The sportsbook Bovada gives the #Mets the fourth-best odds to win the World Series, behind only the Blue Jays, Royals and Cardinals.

Mets over Pirates and Cubs?

Suppose wild card has something with it.

Pirates and Cubs both going to have better record than Mets AND Giants and they're stuck in Wild Card. Crazy. Darn Cardinals. Not trying to see a 5th straight NLCS with them in it.

Where @TheCUTCH22 stands amid fellow @Pirates legends through their first 1,000 games …

That's a bad *** trio.

Should Cubs start Lester or Arrieta in the Wild Card game? 

Pirates are going to have a field day on the bases if Lester starts lol.

 

[dmxfury]

Looks like the best player in franchise history to me.


I know Clemente is a Diety like figure but Cutch on his way.

Cutch is beloved, he keeps it up his name will be right there with #21

As for Bonds, no comment

Idiot.

 

[d3si]

Cutch never ceases to amaze me. I nearly forget that he's still only 28.

You gotta go with Arrieta over Lester. Especially if they end up playing Pittsburgh. Lester literally cannot throw to first base anymore. That big of a game with only Walker to worry about power wise, I'm not risking it.

I can't wait until Bundy & Co. get out of Baltimore's and their atrocious pitching minds.

 

[awwsome]

Marte, Cutch and Polanco would steal 6 bases against Lester.

He also has the talent to hold them to 2-3 hits with 10 K's though.

 

[johnnyredstorm]

Bundy is going to be a reliever. He's not built for 200 innings.

 

[jjs07]

Bundy might be a lost cause at this point Just hope they don't **** up Hunter Harvey. Goodness knows they botched Gausman's development.

 

[proshares]

He is. But, not his fault his HS coach tried to ruin any chance of him pitching until he's 30.

I would guarantee that if he went somewhere that let him throw his cutter instead of making him stop because of an unfounded belief, he'd get his Jo-Fer-esque stuff back. It's almost identical to Arrieta leaving, throwing less 4 seamers that BAL pushed and more cut/sliders that they tried to shelve and being this Arrieta.

Gausman starting to come around though.

 

[johnnyredstorm]

You make Bundy a setup man he can be dangerous.

 

[jewbacca2]

Just as long as you're not a twins pitching prospect, you still have a chance

 

[johnnyredstorm]

Are the Twins turning Tyler Jay into a reliever or just limiting his innings?

Question: Should pitcherhitting be factored into voting for NL Cy Young?


How much should Madison Bumgarnes hitting effect his Cy Young case? According to fangraphs he's added 10 more runs over an average starting pitcher.

I don't think he's even started a game yet this year.

Denard Span reinstated from the DL. First game this season our entire projected starting lineup will play together. Not even excited about it.
