Box Score

3 Standout Performances:

  1. Angel Pagan went 4 for 6 with 4 RBI including 2 doubles.
  2. Daniel Murphy drove in 4 runs on 2 clutch 2 run singles with the bases loaded and 2 outs.
  3. Jason Bay went 1 for 2 with 4 walks and an RBI single.

Wow…that is all I can say, WOW.

This team is doing everything right. They are working the count and just hitting line drives. This team is so clutch getting endless hits with 2 outs and RISP. This is the most I have enjoyed watching this team in a long time.

Pagan is starting to get some hits off of left handed pitchers, that is great for him to start getting hot.

Cap was good tonight, his only blemish was 2 Miguel Cabrera homers.

The Mets were 10-17 with 2 outs tonight, that is a huge number.

I am Speechless…the AMAZIN’ METS ARE BACK!!!!

By the Numbers:

  • Dillon Gee was amazing tonight going 7 innings, letting up 0 runs on 4 hits. He walked 2 and struck out 2.
  • Jose Reyes hit a bases clearing 3 run triple to extend the lead.
  • Jason Pridie had a pinch hit single.
  • Justin Turner had a hit and a sac fly.
  • Murphy and Thole had 2 hits a piece.
  • Beato pitched 1 1/3 scoreless innings while Byrdak pitched 2/3 of an inning.

Dillon Gee was great tonight as he mauled through a braves lineup through 7 innings while only throwing 85 pitches. He could have gone 9 if the Mets were not rallying in the 7th. He is defiantly, if not the frontrunner, in the conversation for NL Rookie of the Year.

Jose Reyes is the most exciting player in baseball. Period.

Jason Pridie had such a clutch pinch hit today. He has been great so far this year.

Justin Turner just continues to produce for this team.

By the Numbers:

  • Chris Capuano went 6+ innings, let up 8 hits, 5 runs, 1 walk, and 2 strikeouts.
  • Justin Turner hit a homer tonight, that is bigger than it sounds.
  • Ruben Tejada had 2 hits and 2 RBIs.
  • Beltran and Murphy each had 2 hits also.
  • Beato let up 3 runs in one inning while Dale Thayer had a scoreless outing.

Chris Capuano pitched SO much better than  his line. Once again he had a shutout through 6 innings and then just fell apart in the 7th.

Justin Turner’s homer ended a 10 game drought for the Mets today If you think about it they is at least 97 homerless innings.

Ruben Tejada has produced so well offensively for him, he has been great all year.

The Mets are just going through one blow up inning per game. It was the 7th and 8th tonight. Our bullpen just flat out sucks lately. They need to get their act back together.

The Numbers:

  • Dillon Gee pitched a 6 inning complete game going 6 innings letting up 4 hits, 4 runs, 2 walks, and 4 strikeouts.
  • Every Met starter, besides the pitcher, had a base hit tonight.
  • Carlos Beltran had 2 hits including a double and triple while driving in 2.
  • Tejada, Reyes, and Pridie had 2 hits each.
  • Turner drove in 1 run, Thole drove in 1, and Murphy drove in 2.

That was a nice and easy complete game for Gee. He was great after the first inning where he let up nothing over the next 5. The Mets are 6-0 in his starts.

Great offense tonight although they were helped by taking 12 straight balls including 2 bases loaded walks.

Everybody contributed tonight and they moved runners and did not need the long ball to drive guys in. Great effort all around.

The Numbers:

  • Dillon Gee started for the Mets and went 5 2/3 good innings letting up 7 hit, 2 runs, 3 walks, and 3 strikeouts.
  • Justin Turner hit a go ahead, pinch hit, 400 ft, 2 run single to give the Mets the lead in the bottom of the 8th.
  • Jason Pridie went 3 for 3 with a double and 2 runs scored.
  •  Reyes went had 2 hits and an RBI single.
  • Wright, Beltran, and Murphy each had a hit tonight.
  • O’Connor, Iggy, Byrdak, and K-Rod all had scoreless outings.

For being a spot starter, and a guy who needs awhile to warm up, Dillon Gee pitched great. 5 1/3 innings and kept the Mets in the game, that is all you can ask in a situation like that.

Turner’s “single” was huge tonight. I put single in quotes because it was 400ft deep into center field. My guess is that he starts tomorrow against Kershaw.

The amazing Reyes scuffled a little on the basepaths, but in all he had another good game. He is starting to get those hits with RISP.

The bullpen was fantastic tonight, especially getting out of their own jams.

Jason Pridie continues to surprise me, he just continues to make good plays in center, and hit a little bit to the surprise of most.

Also, the Mets ended Andre Ethier’s hitting streak at 30 tonight.

The Numbers:

  • Big Pelf started for the Mets and had his longest outing of the year of 7 2/3 4 hits, 2 runs, (1 earned), 2 walks, and 5 strikeouts.
  • Carlos Beltran went 1 for 4 with a 2 run homer.
  • Jose Reyes went 1 for 4 with a 2 run triple.
  • Wright, Bay, and Ike also had hits.
  • K-Rod shut the door with a very shaky 4 out save.

Mike Pelfrey actually looked like a legitimate major league baseball pitcher today as he worked through the Giant lineup with ease. He had some shaky innings but got out of them nearly unharmed. I liked what I saw today.

Throwback Beltran so far this year. He has already hit 6 homers and is hitting nearly .300 on the year.

K-Rod almost killed me…again.

It seems the Mets only win when Jason Bay comes back from a stint. Whether it is off the DL or paternity list, they look different with him.

The Numbers:

  • R.A. Dickey pitched 6 ok innings tonight and let up 7 hits, 5 runs, 1 walk, and 1 strikeout.
  • Jose Reyes went 3 for 3 with 3 walks, a double, and an RBI.
  • Gee and Izzy got through the 7th and 8th While K-Rod got out of a 1st and 3rd 0 out jam unharmed in the 9th.
  • Buchholz gave up the go ahead homer in the 10th to Aubrey Huff.
  • Carlos Beltran went 2 for 4 with a 3 run homer.
  • Ike Davis went 1 for 4 with a 2 run homer.
  • Wright and Pridie had a hit each while Thole got 3 hits.

This was a game that the Mets should have won. They had bases loaded and 1 out in the bottom of the 9th and grounded into a double play. Clearly a shame.

Jose Reyes was spectacular getting on base 6 straight times today. If he can play like that, Sandy will surely try and resign him.

Ike Davis and Carlos Beltran both hit rockets, Carlos’ was a liner, and Ike’s was normal for him…a bomb.

R.A. Dickey looked great through 3, but those 4th and 5th innings where he gave up 6 runs they just killed him. The Giants just hit everything up the middle.

Even with the homer, the bullpen still pitched very well.

The Numbers:

  • Mike Pelfrey started and posted a line of 7 innings, 5 hits, 1 run, 2 walks, and 4 strikeouts.
  • Ike Davis hit a go ahead 2 run home run in the 7th inning that just cleared the orange line in center field.
  • Carlos Beltran went 1 for 3 with an RBI single.
  • Jason Bay hit a double and struck out twice.
  • Reyes, Murphy, and Nickeas also had hits tonight.
  • Wright went o for 2 with 2 walks and a steal.
  • Izzy pitched a scoreless 8th and K-Rod pitched a scoreless 9th to get the save.

This was a huge start for Mike Pelfrey, after runners were on first and third with nobody out to start the game, he retired the side without a run scoring including a strikeout of Justin Upton. This was also a team that he has never beat, until tonight. He looked so much better tonight than he has all of this year. Hopefully this will stay.

Ike has been such a clutch hitter all year hitting a huge homer to straight away center field. He is leading the Mets in RBI this season.

This lineup looks more confident with Bay in that they feel they can score whenever. Hopefully Bay can show us some power this year.

Izzy has been a force in the ‘pen this year showing that he is not done yet in the majors.
