Understanding Oliver Perez

April 22, 2007

Currently Oliver Perez is 2-1 with a 3.31 ERA. These days statistics like that are very respectable for a starting pitcher. It’s certainly not bordering on Bob Gibson territory, but respectable.
Perez’ stats don’t tell the whole story. He’s been a roller coaster ride full of extreme highs and extreme lows. I have a feeling that [...]

Wright’s Hit Streak Ends, Who Cares?

April 21, 2007

David Wright’s streak of hits in 26 consecutive games ended last night. Unless a player is closing in on Pete Rose’s NL record 44 games, or Joe DiMaggio’s major league record 56 games it really doesn’t matter. Who cares?
The Mets dropped one to the Braves last night 7-3, moving to 2nd place behind those same [...]

Pitching Staff Comes Back to Earth

April 14, 2007

The first week of the season was like a dream. John Maine and Oliver Perez were lights out. El Duque looked like he was 30 again. This week things aren’t looking so great. The Mets are still tied for first place with the Braves at 7-3. But we can see why everyone was so concerned [...]

Need a win tonight!

April 12, 2007

The Mets really need Tom Glavine in a big way tonight.  If they lose tonight, they’ll have lost a series to the Braves and Phillies.  They can’t let that happen.  The good news is that the Nationals are coming to town.  Wow, they are so bad! I think they’ll have a losing season of historic [...]

Game 7 Review- Mets 11 Phillies 5

April 9, 2007

Maine didn’t have good control at all. He only went 4 2/3 innings and was over 100 pitches. Burgos came in to relieve him and threw gas on the fire. He gave up a three run homer to Ryan Howard. Burgos’ ERA is now a whopping  8.10.
The Mets blew the game open in the eighth [...]

Game 6 summary- Braves 3 Mets 2

April 9, 2007

Well… Heilman blew it in the eighth. I know Willie trusts him late in the game, and I do too. I guess we’ll have to keep an eye on Heilman to make sure this doesn’t become a pattern.
