Yeah, Richard was the problem with that inning. That said, Warren had poor command. Marte was helping him out until he missed location in the zone. I really don't see any point in keeping Richard on the roster any longer.
Joe should have just left Grimm in. There was no need to get cute playing matchup in a five run game, much less to bring Richard in just because he's a lhp.
Frankly, I'd rather see the Pirates make the poastseason than the Mets. I mean we own the Bucs. Is there another team that we'd rather see them face in October? That said, the current stretch may put them in a deep, deep hole.
