And we could do without this "new" Beltran that came over to the team - he is beginning to bring back very bad memories of another offensively impressive switch hitter who suddenly lost his mojo as a Met, except without the bad 'tude . . .one Bobby BoEh, the old Mets just weren't good. This team is good.It's very frustrating. Willie frustrates me a lot. For God's sake, please get Reyes down to the 8 hole and stick him there until he starts to walk.
Frayed Knot Old-Timey Member Posted June 19, 2005 Posted June 19, 2005 Not that it probably would have mattered in the long run ... but I really questioned the use of DeJean when he was brought in. Anyone hear an explanation as to why Heilman was yanked? The only thing I could think of was that he sat an awful long time while we had our one good half-inning and maybe Willie thought he'd stiffen or lose his effectiveness (he'd given up 2 hits the inning before). But DeJean came off as fairly gutless by sailing 4 pitches well wide of the plate while pitching to Sexson after first getting up 0-2. If he doesn't trust his stuff enough to get one even close to the zone to tempt a long-armed, free-swinger like Sexson why should we - or Willie for that matter? Of course it didn't help when Ring & Bell shit the bed right afterward.
metirish Old-Timey Member Posted June 19, 2005 Posted June 19, 2005 The thing I'm hearing on the 'Fan is that Willie is saving him for the Phillies on Tuesday, for the pen apparently, I can't explain that rational either, Heilman was pitching great and only threw 20 pitches.
