00:00All right, let's touch quickly on the Miami Marlins.

00:02Max Meyer has season-ending left hip surgery.

00:05Bad news for the Marlins, but we still know how to bet on them.

00:09We understand who they are.

00:10I mean, they're bad, but they're better than the Nationals,

00:13if you look at it statistically.

00:14Sorry, but I feel like I'm more inclined to bet against the Marlins

00:18than I am on the Nats because the Nats seem a bit more spunky.

00:21All right, let's stay in the National League East and talk about the match.

00:24Sean Minaya completely shut down from throwing for a little while

00:27because of the dreaded oblique.

00:29What does this mean to Met fans, Joe Pizzapia?

00:33Well, he's on the I.L. with the oblique,

00:35but he was shut down because of the loose bodies, I guess, in the arm.

00:39And this is something that a lot of pitchers deal with.

00:41They typically end up having those arthroscopic procedures.

00:44They clean it up and everyone's fine.

00:46I remember Cole Hamill's done this a couple times.

00:48Ron Darling's broadcast was really interesting.

00:50Darling was a really good pitcher for a long time in the major leagues.

00:54Knows a lot about pitching.

00:55And he said he's had the same thing twice.

00:57It's a pain tolerance thing.

00:58You know, they give you the cortisone shot, which is what they've done here for Minaya.

01:01So the oblique issue is fine.

01:03It's the loose bodies right now on the elbow that are kind of bothering him a little bit.

01:06But they're going to shut him down from throwing cortisone shot and then get right back after it.

01:10And they need him in the worst way because now Griffin Canning,

01:13he's out for the year with the torn Achilles.

01:15And Canning had pitched really well.

01:17And, you know, Tyler McGill had pitched really well before his injury.

01:20And Kodai Senga was terrific.

01:22The best of the bunch before his injury.

01:24Now, the good news is Senga comes back.

01:26My guess is when McGill comes back, he goes to the bullpen.

01:29If his arm is healthy, he can do that.

01:31But it's been tough for the Mets.

01:32And I think the Mets have to understand that, you know, it's been real cute what they've been able to do.

01:36But if you're going to really compete with the big boys,

01:38you got to go out there and get a big time starter.

01:40And I hope, I hope that they do that in July.

01:42We'll see.
