The Mets lead the Reds 2-1 with one out in the sixth as Ian Gibaut replaces Hunter Greene.
It was a solid night for Greene in a game where he wasn't getting a ton of strikeouts and swings and misses. It was a command and soft contact type of day, and it led to some good results.

I do see your point and was supportive of it but then having a jab at another developing pitcher who is having a rough patch (closer to 6 than 7 ERA) but still looks to be someone to have faith in seems a bit hypocritical
I honestly think the game threads are too tough on our younger players (all players) in general. I can see ELDC getting called up, struggling, and then people stressing about the wonderkid being a bust. Greene, Lodolo, and any player who is brought up should be given some support.
I would add that the comments about Greene in this thread seemed reasonable. The third pitch is a problem
The point I was making is, for whatever reason, Lodolo doesn't take anywhere near the heat Greene does despite having an ERA almost twice the size of Greene's. I like Lodolo and have watched him (and Lance Lynn) murder my ERA and WHIP in a 15-team league, but also wonder why the threads when he pitches don't sound with the same frustration that is constantly heaped on Greene. I would like Greene to get the same treatment from fans on this board anyway that they afford Lodolo...I do see your point and was supportive of it but then having a jab at another developing pitcher who is having a rough patch (closer to 6 than 7 ERA) but still looks to be someone to have faith in seems a bit hypocritical
Well, that's what those words mean. He was here. If they don't keep him, he will have been lost/subtracted. I headed out the door today with two shoes on my feet. If I don't return with them, I have lost them. If I do return with them, I haven't added them. ---M2
