Terry's Other Team: NL All-Stars 2016

bmfc1 Jun 01 2016 07:03 PM

Which Mets will join Terry Collins, his coaches and the trainers in San Diego for the All-Star Game? I'm thinking: Walker, Cespedes, Syndergaard, Matz, Familia.

Seems like the Cubs have taken a page from the 2015 Royals.

CURRENT WAR LEADERS (BY POSTION / LEAGUE) C - LUCROY / S.PEREZ 1B - GOLDSCHMIDT / M.CABRERA 2B - ZOBRIST / ALTUVE SS - SEAGER / BOGAERTS 3B - BRYANT / MACHADO OF - FOWLER, OZUNA, G.POLANCO, HARPER / TROUT, DESMOND, SPRINGER, BETTS DH - MURPHY / CANO

Yo stays at #3:

bmfc1 Jun 15 2016 06:29 PM Re: Terry's Other Team: NL All-Stars 2016

Yo continues to be #3. It's nice that 3 positions, as of now, will not be Cubs:

Yo still in position to start in the NL OF, seems pretty safe in third place overall with a few days to go. Neil Walker is the only other Met who shows up anywhere in the balloting. Gotta believe Familia and Thor join him in SD.

Mets Guy in Michigan Jun 28 2016 12:48 AM Re: Terry's Other Team: NL All-Stars 2016

Too many damn Cubs.

bmfc1 Jun 28 2016 02:29 PM Re: Terry's Other Team: NL All-Stars 2016

Final update before the big reveal on July 5 ("Fan voting for All-Star starters closes at 11:59 p.m. ET on Thursday, and the starting lineups will be announced on ESPN on July 5.").

bmfc1 Jun 28 2016 02:31 PM Re: Terry's Other Team: NL All-Stars 2016

Given the current state of the Mets, I wonder if Noah will be named but not play. Walker should make it but Murphy will back him up. Colon should be considered. It could just be Cespedes and Familia from the Mets.

The natural instinct for as many as Mets as possible is at odds with the desire to rest everybody. They finish first half at home on a Sunday, they start second half in Philly on Friday. Round trip to San Diego is a long journey for the tipping of caps. Plus I can see Cespedes's hip aggravating somewhere over Missouri (where little good ever happens to Mets) when he gets up to use the lavatory.

I like to think the celebratory nature of a few days doing 'baseball stuff' but not competitively is a better mental break than just taking 4 days off.

Frayed Knot Jul 05 2016 11:39 PM Re: Terry's Other Team: NL All-Stars 2016

Cespedes (as starter), plus Syndergaard & Familia

It would turn the game into a farce if he got a chance to bat. DO IT, TERRY!

Wondering if employer referring to employee as Big Sexy constitutes harassment.

Is Colon the oldest pitcher all-star ever? Oldest all-star ever?

RealityChuck Jul 08 2016 07:36 PM Re: Terry's Other Team: NL All-Stars 2016

No. Satchell Paige was 47, and Rivera was a few months older.

LeiterWagnerFasterStrongr Jul 10 2016 12:09 AM Re: Terry's Other Team: NL All-Stars 2016

Well, laundry-interests aside, 2.47 ERA and 10 K/9 over 100-plus innings is nothing at which to sniff. But yeah, FAWK DAT GYE.

bmfc1 Jul 10 2016 02:24 AM Re: Terry's Other Team: NL All-Stars 2016

So the NL Champions will end up with 2 active players in the ASG, the same number as the Padres. Meanwhile, the Cubs have 6.

Chad Ochoseis Jul 10 2016 01:30 PM Re: Terry's Other Team: NL All-Stars 2016

On the other hand, five players from the 2015 Mets were picked for the team, which isn't bad at all.

I wonder if Colon, as a relatively last minute all star replacement, is holding his jersey forward facing because the back of his jersey hasn't been customized yet?
