Dick Allen Posted August 1, 2019 Share Posted August 1, 2019 According to gameday on espn.com, the Mets have decided to go with no LF to make the game a little more interesting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wegner Posted August 1, 2019 Author Share Posted August 1, 2019 Nice to see a scoreless inning from Carson. Watching on gameday...I get the impression he was effectively wild? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jack Parkman Posted August 1, 2019 Share Posted August 1, 2019 Ooh this version of Fulmer actually has a chance to be a bullpen piece. Stuff is much improved. Gotta fix the command a bit more. I'm a bit intrigued. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BackDoorBreach Posted August 1, 2019 Share Posted August 1, 2019 I hope he stays up the rest of the season. I don't care if he's awful they have to get a longer look. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tomtom Posted August 1, 2019 Share Posted August 1, 2019 Someone please explain to me why .140 hitting Reed if in the freaking cleanup spot! He shouldn’t be Ben be in the lineup. Such an obvious tanking job by the Sox. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is it awful that they used the 8th overall pick on a reliever or do I just overvalue 1st round picks in baseball?

wegner Posted August 1, 2019 Author Share Posted August 1, 2019 Thanks Jack. I still have hope that he will be a useful bullpen piece when we are ready to compete. Not the starter we were hoping from a 1st round pick but you have to have a lockdown bullpen to compete this days. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They gotta give him at least the rest of this season and until Memorial Day 2020 if he's throwing this type of stuff. They might have a setup man here. He definitely deserves a look over guys like Ruiz and Osich. Edited August 1, 2019 by Jack Parkman Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If he becomes a solid reliever, that is a lot better than other first round picks who have failed and never even played in the MLB. Seriously, just look at any draft class over the past 15-20 years and you will say "who?" a lot. Edited August 1, 2019 by soxfan2014 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You've heard of them but probably haven't heard their name since they were drafted or top prospects for a couple of years.
