PASSED BALL SHOW #31 6/7/2012 PART TWO WITH RICH COUTINHO AND FORMER METS PITCHER DJ CARRASCO; wishing the best for Hall of Fame manager Tommy Lasorda. SNY.tv and WFAN.com correspondent Rich Coutinho discusses the importance of today's Mets win over the Nationals. Where does the Mets rotation rank among the rest in the NL East? MLB? a case why the Mets bullpen is better than people think. The Mets role players are 1) better than we anticipated, 2) providing the team with depth most didn't think they had and 3) outperforming the Phillies role players. Can the Phillies handle this type of adversity? John is later joined by former New York Mets pitcher DJ Carrasco. They talk about what DJ is up to now that he is not pitching for the Mets anymore as well as whether DJ got a fair chance this year to remain with the Mets. Did DJ enjoy his time in NY? Would he ultimately prefer to be a starting pitcher or a reliever? I close by asking him honestly if he hit Brewers OF Ryan Braun on purpose.
