Pitcher OPS [Tweet]

This is one of those “I don’t know whether to laugh or cry” moments, isn’t it?

Also, here’s a news story on the incident.

Manuel’s Musing

“I want to do it so badly, sometimes I get a little impatient.”

-Jerry Manuel on batting Jose Reyes third

Game Recap: Mets 5 – Rockies 0

(I didn’t see an inning of the game, but I followed via MLB Gameday / At Bat.)

The Good

Seven combined hits for the 1-5 of the Mets order.  Two hits a piece from Jose Reyes, Luis Castillo and Jeff Francoeur.

David Wright’s 3 walks.  It’s not every day you walk three times.

Mike Pelfrey.  On the mound, Pelf turned in seven solid innings of shutout baseball, scattering five hits, walking none and striking out six.  This saved him from running laps around Coors Field.  Big Pelf also helped his own cause with an RBI single in the 4th.

Feliciano to K-Rod.  Pedro Feliciano worked the 8th, bridging to Francisco Rodriguez in the 9th.  Just like Jerry wrote it up.

The Bad & Ugly

6, 7, 8 of the order going hitless. Fernando Tatis, Henry Blanco and Angel Pagan all went hitless.

Baserunning.  If you saw it, you know.  If you didn’t see it, don’t bother looking it up; It was that bad.

Manuel’s Musing

“I think if we keep ourselves in games, we have a shot because of the fight that's in the club.”

-Jerry Manuel on the Mets

Game Recap: Rockies 6 – Mets 5

Welcome to the big leagues, Jenrry Mejia.

The Good

Jeff Francoeur’s hitting streak is still alive, this time due to a solo home run in the first inning.  He was even intentionally walked.

David Wright also went yard, a two-run shot in the third inning.

The Mets scratched back with runs in the 8th and 9th innings to force extra innings. 

Raul Valdes, Fernando Nieve, Pedro Feliciano and Ryota Igarashi turned in scoreless innings in relief.

Three stolen bases: Jose Reyes, Jason Bay, Gary Matthews Jr.

The Bad & Ugly

Mejia, in his first pressure situation, surrendered a leadoff home run in the bottom of the 10th inning to end the game.

Jon Niese, the starter, surrendered 9 hits and 5 earned runs in five innings of work.  He also hit two batsmen.

Mike Jacobs is a mess at first base.  That is all.

Aaron Cook, the Rockies starter, hit two doubles and scored once.

The Rockies committed three errors (should have been four).

Game Ball

Francoeur: 1-3, HR, 2 BB (Two!)

On Deck

The Mets and Rockies finish out the series tomorrow afternoon, a 3:10 p.m. start time.
