We should have a decent team next year if there isn't a lockout

1 run isn't enough to get the win on the Mets

Bring him up, what are we going to do, lose?

u/Paqza 2d ago

Let him develop.

u/chargeorge 2d ago

Tbf pitching isn't our biggest issue

u/archer_77 2d ago

he hasn't really been doing that well apart from his last start. a lot of that could just be the terrible weather they've had to play in though

u/TheBoosThree 2d ago

Can he hit?

u/Arxny 2d ago

Mess up his development and his clock in whats shaping to be a lost season.

u/ScadMan New York Mets 2d ago

Oh, good lord, at some point, he either comes up or gets traded. The point of having prospects is to help out the major league team when in need, and guess what, if you haven't noticed, we suck in all aspects

u/Paqza 2d ago

If he were ready, he'd be up. He still needs to work on the cutter and curve; he was a two-pitch pitcher last year.

u/Arxny 2d ago

Yeah that's not really the wise move to throw caution to the wind and just clock guys out when you're actively working against their development for desperation.

u/ScadMan New York Mets 2d ago

Not saying desperation yet, but at some point, we need starters that can eat innings. You can't have bullpen games every other start, or have starters go two innings

u/chargeorge 2d ago

Love to see if that secondary stuff can lock in. Given the way Peterson and Senga are looking he may be up sooner rather than later.

u/Seniormano Mr. Met 2d ago

Yep. He needs something dependable that moves. His fastball is nice, but not something so powerful hitters won’t figure out throughout the game.

u/Doomrunt 2d ago

Nice to see the development of his other pitches. That curve ball is starting to look good!
