Is Brian Stokes the answer to the Mets bullpen troubles?

Fri, 15 Aug 2008 02:40:22 +1900

Last night, the Mets were taking it easy with John Maine . He only allowed one hit, but was removed after only giving up one hit after five strong inning. In came Brian Stokes , who made a spot start a few days ago for Maine, and he pitched four dominant innings in relief, even earning a save. Sure, it may have helped that the Mets were up by double digits, but Stokes was impressive. Through ...

Jerry Manuel Cares Not For Your Job Title

Tue, 12 Aug 2008 19:30:00 +1900

We've had lots of fun with the Mets bullpen here in recent weeks. Not as much fun as opposing batters have had, but we've had some chuckles nonetheless. Apparently tired of his relievers' frighteningly predictable ineptitude, tranny coach Jerry Manuel has decided to totally flip the script and start using starters in relief . "Well, I probably need to make some adjustments. Period. We ...

Mets Moves: Carlos Muniz down, John Maine returns

Wed, 13 Aug 2008 05:12:32 +1900

Carlos Muniz was optioned back to AAA New Orleans, as John Maine has been activated from the DL. Maine will start Wednesday against the Nationals. Muniz should stay down at triple-A, for a long time. He just doesn't seem to have it to pitch at the Major League level. He eats innings, but not effectively.

Bullpen shakeup in the works under Jerry Manuel

Tue, 12 Aug 2008 22:20:09 +1900

Looking at those three pitchers last ten games, my vote goes for Maine to move. He's been battling a shoulder issue, so decreased work would definitely help. He's only gotten into the seventh inning one times out of his last ten outings. He's also struggled through those same ten.

Behind Closed Doors

The Mets clubhouse here is at least 20 times (according to the clubhouse manager) as big as they one they had at RFK. Four TV's in the main room. The Yankee game was on earlier. Now the Olympics. Another one is running a feature on Brett Favre. Carlos Beltran is at a table drawing on a bat with a Magic Marker. David Wright just held court with us about visiting Walter Reed. Wright ...
