So much for that. The wind giveth and the wind taketh away. Of course, Mejia shouldn't even be on the ML team, but that's another issue.
20 appearences in 31 games. That's impressive. He should be blown out by mid July. What is he on pace for? 110 games this year?
So he should be fired tonight, and then be rehired and fired a second time for having Pagan bunt just now.
And if this game goes extra innings, we don't have Blanco anymore. Jerry putting on a bad managerial clinic right now.
Manuel bunts with the leadoff hitter, wastes a pinch hitting catcher, in favor of the guy hitting .174. It would be unbelievable, if it wasn't so predictable.
It just dawned on me that Jerry essentially took the bat out out of Angel Pagan's hands so he could waste Blanco and then put the bat in Catalanatto's hands.
Yep, that's basically what I just said. And, of course, the brilliant decision to have Reyes bat 3rd in the lineup also worked out well in that inning.
And Reyes strikes out too. So it'll be Bay-Wright-Davis to save us, unless Manuel has something else up his sleeve.
Bay with another wind-blown gift! So, Jerry is going to have Wright bunt, right? (just kidding, I think)
What a pathetic strike call. And guess what, thanks to moron Manuel, the Mets have no one to put in the field if they actually tie this game.
If this game goes to extras, we're officially screwed, considering the state of the bullpen and our bench, with Wright getting ejected. He was right about the call, but not smart by him.
