(Yes, I stole this headline from something my friend Victorio, who at a game back in 2010 said, Manny Acosta, also known as He’ll Cost Us a Run)
It’s time to do something with Manny Acosta. On the season he is 1-2 with a 10.80 ERA.
As a way to tell how ineffective has been, last night he went 2 innings, allowed 3 ER and that barely increased his ERA from 10.53. At this point something has to give as we just cannot trust Acosta in any game situation.
The Mets are continuing to face a depth problem:
- Pelfrey goes Down
- Schwinden is not effective
- Batista moves to the pen, Acosta’s roll increases
- Batista gets injured
- Carrasco is ineffective
- Hefner has to take on a starting roll
The Mets are running out of options at the major league level, it’s time to bring up a fresh face for him.
