Str'OH Man!

Frayed Knot Jul 22 2020 06:37 PM

NY Post is reporting not a 'strained' calf but a 'torn' one. Of course saying a muscle is "strained" is pretty much the same thing as saying it's a somewhat minor tear so part of that is just semantics. But they're also mentioning "several weeks" at a minimum and then he'd need time to ramp back up after that. And with a season that's less than ten weeks long to start with ...

And he's a free agent this off-season. Trades are for the birds. In this case, for the Blue Jay birds.

Johnny Lunchbucket Jul 22 2020 08:11 PM Re: Str'OH Man!

Suspected he was headed fr a disappointment with all the struttin he did early this year. A shame

Centerfield Jul 22 2020 08:11 PM Re: Str'OH Man!

From what I read online, 3 weeks for a mild one. 4-6 for moderate. Severe is 3-4 months. Let's hope his Mets career isn't over.

Hasn't Stroman been largely ineffective for a couple years now? Next!

ashie loves his next.

This sucks some ass. Who is our fifth starter now? Christ

Benjamin Grimm Jul 23 2020 12:28 PM Re: Str'OH Man!

I don't think it's Christ. Maybe it's Chasen Shreve, which is almost the same thing.

G-Fafif Jul 23 2020 12:35 PM Re: Str'OH Man!

Corey Oswalt is likely the fifth starter.

metsmarathon Jul 23 2020 01:38 PM Re: Str'OH Man!

Marcus Stroman has opted out for the season. He's a FA after 2020. https://twitter.com/Joelsherman1/status/1292900180728131589

Benjamin Grimm Aug 10 2020 01:50 PM Re: Str'OH Man!

I've seen speculation that a lot of players may be delaying their opt-out until they hit service-time milestones. Oh well. I had hoped he'd be coming back soon. I guess he was just playing at his rehab.

Feel like Brodie needs to make a play to resign him. If he's still got a job in October

batmagadanleadoff Aug 10 2020 02:33 PM Re: Str'OH Man!

Steve Cohen woulda re-signed Zack Wheeler. No. Wait. Steve Cohen woulda signed Gerritt Cole.

nymr83 Aug 10 2020 02:41 PM Re: Str'OH Man!

At least he didn't pull a Cespedes. Good luck wherever he goes but hope he stays here

To me Strohmann is bread anyway

And, for this season, he's toast.

bmfc1 Aug 10 2020 05:18 PM Re: Str'OH Man!

I was looking forward to seeing him pitch for the Mets but I don't blame him. He's coming off an injury and he doesn't need to get hurt again going into free agency.

And I truly mean that from the bottom of my heart,” Stroman said Monday. “However this may play out in the future, obviously I would love to be a part of what they have going on. There's a lot that goes into that, but I can't say enough good things about this organization and my time here and everybody that's been involved.”

Lefty Specialist Aug 11 2020 05:11 AM Re: Str'OH Man!

Looking to be the anti-Cespedes. And looking to have one more suitor in free agency. He didn't impress me enough in the short time he pitched for the Mets to throw big dollars at him. But realistically, this finishes the Mets. They have no fifth starter. Also no second and third starter. Peterson's an acceptable #4 at this point.

Benjamin Grimm Aug 11 2020 05:26 AM Re: Str'OH Man!

They only have to be a .500 team (more or less) to make the playoffs, so while this is definitely a setback it's hard to say that they're necessarily "finished".

nymr83 Aug 11 2020 11:30 AM Re: Str'OH Man!

And a .500 Mets team is still a serious contender in a 5 game series where deGrom can start 2 games

batmagadanleadoff Aug 11 2020 12:02 PM Re: Str'OH Man!

The Mets are a serious contender even if deGrom's pitching for their opponent. Five baseball games? Are you fucking kidding me?

smg58 Aug 11 2020 05:24 PM Re: Str'OH Man!

No point in bailing on the season when you're half a game out of the last wildcard spot. I thought Stroman was worth the gamble; he had a good resumé in the toughest division in baseball, and he did help the Mets get back in it last year. But circumstances conspired against it working out. I don't fault Brodie for that, although thinking that they didn't need to at least break even on Wheeler was a huge mistake. Stroman said all the right things, but of course he'll go to the team that opens their wallet the widest.
