  1. Should have waited. Tickets will probably be cheaper on StubHub or SeatGeek closer to the games. I never buy that far in advance. Always wait day off if I'm travelling on the road to see a ballgame. Especially Yankees/Mets tickets are usually cheaper resale than from the box office.
  2. The Mets still ended up winning haha. But yeah what a joke!
  3. Well people love to cherry pick on here sometimes to suit their narrative, so why not join in on the fun haha.
  4. Again, you’re twisting words and trying to force an argument where there doesn’t need to be one, just so you can sound superior. At the end of the day, Lauer is probably near the end of the line anyway once Yesavage and Berrios get back. So if he ends up making five or six starts for us, then yes, the results have been mediocre - but that’s exactly why he’s a career 5th or 6th starter. He can go through stretches where he looks solid, like we saw in the early part of last season, and he can also go through stretches where the inconsistency shows up. For a guy who was 7th or 8th on your SP depth chart, if he gets called on because of injuries and gives you around five innings while allowing roughly three earned runs per start over a handful of outings, the Jays have definitely gotten worse before.
  5. Take away Lauer's starts against the Twins and White Sox, don't know what there is to complain about. As a swingman/8th SP on your depth charts, what do you expect Spanky?
  6. Ok who else did the Jays have available to fill in during the short term?
  7. For a guy who was at the very back of our SP depth chart and is only in this spot because of injuries, yes, I’ll absolutely take 5 innings and 3 ER for now. Nobody’s calling it great. But in that role, it’s serviceable, and we’ve definitely run out far worse before.
  8. You're a fool. Nobody’s saying 5 innings and 3 ER every time out is good. The point is it’s survivable in the short term if the offense does its job and the bullpen holds. Acting like every start has to be ace-level or it’s useless is just lazy analysis. And yes, the velo drop is concerning - nobody’s denying that. But there’s a difference between acknowledging the concern and pretending the guy is completely finished. That’s where you’re reaching. Who else could have the Jays used instead of Lauer? Once the Jays get some arms back, Lauer won't be needed anyways.
  9. Would be a good challenge trade 😂
  10. Murakami wants to play for the Dodgers, which is why he's doing this well 😂
  11. Yeah that's all he is a 5th/6th starter. Maybe the odd season, he puts up numbers like he did last season, or he can be mediocre/very bad like he is now. That's why he's a 5th/6th starter. 5.09 BB/9 doesn't help. Need to get that down in the 2-3 range. While he looked awful today, if Lauer gives you 5 innings of 3 ER every time out, I'll take that. Also, not a bad idea to use an opener (RHP) in front of him.
  12. Max Muncy has 8 HR's on the season and only 9 RBI lol
  13. Seriously, leave the stars of the game alone. If I were MLB, and anyone intentionally tried to hit Acuna, Ohtani, Soto, Judge, or any other star player, they’d be getting an immediate suspension and a hefty fine. No questions asked.
  14. AL Cy Young. Just needs to work on being more efficient and pitch 6-7 innings each time. So far Cease has been insane!
  15. Yeah seems like Jays will be sticking with him. Worked out nicely last night that it was a 5-2 game, so he had some cushion at least. Hopefully he finds his groove and could get back on track.
  16. Insane strikeout rate which is why. Nobody is denying his ability to miss bats.
  17. I was always more of a Tim guy to be honest haha.
  18. Closer battle of Romano vs. Hoffman - who blows the first save of this series? 😂

  20. I don't believe in the Angels, but kinda sucks we're running into them while they've been playing hot. Hopefully we can win this series to end the road trip. Should be a good pitching matchup tonight between Cease and Detmers.
  21. Since Mayor Mamdani hugged Mr. and Mrs. Met.
