EmirOfShmo Posted April 2, 2022 Share Posted April 2, 2022 With Jacob deGrom sidelined for a while, the natural move for the New York Mets would be to make Max Scherzer the Opening Day starting pitcher. In an ideal world, that’s what would happen. In this world, though, that’s not official — and we now know why. Shortly after the extent of deGrom’s injury became public, New York manager Buck Showalter stopped short of declaring Scherzer as the Opening Day starter. So, what gives? As it turns out, Scherzer is dealing with an injury of his own. Speaking on the Carton & Roberts show on WFAN, host Evan Roberts said that a source within the organization has told him that Scherzer is dealing with a hamstring injury. https://thecomeback.com/mlb/max-scherzer-injury-reports-reaction-mets.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Renegade7 Posted April 4, 2022 Share Posted April 4, 2022 Is it confirmed if Stras is now starting Friday? ESPN shows Corbin as starting opening day, with Max now being scratched. I'm tempted to jus stand pat versus going through the hellaish stubhub process of refunding so I can go to opening day instead. If Stras is not playing Friday (which is what it looks like), I'm not sure what I'm walking into, miss baseball, but could be walking into an unrecognizable ass kicking. What a mess to start this season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What a mess to start this season. I don’t think Strasburg has been on track for opening day at all this spring training. He’s slowly ramping back up and has started throwing live bullpen, but the reports a couple weeks ago were that he was “weeks” behind and they’re trying to get like 20 starts out of him this year. Would put him on track to join the rotation mid May-June ish. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Renegade7 Posted April 4, 2022 Share Posted April 4, 2022 Ugh, goddammit. I'm about to Griffin'd all over again by Max. Dude is never going to be healthy by time it's his turn to start in DC. And of course stubhub couldn't give me a refund. So I'll be there Friday, Box 126, pm me if you going, too, and want to shoot the ****. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Riggo#44 Posted April 5, 2022 Author Share Posted April 5, 2022 Current Baseball America Mock: 5. Nationals — Elijah Green, OF, IMG Academy, Bradenton, Fla. Scout’s Take: Green is by far the most athletic player in this draft and no one else is even close. He's struggled at times in the showcase format. However, in meaningful game competition he has excelled. He has the tools and skill to be the most dominant player out of this draft. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
