So I read Wilmer Flores might be heading to the DL. Last night he gets banged up – the manager leaves him in.
David Wright grabs his hamstring at second. The manager leaves him in.
There’s supposedly an innings limit of Matt Harvey. 9 innings last week – there was no reason to pitch the 9th up five. Harvey took a ball off the knee.
8 innings in a close game on July 26th.
7 innings with an early 5-0 the start before that.
What’s the innings limit? He can’t pitch the 11th?
Terry has to know this is his last chance as a manager. He won’t get another shot. I don’t blame him for wanting to stay. Maybe he should stay. Or Maybe he should go. But Sandy should tell him now so that the future is in safe hands.
Maybe 82 wins saves Terry. Maybe 79 does. 74 probably won’t. (They are on pace to win 75 which is one more than last year. Progress.)
Do you want amanager who is trying to squeeze every win out of a team that is 11 back of the wild card. What exactly is the plan if they make the playoffs? Do Harvey and Wheeler get to pitch? Does Carlos Torres pitch Game One? Does Wright rush back from a hamstring?
If Terry is coming back that’s fine. Let him know so he can say things like “I took Wright out to be safe.” “I took Matt out to be safe.” Don’t try to squeeze this roster Terry, you don’t have the horses and you know it. Sandy knows it too. Decide and think long term fellas.
