I am at a loss

and not only because of the pinch hit move, but why Beltran is not on DL if he can't perform in an emergency situation and it's not the first time. Beltran gets these sprains and strains and is not disabled causing the Mets to play shorthanded. Then Willie is quoted as saying he doesn't know when Beltran is ready. What we have here is bad communication between player and manager and it has and will continue to hurt the team.

Save America. Impeach Bush

agree on Beltran

I think Omar is to blame to he's the GM, the DL is his domain, personally Beltran probably should have been put on the DL to call up Pelfrey.

its a ground ball...trickling... its a fair ball, its by Buckner, rounding third Knight, the Mets will win the ballgame, the Mets win!!!

waiting to see severity

They want to see how badly he's injured. If they DL him, he HAS to stay out for at least 15 days.

They can not play him on a day-to-day basis while evaluating, but w/o replacing the roster spot.

Then if the injury turns out to be bad, they can put him on the DL, but backdate the injury time to the day after the last day he played.

The benefit is that you don't lose your star for two weeks over a sore tummy, but sometimes you get burned and have to use a 45 yo pitcher to pinch run.

Since Willie passed up two opportunities to use Beltran with the game on the line, they might end up doing DLing him. Using him tonight would keep him out another 4 games on the future end of the DL period.

That was still an outrageous move by Willie wasting Anderson like that. Wtf?
