    Edgy MD wrote: Ankiel makes what looks to be the 19th bad base-running decision of the series Yeah, I know you press when you're losing, but what's up with the Head-in-Ass disease? I think that's just it, pressing. Terry preached aggression on the base paths this season so that's how it manifests. Plus after being able to run willy-nilly on Shelby Miller yesterday..

    After the crap he's pulled about begging out of it..last year? the year before? Why would anyone non-ironically campaign for him to be there? Either of them. Of all the players 'injured' they were the only ones who didn't show up.

    You know what I find impressive*? The Mets, as of this moment, are closer (strictly in the loss column) to first place than last.

Have to be encouraged that Muffy seems to be breaking out again. If Terry wants to do some lineup magic he could do worse than bat Muffy leadoff when he's hot. Duda got a little strikeout happy early in the month but he's seemingly stopped that. Only 2 in his last seven games (2 games were just a PH) He only has two walks in that time though, and three in May. I don't know if that means bad luck or buying into this more aggression thing or simply pressing too hard on a team that's struggling. But of all the hitters struggling it's Duda I have the most faith in in any given day. He's 1/26 when he puts the ball in play. Only once in May has he hit the ball and it's hit grass before seats or glove.

    Did they remember to ask Valdespin first if he wanted to play today?
  16. Ceetar
    sorry, I was being sarcastic and mocking about the people that insist Duda is too passive and (before this recent slump) his 900+ OPS was worth nothing because he had no RBI.

    Perez hasn't allowed an inherited runner to score yet and is 1.17 ERA over 15.1 innings and a K/9 rate of 11.74. He's allowed 8 hits, (2 HR) and 8 BB +2 IBB over that time. Everyone should've seen this coming. His velocity is back and he's back to the strike 'em out, or walk 'em, but you're probably not hitting it Perez we know and love. Whatever happened to those two can't miss pitching aces the Yankees were developing?

    Edgy MD wrote: I always love the "no finer gentleman in the game" claims. Why are these claims always made in reference to an All-Star? Maybe the finest gentleman in the game is a backup shortstop on the Padres that you've never met and speaks little English. An assitant trainer who has actually taken decorum lessons. An umpire who has studied diplomacy. consider the source I guess. I'm not sure who it was now ,but Howie and Josh were talking about a backup catcher recently, perhaps on the Pirates? who was the nicest guy you'll ever meet.

The Mets have sucked at drafting players over the last generation and its pretty well known. It's not just because of good old random breaks why they've finished in first place in a five or six team division just once in the last 25 years. There's something foul and rotten at the top of this franchise. Is it your job to always defend against every negative thing about the Mets? Are we supposed to believe that the Mets have been a model franchise of perfection throughout this period? What Pelfrey gave us was incredibly valuable. Not every first round pick becomes an ace. I didn't say they've been good drafting players lately, but the draft is such controlled chaos that when you get value you count that as a win. Shelby's streak ends at 29, David Wright single up the middle.

    well Pelfrey panned out, just not as an ace, but those are the breaks. They probably won't have a great pick next year either, but hopefully they can still improve.

    I'm breaking the rules and starting the thread again after a loss. Gotta shake things up sometimes to break a losing streak. If you don't like it, bean me. Shaun Marcum versus Shelby (My wife had a spider named Shelby) Miller who's coming off of a 1-hit CG shutout where he retired the last 27 to face him and struck out 13.
