May 30, 200719 yr Author That hasn't stopped 90% of Mets fans for wanting a "f***ing horrible pitcher" this season. Oh come on, if you're going to quote me, do it correctly. I said he's having a f***ing horrible season, not that he's a f***ing horrible pitcher. And quite frankly, I think you'd be surprised how the performances of our starters this season has quelled any desires for Dontrelle. You guys are the awesomeness. Im not worthy :notworthy
May 30, 200719 yr There's absolutely nothing wrong with the Mets rotation and DTrain is having a pretty bad season. Strong run support hides poor pitching.
May 30, 200719 yr With no due respect to the Mets, Dontrelle's 6 quality starts would place him third on your team (by one paltry outing), and his 76 innings would lead your staff. So if that's a "f***ing terrible year" I guess you guys have a ton of soul searching.
May 30, 200719 yr How many starters on the Mets besides Pedro have won more than 20 games in one season? How many have won more than 14? You may say he's up and down, but Dontrelle has been extremely durable. Given how often pitchers are injured, that says a lot. buddy they do have Glavine in the staff as well ... ahem: future hall of famer and if that wasnt enough they also have El Duque who does have a pretty good record in his past know a little before speaking please, thats just ... ugh ... :lol I forgot about Glavine. El Duque has never won 20 games. No one on that staff on the good side of 30 years old has done anything remarkable.
May 30, 200719 yr I don't care if anyone would rather have Haren, Lackey, or Perez, simply because none of those pitchers are or will be on the market. Dontrelle is far and away the best lefty, and possibly the best overrall pitcher available on the trade market. If we don't keep him, it's going to take a HELL of a deal to snatch him away.
May 30, 200719 yr I think this may be the only place where you can find people criticizing the Mets rotation.
May 30, 200719 yr I think this may be the only place where you can find people criticizing the Mets rotation. because they are pitching way above their heads...that will not last all season for every member of that rotation
May 30, 200719 yr an almost 5 ERA with 11 homers, too many hits, and a poor k/bb ratio. Not a great year at all. The only pitcher in your rotation with a better K/BB ratio is Perez. Dontrelle's is the exact same as Maines, so...
