Its game 7 of the season, and I can't believe I am going to say this, but, this is a must win game. The big event tonight will be Pelfrey vs Kendrick. Each of these pitchers have faced their opponents once last year.
Pelfrey in his start vs the Phillies went 5 innings, 3.60 ERA, 2 ER, HR, 3 BB, 3 K.
Kendrick went 6.2 IP, 2.70 ERA, 2 ER, 3 BB, and no strike outs.
In terms of offense, the Mets have two key players from the Nationals who have had success against Kendrick. In 9 PA, Church has 7 AB, 3 H, HR, 2 BB, RBI, .429 BA and .556 OBP. Schneider has 5 AB, 2 H, 2B, BB, 3 RBI, .400 BA, .500 OBP. These guys combined can help fuel the Mets to victory tonight. Delgado also has success with 3 AB, 2 H, 2B, HR, RBI.
From last year to this year, it seems when Delgado does well, the rest of the team does not. I know its just coincidence, but its really weird and I hope it doesn't become one of those strange trends.
Lets Go Mets! We gotta get em tonight!
