I just saw Palencia 15 day IL left oblique. That’s usually a month or so right?

Oh Good Cool Great Now Daniel Palencia is Hurt, Too

Now the Cubs closer goes on the Injured List.

The kid can flat out hit.

 

[BigJCy]

This is looking like a shoot-out today.

 

[CycloneErik]

No runs in the 3rd. I've got concerns.

 

[Cyforce]

So if this becomes a save situation who do you think? Theilbar?

Won’t happen but Martin has closer of the future written on him unless they make him a starter.

 

[ClonesTwenty1]

We are cursed again

 

[BigJCy]

Hoerner 3 more hits again today.

 

[BigJCy]

This Webb guy does not impress me.

I'm just happy we're not going to find out.

Martin did look good.

40 runs in last 4 games. Can we move back to the NL East?

 

[CycloneErik]

Keep scoring 10+ and we might not need a pitching staff.

 

[RivClone23]

Only team this year to score 10+ in three straight games

[FerShizzle]

what the latest into a season that an entire division is above .500?



*nvm. i guess in 2005 the stupid NL east went almost the entire season. the nationals lost on the last day to finish 81-81.

There’s not a hotter player than Nico right now. And he’s swinging the bat well too

Mo Baller begs to differ.
But really glad they both play for us.

 

[Cyforce]

Felt really good about the Mets nine game losing streak then I saw who we’re facing tomorrow

 

[cyatheart]

Shaw is similar to a young Nico , but with more power. With Happ and Suzuki both free agents after this season, Shaw could replace one of those guys in 2027. And his salary impact on team payroll is pretty minimal.

IMO, within a couple years Shaw will be a .280 hitter and consistently slugging 55 extra base hits each season.

Agree, he was great second half of last year. Would be nuts to trade him.
