Well its spring training, and the games dont count…but i cant help to feel sad each time I look at the boxscore.
Today the Mets lost 9-5, now in this dark streak of losses, there were a few bright spots and a few dark spots.
Lets start with batting…because today there were two big accomplishments.
First off, CARLOS BELTRAN HAD HIS FIRST HOMERUN OF THE SPRING SEASON. He also doubled his RBI for the spring, which is now at 4…so this was a good thing.
In other news, Green had two hits, with an RBI. So yesterday he had 1, today he had 2…by pattern, tommorow he should have 3…it might now work that way but lets hope.
Alou also had a double today. More importantly, Alou had an RBI double off a left handed pitcher, showing off what Alou is good at.
There were 11 hits today, so check out …including a stolen base by milledge
Now for the pitching.
The GOOD: John Maine 3 innings, 3 hits, 3 SO's, 0 ER, spring ERA = 0. Wagner, shutout inning.
The BAD: Heilman, 4 ER in one inning…UGH…come on man……there is so much talent in the bullpen, but similar to the outfield postion, incumbents will get the upper hand. and Humber allowed 3 runs as well…which is also frustrating.
So after reading that…you probably need some relief of some sort. Check out http://www.dailybaseball.blogspot.com
