Reyes had the big hit was a two-run triple, and that was all the Mets would need to support Pelfrey's fantastic outting. The other Mets runs were added in the eighth with a two-run pinch-hit homer off of Fernando Tatis' bat, which is the only way I like seeing Tatis in the game.
As much as I don't want Jerry managing this team, it's hard to deny the team has looked better over the past two games, and it's probably saved his job for a bit.
As the great Lou Brown said, "We've won two games in a row. If we win tonight, it's called a winning steak. It had happened before." The Mets go for their first winning streak of the season tomorrow at 7, when Oliver Perez faces Carlos Silva, in the battle of big contracts with less results...
I agree about Tatis... I was all over Twitter stating how I didn't want Tatis to be on the OD roster, and hated the idea of him being part of a firstbase platoon...but with Ike here, and Tatis slipping into a utility/pinch hitter role, not only can I deal with that, I actually like it...
ReplyDeleteWhen playing everyday Tatis gets exposed but as a pinch hitter or "spell" guy he has been useful to this team...
Tonight was a delight to watch... Pelfrey looked great and we have a Reyes sighting...
Can't wait for tommorrow night... Lets go Mets
