Scully, look at this.
Yes, Mulder, I saw it. Jacob would like an extra day between starts.
Scully, don’t be so gullible.
Mulder, Rojas said “Jake this time wanted the extra day, and it keeps Lucchesi in line too. So it just worked out well.”
You think the Mets care about Joey Luchchesi, Scully?
Mulder, the Mets care about deGrom, and if wants an extra day he should get one.
Scully, how long have you been watching baseball?
Since the 80’s.
Well Scully, I have been watching since 1977 and I cannot think of one single instance of a pitcher ASKING for an extra day.
Well…now that you say that….
And Scully, if the truth is that deGrom ASKED for a day, why was the initial story that the Mets were holding him back on purpose to face the division rival Nationals
Mulder, you know the Mets often don’t have their story straight
EXACTLY Scully. They don’t have their story straight.
What do YOU think Mulder?
What do I think Scully? I think someone let deGrom pitch in 30 degree weather. I think someone let deGrom throw 100 miles an hour all spring.
But he’s been great Mulder. The weather didn’t bother him, he struck out 14. And you sounded like a crazy person worrying about the 100 mph all Spring. He’s fine Mulder.
And Santana was fine after throwing 134 pitches…he was great in that next start, and was fine….until someone stepped on his foot. It was Santana’s foot that ended his career, right Scully. The truth is out there Scully. Unfortunately, unless we can get Adam Rubin to come back. the existing version of the Mets beat isn’t likely to figure this one out. They accept whatever version of the truth the Mets feed them, even if the two versions don’t reconcile. The truth is out there Scully.
