Part 2/7:
Brown emphasized the importance of Stanek's track record, especially during the playoffs, where he proved to be a reliable option for the Mets. While his overall regular-season statistics were somewhat underwhelming, with an ERA over six, his performance that mattered most was commendable. In his last twelve outings, Stanek posted a 2.92 ERA and struck out 18 batters over 12 and one-third innings, showcasing his ability to perform under pressure.
Stanek's notorious energy, illustrated by his flowing hair and fiery demeanor, was also highlighted. Brown suggested that the Mets should create a memorable entrance for him, similar to what Timmy Trumpet has done for Edwin Diaz, to further engage fans and amplify Stanek's adrenaline when he takes the mound.
