With the New York Mets calling up Wilmer Flores and toying with the idea of replacing Jenrry Mejia in the rotation, the team is certainly trying to mix things up and give the team an added boost. Will there be any other moves? Who's jobs are safe? One such player who has to start pulling [...]
There’s no need to sugar coat it, this last road trip by the Mets was a brutal one. Coors field as per usual served as a buzz saw for the Mets pitchers as they relinquished 28 runs in the first three games before salvaging the final one of the series. Miami was no respite for [...]
