The pitch clock is a problem for the Mets, and not for the reason you think.
Forget the violations, it’s the hurried pace that seems to be killing their vaunted but very veteran starters.
Conditioning for starting pitchers counts big now that there’s far less time to rest, and though Mets starters are in excellent shape for their ages, a 30-something — especially a late-30-something — isn’t going to be in the condition a 20-something is. Justin Verlander and Jose Quintana are on the Injured List, but they’re 40 and 34 respectively. So this has a chance to be an issue for them, as well.
One scout suggested older pitchers such as Scherzer may have to be 75-pitch guys, at least for today. Also true to form, Scherzer doesn’t point fingers.Getty Images
