Is Nimmo better than Pillar? When Nimmo is hot, he's on base nonstop but he can't stay on the field and Pillar comes back quicker after having his face smashed in.

When he's healthy, the answer is yes. With him hitting free agency after the 2022 season, the health issues are definitely going to factor into whether or not he stays beyond that point.

Definitely, even in only 21 games Nimmo has 0.9 WAR compared to 0.2 for Pillar. The biggest difference is the .430 OBP where Pillar is at .282

lol, I quickly saw your avatar and thought I had double-posted.
 
I don’t remember the last time I went from elated to deflated so quickly.

Gotta figure he’s gonna be out for a while again.

We can’t have nice things.

Yeah. This doesn’t sound good.

Do they trade off some of the depth for someone considering Thor isn’t an option anytime soon and Carrasco can’t be counted on? They’re a Stroman injury from being Taj Walker, Peterson and Gselman 1-2-3. Hate to whiz away the good start and lead.
 
When was the last time we were 10 games over .500? The World Series year?

The deGrom stuff is so worrisome, and I just don't want to think about the fact that the pitching has been so dominant yet could fall apart at any moment.

The bullpen has been a strength, which is a huge step up from the past few years.

Finished the 2019 season 86-76
 
We were? Genuinely don't remember that.. My brain is a pile of mashed potatoes.

I'm ready for the regular bats to come back, this offense has been brutal to watch outside of Lindor's explosion yesterday
 
We also have a lot of games in a short period of time coming. Not sure how these Lucchesi/Gselman patchwork starts can hold up much longer.

And Lucchesi is on the IL now, so it's somehow going to be starts from someone worse
 
This post alone is probably enough to ensure that it will never happen for a Met, but if--in theory--a pitcher pitches a perfect game during one half of a 7-inning double-header, does that count as a perfect game, or would there be an asterisk?

Asterisk. Bumgarner had a no-hitter in a 7 inning game earlier this year that doesn't count as a no-hitter. Personally I think it's dumb since he'd still gets credit officially for a shutout and a complete game, but the no hitter/perfect game doesn't count
 
I'm leaving work early to make sure I can see the first pitch tonight. No idea what to expect. Anything from a first inning exit because he sneezed wrong to a complete game and shutout.

I expect 7 IP, 2 H, 0 BB and 11K. O ER, obviously.

I can’t believe he walked 2.

Me neither. And then I got pissed that he was pulled after only 70 pitches. He’s either hurt or he’s not. If he’s not hurt there‘s no reason not to have him at least go back for the sixth. His expectation of perfection—and ours—is absurd.

deGrom stat of the day.....

Pitchers are batting .112 so far this year.
The league is batting .113 against deGrom so far this year.

Basically, it's like an "average" pitcher facing 9 pitchers in the lineup each game.
