Box Score

3 Standout Performances:

  1. Dillon Gee went 6 innings let up 6 hits, 1 run, 2 walks, and 6 strikeouts.
  2. Ruben Tejada went 2 for 4 with a triple and 2 runs scored.
  3. David Wright went 2 for 4 with 2 RBI.

Ruben Tejada has been absolutely spectacular since his recall from Buffalo. He has continued to hit and make spectacular plays like the one he did at first base. Great barehanded play by the youngster.

Dillon Gee was great tonight mixing up his pitches and keeping the fish off balance.

Manny Acosta was great, and wild tonight. He struck out 3 but was inches away from hitting Mike Stanton in the head.

Welcome back Jose!

Box Score

3 Standout Performances:

  1. Murphy went 2 for 4 with a homerun off Justin Verlander.
  2. Pelfrey started and went 4 2/3 innings and let up 8 hits, 5 runs, 4 earned, walked 5, and struck out 3.
  3. Reyes and Bay had 2 hits a piece.

Pelfrey flat out was terrible today. He did not have an out pitch. It was just foul ball after foul ball after foul ball. He didn’t throw inside at all and was afraid of his fastball.

Murphy is such an underrated hitter in the NL. He is over .300 with 5 homers this year. He is a great hitter.

The bullpen was great not allowing a run through 4 1/3 innings pitched.

Verlander was just too much for the Mets today. Go get the Yankees tomorrow.

Box Score

3 Standout Performances:

  1. Jason Bay went 3 for 3 with a walk, triple, and Homer. He almost had 2 homers, but video review showed the ball hitting off Crisps glove, not the wall in center.
  2. Dillon Gee had no control tonight going 4 innings, letting up 4 runs, and walked 6.
  3. Jose Reyes went 0 for 5 with 5 flyballs.

Dillon Gee just could not throw a strike tonight. He only gave up 3 hits, just a ton of walks.This was his first bad start of the year.

The Mets walked 2 with the bases loaded. That is simply unacceptable…strikes are a MUST in today’s game.

Jason Bay could have broken out of his rut today. 3 hits and almost 2 home runs. Hopefully this will jumpstart his season for the Mets.

3 Standout Performances:

  1. Angel Pagan went 2 for 4 with 2 RBI singles.
  2. Ronny Paulino had 2 doubles and an RBI.
  3. Capuano gave up 3 runs(2 earned) on 8 hits over 6 innings. He walked 3 and struck out 5.

You could tell the team felt the pressure from that loss last night. They just didn’t look the same as they did on that roadtrip. Hopefully, that will be gone by tomorrow.

Ronny Paulino has hit great all year long, he drove 2 doubles today, one in the gap and one down the line. He has been great so far this year.

Pagan is a different hitter since his return from the DL.

I am making no excuses, but Jordan Walden (the Angels closer) has filthy stuff. That slider of his is nearly unhittable. I tip my hat to him.

This team has so much more fight that we did last year.

Changing the post game report for hopefully the last time. Hopefully this will give me more time for opinion and less stat oriented recaps. With the old format I felt like I was typing the box score which took too much time when it could just be linked in.  Tell me if you like it or not.

3 standout performances:

  1. R.A. Dickey struggled with his control all night giving up 6 runs (4 earned) on 6 hits while he walked 3 and struck out 4. His outing only lasted 4 innings.
  2. Jason Bay had 2 hits tonight including an RBI single.
  3. Scott Hairston had 2 hits including a game tying 3 run homer.

HONERABLE MEANTION: Jose Reyes went 3 for 6 with a triple and a steal.

Dickey had a lot of trouble with his knuckler tonight. He could not control where it went and that is how he got into 3 earned runs. He got into a 3-0 count with 3 knucklers on Chipper and he teed off on a fastball.

Bay had a good game tonight, he got a nice RBI hit through the right side and who knows, this could get him back on track.

That was a huge homer by Hairston tonight, got this team back in the game when they were down by 3.

You can’t be mad at K-Rod for the blown save, he hadn’t blown one since the second game of the season. He can have this one..I give him 0 blame for this one based on his great outings in save situations.

I know the bad play by Duda set the entire end of the game up, but who could  place full blame  for the game on him? I mean you can blame him because he made a mistake, but this was his 5th or so career start at first base. He is not used to what plays he can and can not make. I know he made 200 or so starts at first in the minors but, the major league games go so much faster he was trying to over compensate because of the fast runner going to first. His play did not set me off.

Now for Carrasco…oh no. This could get ugly. The first pitch to Heyward, first of all, should have been crushed, we got lucky on that swingthrough. He should have pitched around Heyward to pitch to the nobody third baseman who luckily hit a homer off K-Rod in Citi Field earlier. Now for the balk, It was terrible to balk in that situation. (No Duh!) You can’t flinch like that on the mound in that situation and a veteran like Carrasco should know that.

By the Numbers:

  • Dillon Gee went 8 magnificent innings letting up 8 hits, 1 run, no walks, and 5 strikeouts.
  • Jose Reyes went 3 for 5 with a solo homer.
  • Angel Pagan had a double, triple, and RBI tonight.
  • Justin Turner had a 2 run single.
  • Lucas Duda had an RBI single and Sac fly.
  • Josh Thole had 3 hits and an RBI.
  • Carlos Beltran also had an RBI and a hit.

Dillon Gee is just a great all around pitcher. He does not have ace like stuff but, he is surely pitching like an ace this year. He simply knows how to pitch and can execute even after a rough first. A 7-0 start for arguably the most underrated rookie on the season.

For some reason the Mets can rake against Charlie Morton when no other team can, now if only they could hit the ACTUAL Halladay…

Jose Reyes….you guys know the drill. AMAZING!

Josh Thole and Ruben Tejada have really turned it on this year hitting very well at positions the Mets were unsure of coming into the year.

Lucas Duda looks like a different hitter from earlier this year. He has so much power and he hit the ball so much harder than a 1 for 4 night tonight.

I love watching this non-power lineup for the Mets, getting hits with runners on has been where they have thrived during this good stretch for the offense. Power baseball is exciting, but line drives and singles can be great too.

By the Numbers:

  • Jon Niese started and went 7 2/3 innings letting up 3 hits, 1 run, 4 walks, and 8 strikeouts.
  • Ruben Tejada had 2 hits including an RBI single.
  • Angel Pagan had 2 hits, an RBI single and a Triple.
  • Beltran and Turner had 2 hits each.
  • Murphy and Pridie had a hit and RBI each.
  • K-Rod got a 4 out save, striking out 2.

Jon Niese was great tonight tying his career high in strikeouts, working efficiently, and getting out of jams. His only problem was the 4 walks tonight and the RBI double by Fielder. He threw a career high in curveballs which was the key to his success tonight.

It’s kinda funny that Jose Reyes was the only hitless Met position player tonight.

The Mets are winning during this power outage because of key hitting, stealing bases, and their starting pitching. Entering the game since May 20th the Mets are 1st in batting average and 3rd in average with RISP. Homers mean nothing, runs do.

Ruben Tejada looks like a different hitter from last year, he is no longer overmatched at the plate and is showing that he could take the starting 2nd base spot when Wright and Ike return.

The Mets took 2 of 3 from the team with the best home record in baseball…now that is a statement.

By the Numbers:

  • Chris Capuano started  and went 6 innings while letting up 6 hits, 1 run, 2 walks, and 5 strikeouts.
  • Jose Reyes had 2 MORE hits today including a go ahead 2 run triple.
  • Tejada had 2 hits and Pagan had 1.
  • Beato, Izzy, and K-Rod pitched a scoreless inning each.
  • Beltran had no hits but had a homer robbed from him.

Cap was great in his return to Milwaukee. He threw strikes got big outs, that is shown by how he struck out Braun twice.

I know Shaq retired it during his retirement speech, but Jose Reyes is superman. He can FLY.

Jason Bay is at 0 for 20….Year and a half long slump, come on man!

The ‘pen really stepped up today going 9 up 9 down.

Hat tip to former Met Carlos Gomez, that was a great play on Beltran’s ball.

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:

  • Jon Niese was spectacular going 7 2/3 innings while letting up 2 runs on 8 hits, walking 1, and striking out 7 Braves.
  • Jose Reyes had his 27th multi-hit game with ANOTHER triple.
  • Pagan and Murph each had 2 hits and an RBI.
  • Carlos Beltran hit an RBI single.
  • Izzy gave up 1 unearned run in 1/3 of an inning while K-Rod let up 3 in the 9th.

Niese was great tonight and is really locking in as a left handed threat on the mound. His year ERA is now 3.75 which is great seeing what is was at after April.

These types of losses really bring a fan down, especially when they happen every single night. When a team is blowing leads at home, in front of THEIR fans, it is just an awful sight to see.

The Bullpen is simply terrible lately, I mean just awful. It seems that everyone is giving up runs left and right.

Pagan has been great since coming back from the DL and fixed exactly what was wrong with him.
