Mets Post Game: A’s 7, Mets 3

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.

Grade for the Game: B-

 

Video Week: Finale

We have had a variety of videos throughout this week. We have had everything from great plays, mashups, interesting science, and funny videos. I did a lot of debating on this video and actually, it was not in my original 7 to show you guys. But, when I found it, it was perfect. So here it is, the all-time MLB highlights. It personally gives me chills.

Mets Post Game: Mets 4, D-Backs 1

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.
