RutgersJetFan Posted September 7, 2015 Share Posted September 7, 2015 Aaaaaand a grand slam. Nice job shuffling around the rotation so that a guy who had given up 18 ER in his last 3 starts was leading off the most important series of the year and maybe the most important Mets series in almost a decade. Brilliant move on that one Terry. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scott Dierking Posted September 7, 2015 Share Posted September 7, 2015 This is faaaaaantastic. Mets Fan Chronicles Almost Every Bonehead Decision Terry Collins Has Made This Season On Twitter Before this season, I was one of the biggest detractors of Collins. Truth is, to this the first week in September, he is the NL Manager of the year. We will see if he holds that. If he does not make playoffs this year, he is gone. As he should be.

He's been doing that move since they got Cespedes and it's always worked out well. It's a double win because you get Lagares' range and Cespedes' arm along the line. I'm a fan of it.

GimmeShelter Posted September 7, 2015 Share Posted September 7, 2015 All 3 home runs today were by players who weren't with the team before the break. Including Kelly Johnson. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GimmeShelter Posted September 7, 2015 Share Posted September 7, 2015 This was a big win as although the Mets were up 4 games heading into today momentum felt like it had swung to the NATS with all the Harvey stuff and Wright leaving a small village on base against the Marlins. Robles was money and Cespedes continues to be off the charts. What's great about this team is EVERYONE chips in...Conforto, Johnson, Flores....hell even Tejada is now looking like a SS we can live with. Agree with Rutgers in that a loss today may have been the start of a downward spiral for the team. It just had that feel to it. I too think Collins should have "tried to" set the rotation up with an eye towards this series so that Niese was not involved but hard to do with the skipping starts here and there as well as the Natz injury. If Harvey and deGrom do their jobs the next two nights the Mets should be in good shape. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe Uribe comes through in that spot too, but Wright is the one who led the charge today and he was the most vocal person in the locker room about not letting this Harvey bullsh*t distract the team, which it clearly was this week.

faba Posted September 8, 2015 Share Posted September 8, 2015 Email Print Comment WASHINGTON -- The New York Mets promoted right-hander Logan Verrett, infielder Dilson Herrera and catcher Johnny Monell after Triple-A Las Vegas' season ended Monday. That will bring the total to 37 players in the major league clubhouse. Perhaps more notable was who did not get summoned. Right-hander Dillon Gee, who went 8-3 with a 4.58 ERA in 14 starts with Las Vegas after clearing waivers and getting demoted, was not invited to return. Gee has the right to declare free agency after the regular season, well before he would be non-tendered by the Mets on Dec. 2 anyway. Also passed over is reliever Vic Black, who once was projected to be a key cog out of the bullpen. Black cleared waivers and was removed from the 40-man roster last week. He will be a minor league free agent after the season unless the Mets unexpectedly reverse course and return him to the 40-man roster soon. Black posted a 7.09 ERA and had 26 walks (one intentional) in 26 2/3 innings with Las Vegas. Verrett should be a key figure for the Mets in September. General manager Sandy Alderson confirmed Monday that the Mets will use a six-man rotation down the stretch even with Matt Harvey unavailable. So Verrett should get multiple starts. In two starts in September since getting sent to Las Vegas, Verrett allowed 12 runs on 19 hits and two walks in 11 2/3 innings. Herrera hit .327 with 11 homers and 50 RBIs in 327 at-bats with Las Vegas. Monell's call-up was curious only because it gives the Mets four catchers. The only players on the 40-man roster who did not get called up were right-handers Gabriel Ynoa and Akeel Morris and outfielder Darrell Ceciliani.

Scott Dierking Posted September 8, 2015 Share Posted September 8, 2015 LOL. Serious question; Do we replace him in the rotation? With who? Verrett? You ride it out.

Scott Dierking Posted September 8, 2015 Share Posted September 8, 2015 He can't keep having 5 run innings. The Mets are supposedly also going to be utilizing a 6 man rotation, even in weeks that Harvey does not pitch. So, they need 7 active starters available. Tough way to run a pennant race.

RutgersJetFan Posted September 8, 2015 Share Posted September 8, 2015 LOL. Serious question; Do we replace him in the rotation? With who? Verrett? I think if it were earlier in the season, probably. But he's got 4-5 starts left, so you just sit back and hope that he nails 2 or 3 of them, keep Verrett ready to go on days he pitches, and then move him to the pen for the playoffs. End of the day he's their 5th pitcher, there aren't too many teams with a 5 that aren't going to give up at least 3-4 runs per. But he's been so abysmal his last four starts, not a good feeling at all. If he has another one I think you have to consider giving Matz his spot and under no circumstances should he be pitching against the Nats. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RutgersJetFan Posted September 8, 2015 Share Posted September 8, 2015 Expect to see Verrett making starts to make a six man rotation to limit innings and not replace Niese We'll see. Problem is there's a lot of baseball left. The Mets have to prioritize making the playoffs, not preserving pitching for them. The latter is certainly important but the team has not had a good start to September and you can't keep trotting out a guy with over a 10 ERA in his last 4 if it continues. You just can't.

WTF does he know about stressful innings versus non strenuous innings.... actual pitch counts versus innings etc??? Boras and Harvey are just using his name to back their stance on the matter. The major gripe by fans and management was where was all this when Harvey was griping about being skipped or not allowed to finish games all season until now?
