Love the Pod guys. Always great! Mentioning the homegrown line up you missed Alvarez behind the dish. I’d also say the competition with Megil& Petersen is ovah. I concur Megil needs to go to the pen and just about no MLB team gives him this much rope. I also agree Montas is guaranteed dick. His rehab has me far from inspired as he’s getting shelled in single A. Can’t recall his last start Mebbe it was AAA but he got lit the fuck up. I gotta say for the guys who are trying to get here it has to be demoralizing to see this guy who has a guaranteed contract and can’t get out minor leaguers while they can’t get a sniff of the bigs. Montas also has an opt out which he may not choose so we could be stuck with him next year too. I just think he can’t pitch in NY. When Manaea gets back this rotation is formidable. Senga,Holmes,Manaea,
Petersen,Blackburn/Canning? I almost lean to Petersen,Manaea,& Senga though as Holmes is already at the most innings he has pitched in a season and it bodes keeping an eye on how full his tank stays as the season wears on. Manaea got worn down last year too so getting him mid season should guarantee he won’t be shot when the Mets need him most. Mauricio needs more time on the farm. I hope this team can dig the Braves grave even deeper with the upcoming series’s. Taking 5 from 7 would be such sweet sweet payback. Vientos had JD last year and it’s showing how much he misses him this year. Mets should bring him in for a special assistant as he’s not playing yet.
