This game was the second in a row of good, well-rounded, well-played baseball. The Mets won last night 6-2.
For this game, we are going to start with the bad in this game. My only complaint is this game was the performance of Burgos. I mean, in all honesty, a relief pitcher giving up 1 run in an inning, everyone once in a while, is ok. However, Burgos allowing one run with last night, is not good because he is not shutting down batters and its going to ultimatly leave him off the 25 roster.
Now for the good, and there is a LOT of good from this game.
Oliver Perez, im going to write about him in a later post because you already know by now his pitching last night (which was good).
In other pitching news, Sosa had a strong 1-hit, no run inning.
Hitting wise. Jose Reyes was more than a spark for the offense, he was a forrest fire. He was 3-3, more importatnly, he had 3 stolen bases. More important than that, 2 of them were successive, and then he scored on a wild pitch, he practically maunfactured a run (a la jackie robinson).
Overall, there were 11 hits in this game. One of the important hits was from Castro. Not just because it was a homerun, but it shows that the depth in the catching postition is more than defense, but also can put some pop in the line up.
In other positive news, Delgado had an rbi and Beltran also had 2 rbi.
Now on to Oliver Perez. I truely believe the person u can compare Perez too is Orosco. He is the starting pitcher form of Orosco. The reason I say that is because Orosco had two sides. He was either absolutly amazing, and unstoppable, or he was just throwin beachballs. Perez is either a phenom or a disaster.
