Ron Darling bringing the hammer down on Kodi Senga and how the Mets should handle their rotation,

because currently they have six guys, everybody's healthy, knock on wood.

But what do you do? Do you have another six-man rotation, Ronnie?

This is my feeling, and Senga's been here long enough.

I think it's time to be in a five-man rotation.

You know, and the rotation should not work around him anymore.

It should work with him.

Now that is Ron, who is as classy as they come, bringing the hammer down.

Should not work around him anymore.

Should work with him.

With him.

Which means we are not building a six-man rotation because of you. Right. Now, my one pushback... Well, he's not the ace. He's not the ace, but he's only made four starts on regular rest, and they're not good. So don't you want to maximize the players on your roster? Yeah, but you also have enough pitching right now with the two guys that we were talking about,

McLean and Freddie Peralta. Freddie Peralta.

And then Clay Holmes, I think, is going to even have a better season this year.

Hopefully it gets depth in the end of games.

But he just learned it a year ago.

So now I think he'll be better.

Your rotation is not bereft of talent no i mean right now i'm i still i mean so you have talent so what would you do

you send someone in the bullpen i or do you go six man and say sorry ronnie we're going six man

i think i think i think you conveniently go six man which is when you're ready to pitch, Kodi-I-Singa, we'll work you in. Now, this makes it really hard for Mendoza to think about this, but he's going to have to think about it like a month out. But you don't want to risk Nolan McLean and Freddie Peralta missing starts because you've got to wait for Kodi-Singa. Right. You pitch them on their fifth day. Right. And you manipulate Senga around that. Right. You manipulate everybody else. Yeah. I'm a big fan of the tag team. And because Sean and I and Cora Canga still haven't pitched yet in spring training, I have no reason to believe anything is going to change with them. Tag team those guys. they pitch in the same game. What do they call it? Piggyback. I like tag team. The other thing was, it's spring training. The St. Louis Cardinal radio announcers went to town on Juan Soto. Juan Soto. Did he really? Yes, he had a pop-up the other day and didn't run it out. Would you like to hear the Cardinal announcers? Oh, nice. Here it is. Tell me if this is justified or not. The St. Louis Cardinal announcer is bitching about our guy Juan Soto. That is sky high. Matthews can't see it, but Pahey's can, and he makes the play in fair territory with Soto not running. Can't stand seeing that.

If he would have dropped that ball, which was a distinct possibility,

they may have been able to throw Soto out at first base.
