Well, that awful run-down just got two runners into scoring position. So, really. The exact same scenario it would have been if he hadn’t gone to home. JJ … run him to third.

Fact One:

If Frenchy played 162 games against the Braves, he would almost look like a real big league ballplayer..

Fact Two:

For all the hype associated with him, Heyward really IS NOT a great defensive player. Just a fact.

Fact Three:

JJ and Hanson really are closer to the ability of D.Lowe than they are Tim Hudson

Are you Serious? Really?

I feel if the braves get out of this inning with the lead, they will win the game

you’ve got to be kidding me. these last 2 hitters just show how confusing JJ has been tonight… strikes a guy out on 3, then can’t throw a strike to the next guy. this is one of the stranger outings i’ve seen from him.

almost had it JJ

J-Hey

Ok, I was being optimistic. But then again I would have never let him pitch to Beltran who he blew away.

i dont care but jurjjens hello ur pitching against a triple A team and we walk 6 . u have 2 outs and we cant even throw a strike. he deserves for the mets to tie this game. just awful.

chilidog75

Ok. So now THIS is the at-bat of the game. I dont think Carter has faced a lot of lefties this year. So hopefully EOF can overpower him.

something about this team just makes it impossible for them to make it easy on themselves. it’s like they have to play at risk the entire game.

Jesus Jair. This was not a good start. 8 strikeouts don’t matter when you walk 6 guys. Can you hold ANY lead??? Get it together man…

6 walks..8 strikeouts…2-run lead. Mets are playing .500 ball, hardly a AAA team. Is it the pressure that turns some fans into such tools?

critical situation, runners in scoring position, ball hit to Gonzo. Thank goodness we are not in Houston. Hopefully Alex has gotten rid of the demons that plagued us with critical errors

“Are you Serious? Really?”

Yep

JJ blew the Rock game and he left this mess for Eric O to clean up. Hanson is on a “geez how do I pitch again?” binge. Frenchy hits the Braves when he hits no one else and Heyward is not a great outfielder.

Yeah. I’m comfortable with my statement.

JJ can be accused of not dominating, team still in position to win. Of course if you like to complain the whole winning thing is beside the point I guess.

How many “great” right fielders are there anyway?
The great outfielders, typically, play in the middle of the outfield.
