00:00i went to the ballpark on june 12th which was a day game against the nationals

00:04and you know me john i try to go with an idea or two just in case something doesn't happen in

00:08the game you try to execute it beforehand and that was a point where blackburn had returned

00:12to the rotation pitched well they had six starters going well minaya was pretty close

00:17to coming back montas right behind them and my thing was how are they going to turn eight

00:22starters into five and then i got told by a couple of people who i called about this that blackburn

00:28was actually available if they want it and we posted a column in about the i mean a news story

00:33and about the fourth inning of that game in the sixth inning kodai singa covering first base

00:39blew out his hamstring so that story lasted as relevant for about 25 minutes 30 minutes

00:45and the mets pitching in particular nothing has worked for the last two plus weeks but the pitching

00:50in particular john has gone bad injuries canning mcgill singa setback for uh minaya and the guys

00:59who have pitched have not pitched well from the starters and then over burning the bullpens with

01:04short starts you know the game we play me and you at at the mlb network with brian kenney uh concern

01:11panic or doom why don't why don't i ask what's your level of mets now as we begin the month where they

01:17have to decide what are they doing at the deadline well we're certainly concerned i think we're

01:21bordering on panic at this point you you mentioned june 13th i do want to point out that was friday

01:26the 13th but that's not the reason they went south nor is it the fact that they honored pride day which

01:33i'm getting all sorts of tweets about that it's that they put up a flag of a pride flag instead of the

01:40american flag it's not that it's not that i want to walk i went for a walk with uh uh frank uh uh

01:48frank walks uh frank the tank uh it's none of that uh you know i they've regressed you could say they

01:55regressed to the mean they regressed to what's normal but it isn't normal to be the best team in

02:00baseball with a 45 and 24 record and since then be the worst with three and and 13 uh is it possible

02:08yeah i mean look in 2017 the dodgers uh were something like 90 and 30 something and they lost

02:1516 out of 17 and the yankees uh were terrible at the end of 2000 both teams made the world series

02:21it is a long season as they say that's baseball susan stuff happens but it is worrisome when you're

02:28talking about the pitching staff and and the way they've been decimated by injury and then a turn in

02:34performance i mean uh uh peterson was all-star worthy up until his last two starts uh unfortunately

02:42the injuries mcgill canning sanga uh and and you mentioned minaya was close to coming back when you

02:48wrote that story he's still close to coming back right still close i mean you know it's it's been

02:55quite eye-opening and and and pretty shocking steve cohen said it on twitter right he he never expected

03:01this i i really don't think anybody expected although people on twitter are telling me they

03:05expected it those are most yankee fans i think those are super geniuses uh just to put a a final point on

03:13it right is through the games of june 12th they were first in total era first and starter era and

03:21second and relief era all 289 or less in the in the 16 games since their last 641 in total

03:30era last in starter era 622 and 29 659 in reliever era i mean it has been a universal problem you

03:39know caused by injury cause you mentioned peterson you know blackburn after one good spot start against

03:45the dodgers hasn't been good since then montas one good one bad the one guy who's kind of going

03:50good is holmes and he's already 15 innings beyond whatever he's thrown in his life so you got to keep

03:55an eye on him as to your point minaya is still sitting out there now with loose bodies

04:01in his elbow and i think the cascade into their bullpen is a you know like we've seen brazaban

04:09take a big step back reed garrett take a big step back they kind of are desperate to win so you want

04:14to use your best relievers on the other hand we're in this situation so it leads to me john obviously say

04:19whatever you want about what i just offered but do you think that i know the trade deadline doesn't

04:25really really start until after the the draft which is the 14th and the uh the 13th and the 14th of

04:31july there's at least six starters uh six sellers maybe seven if you count the orioles does david

04:39sterns have to get pushy aggressive creative and just say i gotta find some arms now otherwise in the

04:45next two weeks things could get bleak he's not the pushy type i i don't see that from him he's not

04:51he's not giving up the big time prospects for a short-term solution uh that isn't him i i guess

04:58we shouldn't be shocked about the bullpen the starters while performing uh fantastically did not go long

05:05even when they were doing well and uh you know they were forced to use uh all their start all their

05:11good relievers stanick and garrett and brazaban a lot and uh they all look a little bit worn down

05:18uh they have some uh replacements available right uh budo nunez a couple guys uh diaz has been really

05:25good all along it's basically been diaz and soto carrying the team and you can't win with two guys

05:30one being the closer carrying your team um i just don't see it happening i think what we see and what

05:37they'll do is that rotation of lefty relievers that they've been throwing out there they might

05:42have now a rotation of regular relievers or other starters that they throw in there uh yeah we wouldn't

05:48have thought that they'd be at a deficit of starters because they did have very good depth

05:52in the rotation at one point it is not the case now and it is quite quite worrisome
