The other thing that I heard that kind of bothered me,

even though I wouldn't say he's the guy to call up,

about Louis San Helicunia, was Mende saying, quote,

he needs to play every day.

So here's why I now have an issue with that. He's played every day all season

long. There are two weeks left in the season, in the minor league season.

That's it, two weeks. I want you to ask yourself a question.

Do you think Luis and Hellicunia would be better ready to help the Mets next year by getting

two more weeks in a place he's been all year long or sitting on the

bench listening and learning from the guys on this roster in the middle of a pennant race and even being

thrown into the middle of a pennant race even being thrown into a big opportunity

where he gets into a game. So if you don't want to call up Louis-Sanne Helicunia because you just don't think he's the best option, right?

You like the idea of Luke Ritter's pop or even the crazy idea that DJ Stewart's going to figure it out.

That's totally fine.

Louis Senna Lacunia has not had like this incredible season where he needs to be called up.

But don't give me this he needs to play every day crop.

That's an argument for June.

If it's the middle of the summer

and we're pining for a prospect to be called up, I'm totally with you.

Guys gotta play every day, don't waste them or rot him on the bench at the

major league level this is not wasting or rotting a guy on the bench this is

learning this is watching and seeing and growing and dare I say being thrown into it.
