Mets Game Notes
As I had to work during the day, I missed this landslide of a victory. From the boxscore, it appears that Eric Young, Jr., Daniel Murphy, and Andrew Brown all had great days at the top of the lineup, and Anthony Recker hit a homerun. Also, Carlos Torres‘ line looks wonderful. If I have any questions, it would be this: why in the world did it take four relievers to finish the final 2 1/3 innings / last 7 outs of a blowout? Maybe someone who watched the game can explain in the comments.
Next Mets Game
The Mets begin a series in Washington, D.C. with the Nationals on Friday night at 7:05 PM. Dillon Gee gets the draw against Jordan Zimmerman.
Happy Birthday Recker. He looks younger, but he is 30.
Yesterday’s game “coverage” amounted to a line item in the “notes” section of a story about the 2014 Mets potentially having three players whose last name begins with a lower case “d.” And that’s what counts as news at this point.
I wonder whether it’s more valuable now to get a look at young guys who haven’t had a chance at MLB yet or play the Duda / Davis / Murphy group as much as possible and pray they do something to warrant another team trading anything of value for them.
