Pretty boring watching pitchers strike out so as not to risk anything
Sometimes they walk on 4 pitches with the bases loaded.
He's just a bored (from no meaningful baseball in a while) Mets fan. You shouldn't take any of the comments seriously.
Pitcher going up to bat is one of the stupidest rules in baseball.Sure it makes you use more strategy. But you can also make the game more strategic by forcing the pitcher to wear a blindfold for the first batter each inning. Or by giving the manager the ability to reverse a strikeout once a game.TLDR; Dumb rules are dumb
it's good to be a Lubavitcher
Ouch. Just to clarify, for many years, I had said that Maddon was the best manager in baseball. Then when he got to the Cubs and was treated as a demigod for his every sneeze, I said that he's the best and most overrated manager in the game at the same time. And yes, as he continued his demigod status despite multiple major blunders, I became resentful. I still think he's great, and I've heard he's a good guy, but this divine treatment for an obviously imperfect manager has started to get to me.(Please don't get me started on any of the Yankees)

So how about 'em Yankees?
Nice try
Which NY team has the better starting rotation?
Thats an easy one, Mets. That is why they are up 3-2 in the playoffs. 😂
I think coming into the season we all thought Mets. Now, I understand that there is room for ridicule. That said, as it stands, I think the best two pitchers in NY are in Queens, though the Yankees have obviously showed that their rotation is more deep/stable. To be fair, outside of Severino, every single Yankee starter has conveniently decided to throw the best 2-3 games of his life in the last 2 weeks, and they're not all this good in general.
Mets have the 2 best sp, but Yankee rotation with gray is deeper especially before Pineda for hurt, the real strength is in the bullpen of course, Yankees don’t need to rely on same kind of production from their sp as typical teams do.
I think that's an understated point, and you can never prove this, but I wonder if that has helped their performance in the playoffs. 1) They usually don't face the lineup a third time (or if they do, they're out the second there's trouble) 2) They know they can pitch as hard as they can and go all in and as soon as they get tired, they're good.
