No way can you start Pelfrey over Maine & Perez who have sweat and bled for us all season. Though I believe Maine makes the better reliever. He has better control than Perez. Playoff rotation: Glavine, Hernandez, Martinez, Perez. Pen: Maine, Heilman, Wagner, Feliciano, Pelfrey, Schoenweis, Mota.

I can’t see them going with a three man rotation, even if the off days allow it. They would have to go back to a four-man if they reach the second round anyway.

From prior experience with this GM/manager tandem, it is probably most likely that Conine will make it, along with Mota & Schoeneweis, but hopefullynot Sele, since he’s not even being used now.

spiderpig: the way the playoff schedule is you can do a three man rotation on regular rest….

I see the bench as: Anderson(L)/Conine®/Green(L)/Gotay (SH)/ Chavez(L)/ Castro-DiFelice®

they may keep Gomez as a base runner and drop a pitcher with two starters in the pen, or keep Newhan if he looks like the player he was in the Zephs playoffs

I think Conine is way up the depth chart as far players getting cut- he’s a known commodity especially in th playoffs

SpiderPig: My mistake. When i saw Anderson…I thought of Anderson Hernandez….Not Marlon Anderson..of course M.Anderson will be on that roster.
We disagree with regards to Conine….he’s still got ability…

By: Spiderpig

Spiderpig — Sat, 08 Sep 2007 03:42:28 +0000

Yes, I clearly have him on my roster. Wait, who’s our best pinch hitter? Maybe he’s named Anderson. I’m only carrying one cacther; do the math! DiFelice is there in case Castro is still injured. I dont think Conine has too much ability anymore anywhere except hitting, maybe not even there. After the past couple weeks have played out, it is definitely time to talk playoff roster. I was talking about it two weeks ago at least, too. The magic number is only 17.

Spiderpig: You have Anderson Hernandez on the playoff roster? He can’t hit major league pitching….no way does he stay on the roster.
I don’t think that the Mets will carry 3 catchers and we’re not sure if Castro is even going to come back.
They will use four starters….I agree that Sele will probably not be on the playoff roster. But honestly, this is a bit premature….the Mets still need to clinch and with 22 games left to play and a 6 game lead….it’s too soon to talk post season.

Spiderpig: Conine is going to be on the playoff roster if they make it to the playoffs. One, he’s got ability at 3B, 1B or OF and two, he’s experienced with two WS rings.

Wow, I didn’t think Gomez would be back this soon. I wonder if there will be space for him in the postseason. You’ve gotta figure they’re gonna drop Sele from the bullpen, using the fifth starter there instead, opening up another bench spot. If Valentin or Easley were to somehow come back, one of them would get it because it would not be too effecicent to carry five only-OF guys, along with three others who can play there. With 11 pitchers and the eight starting position players, that leave six spots for Green, Conine, Chavez, Castro/DiFelice, Anderson, and Gotay. It’s probably gonna come down to a competition between Gomez, Gotay, and Conine for two spots. I would give the first edge to Gotay because he switch hits, then to Gomez because of his speed, unless Conine shows some hidden first base ability. Of course, this is all assuming that every regular starter now stays healthy.

Again, who went away so that Gomez could come back on the 40-man roster?

Looks like it was a good game for our offense, with Pelfrey pitching like the Bannister of early last season.

John,

Newhan almost single handedly won the Zephs first two games of their playoff series, tonight he’s nowhere to be found in the 8th of a tie game is he also on his way up…

its pretty sad to see all this bitching. I must be seeing the score backwards. I thought we were up by 8 not down by 8.
And can’t you lay off Milledge when he’s having his best day to date? Good O and good D, and he still gets blasted. What a fan base we have!

Sosa will be on the post season roster. You are training him for that. You do not play the young guys just because. You can always put them in for 8 and 9.

With our starters we will need at least one guy to go 2.

Where is Ralph Kiner? Doesn’t her always get a few innings in the booth on Fridays?

By: Bob

Bob — Sat, 08 Sep 2007 01:50:25 +0000

And there is a 3rd run for the Stros….Like I said….no need for Sosa to go a 2nd inning tonight

By: Bob

Bob — Sat, 08 Sep 2007 01:48:50 +0000

Because he doesn’t have to pitch a 2nd inning….9 run lead is for long/long men.

dave — Sat, 08 Sep 2007 01:47:52 +0000

Why not? you are up 9 and he was a starter. He is not Wagner.
