PHOENIX — The joy of six isn’t so pleasurable for Terry Collins.
The Mets manager said before Friday’s 7-2 loss to the Diamondbacks that he could be on the verge of dropping the team’s six-man rotation, after only one turn through.
“It’s a pain in the [butt] — literally,” Collins said before the Mets faced the Diamondbacks at Chase Field. “I’m just tired of answering the questions, so we could be going back to a traditional rotation.”
Jon Niese, who had posted a 9.00 ERA over his previous four starts, wasn’t pitching for his job on Friday, according to Collins.
