Are Yu excited?

inb4 Puig takes a fastball to the face

It must be tough for a pitcher to develop chemistry with a new catcher in just a few days.

Hopefully Darvish does alright though.

Fuck the Dodgers

>this was the franchise highlight of the Mets

LA Dodgers 5
NY Mets 2

Dodgers are pulling a Mets rotation in the minor leagues. Urias, Buehler, and White are basically the Harvey, Thor, DeGrom, and Matz. Urias is already injured, but extremely talented. Buehler and White are the next big pitching prospects coming through at the same time, but both have TJ surgery in their past.


I'm scared bros.

Don't worry doyerbro. Kershaw/Wood will continue to be an elite 1-2 punch for the next decade at least.

Hill and McCarthy are the only pitchers that might retire anytime soon.

Plenty of time to develop another deep stable of pitchers.

Remember me?

Doyerbros: what do we think the plan at 2B is?

Utley won't be around forever, and Forsythe isn't looking too good as a long-term solution. Now that Calhoun is gone, what do we think?
>Chris Taylor 2B full-time?
>Austin Barnes
>Wait for Gavin Lux?

Personally I'd like to have CT3 play 2B full time next season, as Toles may be the starting LF.

This is objectively a top 10 pitching matchup of the year, right? I'm excited to see how Darvish does in the NL

Definitely.

Yeah, evidently he's worried about hitting since he hasn't regularly done it, but excited for #FreeOuts

Hasn't he hit a home run? I might be misremembering.

And yeah I have a feeling his Dodgers ERA is going to be a lot lower than his Rangers ERA this season. Having Grandal instead of Lucroy, playing in a pitcher's park, no DH, etc.

Hello bros. I am a Brewers fan so I don't like the Dodgers but I want Darvish to do well. This is a hard feel.

Why don't you like the Dodgers? I'm a Doyerfag and the BrewCrew has always been my favorite team in the Central.

Well I don't hate the Dodgers just they're also an NL team so I can't cheer for them I think.

no you got that right but doesn't mean you can't cheer for a player's success

>Can't cheer for another NL team.

Bro, we should be united against the Arcade League nancy-boys. They are the real enemy.

ayyo

Where is the crowd?

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH

THIS ISN'T 2015 FAGGOTS

Still getting off the subway

degrom
yu are not ready

Pitcher getting played like a fiddle in the 1st. This is gonna be a slaughter isn't it?

I'm originally from Hyogo prefecture but I live in Tokyo.

good pitch, but I'm surprised he missed it. location was bad

If they can give us what Lincecum gave the jints it will be great as Kersh would still be in his prime.

>this pitch count

>lege

deGrom is my favorite mets pitcher.

If it was Harvey, I'd hope for the Doyers to light him the fuck up. But hopefully the boys in blue are kind to Jacob and only score a few.

KK

that could have been a LOT worse

When will the Barves or Marlins be good?

I'm sick of the NL East being NatsWinLol or MetsWinLol

if dublescomplete game shut out
if tripless no hitter

>31 pitches

YUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU

My body is ready.

If you don't get to the ace early, you're fucked.
Rest in pieces doyers.

"Welcome to the NL"

...

>DOYERS GAVE UP THEIR FARM FOR THIS

jk it's just a base hit

Why does it look like the Mets colors are the Dodgers and giants combined?

because they are

...

Because that's literally what they are. It was a marketing thing.

because the Mets replaced the Giants and Dodgers when they left for Cali.

The coloring was intentional.

As well as the colours of the flag of NYC

Because that's exactly what it is.

save me jay

wew that curve is dirty

Save me jay

Dat curve

How is Darvish in the playoffs?

that lewd bellinger ass wiggle

why does he taunt us so

BBruce

he does well enough but never gets support

look at his stats per game

Not good.

0-2 in 2 starts.

But remember, it was with the >rags

Our worst hitter is up now.

>beachball in citi field
dodger fans have officially arrived

inb4 DP

>le long pop-up man

Grandal ain't ready for Yu's curve.

we run this shit

why is yu just throwing fastballs and curves where is that elite slider

does Mest Park usually get that loud for lazy fly balls?

always forget Terry managed in Japan

NANI?

I think Darvish and Grandal are having some trouble together. But it's just their first game.

Nice

holy fucking shit. yu is a ninja.

>dat catch

ELITE FIELDING

anyone got a stream for this directv subscriber

>6'4"
he's a big guy

grandal has a small patch of notes in japanese and english that he uses to kenta

took him a few innings to fully get comfortable with kenta most likely the same growing pains here

Future Met
