From Mets Police June 3rd….commenting on Santana’s May 27th start. I’m bad at math but Johan is something like 6-9 since then. Against the Nationals Santana had a long inning where he really labored….
Last week in the promenade a friend and I argued about whether or not Santana should have come out after a 41 pitch inning, especially when immediately followed by a short time at bat for the Mets.
Last night I was in the car and Howie and Wayne were telling me Santana’s velocity was down. Metsblog tells me he retired the first 10 and then 8 of the next 12 hitters got on. I hope Jerry didn’t manage one game at the cost of a season
Let’s keep an eye on this one. I know the lineup isn’t awesome, but that doesn’t take mph off your pitches.
