A Boy Named Seo Apr 10 2018 05:07 PM

Matt Ehalt of the Record is reporting Oswalt is getting recalled. No word yet on who is hurt/getting the boot. Discuss. [tweet:ufwv9p37]https://twitter.com/MattEhalt/status/983741564857016321[/tweet:ufwv9p37]

Sewald?

A Boy Named Seo Apr 10 2018 05:18 PM Re: Bring me a Corey Oswalt, please

Probably, right? It's easy to forget he's on the team.

John Cougar Lunchbucket Apr 10 2018 05:18 PM Re: Bring me a Corey Oswalt, please

It's like Sewald been the invisible guy. Maybe though they replace Robles who's been the unavoidable guy.

Edgy MD Apr 10 2018 05:18 PM Re: Bring me a Corey Oswalt, please

Now's the time to sign Cliff Lee out of retirement.

Ceetar Apr 10 2018 05:37 PM Re: Bring me a Corey Oswalt, please

the concern is not with Wheeler but they already have to make another move. I always worry about the last guy to pitch when stuff like this breaks. Hope it's not Thor.

Noah had that finger issue last night.

Nimmo down for Oswalt.

Edgy MD Apr 10 2018 06:29 PM Re: Bring me a Corey Oswalt, please

Well, with that .600 on-base percentage, it was only a matter of time.

G-Fafif Apr 10 2018 06:30 PM Re: Bring me a Corey Oswalt, please

Oswalt gets No. 55. Nimmo gets playing time.

A Boy Named Seo Apr 10 2018 06:41 PM Re: Bring me a Corey Oswalt, please

For real? I hope his demotion comes with a first base mitt. This suxxx for Zimmo.

Benjamin Grimm Apr 10 2018 06:43 PM Re: Bring me a Corey Oswalt, please

It does. But I guess this two-times-through-the-lineup thing is going to require a 13-man pitching staff.

Nymr83 Apr 10 2018 06:45 PM Re: Bring me a Corey Oswalt, please

Crazy.

John Cougar Lunchbucket Apr 10 2018 06:46 PM Re: Bring me a Corey Oswalt, please

unbefuckinleiveable

d'Kong76 Apr 10 2018 06:49 PM Re: Bring me a Corey Oswalt, please

Surprised it's him, but I suppose getting AB's and staying sharp is better than him sitting around on a cold bench if that's where they think he should be for the time being up here. He'll be back soon.

Some goon caller to WFAN, prefacing his comment with "this isn't gonna be popular and probably a little politically incorrect," suggests Mets have it in for those who are forthright in their Christian faith, citing Murphy not being retained almost two-and-a-half years ago and Nimmo today. Oswalt, a known Satan-worshipper, couldn't be reached for a statement.

seawolf17 Apr 10 2018 07:10 PM Re: Bring me a Corey Oswalt, please

I can legitimately see this being a playing-time issue. You want to get Nimmo ABs, one way or the other, and he's not getting them up here right now. And at the same time, with the starters going five innings, you're going to need as many fresh bullpen arms as you can have. As GF noted, as long as Tebow is in the organization, the "religious" argument doesn't hold water at all.

G-Fafif Apr 10 2018 07:13 PM Re: Bring me a Corey Oswalt, please

They kept Nimmo when they could have traded him for Andrew McCutchen. I think they like him fine.

smg58 Apr 10 2018 09:05 PM Re: Bring me a Corey Oswalt, please

I don't get this, but we've pulled all the right levers so far. Let's see how this pans out.

Benjamin Grimm Apr 10 2018 09:12 PM Re: Bring me a Corey Oswalt, please

My guess: It's a hedge against Wheeler getting knocked out in the second inning.

Ashie62 Apr 10 2018 09:37 PM Re: Bring me a Corey Oswalt, please

My guess: It's a hedge against Wheeler getting knocked out in the second inning. This was stated as a reason When does Nimmo get MLB playing time? He's not getting any younger. 13 pitchers? Zounds

Is it true that Sandy summonsed Oswalt by calling the 1-800-Corey hotline?

d'Kong76 Apr 11 2018 01:58 AM Re: Bring me a Corey Oswalt, please

moved

Goes back down after tonights game to make room for Wheeler.

Edgy MD Apr 11 2018 03:18 AM Re: Bring me a Corey Oswalt, please

PAPER MET ALERT!!

G-Fafif Apr 21 2018 07:55 PM Re: Bring me a Corey Oswalt, please

Corey's back, Gerson's down.

G-Fafif Apr 21 2018 10:07 PM Re: Bring me a Corey Oswalt, please

Interesting that Bautista was sent back to Binghamton. You'd figure a little MLB time would get him Vegas.
