The other things of concern a) Reyes slow start, b) Wright's pilling up of K's in key situations and most of them looking! If atleast one of those two doesn't get it going soon, we are in for a long season!

But I would have to go with Roy Halladay!

Furthermore Figs would probably get the call anyway, and he is pitching well in AAA!

After I read it the third time it was more confusing than the first! Anyway it's good to see that Sheffield will not be replacing only Church, because Church does deserve better, especially with the way he's produced thus far!

I think this is definetly the right move, but I still don't see Sheffield displacing Murphy on an anywhere near permenant basis! Tue, 14 Apr 2009 17:20:28 +0000 http://www.metsblog.com/2009/04/14/quote-its-great-talking-to-a-pope/#IDComment18730452 http://www.metsblog.com/2009/04/14/quote-its-great-talking-to-a-pope/#IDComment18729876 FYI, .....per Adam Rubins blog, apparently Jerry has had a serious change of course! The plan now is to start Sheffield no earlier than Friday with Murphy and not Church sitting!

Atta boy JJ!

They have to A) get Sheffield some back to back AB's against MLB pitchers in a game situation so he can get his timing, otherwise he's going to be pretty much worthless as a PH! ...B) Sheffield has just recently gotten into outfield playing shape, the Mets certainly aren't going to put him in with Santana pitching, Yesterday was opening day so of course Church is going to start ( as he should). Not too mention that the Mets won't face a lefty for atleast a week and a half plus! I don't think it makes sense to wait that long to see what they have in Sheffield! Is it an optimum situtation for his first game? No, but you have to get him some meaningfull, consecutive at bats other wise they may as well have kept Anderson, because that's about how Sheff will be hitting without live practice!

U might try that.

That said, I totally agree with your (not panicing yet assesment!) It's only six games and who knows next time Johan is locked in a battle like that the other team will make the error! Point is the game could have gone either way with the pitching as it was!

What's with the follow feature I keep seeing?

And the email response thing, while a nice idea in theory I had to turn it off because everytime I turn it on it emails me EVERYTIME ANYONE POSTS ANYTHING ON THE PAGE WHETHER IT'S IN RESPONSE TO MY COMMENT OR NOT! So after 104 e-mails in a 4 hour span I had enough of the emailing feature! Matt I realy do love your blog and the work you put in it is appreciated, but this format simply has to go! I'm getting to the point of going back to the mets.com comments section, because quite frankly it's alot easier to navigate! I really hate to leave, because I do enjoy the banter and mostly well- thought out debates on here from some very knowledgeable Met fans, but when I start missing 2/3 of an inning on tv just trying to find my comment again(on a laptop right in front of me mind you) it's getting a little rediculous. I didn't even turn it on for last nights game because it was too much hassle! Please go back to the old format, or atleast shelve this format untill you can get ALL the bugs worked out! ............................Sincerely a metsblog fan Sun, 12 Apr 2009 14:38:50 +0000 http://www.metsblog.com/2009/04/11/post-game-mets-8-marlins-4/#IDComment18614623 http://www.metsblog.com/2009/04/11/post-game-mets-8-marlins-4/#IDComment18614616 I'm not one to complain, but this format in it's current state is by far the worst format I have ever seen on any blog period! The comments appear and disappear, it says there are many pages of comments, yet half the time it only shows you 2!
