Mets 5 – Tigers 0 June 23, 2010

May 25, 2010 - New York, United States - epa02173153 New York Met Pitcher R.A. Dickey pitches in the fourth inning against the Philadelphia Phillies, in Flushing New York, USA, 25 May 2010.

http://view.picapp.com//JavaScripts/OTIjs.jsTonight’s game was defined by another outstanding start by R.A. Dickey. He went 8 IP and only gave up 4 hits and 0 runs. The Tigers couldn’t do anything against him. It’s incredible that he keeps this run going.

Also, Angel Pagan left the game in the fifth inning with a muscle spasm. Hopefully, he won’t be out for too long. He’s been playing so well this year.

The Mets offense was solid with 8 hits and 4 walks. Jose Reyes was 3 for 4 with 3 runs and 1 RBI, just a double short of the cycle. Ike Davis was 2 for 4 with 2 RBI’s.

The Mets are on fire at home and go for the sweep tomorrow night against the Tigers.

Jeremy Bonderman (3-4 4.06) vs R.A. Dickey (5-0 2.82)

TV: SNY, ESPN   Radio: WFAN

What to watch: Bonderman’s last two starts have been very good. He’s given up 4 ER over 14 IP but it was against the Nats and Pirates. We all know what Dickey’s been doing this season. I keep hoping he can keep the magic going for one more start.

Mets 6 – Indians 4 June 17, 2010

June 16, 2010 - Cleveland, OHIO, UNITED STATES - epa02206096 Jose Reyes of the New York Mets tosses his glove in the air during the eighth inning against the Cleveland Indians in their game at Progressive Field in Cleveland, Ohio, USA, 16 June 2010. The Mets defeated the Indians 8-4.

http://view.picapp.com//JavaScripts/OTIjs.jsThe Mets got another quality start from R.A. Dickey who went 6 innings and gave up 3 runs (2 earned). He went to 5-0 with his fifth consecutive win. He’s had quite a few baserunners with a 1.41 WHIP but really seems to bear down and get out of trouble keeping his ERA at 2.82.

The offense was rocking again with 14 hits and 2 walks. They scored 3 runs in the first inning and were off and running. Jose Reyes had a big game going 3 for 5 with 2 runs, 1 RBI, 1 double, and 1 triple. He also made a couple of really nice plays in the field. He looks like the old Reyes.

The Mets swept their second consecutive road series and start up three games in the Bronx tomorrow night.

R.A. Dickey and Jason Bay Over-Under

NEW YORK - JANUARY 05: (L-R) General Manager ...

The offseason leading into this spring might have been the most stressful I can remember. There was an eery silence coming from Jason Bay and his agent and Bengie Molina was still balking at the one year deal on the table. The holiday season had Mets fans begging for some free agent to sign or for Omar Minaya to pull off a trade with The Reds. Just when the tension became unbearable…it happened. The news hit that Minaya signed R.A. Dickey to a minor league contract.

At that moment, I thought Mike Francesa’s phone lines would burst into flames due to raging Mets fans. We were opening our windows at work and screaming in frustration. I was ready to move to some country that had never heard of baseball. Everyone understood the necessity of acquiring some depth. It just would have been nicer to know Jason Bay was locked down before Alex Cora was counting his millions. Continue reading “R.A. Dickey and Jason Bay Over-Under”

http://view.picapp.com//JavaScripts/OTIjs.jsThe Mets put up one run in the top of the first inning on a David Wright RBI single and they never looked back. The Orioles are just a terrible team and it’s a good time to beat up on a team during a road trip. R.A. Dickey was very solid again. I keep waiting for the other shoe to drop with him and it isn’t happening. Tonight he went 7 IP allowing 1 run and had a career high 8 strikeouts. The knuckler was moving. Rod Barajas had 2 passed balls and Dickey had a wild pitch that allowed the O’s to score their only run.

The Mets offense was solid with 10 hits and 1 walk. The big blast was a Chris Carter 3-run homer to right field in the fourth inning. Those are so rare for the Mets that it’s a shock when they get one. Wright was 3 for 4 with 2 RBI’s as well.

It’s a good way to start a three game series in Baltimore.

New York Mets (32-28) at Baltimore Orioles (17-43) 7:05 pm

R.A. Dickey (3-0 3.20) vs Jeremy Guthrie (3-6 3.71)

TV: SNY   Radio: WFAN

What to watch: The Mets get three games in Baltimore this weekend against the worst team in baseball. That should help their poor road record (8-18). Dickey has made four starts this season and the Mets have won the last three. His knuckler has been much more effective than I thought it would be. Guthrie has pitched well this season. He’s only been hit hard in a couple out of his 12 starts. He’s a victim of pitching in front of a really bad team.
