Message: [QUOTE="sutomcat, post: 4641700, member: 27"] Crazy game with lots of twists and turns. Really proud of this team for finding a way to win with the pitching staff so short handed. Reyes showed me something pitching 2 innings and shutting them down. Bad outing for Curtiss, which was surprising. Yacabonis was shaky but found a way to get through his inning. Robertson continues to impress. I hope we don’t wear him out. But really wanted to give props to Butto, who gave us 5 innings the team desperately needed. He looked legit. Threw his FB consistently in the 94-95 range. Got outs high in the strike zone. Showed a solid slider and his change up, usually his best pitch, was good at times as well. He missed a lot of bats but got in trouble some with too many walks Not bad for our eighth starter. If/when he gets sent down tomorrow, I doubt it is the last time we see him. He might be the long man replacement for Trevor we need. Or he might end up starting a bunch of games. One thing for sure; he proved he could do it at the MLB level. His outstanding stats at AAA are nice but a solid outing in the bigs is really nice. Felt bad for Escobar, who had things all lined up to be the hero is what might be his last game as the official starter at 3B for the Mets. Too bad he wasn’t able to come through. Nimmo had a nice game with not one but two great catches. Polar Bear got a huge clutch HR. Kind of surprised the As pitched to him but strategies like that lead to 100 loss seasons. He has 8 in 16 games and currently leads all players in MLB. And the last 2 were absolute bombs. Pham is doing well when he gets a chance and he looks like a fine signing so far. The Mets are now 10-6 and on track to another fine season. Still have 7 games left on the West Coast road trip. If they can go 3-4 in those games and go 6-4 on the trip overall, I would be very happy, Peterson vs May Monday, Megill vs Kershaw Tuesday and Scherzer vs Syndergaard Wednesday. Those should all be interesting games. Heck of a place for Baty to take over as a starter. [/QUOTE]
