It amazes me that over the many years I've been a Mets fan, no matter who was on the team, the Mets cannot beat rookie/young pitchers. Already this season the Mets have lost to Kyle Davis (twice, the second time he didn't pitch well), Clay Hensley, Matt Cain (he's a top prospect) and now Michael O'Connor.
They only got two hits off him, one of which was the LoDuca home run.
The Mets should send John Maine back to Norfolk, and he doesn't even live there.
Delgado reminds me of Cerrano more each day. Curveball, bats are 'fraid.
I hate Mike Stanton.
Two home runs for Beltran since coming back. Let's hope he can keep it up.
Bring on the Buccos, too bad we are facing Ian Snell and Paul Maholm.
Luckily we have Pedro and Glavine going. But that means those are the two pitchers who WON'T pitch against the Braves this weekend.
My sister is going to tonight's game to see Pedro because my brother in law has several Pirates (Burnitz, Casey, the shortstop Wilson) on his fantasy team. Maybe we can get her to contribute a recap.
I totally agree with you on the rookie pitchers. They've been doing that forever! This dates back to when the Pirates were good, before there were Central divisions. It includes the Braves kids, Glavine and Avery, etc etc. Nice call.
ReplyDeleteOuch, No Pedro or Glavine against the Braves! Uh oh...
