Mets @ Marlins 4/13-4/16

I could See Moore going down too with DD and Rojas able to play 1st.

true. we could also just DFA Urena but we cant possibly lose a talent like that.

Has he even pitched this season?

Has he even pitched this season?

He's pitched 4 innings and hasnt been bad but the fact that we are purposely leaving our bench short handed for a talent like him is just a horrible idea.

Got probably a week or so to figure it out, but i dont see how they can give hech his starting job back. Rojas is flat out a better player. Or more aptly put Hech fucking sucks.

[emkayseven]

Hech will absolutely get his job back though Hill has always said Rojas is the better defender anywhere in the infield.

Dump Hech

I seriously wonder if we're not better with the Rojas everyday at short, Riddle backing him up. Deal Hech and Urena for a lefty-specialist and lefty-masher.

[rmc523]

I've seen enough of all three to be good with that plan

[emkayseven]

I saw enough of Riddle at Jacksonville last year to not be good with him on the major league roster of an aspiring playoff team.

[Namaste]

Yeah there's no world where they don't give Hech is job back so that black hole bat is gon come back.

This was an action packed series and 3 of 4 is like a dream with the way Phelps pitched and the way Mattingly got out-managed in the 16 inning game.

Bour is easily my least favorite Marlin. That comedy slide could have cost us the game. He's cocky and his occasional home run doesn't make up for all of the holes in his game.

If he doesn't work out as a bench guy, picking up a decent utility man during the summer should not be hard.

Are u trying to say Hech and Urena to Seattle for Scrabble and Valencia?? Makes to much sense

Seattle and Toronto tho would be the first places I would look if they keep sucking tho-see what they want from a combo of Hech,Urena,a RP arm in AAA or prospects

The only thing is Mattingly likes that Rojas can play 1B,2B,SS,3B while Hech is pretty much a SS only. That and he is making 4 million are the reasons why he is starting

He isn't a bad guy for depth(AAA guy who can play if needed) but alot better options will be out there at the trade deadline.

Lets just hope Blown Save figures stuff out. He is already at BS3

To put a bow on one particular moment: The announcers last night made a big deal about Mattingly not challenging d'Arnaud's blocking of the plate on the Bour slide. Mattingly addressed it in his post-game comments by saying they didn't have enough time to really get a look at it and decide to make a challenge since this year the managers have just 30 seconds to make the decision. I didn't see that explanation in any online write-ups of the game, and I was curious to see (a) if anyone actually asked him about it and (b) what his response was, so I went back to watch his post-game presser on the Herald site.

[emkayseven]

Still not happy that Fredi almost blew the game by sending a runner on Cespedes's arm.

Hope [MENTION=46]¿NICK?[/MENTION] makes a Mariners thread

[Nick]

Will he? Won't he? Tune in to find out.
