Well, that didn’t take very long now, did it? After basically one turn through the Mets’ new six-man rotation, manager Terry Collins had apparently seen and had enough. In essence, the manager found it unmanageable.
By traditional, Collins obviously meant the more standard five-man rotation employed by, well, everybody else. But if that’s the case, then one of the veteran pitchers, either Jonathan Niese (pitching Friday night with an 0-3 record and a 9.00 ERA over his last four starts) or Dillon Gee, is headed to the bullpen – or possibly a different uniform with a new team.
