Good Day For Former Mets Pitchers
Thanks to the Washington Nationals, we can’t watch New York Mets baseball just yet. What we could do was see former Mets pitchers in action.
Matt Harvey took the ball for the Baltimore Orioles, and he looked good. His slider was moving, and he touched 95 MPH. Unfortunately, he fell one-third of an inning short of the win.

Zack Wheeler took the ball for the Philadelphia Phillies, and he’d have more hits himself than he allowed. He was 2-for-3 with a double and two RBI.

On the mound, he struck out 10 over 7.0 innings with the only hit against him coming from Travis d’Arnaud.
We also saw the former bullpen arms do well. Darren O’Day pitched 0.2 scoreless and picked up a hold. Michael Fulmer picked up a hold for pitching a scoreless inning while hitting 95 MPH.
All-in-all, it was a pretty good day for former Mets pitchers. Hopefully, that momentum for Mets pitchers will confine when the Mets are finally able to start their season on Monday.
Still seething over Wheeler’s departure.
Absolutely. It was completely and utterly incompetent
One theory was that Brodie was mad at Wheeler dating back to when Wheeler passed on hiring Brodie as an agent.
He should have been extended before the 2019 season – especially when Zack came out and said he was open to one.
While interesting and probably meritorious, it may just be as simple as BVW was completely and utterly incompetent
