Surprised the Braves designated Williams Perez, thought he pitched well on just 3 days rest against a potent Dodgers lineup yesterday. I guess he will feature more later in the year, and its a good chance for Folty to solidify in the rotation again.

He was optioned to Triple-A, not designated for assignment. Perez is still on the 40-man roster.

ah apologies there Mr Adams., still surpising. to me.

The Mets telecast of tonight’s game said it would be Aaron Blair starting on Sunday.
ammiel

I personally hope it’s Blair. He seems like he is ready. Leave Folty down until either Norris or Chacin are moved so he can work more on harnessing that control. Inevitably I believe he may be a bullpen piece but his stuff warrants every oppurtunity to stick in the rotation. But he has Eric Gagne written all over him.

Can’t have gotten Hoover out of that spot fast enough. He looks like 2014 Hoover which was a disaster. Closer by committee is the best option.

We’re not competing this year anyway. Be patient, let them get confident in the minors, we will see them before the end of the year.

Blair just took a perfect-game into the 6th and no-hitter into the 7th — striking out 10 in AAA. If he has any more confidence he’d be running for president.

I’d vote for him too!
