What do you want to do with this pitching staff? You know Mendoza has not specifically said what the plan is like Adrian Howser was moved to the bullpen

Temporarily for the series in St. Louis the Mets are about to begin a stretch in which they don't have off days.

They're dealing with back to back off days, good for them.

But once they begin the series against Atlanta, they go three in a row against the Braves, they go four in a row against the Braves they go four in a row against the Phillies it's weird two of the games are at city two of the games are in Philadelphia

And then they keep playing like looking at the schedule I gotta see how many days in a row they actually play but they've got the the four games

The three games against Atlanta the four games against Philadelphia is that seven in a row then they've got three games in Miami that's seven in a row then they've got three games in

Miami that's ten in a row and then three games in Cleveland that's 13 in a row so

they're about to engage in a stretch in which they play 13 times in a row and

then after that off day they play 13 times in a row. And then after that, off day they play 3, 6, 10, 13 in a row again.

So they're about to play, I'll do the math,

26 games in 28 days.

Lot of baseball.

They've got Tyler Miguel two starts into his rehab career,

if you will.

He's pitched incredibly well. I think he's going to make one more rehab start over the weekend and then they're probably going to call him up. I guess they'll go slower with David Peterson. Forget about Sanga because that's still, you know, weeks and weeks away.

When he starts making rehab starts, we'll have a discussion about it.

Christian Scott's gotta stay in the rotation.

Jose Budo is earned remaining in the rotation. Manaya should stay in the rotation.

Kentana is obviously in the rotation and

seven is in the rotation.

So you've already got five guys that to me need to take the baseball every five or six days.

Do you insert Houser back in as the sixth man?
