Message: [QUOTE="sutomcat, post: 4640480, member: 27"] Carlos is struggling for sure but I give him credit for getting through 5 innings and only giving up 2 runs. After the awful first inning, he found a way to keep the As from scoring. Surprised Buck let him go out for the sixth. The analysts must have been mad about that. Drew Smith and Brooks Raley shut the As down for 2 innings. Good to see Brooks have a clean line. This allowed Buck to go with Ottavino and Robertson for the last two innings. I don’t think Drew has been able to go a whole season without getting hurt so I am not a fan of asking him to go more than one inning is dangerous but it worked out for.now. Had some roster changes dealing with the suspect back side of the relief corp. Santana got DWAed (right after picking up a win the day before) and Nogosek went in the DL (he got hit by a ball yesterday). I think Nogosek is expected back soon. Who knows if Santana will get picked up by someone else. Mets brought up Butto, really the only decent young starting pitcher in Syracuse. Also brought up Yacabonis, who I haven’t been I impressed with. I am cool with giving Hartwig some more time in AAA before he plays MLB. Kind of surprised Hunter did not get called up. He is on Syracuse now and I think he got a win yesterday. Polar Bear continues to do Polar Bear things. Failed to drive in a runner in 3rd with less than 2 men out. Threw away a sure kick off by misreading things and took the ball off his k ee. But he also made a fine play to get a double play in a liner down the line. And saved Francisco Alvarez an error with a nice play to nip a batter trying to get to first in a swing and a miss Alvarez could not hold on to. And he crushed an HR to get the Mets within 1 they really changed the game. Alvarez looks overmatched at the plate right now. Seems like his MO is to struggle for a while when he gets moved to a new level, then breaks out and do damage. Let’s hope that happens again. Soon. [/QUOTE]
