Playing Experience
“So whaddya think?”
“Whaddya mean? What do I think?”
“Whaddya think will be the Mets’ starting
five this year?”
“Lemme see. You got Syndergaard and deGrom.”
“Yeah.”
“Then the guy who’s pitching very well so far
is Gsellman.”
“Okay, that’s three.”
“Harvey got movement back on his fastball.
He’ll start out a bit off for the first two or three starts, but he’ll settle
in to be screaming.”
“You’re up to four. You think Lugo’ll be
number five?”
“No, I think he’s going to the bullpen.”
“So who’s your number five?”
“You can’t put Wheeler there all the way
through. He’s got an inning limit.”
“But it looks like Matz has a little injury.”
“That’s where I got my idea. Matz is in and
out with a bunch of dingers. So number five is combination of Matz when he’s
healthy and Wheeler when he’s not.”
“How do you handle that? Two guys on the same
roster spot?”
“I work out the broad strokes. You’re my
detail guy. You figure that out.”
“Oh, good!”
“While you’re at it, figure out where my next
drink is coming from.”
Whenever Richard Herr isn’t solving all the
Mets’ problems, he spends his time writing humorous science fiction novels.

It is a conundrum wrapped in a cannoli. As for me, I'll take one of each, please.
I thought we were passing the cannoli?
