Season opening rotation

[Fman99]

Mendy/Mets have announced the first turn through the rotation.  Interestingly, Manaea (whose velocity has been down for most of the spring) will piggy back on one of these starts, TBD which

Thurs 3/26 - Peralta vs PIT

Sat 3/28 - Peterson vs PIT

Sun 3/29 - McLean vs PIT

Mon 3/30 - Holmes vs STL

Tues 3/31 - Senga vs STL

Hmmm.  The Mets only have one day off between March 28th and April 15th.  You'd think this would be a time to deploy the 6-man rotation.

They may have more confidence in Myers to fill that spot,

They are planning on going with six guys, but I imagine they are only announcing five games here.

Puma in the Post (or was that Post in the puma?) said that Manaea is expected to work out of the pen for at least the first two rotations. So that's ten games in which there will be two off-days: following games #1 and #10 (or more depending on weather) .

I like having the piggyback to work the 6 starters through the rotation. Keeps more bullpen arms fresh.
