Mets up 5-0 on the Nats. Weird stat that I saw the other day. We are 5-4 versus the Nats. The rest of the NL East is 26-4

The walk to the pitcher hurt, but let’s not forget the out Matty D gave away as well…should have been an error…

We cannot put runners on in front of Randy Winn. I swear we got out Albert Pujols more than we got out this guy.

44 pitches through 2 innings for Hanson. If he doesnt settle down, this could be a short night for him. I still feel that he can go 6.
Meanwhile, there goes 11 innings of no hit ball there.
What did I say about the offense picking up Hanson? I’ve been saying all season that Garret can turn on a fast ball.

3rd in NL in WHIP at 1.05

-2nd in NL in Ks at 141
-9th in NL in IP at 126.0
Man is dealin’ this year. (HEATH)
yes he is. with him the WHIP usually says it all. When he can keep it down, he has very good seasons;when it drifts up, he doesn’t. wonder what his K/100 pitches is this year? gotta be better than it often is.

Yup, that’s the way he likes it. Not having to move much at all.

Big inning here. If Tommy can come back, throw the filth AND for strikes, I’m feeling good. We are going to get to Sanchez. He is leaving balls all around the plate.

That was one of the few times that the umpire was right on the ball/strike calls Matt.

He may have been right, but he has got to get it right with both sides. Be consistent.

CARROLL–
McLouth rolled his wrist on a diving play in the first game back from the break. Has there been any news of that bothering him? Could that be the cause of his slump? He really looks off at the plate. Getting under just about everything.

jeffrey d…………the thing that you have to realize about Matt Diaz is that he needs to play to establish some consistency. He was on a 13 for 26 tear when Bobby decided to bench him so Francouer could “get some at-bats”. When Diaz got back in the line-up, he had cooled off.
Diaz will look bad for a few at-bats, and then come up and rip a double in the gap. You just have to be patient with him.
