IGT 05/01 - Braves at Mets - Let's Play Two

[kcmets]

Too early for details, stay tuned...

The Mets get an extra player for the doubleheader which will bring them to the normal number of 26 rather than 27 because MLB feels that the team is complicit when a pitcher is suspended after Phil Cuzzi has determined that there is too much rosin (these will be the last two games of Max's 10-game suspension). With Megill and Butto the likely starters perhaps Peterson will return (if he ever left) to give the Mets a left-handed reliever.

[Gwreck]

I think it’s pretty unlikely they use Peterson as a reliever. Obviously his struggles are pretty frustrating but there’s a lot more potential there as a starter, as evidenced by his contributions last year. Better to have him sort it out in AAA since they’ll need him again this year.

[Edgy MD]

Peterson may have a future as a reliever in the near-term, if only because the rotation slots may otherwise fill up, while the lefthanded reliever chair is wide open.

[bmfc1]

No Butto for the Mets on Monday as he was sent back to SYR today.

[Tamora]

Just like to say hello to everyone as a new member and this seemed like a good place to do it.


In regards to the Peterson discussion for relief on Monday. I’ve recently come back to baseball and noticed the Mets have a slightly unbalanced roster starting rotation and relief for lefty/righty match ups. Does Citi field benefit righties more or is it pretty even?

Reyes starts Game One, Megill Game Two.

CitiField doesn't particularly favor right-handers or lefties.
The R/L imbalance is more just a result of who's on the roster and/or available (not injured).
The team would certainly like more LHPs but so would just about all of them.

3-0 Braves, I hope this is not out of hand quickly

Reyes gets his one inning in. Good day and get lost. Lousy effort

Not a good start for Reyes or the Mets.

Can’t answer that one. I picked it after the orange rose As it fits the Mets colour scheme. Not the books.
