to Morbs: pretty much. makes his MLB debut against the heart of the toughest offense in baseball. it does not go well. and he was still left in there maybe three to four batters after it was obvious this poor kid was seriously over matched.

The outcome seems to prove that he was not ready in every way.
I wonder when a first-place team last started the season 10-21 on the road.

xp the cliche is that the biggest gap between minor league levels is from high-a to double-a, but it seems more or less true. at the lower levels you can get by on sheer talent, but at a certain point you also need to have an 'approach', i.e. a more detailed plan than just throw hard or see ball/hit ball. triple-a veterans lack the tools, but they know what they're doing, and akeel morris has never consistently faced a lineup that knew what it was doing.
players at high-a just aren't that good. in 2012 the st. lucie mets were the best team in the florida state league; three years later the regulars who have gone on to the most success are daniel muno and wilmer flores (who was really young for that level then).
despite this being morris' sixth pro year (at age 22!), he's only thrown 248 innings. he's always been hard to hit, but only last year established decent command. his highest-level experience is this year in the fsl, which is the most pitcher-friendly minor league.
his stuff -- a low-to-mid-90s fastball and a good changeup -- is good enough to baffle low minor leaguers, but he can neither blow his fastball past the highest-scoring team in the majors nor fool it with his change.
the mets needed an arm and since he was headed north anyway (he's now at double-a binghamton) maybe they were all what the hell. and they were losing that game anyway iirc. but it seems a case of throwing a dude in the deep end well before he can swim, and we'll see how he bounces back.
there might be others, but the only dude i remember recently basically jumping straight from a-ball to the majors (albeit with an offseason inbetween) is jose fernandez.

Harvey better go the full 9, bcz i can't imagine the Metsies scoring before then.
i guess no one has ever directly explained the predictive worthlessness of "9-for-18" close & late SSS clutchiness to Keith. God i wish he would stfu about them.

The truth of the 2015 Mets probably lies somewhere north of the 68-win pace they’ve operated at since April 24, but I don’t see holding them to the standard of their record over slightly more than a third of the current season as somehow unfair. This is the team that’s going out and playing the games that count. In a parallel universe in which all variables are delightfully controlled, nobody vital has been injured, everybody worthwhile has been inked to sub-market contracts and distant potential has translated into immediately pleasing reality, the Mets are probably kicking Atlanta ass and taking Washington names.
In this one, they’ve scored 13 runs in their past 66 innings and looked like rank amateurs for the better part of a week.
