Bisons Recap

Wed, 03 Jun 2009 08:48:15 -0500

Last night the Buffalo Bisons beat the first place Norfolk Tides at Harbor Park in Norfolk, VA. Nelson Figueroa (1-4, 3.17) pitched 7.2 innings, allowing just one run on three hits while walking one and striking out three.Some thoughts:Nelson Figueroa should be in New York, and Tim Redding should be in the bullpen.Wily Mo Pena is a big dude, and he hits every ball hard.Javier Valentin left the game in the fifth inning with a sore right shoulder.Who the hell is Jason Cooper?Emil Brown has an a...

Reports indicate that the Mets will decide tomorrow whether they will call someone up to replace Ramon Martinez or wait for Jose Reyes to return on Friday.Even if Carlos Beltran returns to the line-up, after spending the last four days sick with a stomach virus, his effectiveness will certainly be in question. And lets not forget that their biggest power threat, Gary Sheffield is playing on a sore knee. I simply feel that the Mets need to promote an offensive player, and not a defensive playe...

We don't have a short stop

Tue, 26 May 2009 13:12:33 -0500

The Mets truly don't have a short stop...Jose Reyes proclaimed that he would not be in the line-up on Monday and there's no telling when the All-Star short stop will return.His back-up Alex Cora is already on the disabled list, after tearing a tendon in his throwing thumb.Ramon Martinez rushed back from hernia surgery, Assistant GM John Ricco said, normally Martinez would still be rehabbing in single A, from such an injury. After recording four errors, in four games; Martinez came bac...

Jonathan Malo, next in line to fill-in at SS ?

Thu, 21 May 2009 19:37:43 -0500

Ramon Martinez did a decent job filling in at second base at the end of last season, when the beleaguered Luis Castillo could no longer be counted upon, but he has been absolutely awful, in all aspects of the game at short stop.Martinez has made several routine plays into errors, he can barely throw the ball to first base and Wright has ranged, well into short on several balls, in his attempt to cover up for the fill-in short stop. With Reyes day-to-day due to tendinitis (source NY Post) in h...

Mets bring 10 North

Mon, 06 Apr 2009 11:56:59 -0500

It may feel like the end of spring training but technically rosters don't have to be trimmed until after Saturday's second exhibition game. The Mets have decided to carry 10 extra players for these two games, most of them are players who will see time with the major league team at some point this season and need to get a feel for Citi Field....Pitchers Dillon Gee, Mike Antonini, Nelson Figueroa, Ken Takahashi and Jose Sanchez, catchers Josh Thole and Omir Santos, and position players ...

SI, Names to Remember, and Clarifying my Joba Position

Wed, 01 Apr 2009 07:08:17 -0500

- Somehow I believe the Yankees will need Mark Melancon, David Robertson, Brett Tomko, and Phil Hughes to do something significant for them at some point. The Mets will call to Bobby Kielty, Dillon Gee, Jonathan Malo, and yes even Freddy Garcia before the season ends. - With all the excitement of the new ballparks the [...]

Game Recap: Mets 9 -- Marlins 2

Tue, 31 Mar 2009 22:14:07 -0500

It seems the Mets are ready for the start of the season.On The MoundJohn Maine made the start, going 5 2-3 innings allowing two runs. He allowed one home run, a solo shot from Cody Ross. Maine let up six hits and one walk while striking out three. He seems to be accepting the tweaks well. He threw 83 pitches, so if it was the regular season, I could see him going 7 innings if he's not struggling.Pedro Feliciano finished out the sixth inning, striking out the sole batter he faced. Sean Gre...

Another Murphy ?

Sat, 28 Mar 2009 00:53:13 -0500

Dan Murphy is set to start the season as the Mets starting left fielder and is hitting .357 this spring. Murphy has gained the trust of the manager to the extent that he was scheduled to sit tonight against a tough lefty but instead started and while he struggled in the field, he went 3-4 with two RBIs. What's amazing about Murphy is not only was he in AA a year ago but he wasn't listed on anyones prospect list. I can understand how his glove could drop his ranking but how could every...

Game Recap: Tigers 10 -- Mets 6

Wed, 25 Mar 2009 16:28:23 -0500

The Mets were down early, came back, then let the lead slip away again.On The MoundOliver Perez was roughed up by the Tigers today at Tradition Field. Tagged for six earned runs in 3 2/3 innings, Perez allowed five hits and walked six while on the bump. He did strike out four.Yeesh. Hopefully it's just Perez adjusting his mechanics under Dan Warthen.Ron Villone, making a play for the bullpen, also struggled. Four earned runs in only one inning, as he gave up four hits and walked one.Doubl...
