Volquez v Colon | 1:35



Really want to see them take 3 of 4. I hope they've taken 3 by Sunday because it seems like Bartolo Colon, for whatever reason, has the Bucs number, and I can see him continuing that domination.

LET'S GO BUCS

 

[Darkstone42]

Worley with a good first, three soft outs, but we couldn't cash in on Polanco being at second in the bottom of the frame.

 

[Darkstone42]

Harrison guns down Abreu at the plate to keep the score knotted at 0!

 

[Darkstone42]

Worley looks good through three. Not a lot of hard contact.

 

[Darkstone42]

Duda hit a home run which might have gone 330 feet. 1-1.

We have a chance to answer with Cutch on second, though.

 

[Darkstone42]

Davis gets in a rundown, and McCutchen scores easily. I like that baserunning with two outs.

 

[Darkstone42]

Polanco extends the lead with a three-run homer!

 

[Darkstone42]

Vance Worley.

Who knew?

 

[Darkstone42]

Snider is weirdly good at pinch-hitting considering how bad he is when he starts.

Polanco's three-run shot | MLB.com

His power stroke looks so effortless. What a swing this guy has.

Polanco is going to be a monster in this league for a long time

1 game at a time... but man.. barring shitty pitching, this team has a feel to me. A good feel.

 

[Darkstone42]

The offense is definitely pretty good, I think. They get on base, first and foremost, and that's a pretty good skill to have.

 

[steelparrot]

Yep we see alot of pitches and that adds alot of synergy to our offense.

 

[sychmd]

if we just had a 4 or 5 hitter, we would be a great offensive team.
if pedro could just take over. don't think ike davis will.
wonder what it would have taken to get duda instead of davis, altho davis is playing better than i anticipated. too bad lambo has a lost season so far.

maybe bell will be our 1B of 2016 and go with our platoon again in 15.

 

[Darkstone42]

Cumpton through the first 1-2-3 on 10 pitches, although Granderson made me nervous for a second.

 

[Darkstone42]

Cumpton is wasting no time early in this game. Very efficient.

 

[TheBurgh88]

Harrison is amazing!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[sychmd]

career year, or breakout player?

could he be a 2B and we trade walker for a better 1B option.

who would you keep, harrison or walker for 2B and why?
hypothetical argument - obviously harrison has a lot of value with versatility and some speed/energy.
will walker power surge this first half continue, or just an aberration.

There aren't any first basemen worth trading for. The only way the Pirates could improve would be to get a legit elite bat, but no team is going to trade a first basemen of that caliber.
