BOBBY PARNELL RUMORS

Byrdak and Parnell are HOLDING it down for the Mets

The New York Mets bullpen hasn’t exactly been a picture of consistency through the first quarter of the season, but at times it certainly looks like a group capable of shortening a game.  Frank Francisco has had his struggles but has been impressive over his last five outings.  The Mets closer has gone 4 for 4 in save chances over that time and allowed just 1 ER in 5 IP ...

How Bobby Parnell thrives despite a .361 BABIP

In his three-plus seasons with the Mets, Bobby Parnell has always been a Dr. Jekyl and Mr. Hyde type of pitcher, in that we are never sure what kind of results to expect. But a few things have been rather consistent with the young fireballer. We know that Parnell is going to record a bunch of strikeouts and we know he is going to give up a ton of hits. But the 2012 edition may...

The Life Frank Saves Might Be His Own

You do realize that if Frangag Frantsisk had blown Sunday's game, he was walking to Pittsburgh.Blame Bobby Parnell all you want for having an outing which ensured that Frantsisk had to come in to save a game (even though Parnell got a "hold" as a reward for giving up two runs). But Parnell hasn't been a steaming pile of ulcers this season. Frantsisk has. And if...

If someone has to replace Francisco, it’s gotta be Parnell

Based on the events of the past three days (and some other events before then), it might be time for Terry Collins to make some changes in the Mets bullpen. Frank Francisco has done a terrible job in the ninth inning so far, but that doesn’t mean that moving him to the seventh or eighth will automatically straighten him out. Just leaving him in the ninth would almost definitely...

Time For Bobby Parnell To Get His Job Back

Frank Francisco has not gotten the job done as the Mets closer. Time for Bobby Parnell to have that role back? Last week I thought it would just be a blip with Frank Francisco and the blown save. However, he came yesterday’s game and blew another one. Back when the moves were made in the off-season, I said Francisco, Rauch and Ramirez would backfire and so far their performance...

Parnell too important to Mets future to trade right now

Over the weekend in an article about American League East bullpen woes, Boston Globe writer Nick Cafardo mentioned that the Mets are getting calls about relief pitcher Bobby Parnell. There’s a lot of demand for bullpen arms due to the abundance of relief pitcher injuries and/or ineffectiveness across the league. Does that mean the Mets should trade a part of their future? So...

D.J. Carrasco called up; Bobby Parnell drawing interest

Well the Mets ended their four game losing streak last night with Johan Santana on the mound. He gave them seven solid innings of work, and the bullpen managed not to blow the lead in their two innings of work. The Mets are 14-13 this year despite having one of the worst team ERA’s in the league. They are currently ranked 24th in the league with a 4.48 team ERA. Their starter’s...

Teams Interested In Trading For Parnell

Nick Cafardo of the Boston Globe reported this morning that several teams have called the New York Mets with serious interest in dealing for reliever Bobby Parnell. Parnell has bounced back after struggling last season and has mostly pitched in the 6-8 innings this season after a failed attempt at closing in 2011. He currently has 2.84 ERA in 12 2/3 innings pitched with a 1.263...

Would Bobby Parnell have been perfect laughter?

Former pickle factory worker, postal clerk and poet Charles Bukowski once remarked: ”The problem with the world is that the intelligent people are full of doubts while the stupid ones are full of confidence.” I think it takes some confidence to start a blog, put your real name on your opinions, allow others to share their thoughts on your ramblings and do it year after year...

Bobby Parnell shines on a miserable day for the Mets

Monday was a day to forget for the Mets, as they lost a doubleheader to the Giants by a combined 13-3 score. After losing two doubleheaders last year in April, most members of the Mets should be willing to forego twinbills before May for the foreseeable future. Perhaps the one player who might feel otherwise is Bobby Parnell, who appeared in both games yesterday and had 4 Ks in...
