Memo to everyone. Remain calm.
I know as a Mets fan it’s fun to hit the panic button.
I know the Mets can be mecurial (they will after all be moving there in 2023, I’ve seen the uniforms).
Elbows are scary.
Here is what Santana himself says:
“You know what, we’re in this thing together and have to take care of everything. I appreciate everything he [Warthen] is doing. He’s trying to protect me and the team. But as of right now my mindset is Opening Day.”
So the Mets want to protect the guy’s arm. That’s a good thing. See Ryan Church, concussion, 2008.
So Santana might not pitch until the 5th game. Big deal.
Santana hasn’t given up on the opener. Maybe he’ll only be able to pitch 6 innings since he’ll be a spring start short. Maybe the Mets will be winning 22 to 1 after six and it won’t matter.
Turn off the radio and remain calm.
Put on YES. The Yankees trail six-nothing in the 2nd in a Yankee Classic. I wonder who wins.
