If that was the intent, it fell flat on its face. The bottom has dropped out of the market with last night’s performance. He had no command. I feel sorry for the kid but he was a one game flop.

What concerns me about Jenrry is that he may be a pitcher who can’t claim any defined role. To me, he’s a high energy guy with a small frame (by today’s standards), and I doubt he’ll be able to survive long term as a starter. I hope he can but I’m really doubtful. I don’t know what his problem is being a reliever. Maybe he suffers from the Aaron Heilman syndrome — namely his ego tells him he’s better than being just a reliever yet his limited pitches say otherwise.

Have the Mets management screwed up Jenrry with the constant shifting of roles? I think so. Our front office and field managers have a history of it. They did it with Daniel Murphy and Ryan Church. Murphy has just recovered after some really stupid assignments. Let’s remember he was put in the outfield in the majors with a total experience of 11 putouts in the minors. Willie, Jerry and Omar screwed him up big time. Now Sandy and Terry may be doing the same to Jenrry. Let’s hope not.

The Mets have ruined him with the constant movement back and forth between starting and relieving. Has he actually shown anything in the minors to warrant a September callup this year? My expectations for his performance last night was just what we got – nothing to write home about. My opinion is that Mejia’s career is toast courtesy of mismanagement by the Mets. The comparison to Harvey is no comparison. SA was so slow and almost terrified to bring Harvey up because he was feared not to be mature enough to handle himself in the majors. Instead he is rock solid and one of our highlights for the future. Then they bring up Mejia when he is totally unprepared to pitch in the majors. There is no consistency or logic to such decisions. This is one player who I think will just drift away into obscurity. Too bad!!

We are “rich” in pitching with Dickey, Harvey, Gee, Nieses, Familia, Young and other guys coming up. Could Meija be looked at as trade bait for an outfielder or relief help?

The kid might have been feeling the pressure of high expectations, but if that is the case, he won’t have that pressure in his next start. Stay tuned on Jenrry. We may have something special on the mound with him and then again, we may not.

The METS scored SIX , yes you heard me right SIX runs! When was the last time they scored six runs, maybe 140 innings ago. This is the highlight of my season. I thought my tv was on rewind when I saw Met after Met touch home plate. Oh we lost-at this point who the hell cares!

It was painful to watch him pitch from the 1st inning onward.

In terms of the retaliation thing, I don’t think KRod has any ill-feelings towards the Mets and may even still appreciate guys like Wright. It seems DW is friendly with everyone in baseball, perhaps too much so.

I also think the Brewers may have felt Acosta was just erratic which led to Ramirez getting plunked. Last, keep in mind, that was his 12th[!] HBP.

Who knows what today will bring.

He easily cold have been trying to hit him, and just kept missing his spot!

Mejia did not look at all good last night. And the #s were brutal.

Agreed. On another note I was curious to see if KRod would hit Wright after Acosta hit I believe Ramirez if I remember correctly. Turned out he walked Wright instead.
