Dion likely to follow Lord as Lord gets stretched out as a starter.

Line up loaded with RHH vs Manaea, with Crews, Chappy, and House at the top.

The Abrams to 2B switch deferred another day.

Mets go mostly with LHH, spreading their RHH around at ##3, 6 & 9.

Manaea a 9 K/9, 3:1 K:BB, FIP=ERA guy, with 38.4 GB%.

Lord is a big GB pitcher (57.6%), with slightly lower K/9 and a high HR/FB (15.2%). FIP similar to Manaea.

Time for Simon to go out and remind Lord of the dimensions of the strike zone.

Slateman · « **Reply #6 on:** August 15, 2026, 04:35:08 pm »

Now we're going to burn out the bullpen because they refuse to get rid of Kranick or Bird and get an actual starting pitcher

Take this motherfreaker out!

JCA-CrystalCity · « **Reply #8 on:** August 15, 2026, 04:38:51 pm »

44 pitches, 21 strikes.

Chappy

maybe Lord should just be a 2-3 inning good reliever, would be more valuable than a crap 5th starter anyway.

How far did JY have to go for that?

JCA-CrystalCity · « **Reply #18 on:** August 15, 2026, 05:37:47 pm »

Too bad Young is in the same league as PCA because he'll lose out on a lot of golden gloves that way

varoadking · « **Reply #19 on:** August 15, 2026, 05:40:18 pm »

I think the best thing Young has done for the franchise it prove that Crews isn't a center fielder...

Can the bullpen navigate 4 innings successfully?
