One thing I remeber a lot from last year is that it always seemed when the other team made a mistake, the Mets would make them pay, a lot. Today's 8th inning was a perfect example of that. 7 runs was huge for a few reasons.
The first being that it demoralizes the Phillies, one mistake leads to 7 runs, not many teams can hit that clutch.
It adds so much moral to the Mets, knowing that they can still score, and get people home after stranding 31 runners in the last series.
The third reason would be that its just fun to watch.
Maine, not so good today, but at least he was controllable. Im hoping that it was just a rough day for Burgos and the rest of the bullpen was fine.
Delgado found his swing, and 19 games in a row for Wright. Just have to keep everything up now.
So, while many of you who read this were at the Mets Opener today, I was at the Orioles Opener. I learned that Steve Traschel gave up Roberts first major league hit. I also got to see Bradford pitch a no-hit, one walk, 1.1 innings.
I still love watching Chad pitch, its so much fun to see that sub style, Bmore hasnt had a thrower like that in a long time, so its good for everyone to see it. People were talking about it in the stands, and parents were teaching their kids about his style of pitching.
