Upper management at WFAN must have an agenda to make NY fans as angry and unsatisfied as possible no matter what!

I'm starting to feel that we got it wrong with Mendoza. Guy doesn't have a feel for the game

Mets management:" we need to preserve these players for future losses." 😂😂😂😂

All Sal does is yell and whine.

CARLOS "PAMPER" MENDOZA is treating this team like a Kid's Day Care Center. He has taken out starters in a premature manner and the METS wind up losing the games. A few games earlier MENDOZA did not play VIENTOS because he needed the rest. What the fuck? Do yuo think a young player like MENDOZA who's trying to be a regular MLB player wants to rest?? The way MENDOZA has been managing, the METS won't make the post season.

I really dislike hard pitch count limitations. If a pitcher is rolling there should be freedom for managers to let him either finish the inning or go until there is some trouble.

Sal if they cared the bullpen would look different right now and Diekmaen would've been off this team already

What a dumb call bringing up the guy surviving cancer what does that have to do with winning the game and Sals point 😂

I’ve never seen someone flip flop as much as Sal does in sports lol

Sal Licata is the most idiotic person in NYC sports. And this hurts me as a NY Mets fan. He stated yesterday that because the Mets organization determined that individual Christian Scott should personally be limited to 75 pitches yesterday to prevent future injuries, that this was wrong, because pitchers in general succumb to injuries all the time. WHAT? What idiocy is this? Please fire Sal Licata. His stupidity is off the charts.

Why are these guys so surprised? Analytics strikes again; wins again.

Just think 40 year's ago a pitcher would have at least 10 complete games a season now you wont get 10 for the entire league they are paid more to work less disgusting

The less innings and pitches these guys throw the more they get hurt.

Many people will disagree with me but I love Sal's energy. Great passion and points made here Sal. Never change brother💪!!!! #nym2024⚾❤️💪🗽

Sal, I have a major issue with a guy who can’t get one out. The original plan was for Houser to start at seven. He was horrible yesterday. This rotten bullpen is the reason why this team can’t give by 500 and you know that. But you can’t blow out the arms like you did in 2015 and 1996 and expect to have a deep pitching staff for years to come.

U can blame sports betting to why he got pulled

I don't listen to sports talk radio like i did when i was younger, but BT & Sal are the best on the fan by far. Agree with BT on this one. Usually I wouldn't, but in this scenario i think its the right move.

Fans pay to see wins. What the Mets did was criminal.

That's an aron boon move just about every week Sal.

Hey Sal ! Reeeeelax !!!!! Real Met fans want Scott around in the future.....if it was up to me he'd be in the minors still.....what do you want him to do??? pitch 300 innings this year and blow his arm out ???

Honestly you're not wrong about the pitch count but I think I'd rather have all my starters throw under 80 to be honest.

I don't usually agree with Sal but on this point, he is right. NOBODY should care about pitch limit, Inflammatory muscle, preserving for later games, blah blah. You're a major league pitcher that is required to pitch 90+ pitches, if you can't do that go find another sport because baseball isn't for you. Enough with the cuddling & babying these grown men & do your DAMN job!

Welcome to the life of a rays fan…

Clown take. Dude wants to “win” at the expense of a young star’s health. Pathetic.

BT Is right about the kid gloves regarding pitch counts ' thats from stearns no doubt about it ' its like he wants them to lose so he can gut this team

Yelling louder doesn’t make your argument better. Sadly this is what sports talk radio is coming to.

Little leaguers have a max pitch count in the LLWS of 85 pitches, these adults cannot even throw that many, what a joke

What about pitchers getting taken out while they are pitching a no hitter?

How many of these pitching decisions are driven by Hefner? Mendoza is not all that bad for a rookie manager. I would like to see Hefner and all the rest of the coaching staff (minus Gibbons) fired. Let Stearns / Mendoza hire their own guys during the offseason.

Pitch count is bs

There are 4 complete games in mlb so far this year ... lol

Of course there is one truth to this... If you don't play, you can't get hurt. In every athletic event in the world, athletes are, faster, stronger and better prepared than all of those who came before them. In every sport, EXCEPT for baseball pitchers. You'd think that with all these conventional wisdom paradigms the sport has embraced: of pitch counts, inning limits, 5 man rotations, 13 pitchers on a 25 man roster, making the mere idea of a "complete game" an aberration, that no pitcher should get hurt unless they are hit with a batted ball or fall down the dugout steps, but no!.. They still go down at an alarming rate. Look at Senga, he had no structural damage to his shoulder, did not require an amputation of a limb, did not have reconstructive surgery, and he's been out for 5 months going into 6. If this is the best that sports science can come up with, it's probably time to re-evaluate the entire process of preparation, strategy and development of the entire concept of pitching. Because this is undeniably a load of BS.

We need a 3 failed starter FREAK bullpen: Butto, Houser, Megill. The of course we still have Diaz, Nunez, Ottavino. Hoping for Sean Reid - Foley to come back, and hopefully we see Gage soon. DIekman and the rest need to go.

My half season rating, scale from 1-10. Offense-7. Starting pitching 6. Closer 5. Relief pitchers. 1.

The problem with this argument is that your choice would have been McGill pitching 5 and blowing up or watching Scott get screwed like this. They prioritized winning by having Scott out there but they aren’t going to burn his arm for one win in a 500 season

Sal continues to be a living joke.

oh my god these two are soooooooo bad on the air. Nothing but negativity

I was put off by Sal after the Carl Banks blunder but as time went on I realized he's loud just to be loud. Kind of like Steven A Smith. Its loud mouth just to be loud. But i do appreciate his Mets rants and BT's . I cant lie.... its entertaining. Only knock is thats its too flip floppy.... but thats kind of the life of us Mets fans.

I hate modern analytic baseball.

The two outs in the 6th to face there 2 best hitters, I take the next inning

If you are not in complete agreement with Sal Licata in this particular circumstance, you are part of the problem of what has happened to baseball in the past 20 years. If Scott can't make 80+ pitches on regular rest, he shouldn't be here. The team hamstrung Scott and the pitching staff with this move and lost the game. Mendoza stinks as a manager and this is not the first time he has made this kind of move before the inning is over. Are you trying to win or not?

Whats it matter if u lose in the 7th or any other inning the pen is a liability

Mendoza is clueless and he treats these startes like high school pitchers on a pitch count ' the man cost us so many games due to his incompetent managing of the bullpen ' mendoza is a replica of aaron boone ' terrible lost

MBAPPE BANGS DUDES.

Get Bauer

Fire mendoza

Orze was just unlucky he hit his spots they just didn’t chase at all that ground ball was hit too soft otherwise that’s out 3 but we need to stop babying these pitchers they know what there getting into when they become pitchers there gonna throw a lot of pitches baseball is so lame with that stuff it’s annoying let the kid pitch at least 100 like dang

Boycott the Mets

That's why the mets will never win again

I don’t care

Sal is seriously one of the dumbest people in talk radio. He seems to believe that every baseball game should be managed like it's the 7th game of the world series, because according to him, sports are all about winning. He ignores the fact that baseball is a 162-game grind, and no one manages to win every game like it's life or death. Yes, sports ARE about winning, ultimately, but you can lose seventy games a year and still make the play-offs and win a world series. If Sal knew anything about Christian Scott, he'd know that last year the Mets were concerned Scott might need TJ surgery. Fortunately, the inflammation healed, and Scott ended up pitching well in 2023. But the Mets are managing his innings and rightfully so. The only mistake the Mets made yesterday was bringing in the inexperienced Eric Orze to pitch against the dangerous lefty Bryan Reynolds, who he ended up walking, and then it got worse from there. Sal is plain ignorant.
