Luis Severino's shutout was a breath of fresh air. Paul Blackburn attempts to keep the Flushing atmosphere crisp Sunday at 12:05 on Roku and the Audacy Mets Radio Network (still 880 on your AM dial). Rets(yn) Go Mets! [media=youtube]3gtFCfGjjms[/media]

The objective is to prioritize starting pitching, not to leave a struggling starter in to reach the innings threshold while his ERA skyrockets or at the risk of injury. So the league's conversations have included carve-outs, instances when pitchers would not have to pitch the required six innings. Some instances when a starter would be allowed to leave early might include: He throws 100 pitches He gives up four or more earned runs He gets injured (with a required injured list stint to avoid manipulation) Outside of those exceptions, pitchers would have a mandate to make it through at least six innings. That would force teams to rethink their pitching staffs to meet the new standards.

Never recovered as a reliever once Jesse Winker took him deep on the Fourth of July. Actually looked good in his first game as a starter, against the Tigers. Then stopped looking good.
