That's gotta be one of the craziest things I've ever read that pertains to the Mets. The dude's a scrub. A 74 career OPS+ score and you think he's going to get it together? He's been league average once!! Church going on the DL to get Endy playing time is like using dental floss to climb Mt Everest and wondering why you're not getting anywhere. It's not 2006 anymore. Cut his *** and bring in someone that hits above their weight. I think I must be going blind, ’cause I’d swear I just read something about Endy getting some playing time to get it together.

Burkhardt mentioned before the game that Church was unable to be interviewed because he was feeling so poorly. Why the he!! was he pinch-hitting with nobody on base down 7-3? Desperate times call for desperate measures, especially when your job may be on the line! I agree with you.

Also, once you get one concussion, you often become susceptible to additional concussions in the future. But a big WTF goes to Willie and Omar for letting him pinch hit the last few days. WTF is wrong with them? They cannot back-date to DL if he continues to pinch hit. They are so inept. Often a concussion is not properly diagnosed, and also often symptoms don’t appear for 48 hours.

They are so inept.

I was trying to give a realistic opinion of Church's situation, but some of you feel it is better to sugar coat your posts. Sorry to say it looks like I was right. By the way Endy sucks.

The NHL has lost plenty of players to concussions and now takes them very seriously. NHL players suffering from post-concussion syndrome are not even allowed to get on a stationary bike until they are symptom-free. According to concussion specialists who have helped the league make their policies, any sort of physical activity can worsen or prolong the condition. So I ask, how in the world is this team letting Church participate in any baseball-related activities, let alone pinch-hit. It's insanity. This guy has been your only consistent performer and we're going to gamble with his health? Hopefully when Church meets with the Neurologist they'll just DL him and put an end to all this nonsense, because as usual, the Mets' own ineptitude is threatening to undo them.

Concussions are a weird animal, and at the outset it seemed like he was going to be out only a 1 or 2 days. But obviously the trip to Colorado did something to him. Only problem is that they can't retroactive his DL stint since he was been pinch hitting. You can’t blame Omar for Church not being DL’d.
