00:00all right joe is a big met fan we talked about it before the break talked about how important

00:04pitching is joe uh help is on the way dear we often quote a great film kodai sanga what are

00:10your thoughts well thoughts are that he is returning uh hopefully next weekend against

00:16the royals that's the plan so is sean mania so those are two huge additions here to this

00:21mets pitching staff and it couldn't come at a better time you had the mcgill injury you had

00:25the canning injury you had the blackburn injury none of these guys can stay healthy right now

00:30and kodai sanga looking to get uh back on track here now he did have a rehab start in double a

00:35he went three and two thirds innings gave up four runs three earned but he got up to 68 pitches

00:40that's important he had four strikeouts just two walks so if he's at 70 pitches i would be surprised

00:46if they made him take another rehab start my guess is they will take the 80 plus pitches 85 and just

00:52try to you know get those innings at the major league level and those pitches at the major league

00:57level next week against the royals especially because we are coming up against the break here

01:00so you're going to get to give the bullpen a rest anyway so i'd rather take five innings of kodai

01:05sanga than try to patch something together here with the bullpen i don't think that's a good idea

01:10they're going to have to do that today you want to do that twice in a week span probably not so i do

01:15think you're going to see sean mania back you're going to see kodai sanga back probably my guess

01:20would be friday and saturday maybe friday and sunday with mania being the guy on sunday so

01:25we shall see it's good news for the mets rotation that's for sure now the question is do the mets

01:30think that's enough right if you have peterson sanga mania do you want to get another pitcher

01:36are you worried about clay holmes we're going to talk more about him in hour two because those

01:40innings are starting to pile up in a very quick fashion for him he only had 63 innings the last two

01:46seasons there every single year now he's well into the 90s already so what is that going to look like

01:52by the time we get to august and september so big questions still ahead for the mets but the mets

01:57unlike the cubs have a ton of prospect capital that they can move if a big pitcher becomes available in a

02:02trade
