Yardbarker: Omar Infante

Pedro needs to pitch well tonight!

Mon, 22 Sep 2008 22:25:30 -0500

Pedro Martinez has been a lame duck recently. He has not pitched well of late and needs to rebound vs the Braves today. Many wonder including myself , Is Pedro Healthy?? On the last road trip he took a flight back to New York to what he called it, "To Get loose".

I hope Pedro can pitch at least 6 strong innings today, but that might be asking to much..

In his Last 3 Games:

Date	Opponent	Score	Dec	IP	H	R	ER	HR	BB	K	W	L	SV	IP	ERA
Sep 15	@ WAS	L 2-7	L	6.0	8	4	4	0	4	3	5	5	0	97.0	5.47
Sep 7	PHI	L 2-6	L	4.0	7	6	6	1	1	1	5	4	0	91.0	5.44
Aug 31	@ FLA	W 6-2	W	6.0	7	2	2	0	1	4	5	3	0	87.0	5.07

His last quality start was 8/31 vs FLA...

Getting to tonight, he will face the Atlanta Braves where he has pitched well...

Big Pelf: Numbers are against him..

Mon, 22 Sep 2008 22:25:27 -0500

Mike Pelfrey pitches in another big game. At this point every game is a big game. The Mets will finish the season series with the Braves today.

Here is Mike Pelfrey's breakdown:

Next Game: Sun, Sep 21 at Atlanta Braves
SPLITS	ERA	W	L	Sv	SvO	GP	GS	CG	IP	H	R	ER	HR	BB	SO	BAA
Road (2008)	4.78	5	4	0	0	13	13	0	75.1	94	40	40	6	32	39	.318
vs. Atl (2008)	6.87	1	2	0	0	3	3	1	18.1	20	14	14	2	10	6	.290
Sept. (2008)	3.79	0	2	0	0	3	3	0	19.0	19	9	8	2	8	8	.264

Nothing to analyze, numbers speak for themselves... Mets need the offense to score runs for Mike and give him a cushion..

Here is what Mike has done against the Braves batters:

OPPOSING HITTER	AB	H	2B	3B	HR	RBI	BB	SO	BA	OBP	SLG	OPS

Totals	84	24	6	1	3	13	14	12	.286	.396	.488	.884

Mike has to keep the ball down and throw strikes. If he does that and does not walk the ballpark, Mets have a chance..

Go Mets!
