Anderson Hernandez Hit Watch

[Guest Edgy DC]

0-11

Come on, Anderson. Cut this out. Sandy Alomar called and left you a message to cut it out.

[Guest Edgy DC]

Now 0-14.

At least he has a walk and a run scored.

C'mon Anderson. Put it behind you!

[Guest Edgy DC]

Pinch single for Offerman. Castro reaches and Anderson Hernandez gets one more McCracken at the plate.

On edit: Didn't happen. Have to be tomorrow.

i was hoping Anderson would get that hit in his last AB, hopefully Willie will play him Sunday and he gets it, I swear his stance at the plate is a dead ringer for Reyes, little wiggle of the bat and all.

I hope so too.
He needs to close the season on some kind of positive note.

[Guest ScarletKnight41]

If not, it'll kill his confidence...

[Guest Edgy DC]

In the lineup this afternoon.

Let's see him do it with a bunt.

[Guest Edgy DC]

Two on, two out, two down.

Good time now, Andy.

[Guest Edgy DC]

Nyet. He's 0-2.

[Guest Edgy DC]

Time has come today, Anderson.

[Guest Edgy DC]

0-18.

[seawolf17]

Bingo! Dribbler between first and second and AH ends the season 1 for 18.

[Guest Edgy DC]

Yay!

[Guest cooby]

Sweet looking kid, too. Way to go!

[metirish]

Congrats Anderson, picked a great day to get his first hit.

[MFS62]

Did he beat Willie Mays to that first hit? Didn't Willie go o-fer 20+ AB before that homer off Spahn?

Later

[metirish]

Mays went 0 for 24.

[seawolf17]

Which means this kid is going to be about seven ABs better than Willie Mays. That's pretty impressive.

[Guest Rockin' Doc]

Let's see how well the kid does in his next 10,000+ at bats.

[Valadius]

10,000?!?!? Cripes, talk about setting expectations high. Let's see him at least get a full season in before we start talking about him joining an elite club of 23 other players in history.

[Guest Rockin' Doc]

I was trying to put the comparisons to Willie Mays in perspective. Anderson Hernandez went 1-18 in a late season call up. Regardless of how slowly Mays started his career, he did exceptionally well in the 10,000 plus at bats that followed.

I was probably being over sensitive of Anderson Hernandez being mentioned even remotely as being on par with Willie Mays. I'm just cranky about the Mets season coming to an end.

[seawolf17]

Nobody was honestly comparing AH to the Say Hey Kid. I think it was just an observation.

[Elster88]

Too bad he wasn't brought up earlier this year. I don't know what Willie and Omar were thinking. If he had replaced the Kaz/Cairo combo we would have definitely made the playoffs.

Sarcasm aside, I was at the park for two players' first major league hits this year. Go me.
