Instead they were gonna pitch him game 2 which lines him up for game 7 (the home opener) on completely normal rest.

But now they don't want him pitching the home opener either cause they're afraid he'll be "too amped up" or "try to do too much". Come on.

So he's now on track to pitch the third game of the season, which makes me salty as that's a Thursday day game I won't be able to watch. w/e there's plenty of baseball after that, I just love to watch that dude pitch and missed him last year.
I posted this about a month ago, and now that the rotation plans are officially set the NY media has gone into its typical sensationalist outrage. Boomer and Carton went on WFAN and claimed the Mets have "ruined" Opening Day and killed any excitement for it by starting Bartolo Colon against Max Scherzer. They do realize it's just game 1 of 162, right?
