About Last Night

-Really raise your hand if you wanted Brian Lawrence to start over Philip Humber.

-What a coincidence the Mets weren't in a tight game late, and we didn't see Mota pitch. Willie obviously saving his key pitcher for a close game tonight.

-Pitching in his 3rd straight game Willie Randolph wanted 2 innings out of Sosa.

-Why can't we see Humber in a pressure situation? Can he really be worse then anyone else out there?

-Joe smith came back out for the bottom of the 8th last night, after he didn't look like he had his good stuff in the 7th, he got threw the inning but now Willie has an excuse to put Mota in the game tonight against a right handed hitter late in the game.

Quote "Smith wasn't available I had to go with Mota."

Here's my point

If Willie just used the bullpen as

Scott S only to get the big lefty out
Smith only to get the big righty out
Mota only in mop up ROLE
Feliciano for 1 inning TOPS

Then use Sosa and Heilman in the setup roll and Wagner to close. The bullpen would be fine, one of the best but he just can't do it.

Willie can't accept that this is all his pen can handle, there is no such thing to limitations to Willie got to stick with the vets because of track record.
