Link: Fifth Starter, the Bell, 2-3, Shea
In a post to Mets Today, Joe Janish cites a variety of picthers, such as Chan Ho Park to Dave Williams, as to why he is so panicked about the Mets fifth starter spot.
…i hear you, joe…my only request is that you go back and look at the fifth starter for other teams who have been successful…for instance, in 2006, when the Cardinals won the World Series, they got regular-season starts from Chris Narveson, Sydney Ponson and Jeff Weaver, who was 5–4 with a 5.18 ERA…
At Always Amazin, Matt Artus believes today is the day the Mets must wake up and answer the bell after having started this season with a 2–3 record.
…i don’t know about today, specifically, matt, but they would be wise not to lose this series against the Phillies…
Speaking of 2–3, Mets Walk-offs takes a look back at past 2–3 starts, specifically 1968, as well as 1986, when the Mets beat the Phillies in the sixth game of the season to get back to .500.
