Is it too early to say Taylor Jordan for Cy Young?

I used to listen to the Mets's pitchers dad and uncles back in the 70s. They had a rock group - the Bees.

Making your debut in NY in a day game. Talk about being thrown to the wolves

The only question is whether he'll pitch a perfect game or have to settle for the no-no.

There will probably be more people at his last Harrisburg start than at Citi Field today.

Taylor Jordan RHP MLB debut
2013 A-AA
W-L 9-1
ERA 1.00
WHIP 0.92
SO 72
IP 90.1

I wondered why they didn't start Ross Ohlendorf after he did so well. Rizzo must have concluded that Taylor Jordan might be For Real, which may affect whether Rizzo makes a trade to replace Dan Haren.

If they let awful ass Gee own us again I will vomit. He got rocked in his last start. Should be like facing Jason Bergmann after facing Harvey.

Why do Mets pitchers use all their pitches early? They don't save anything

Matugi · « **Reply #11 on:** June 29, 2013, 01:16:26 pm »

OF COURSE

mimontero88 · « **Reply #12 on:** June 29, 2013, 01:16:47 pm »

Damn... Zimmerman walks to the plate if that stays in play.

freak our luck man. Jeez

C'mon Werth...

Matugi · « **Reply #15 on:** June 29, 2013, 01:20:29 pm »

god if that stupid freaking ball would have just stayed in the park

mimontero88 · « **Reply #16 on:** June 29, 2013, 01:20:42 pm »

Stupid ground rule double

sportsfan882 · « **Reply #17 on:** June 29, 2013, 01:21:16 pm »

Werth always chases that pitch. He can't stay back. Bum.

Slateman · « **Reply #18 on:** June 29, 2013, 01:21:22 pm »

Not the worst first inning. Got him up to 20 pitches. We need to keep getting in to the Mets bullpen

sportsfan882 · « **Reply #19 on:** June 29, 2013, 01:22:07 pm »

We need runs to support Taylor. Can't expect him to be perfect today

Mathguy · « **Reply #20 on:** June 29, 2013, 01:23:13 pm »

Is it my imagination or did Werth swing at 7 pitches significantly out of the strike zone ? A walk would have been fine

Unfortunately a guy making his first start isn't going to get that inside call.

Charlie said Taylor Jordan was giving LaRoche a pat on the back rather than vice versa at the start of the inning.

Oh Rizzo... that shirt is just so embarrassing.
