Go with Brandon Knight. The reason why I say this is because he was able to get through 5 with 2 ER last night. He’s been out there a couple times now.

If it rains tomorrow though or a helpful rain day gets squeezed in there, you go right to Pelfrey on Friday. And than unfortunately probably Pedro Saturday. I’d still prefer Figgy or Knight over him. We need Stokes in the pen and his arm may not be in condition to handle a start.

Sorry about that…I was thinking about the Brewers when I said that.

Niese’s two bad outings have been against the Brewers and the Cubs.

Both of those teams mash lefties.

Niese seems to lose it all at once, so I’d have a short leash.

Man, I was going to make a joke like this expect to delay Saturday’s game even if it wasn’t raining because I might not be able to watch it.

You’re on fire FlightFromHouston.

Should have said: “The Marlins are hitting .236 vs. lefties, the 3rd worst team in the majors.”

IOW, their BA vs. lefties is just 28th.

Whoever starts, they need a very short leash. At least the Marlins are out of it now. If they were still in it, they’d be a lot more feisty.

don’t you love when people just say things without checking? :)
The marlins are pretty bad against lefties…yes it makes no sense being they are mainly right handed bats…

all this talk about games in the future today are really bothering me.

all these plans change if they don’t win today, which is why they MUST win today

Let’s think about today before we think about tomorrow.

Let’s Go Mets!
