Thor's Streppin' Out

G-Fafif Sep 23 2016 08:52 PM

Thor scratched Saturday because of strep throat. Really. Gilmartin to start.

My headline prediction: THOR THROAT

I've had strep as an adult - that's nasty shit! Heal quickly Thor!

WTF is the next affliction to strike the team? Locusts? Later

It's the dreaded New Yorker cover jinx.

Wow. They're not making it easy, are they?

In the best case scenario here: - Thor is all well and good by Monday - he "saved" his start for the Marlins instead of "wasting" it on the mere Phillies - was probably only going to start twice more in the regular season anyway so doesn't lose one - and it lines he and Bartolo up for the final two games of the season if needed - or, if not needed, for the WC game and Game 1 of the NLDS ... so this winds up not being a net loss in the long run and we survived his missed outing and Ynoa's bad replacement on Friday.

Well, last night's game was surviving Matz's replacement by Ynoa. The Mets still have to survive today's replacement of Syndergaard by Gilmartin. By not pitching today, Noah is no longer aligned to start the Wednesday playoff game on regular rest, but I'm pretty sure that if he regains his health they'll find a way to get him to start that game. My guess is that he'll only have one remaining regular season start, but that might be sufficient.

I wonder if he was sick during his last start against the Braves. Looked like shit.

Edgy MD Sep 24 2016 01:14 PM Re: Thor's Streppin' Out

Yeah, and he came out strong, but faded real fast, just like you can expect a sick person over-estimating his strength to do.

I know we're not allowed to talk about our fantasy teams here, but not having him today will probably end my season. Pump.

Great Line from Todd Zola, ESPN Fantasy Writer: Gsellman steps in for Syndergaard, unable to make the start, as he is suffering from a case of strep throat. The good news is you don’t have to visit Dr. Andrews for that.
