I've seen enough!!!! Can we bring somebody else up to pitch for Leiter the next time around? This guy sucked with the Mariners and was horrible yesterday giving up 8 runs in 2+ innings. I don't want to see him again!

How bad must Grant Roberts be if they called up Hinchliffe before him? Of course, as bad as Hinchliffe's start was against the Brewers, it was better than Roberts's first start in a Mets uniform against Montreal last year. At least Hinchliffe made it out of the first inning.

While scoring last night's 3-0 Met win against Milwaukee, I heard Bob Murphy mention the game that Hinchliffe started against the Brew Crew earlier this year.
"He has never been heard from again," said Murph. I think 99 and 44/100th percent of Met fans (including myself) prefer it this way.
Sorry, Brett; it's nothing personal. Just business.

Brett is a fantastic athlete; give him another chance!

I was just browsing this site and Brett's name reminded me of the time I drove all the way to Milwaukee to see Miller Park and it would have been my first game to see Al Leiter start. Unfortunately, it happened to be Hinchliff and I saw 8 home runs that game.

For his career, 0-5 with an ERA of 10.22.

Not sure what the Mets saw in this guy to call him up so soon in the 2001 season. He wasn't some young phenom (26 when he was in NY) and he wasn't good in his initial MLB tries (0-4, 8.63 combined) and he was just an okay minor league pitcher (multiple 10-win seasons, multiple ERAs over 4) ... yet he was in the majors with the Mets before May. And the result was terrible.
His single game with New York was the last of his big league career and '01 was the end of his pro career.
