I don't get why people want Matthews out of this rotation.

Ain’t no way we hold on to a guy for all the years we have then send him away when he’s hot. I love TR for what he’s done for us, but his role is very limited.

Only a matter of time...

I agree with you that, if this was up to merit, Funderburk should stay up here, and Rogers should be allowed to retire gracefully so he doesn't get DFA'd.  The Twins have shown over and over again that they refuse to release a guy they believe can provide them assistance and have no options left.

Funny how they have a lot of former Twins on their bench, Garver, Raley, and Refsnyder.

...had Polanco also

...Polanco

Polanco is a Met this year.  Hard to know that since he's been hurt for most of the season.

Yes...I corrected my comment with "had"

The performance of our bullpen has been lights out in July. The results are so much better than the first two months of the season. They still are going to blow up on occasion in August and September and lose some leads but all teams will experience that in the next two months. But let’s appreciate the performance improvement of the bullpen during the last 45 days. Hawk has done a nice job coaching the bullpen.

Polanco is a shell of his former talented self

The Mets have been a bad luck charm for many

While I'm watching the interview of Zebby, it is important to point out he kept us in the game.  He may not have been able to get a quality start but giving us five was enough with the bullpen and allowed the offense to make the comeback.
