…one day this team gets stellar pitching and no offense, and the next day they get the offense, and no pitching…Nieve was disappointing, especially in the first inning when he allowed all of the runners to reach base with two outs, and then getting slammed like that…he’s basically a fastball/slider pitcher, and he’s going to have trouble being successful without a good third pitch in his repertoire…
…i know Perez is on the roster, and he’s been relegated to long relief, but he can’t even do that well…i would rather the Mets had tried and piece the game together with a combination involving Raul Valdes, because the Mets were down just two runs before Perez let up the two run homer to Hart which widened the gap even more…the Mets were able to get within a run, but its very hard to win a game when they’re spending the entire game chasing the opposition and playing catch up…
…at the time, i couldn’t believe Jerry Manuel decided to use Gary Matthews Jr. as a pinch hitter with the bases loaded and two outs in the third inning and not anyone else…but after thinking about it, i realized it might have been a better idea to use him there rather than, say, Chris Carter, than use Carter in that spot and Matthews later in the game in a critical, run scoring situation…of course, the point was moot in the end, as nobody reached base after the fifth inning, but the problem could be solved altogether if the Mets could figure out an alternative to Matthews on the bench…
…Wright is now hitting .244 on the season…unreal…his approach against John Axford in the ninth inning was not good, considering he was ahead in the count 2-0 and he swung at a pitch out of the strike zone and flew out to centerfield…it’s a situation where he needs to get on base in whatever way he can, yet he went outside of the hitting zone and was unproductive…frustrating to say the least…
Ike is sitting today and Tatis will hit cleanup.........................why?
Peter Gammons was a guest of Mike Francesa on WFAN today.
According to Gammons, Scott Boras approached the Mets a few weeks ago and asked them to put Oliver Perez on the disabled list, send him to Florida and have him work with renowned sports psychologist Harvey Dorfman.
However, Jeff Wilpon declined, says Gammons, ‘because he didn’t think that was appropriate, or necessary.’
Perez has since declined the team’s request to go to the minor leagues.
In either case, Gammons believes the Wilpon, Omar Minaya and Scott Boras will find a solution.
