Position Players Pitching

followed by danny mendick

mercedes was throwing in the 70s-80s, mendick working exclusively in the 60s

gameday had the last mendick pitch at 39.6 mph

they're only six runs behind with two innings to go which seems a little early to wave the white flag

also they have 13 pitchers on the roster

they did play a double-header yesterday tbf

Rizzo struck out Freeman 😭

Marwin Gonzalez coming into a 16-4 affair against the jays.

(16 for the jays obviously)

Just had a 1-2-3 inning!

Arroyo in for the 9th now.

Had the game on the radio driving into Woodstock; heard Teoscar's second HR. Did that ever get out of hand...They really let Ryan Weber take a beating out there (11 runs in 5.2 innings). Guess they had no one left.

I felt seriously bad for the guy. I’m assuming he went in knowing he’d have to go long... but if you’re down to just one RP, why take your SP so early - I don’t think he was injured.

even more brutal is when he's DFA'd tomorrow

Nicky Lopez had a great Braves debut. 4 for 6, 3 runs, 5 RBI, and pitched a scoreless 9th. Danny Mendick gave up 8 ER in 1.1 IP for the Mets. Final score 21-3.

brandon crawford makes his pitching debut with two outs in the bottom of the 8th, gets his man

He’s pitched before!

Listening in the car so didn't see it, but Kyle Farmer pitched two innings in a blowout vs. the Jays. The radio guys said he was throwing 45 m.p.h., and not really even an Eephus pitch, more like a HR-Derby pitch. Gave up five hits, a walk, a HR, and three runs.

(Not a HR--there was some doubt, but ruled a triple.)
