Mets Post Game: Mets 6, Dodgers 3

The Numbers:

  • Jon Niese started for the Mets and went 5 2/3 innings while giving up 7 hits, 3 runs, 3 walks, and 5 strikeouts.
  • Ike Davis hit a line drive homerun into right field. It was a bullet.
  • Jason Pridie somehow still has power as he hit his 3rd big league homer. A go-ahead 3 run homer.
  • Jose Reyes went 3 for 4 with 2 triples and a double.
  • Jason Bay had 2 hits and an RBI single.
  • Carlos Beltran had a hit and a sac fly.

Ike Davis’ homers always go farther than expected. He gets amazing carry on his balls. This one didn’t need it, it got out in a hurry.

Jon Niese struggled in the first, but really settled down afterwards. After a 30 pitch first he got through 5 2/3 and could have gone 6.

The bullpen was great tonight. Iggy, Izzy, and Frankie all pitched well.

Jose Reyes is electric. Seriously he is an amazing player. I can’t describe the emotion and energy when he is in the lineup.

The Mets are 9-3 with Jason Bay in the lineup.

Grade for the Game: B+

Mets Post Game: Nationals 4, Mets 3

The Numbers:

  • Chris Capuano started for the Mets and went 5 2/3 innings. He let up 10 hits, 4 runs, 0 walks, 2 strikeouts.
  • Byrdak pitched a scoreless 1/3 of an inning and Beato pitched 2 scoreless innings.
  • Ike Davis went 2 for 4 with an RBI double.
  • Reyes had 2 hits a double and a sac fly and David Wright went 0 for 4 with an RBI groundout.
  • Josh Thole had 3 hits.

Chris Capuano tonight was good for a 5th starter as he kept the Mets in the game. I like how he did not walk anyone, but was concerned over the 10 hits.

Ike Davis is hitting over .350 and it’s almost the end of April.

The Mets are still playing well, but just missed out today. 1 hit with RISP and they win today’s game.

The winning streak had to end sometime, let’s start a new one in Philly!

Grade for the Game: B

Mets Post Game: Mets 6, Nationals 4

The Numbers:

  • Chris Young started and went 4 2/3 innings while letting up 4 hits, 3 runs, 2 walks, and 3 strikeouts.
  • Ike Davis went 3 for 4 with a double and 2 runs scored.
  • Jason Bay went 2 for 4 with 2 runs scored.
  • Murphy and Beltran both hit doubles.
  • Thole hit the game winning go ahead double in the 6th to get the Mets a lead.
  • Pridie had 2 hits and Wright hit an RBI groundout.
  • Igarashi pitched 1/3 scoreless innings and Buchholz pitched 2 scoreless.
  • Izzy pitched an inning and gave up a run. K-Rod nailed it down in the 9th.

I was the most impressed today about Beltran. His double in my mind should have been a triple that he ran out well, but they gave Werth an error.

The ‘Pen looks better everytime out.

Young did have some rust, but you expect that after not pitching in a game for awhile. I expect him to be fine.

Ike Davis does something great everynight, as he made a great play to end the game tonight.

The 2 run double by Thole could turn him around this year.

That’s 5 in a row, Let’s keep it goin!

Mets Post Game’s: Braves 4 Mets 2, Braves 4 Mets 0

Game 1 Numbers:

  • Carrasco started and went 3 2/3 innings, 4hits, 3 runs,  3 walks, and 2 strikeouts.
  • Misch gave up a run in 2 innings of work today.
  • Igarashi and Parnell had scoreless outings, Igarashi went 1/3 of and inning and Parnell went 2 innings.
  • Reyes and Harris each had RBI hits.
  • Beltran, Pagan, Thole, and Hairston all had hits.

Game 2 Numbers:

  • Harris and Murphy had the only 2 hits of game 2.
  • Mike Pelfrey started and went 5 innings, 11 hits, 4 runs, 1 walk, and 3 strikeouts.
  • Pedro Beato pitched 2 perfect innings striking out 3.
  • Buchholz pitched a perfect inning striking out 1.

Daniel Murphy tried to steal 3rd with 0 outs and was thrown out by a mile. Are you kidding me? Down by 3 runs also? Unacceptable.

Carrasco was ok in a spot start, but Mike Pelfrey gave up 11 hits. That’s way to many in 5 innings of work.

The  Mets can’t throw out a baserunner.

TOO MANY MENTAL MISTAKES.

On a brighter note, Pedro Beato has been great all season long.

Also, are you freaking kidding me Braves?  Scheduling a double-header against a team that just had one on Thursday. That is just ridiculous. Don’t get me wrong, I’m not making excuses. I just thought what the Braves did was cheap and childish, trying to take advantage of a tired team and frankly, risking the health of some players. I would be fine if it was a Central team because the Mets would not have come back there. But, no they come back to Atlanta ALOT. I’m sorry but this whole day was completely bull, the Mets played awful but I am just pissed off at the Braves. The commissioners office should defiantly do something about this.
