That last time through the order the Mets laid off Ben's curve. They left it up to ump to call it a strike. That didn't happen. I think the ump is calling the curve where it is caught and not where it is when it crosses the plate. If Ben can't get his curve over for strikes he is a rather average pitcher.

[uecker9]

That pretty much sucked!! Need a few of those back.

[brettac1]

Looks like that triple would have been a fine catch had Hall been able to get there.

 

Well, it would have been a double if he hadn't dove at it when he had zero chance of catching it.

[uecker9]

Green would have scored either way. Better than hitting 4 homers!

[craigharmann]

I'm liking the thought of Hart in LF, Hall in CF and Gwynn in RF next year. I didn't realize that Gwynn had that good of an arm. I've been quite impressed with him today. Let's get some runs!

[Terok Balefire]

If Gwynn was made a regular starter he would be in CF.

[EinhornIsFinkle]

The bullpen better get warm in a HURRY.

[craigharmann]

Is it just me, or is Sheets done? I don't think he should have even started this inning.

[LUKE232323]

Every game Sheets pitches is like pulling teeth, win or lose. So damn frustrating...

[TheMCG]

I don't know what happened between the end of last season and the beginning of this one, but his command is nothing like it used to be. These walk totals he's racking up so far are disconcerting for a purported ace pitcher.

[craigharmann]

Estrada's earning his pay today...doing a fairly good job of blocking the balls in the dirt.

Exactly I've predicted for a while now that our OF next year will be Hall in Left, Gwynn in Center, Hart in Right...with Gross and Mench coming off the bench.

[Fike85]

Sheets should break up that Change-up more often...I think he needs another pitch.

[craigharmann]

Why couldn't Gwynn start in right?

[Mike2k33]

Sheets blows, why can't he throw a perfect game every time out just like every other ace in MLB?

 

No, Ben doesn't have his A+ stuff today, but he retired the first 10 Mets today. He's been far from terrible.

[craigharmann]

Didn't Ben have a perfect game through 4 1/3?

I agree. Though Sheets has been pretty good, waiting for him to put it all together like he did late last season has been tiresome.

[jloos19]

6 innings, 3 runs against the Mets offense. Yeah, that's a horrible outing.

[LUKE232323]

Solid outing for Sheets. Lets hope that Newhan HR doesn't come back to bite us.

[Schlitz001]

Alright, we got to Wisebowco.

[uecker9]

I'll be willing to pee on Alous hands if we win this one!

[brettac1]

Those were money pitches.

 

The type of pitches you expect your ace to make when there are a lot of reporters present at the park that form the casual fan's opinion about who is good at baseball and who isn't.

I thought the whole idea was not to make Hall move again. Pack your bags, Bill. But Gwynn does seem to be a more natural CFer and he had done great with his few ABs

[craigharmann]

Prince is HOT!! (Hitting, of course)

[jloos19]

Prince Fielder is OK at baseball.
