However, take Tuesday night's game when the manager decided it was wise to bench three regulars in support of the young pitcher. Once again Collins set a young player up to fail with three .100 hitters to support him.

There are times, in fact, when they need support, consistency, and a steady hand. It's a marathon, and you can't overreact to small sample sizes. The strength of the Mets lineup is its length. Losing Wright and d'Arnaud was a real blow to that. I wouldn't wish the 8th spot on any hitter; fortunately, this team, when healthy, doesn't really have a good candidate. Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
