Soothsaying for Sixteen: Antonio Bastardo

A lefty with a villain's name
"Spanish curse! He's in the game!"
If someone shouts with venom, he
Thinks I'm still the enemy



A different hat upon my bean
What's the forecast for sixteen?

There once was a man named Bastardo
Had more fun in New York than Don Pardo
"The 8th's mine!" he decreed,
"not yours, Addison Reed!"
"40 holds while I'm pitching to d'Arnaud!"

I already sayeth my sooth.
But I can't say that quickly three times.

He lied to us in song!

Actually a good enough guess. I worry that all relief pitchers have a good chance to be terrible and at the same time tend not to worry about the bullpen in general.

I got the Bastardo at 4-4, 3.47, 74 whiffs, 23 bbs. In 66 ip

Was going to make up a rhyme
But found I don't have the time
Just give him the ball
For an eighth inning wall
And watch the stat totals climb

Only a handful of soothsayers, but none correctly predicted the bomb crater of a season that Antonio Bastardo had. Someday, you may forget he was ever a Met.

In another possibly deft piece of chip cashing, the deal allowed the Mets to escape at least some of the 2017 obligation to Bastardo. That's something.

I just realized that I need to be more active when it's time to discuss soothsaying for seventeen.

I think we need to call in a team of highly paid consultants to craft a better "branding" campaign for '17. "Soothsaying" didn't test well with Millennials, Gen X or Boomers.
