\nDespite the eventual result, Manaea\u2019s outing started about as bad as it possibly could. His first pitch fastball was taken deep by Royals outfielder Lane Thomas.<\/p>\n
He settled in afterward, allowing just one more earned run, another solo shot by Bobby Witt Jr. in the fourth. Manaea mostly relied on his sinker, sweeper and four-seam fastball, which topped out at 93 miles per hour. He threw just 97 pitches, one start removed from tossing 109 in Atlanta.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\nManaea allowed an unearned run in a rocky seventh inning, but Green chalked that up to fatigue, especially after spending an extended period of time on the bench during the Mets\u2019 five-run fifth.<\/p>\n
Green lauded his pitcher\u2019s ability to shake off Thomas\u2019 early blast and still produce a quality start.<\/p>\n\n\u201cAnybody that gives up a home run the first pitch and just goes right back in there all day, you just love that,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n
To Manaea, the velocity isn\u2019t what matters most. Hitting his spots and keeping hitters guessing is more important in his eyes. The speed is just a bonus.<\/p>\n\nAnd with a half a season to go, Manaea will need to replicate this outing \u2014 not just against a lowly Royals team \u2014 for the Mets to have any success going forward. Short starts have a ripple effect, something New York can\u2019t afford every five days.<\/p>\n
\u201cObviously the velo is nice, but being able to locate in and out, throwing other pitches for strikes and just attacking relentlessly, that\u2019s kind of the biggest thing,\u201d Manaea said.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n \u2018 The preceding article may include information circulated by third parties \u2019 <\/em><\/p>\n \u2018 Some details of this article were extracted from the following source www.northjersey.com \u2019 <\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Bo Bichette reaction to Mets firing Carlos Mendoza, impact on team Mets infielder Bo Bichette discusses the team’s firing of manager Carlos Mendoza Sean Manaea isn\u2019t used to going deep in games recently.
