Remember before the season when we thought everyone would be scared about our starting rotation? Ha! My how things have changed. Who would have thought that we would hear the words that starter Logan Verrett would be replaced by a reacquired Jon Niese? I know I would have laughed at this thought – actually I probably would have cringed at this thought. But it’s happening. It’s real. And I’m cringing.
Niese is expected to make his return to the starting rotation. Unfortunately, many Mets fans should not be surprised by this as Verrett’s performance so far has been quite bad to say the least.
