New York Mets 2012 Banter

Mets drop last nights game, and the series, to the Yankees 6-5. I'm proud of the way they fought back after being down 5-1 though. Damn bullpen blows another one. Why in the hell would Collins leave Batista in for two innings???

I didn't get it either!
If you get a scoreless inning out of Batista in a tie game, you can't tempt fate, you have to get him out of there.
I know the pen was in disarray with Francisco out, but doesn't Collins remember The last time he faced Cano?
I'm not sure that ball from Friday has landed yet!

That's what kills me about baseball today. It just doesn't seem right to have a pitcher who can't be left in for more than one inning. Taking a pitcher out after an inning for strategy, or even one batter, yeah I get that. But because the guy can't hack it for more than three or four batters? Meh.

But that's just me, a grumpy old fart at the end of a long tough day.
