Tom Brennan - Perspective


The Injured Scott has Fewer Wins than the Injured Senga

The Mets scored 8 and allowed 4 in an 8-4 win Friday night.

Megill the next day retires the first 11, then hangs two sliders to Ozuna and Olsen. HR elites hit those for HRs.

Fans want to crucify Megill. 

But had the Mets scored 8 runs for him, no one would be complaining.

However, you cannot hang weak sliders in the strike zone to those guys.

So, forget yesterday, unburden yourselves, win today. Because today is today, OK?

Senga, naturally, will miss the rest of the regular season.  But like some will “always have Paris”, we will always have those 5.1 precious innings of Senga.

His win does, however, give him one more win than Blake Snell has this year. Senga: one start, one win. Snell, 10 starts, no wins.

JD Martinez and Vientos, superstars on Friday night, were 0-7 with 7 Ks on Saturday. Megill had a better day than either. That is baseball for ya.

WINKER, STANEK

Winker for Stuart, Stanek for Thomas. 

Thank you, David Stearns.  The Price is Right.

Thank goodness.

Hooray on DJS other good news we save 17.5 million on JV and Senga probably won't make his innings to opt out so we have him till 27 I believe.

Tom Brennan said...

Gary, you are correct. Senga, though, has 2 calves, so that is a future lower leg risk right there :)

Mets hitting has gone MIA. Can’t blame Stewart any more.

Losing sucks, especially when hitting dries up.

The title of this piece is "The Price is Right". Winker had better bring some special value to this club because I really believed in Tyler Stuart. He had a down first half of this year, which was his first pro adversity, but he had shown a lot before and was getting back on track in the 2nd half of this year. He is a powerful pitcher with a five pitch mix, and my guess is that he is going to be very good some day. Maybe we can get him back in a future move.

Paul, I wish the best for Stuart. But the Mets let him go, and not Vasil or Hamel. I wonder if they were happy about that, or the Nats wanted Stuart only, of the three/

Vasil and Hamel both had success at AAA, and very struggling performances at AAA, where Stuart has yet to pitch.
