What? How did he do that?

Centerfield May 29 2018 05:42 PM Re: Sydergaard to DL, oh just kill me

The Reds are going nowhere and they got this starter who has an ERA of 3.72 and a 1.241 WHIP.

I just checked with Dr. Internet. He says strained finger ligaments are 3-6 weeks.

James Wagner of Times suggests this is precautionary: splint for now, bullpen session this weekend, perhaps back as soon as eligible to take on Orioles.

Vargas reported likely to go on short rest Wednesday since he went only three innings in sucking in his last start.

sharpie May 29 2018 06:36 PM Re: Sydergaard to DL, oh just kill me

Vargas on short rest can't be worse than Vargas on regular rest.

I can only guess that nobody that works for the Mets is an actual Mets fan. Because if I assembled a billion Mets fans in a room, not a single one of them would say "Hey I know, let's start Vargas on short rest." At least a hundred of those fans would volunteer to pitch themselves. 5 or 6 might suggest a tee. Both of those options would get more votes than short-rest Vargas.

I would volunteer my 88 year old mother over several mets

Benjamin Grimm May 29 2018 06:43 PM Re: Sydergaard to DL, oh just kill me

Maybe Vargas can try pitching right handed.

Stranger things have happened than a struggling pitcher being jolted a little to the better side with an unexpected change in plans/routine. That all I got on #srvargas Heal fast and thoroughly, Noah!

Lefty Specialist May 29 2018 07:16 PM Re: Sydergaard to DL, oh just kill me

Oy. It never ends.

Chad Ochoseis May 29 2018 07:41 PM Re: Sydergaard to DL, oh just kill me

We need some length out of Matz tonight to give the pen a break. That's Matz of the 4.7 average innings per start this season, and no more than six in any outing. 50% chance of rain in Atlanta tonight. Trying not to strain a ligament keeping my fingers crossed and hoping for a nice steady downpour. By definition of "replacement player", we should be able to grab some guy off the waiver wire to take Syndergaard's roster spot and put him on the mound Wednesday if all else fails, though I think that means DFAing someone currently on the 40-man (Jose, Jose, Jose, Jose...Jose, Jose).

Ashie62 May 29 2018 09:27 PM Re: Sydergaard to DL, oh just kill me

Seems like everyday some stoopid thing happens to the Mets. I am verklempt.

The Tee would likely create more drag against the ball leaving the park!

Conversation at the dinner table: Me: Did you hear that Syndergaard was put on the DL? OlderlittleDGW: What happened, did he lose an eye?

Edgy MD May 29 2018 11:58 PM Re: Sydergaard to DL, oh just kill me

I'll take Vargas over random Met fan. Nothing scientific, just a hunch. I guess this helps explain why he was pulled after 78 pitches his last turn.

I would volunteer Vargas as the guy you push into the volcano to appease the angry island gods.

Nymr83 May 30 2018 01:04 AM Re: Sydergaard to DL, oh just kill me

on the glass half-full side: maybe this is a bullshit DL trip that wouldn't have happened under the old "15 day" rule but the Mets are now being cautious about even minor pitcher injuries, at least to the important guys.

Frayed Knot May 30 2018 02:17 AM Re: Sydergaard to DL, oh just kill me

So what exactly were these guys doing with their fingers during their off days? I'm afraid to ask.

MFS62 May 30 2018 02:21 AM Re: Sydergaard to DL, oh just kill me

James Wagner of Times suggests this is precautionary: splint for now, Make that splint out of an emery board. It solves two problems and gets him back in action right away. And we'l be amazed at the movement on his pitches, I tells ya'. Later

cooby Jun 06 2018 03:12 PM Re: Sydergaard to DL, oh just kill me

Ok, she says wearily, and news on his finger? This is ridiculous.

d'Kong76 Jun 06 2018 03:35 PM Re: Sydergaard to DL, oh just kill me

I think he's penciled in for a Sunday night start.

cooby Jun 06 2018 03:38 PM Re: Sydergaard to DL, oh just kill me

I hope whoever penciled him in didn't get a callous or something

d'Kong76 Jun 06 2018 03:41 PM Re: Sydergaard to DL, oh just kill me

Writer's bumps can be painful.

Centerfield Jun 08 2018 08:05 PM Re: Sydergaard to DL, oh just kill me

Scratched from Sunday's start. His finger swelled up. Awesome.

Benjamin Grimm Jun 08 2018 08:08 PM Re: Sydergaard to DL, oh just kill me

Just cut the damn thing off. Mordecai Brown didn't need five fingers. Why does Noah?

bmfc1 Jun 08 2018 08:58 PM Re: Sydergaard to DL, oh just kill me

We heard: it's just precautionary, he could have pitched through it; he could go Tuesday (Orioles) but to be safe they'll wait for Sunday; he's on track for Sunday; and, he's ready to go on Sunday. And now: it's Seth Lugo vs. the MFYs on Sunday Night Baseball.

Okay someone is hiding something. This is preposterous if all he did was strain a finger

And sometimes things that seem minor have a lurking underlying cause that's more sever, which is what we're hoping to avoid here. Hoping it's just strained and healing slowly and not some insidious nerve damage.

Ashie62 Jun 08 2018 11:04 PM Re: Sydergaard to DL, oh just kill me

This is going to drag on folks
