00:00The Mets just announced because, of course, Game 1 starter tomorrow against the Phillies.

00:13Kodai Senga is going to come back, Scotty.

00:15So he has pitched once this entire season.

00:19If you remember, he missed the first, what was it, four and a half months, came back,

00:23pitched one game, got hurt again with the calf, hasn't pitched since then.

00:28He's been rehabbing, and he will return to start Game 1 for the Mets in Pharrell, Adelphia

00:33tomorrow night.

00:35And Severino will pitch Game 2 on Sunday.

00:37So that's how the Mets will line up against Wheeler and Christopher Sanchez on Sunday

00:43in Game 2 for the Phillies.

00:44I mean, listen, the guy has clearly got some issues with his body.

00:50He's kind of a P. I mean, the guy goes out, the wind blows, and he's got an injury, and

00:56he's never played.

00:57But I'll tell you this much.

00:59If he could just for once stand on that mound and throw that forkball, and if it's moving

01:06and it's falling off the table like a wet noodle, I am telling you what, it is hard

01:11to hit.

01:12That pitch is hard to hit.

01:14And guys see it coming out of his hand, it looks like a meatball, and then it just falls

01:19right to the ground, and guys miss it.

01:22And so the question for me is, can he stand out there for five or six innings?

01:28He's such a P. It's like unbelievable, this guy's such a saltwater taffy.

01:32Oh my God, he's just so soft.

01:36Like man up, bro, honestly.

01:38I mean, his own teammates have to think he's a P, honestly.

01:42I mean, let's get real here.

01:44All the time, these guys, when they're not around him, I guarantee you that's what they're

01:48saying about him.

01:49I guarantee it.

01:51Well, that lone start that he made, it was actually a lot further back than I thought.

01:55July 26th against the Braves was the only start he made this year, right before both

02:02of ours.

02:03Yes.

02:04So there you go with him.

02:05Now, Senga also, now this was last year, pitched pretty well against the Phillies, beat them

02:092-0 through seven innings, one hit ball.

02:12Another timeout, did lose the second time, but he's pitched pretty well against the Phillies

02:16in his past.

02:18So Senga against Wheeler, game number one in Forelidalski.

02:22How many years now is Senga in the show?

02:25Are you telling me two?

02:26This is his second.

02:27Second.

02:28This is, this is, I mean, I don't know if you can count this as a year, he's pitched

02:31once.

02:32I thought it was his first year.

02:33That's how little he pitches.

02:35This was supposed to be his second year.

02:37I don't know if you can count it as a second year, considering he didn't pitch.

02:40So he pitched last year though.

02:43He made it the whole year last year.

02:45Only one start this year and his second start will come in a very big spot tomorrow night,

02:50of course.
