Number Four

[Edgy MD]

If the Mets make the playoffs, and if they need get to a point where they need a fourth starter — and I'm not saying that's going to happen, but it's a possibility worth looking at — they pretty much have Manaea/Severino/Peterson lined up at the top of their rotation.



Who do you think is looking like #4?



No caveats. No hedging. Money must go down based on what is known today.

No conspiracy for me , it's Q all day

Senga opener followed by Quintana. So technically, it's a vote for Senga.

[MFS62]

If Senga has a regular season start and is healthy, him. (I voted for him)

Otherwise, Stay with three starters.

Wilmer Flores?



Bruce Boisclair?

If I was the manager, I would without question go with Quintana as long as he is healthy. I wish I could go with Senga, but he has said that he will not be strong enough to go 5-6 innings at a time. If he can only go 35-30 pitches at a time, then he will be better suited for an inning or two of high leverage relief every few days.

With the Braves announcing their pitchers for the Mets series, the Mets are holding back, but will probably let us know by tomorrow, but ... the question may no longer be whether Quintana is number four ahead of Megill, but whether he's #3 ahead of Peterson.



Peterson has unquestionably had the better season, but Quintana is just as unquestionably the hotter hand.

[Gwreck]

Tuesday: Severino

Wednesday: Peterson

Thursday: Manaea

[Lefty Specialist]

Gotta be Quintana. Megill is your long man if any of the the others falter.

[Edgy MD]

What they were planning all along then, good. The Braves have switched things up to get Matt Fried in there. Let them do the panicking and second-guesssing.

[MFS62]

Plan the work, then

work the plan,

until the plan stops working.
