The New York Mets (11-9) were absolutely crushed by the Colorado Rockies (10-9) by the score of 18 to 9 at Coors Field in Denver last night.
Chris Schwinden, taking Mike Pelfrey’s spot in the rotation, made his first big league start of the season. I don’t mean to be a downer here, but I expected Schwinden to be terrible and he was terrible. In his starts last season with the Mets he was so bad, and he was not very good at big league Spring Training either.
Manny Acosta has not been able to duplicate his 2011 season in the slightest. In fact, he allowed seven earned runs on five hits in just 1/3 of an inning. His ERA is now 9.31.
Miguel Batista pitched two run-less outs and Tim Byrdak did as well. However, Ramon Ramirez allowed three earned runs (one unearned) on four hits in 1 2/3 innings pitched, and Bobby Parnell allowed a run on three hits (on a homer) in 2/3 of an inning pitched.
So basically the Mets pitchers allowed 16 earned runs on top of the two unearned runs.

As it is looking more and more like a certainty that Mike Pelfrey will undergo Tommy John surgery and miss the rest of the 2012 season, it is time to wonder if the start that Pelfrey made on April 21 was the last time that we will see him in a New York Mets uniform.
It seemed as if Pelfrey had figured things out through the early part of the year. He looked good in his first three...

Mets starter Mike Pelfrey has a partial tear in his right elbow and is “99 percent” certain he will have re-constructive Tommy John surgery that will sideline him until next year.
The team made the announcement about its up-until-now durable pitcher shortly after New York beat the Miami Marlins 3-2 Thursday.

We’ve just been informed that Mike Pelfrey will undergo Tommy John Surgery on his right elbow, and miss the remainder of the season.
His recovery and return could be anywhere between 12 and 18 months depending on how the elbow responds and any setbacks. Pelfrey does have youth on his side which could bode well for him.
