New York Mets Podcast #64![]() |
Great Podcast Rob... In
Great Podcast Rob... In regards to your pitching comment.. I agree with you that we need to shore up our pen.. I'm thinking Brad Lidge, Gagne or Otsuka to set up Wagner
But also what do you see happening to the rotation once Pedro comes back? I know what I'd like to see and please don't stone me for it... I'd like to see Pedro back in the rotation and El Duque in the Pen.. my reasons are this.. 1) He's old.. 2) with his many arm slots he'd be hard to hit comming out of the pen.. 3)He's done it before in the playoffs and had great success from the pen... 4)His injury problem, by limiting his number of innings via relief appearences we can keep him healthy for the postseason run 5) Sosa, Perez and Maine have all out pitched him so far
I just don't want to see our young pitchers moved out of the rotation because lately they have been our only pitching spark and we need to reward them for that
Thanks Ron. I can hardly
Thanks Ron. I can hardly think about Pedro at this point.
By the time we can get Pedro back who knows what shape El Duque will be in regardless. If the opportunity arises it would be smart for Willie to back off on Hernandez' innings late in the season.
My gut tells me that if anybody gets pushed that it will be Sosa. But it really all depends on where the rotation is at (and where the Mets are in the standings) on September 1st.
I know now that before anything happens this team needs to get back on track. Hopefully the latest win can start a hot streak.
