Mets aren’t going anywhere this year, SHUT HIM DOWN! Save him for 2017. And fire TC while you’re at it.
whitemule70
Yes. Shut him down.
morebreakdowns
yes definitely fire collins, he’s always been an ok manager at best and was saved by last years team
thebare
He’s not bad I don’t see any better out there fired or bench coach except maybe Rentalia of the Sox who was wronged by Theo

Shocking
Ray Ray
I’m shocked….SHOCKED…well not that shocked.

“…is visiting Dr. James Andrews…” has to be one of the most chilling sentences any ballplayer or team can hear.

It’s got to be close to hearing your grandmother has a wellness check with Dr. Kevorkian.
HubcapDiamondStarHalo
Yeah, really. “He’s perfectly fine!” – words never said by Dr. Andrews…
Connorsoxfan
Yup

The Mets don’t have a good history with young pitchers and their elbow. Harvey, DeGrom, Matz, Wheeler……maybe their training staff or team doctor should be looked at.
DEK59
You have that right, they ruin pitchers. Yet nobody talks about the trainers, definitely a pattern
Out of place Met fan
Pitchers break. Period.

These issues date back to the trio of Paul Wilson, Bill Pulsipher, and Jason Isringhausen.

1999 through 2014 (sorry I just haven’t updated TJS by team) the most TJS…Atl with 23, Stl w/19, SD w/18, NYM w/16 and the Nats w/16.

It’s Ok. Gonzalez Germen is available.

I don’t understand why teams love Wheeler so much and wanted to trade for him. The guy was ok to average in his short time in the majors and he’s always hurt.
TBaggins
Over his first 285 1/3 innings at the big league level, from 2013-14, Wheeler owns a 3.50 ERA with 8.5 K/9 against 3.8 BB/9.
Did you miss this portion of the post. You’re ridiculous “OK to average”
Ray Ray
In 2011, who would have thought that Beltran’s career might end up lasting longer than Wheeler’s?
conquerbeard
Huh? Beltran had already played 12-13 years in the bigs by the time of the trade. Regardless of how good you are, that’s a helluva benchmark in and of itself.
MB923
He means from 2011 through the rest of their careers
Ray Ray
Thank you.

Woodhead should be banned from this site for politically calling for the firing of that very nice man Terry Collins. Woodhead aren’t you the idiot who says the NETS are making the playoffs? You also believe that Hillary never lies? Let’s fire Woodhead and take up a collection to get him a lobotomy. Woodhead the. Nets won’t win a game before Xmas.
woodhead1986
umm, ok? I don’t think I’ve ever commented about any NBA team actually. Don’t think I’ve ever talked about my feelings on Hilary Clinton either. TC does suck though, I stand by that firmly.

Mets built their team around young pitching, and then over used them last year. First Harvey goes down , then Thor an Matts have bone chips. Now we hear this about Wheeler. This team needs to get a bunch of position to be able to have a good team long term, but I don’t think they can get them with their budget restrictions.

Their emphasis has been on power arms and that is at the root of the problem.
As Dr. Jobe said “Throwing is good. Throwing really hard can be bad. Doing some kind of throwing can definitely help build arm strength. We didn’t know this before Tommy — when he’d throw, he could toss OK, but once he got to 75 percent effort, that’s when stress transfers from the muscle to the ligament. Throw a lot, just not in a game.”
The “power era” basically began in the 90’s. Emphasis on power bats and pitchers. Prior to 1996 the largest # of surgeries done was 2 then it jumped as follows….MLB only #’s 1996 – (10 TJS)…97 (7)…98 (0)….99 (22)…. 2000 (26)….2001 (25)…. 2002 (38)….2003 (29)….2004 (33)…. 2005 (13)…. 2006 (10)…. 2007 (7)….2008 (8)…. 2009 (8)….2010 (11)….2011 (30)….2012 (46)….2013 (25)….2014 (29)…. 2015 (30)…thru May of this year (I haven’t updated since and there have been quite a few….12). Despite popular belief there have been a great many flame-throwers in history (the documentary “Fastball” shows that Ryan’s famous 100.9 pitch was actually 108.5 if measured as they do today, Feller threw at 107.6 in the 1940’s) , they just didn’t throw as hard as they could every time…they pitched.
I can only hope that John Smoltz was right. Around draft time 2015 he was on MLB network and said that he had talked to several GM’s who were tiring of the power era. Tired of pitchers burning out, of the emphasis on throwing and not pitching, the emphasis on power hitters who K more than hit. Several want to get back to pitchers who pitch and hitters who make contact instead of a breeze. I hope they do, but I doubt it.
