Livan Hernandez’s chances at the fifth starter spot on the roster got stronger this morning as the Mets sent Jonathon Niese to minor league camp. A part of me was hoping they’d go with Niese and let him develop on the major league level. But with the way Hernandez has been throwing lately [...]

He Shall Be Livan
I watched a couple of innings of Livan Hernandez' start today, and DVR'ed the rest to watch later. I came away from it convinced of two things: one, that Hernandez has a huge lead in the fifth starter derby, and two, on a good day I can still bring my "fastball" a couple of mph faster than El Duque's kid brother.
Still, Hernandez keeps pitching well, and none...

Pelfrey was spectacular yesterday, furthermore showing why the Mets
have strength in their rotation, but he also showed something a little
more yesterday, his new pitch. From hanging around Livan Hernandez,
Pelfrey has developed a new sinker for left handed batters, which

Ups, Down and WTF's?
I really liked what I saw in the opening game from Carlos Gomez, Livan Hernandez and the potential for scoring runs. Â Of course last night brought all of us back to the reality that it's going to be a year of ups and downs. Â But given our circumstances walking into this season (losing our two best ...

The Washington Nationals had a rough game against the Chicago Cubs and pitcher Carlos Zambrano on Tuesday. The Nationals lost 4-0 but our very own Livan Hernandez gave everything he had and looked good in the first inning, which is where he's been having the most trouble. Hernandez will definitely be...

Well the candidates for the fifth starters spot couldn't have made things easier today. Instead of the team having to select someone by default, Livan Hernandez stepped up and made himself the clear favorite for the job while at the same time Freddy Garcia showed he simply isn't ready. Hernandez pitched five innings in which he allowed one run on five hits without allowing...

Pelfrey Looks Strong
Sorry for being a little sporadic on the posting this week. I'm buried in work.
I had a chance after dinner tonight to sit down in front of the TV and spend some quality time with this afternoon's game that I had DVR'ed. I was particularly interested in a chance to watch Mike Pelfrey pitch some substantial innings, as he is undoubtedly one of the keys to the 2009 season...

March 18, 2009
Livan Hernandez will get the start today against the Braves, but all eyes will be on Freddy Garcia in what I believe could be a make or break moment for him. Garcia is slated to follow Livan Hernandez after he finishes pitching today.
If Garcia pitches well and shows any signs of improvement from his last three efforts, than he may live to pitch another day.
However, if he fails...
