Green with the single, and then Zimmerman makes an error on the ball hit by Easley. This is probably bad - now Glavine gets hit for, and what are the chances that Newhan gets the big hit?
Well, at least Glavine doesn't get the L, but he deserved better. Like I said, what were the chances that Newhan would get the big pinch hit?
a little quick on the sacrifice there, especially when the next few guys up haven't exactly been tearing the cover off the ball edit: and acta wisely walks beltran, setting up not only the DP but bringing up the 2 coldest hitters in the mets lineup.
Lo Duca sacs him to second. No, that was not the play - Reyes trying to steal was. Now Beltran gets walked and Delgado, currently living below the Mendoza line, has to come through.
Well, that was just awful - Reyes is thrown out trying to steal third. You can't do that with a lefthanded hitter up unless you're sure you can get a good jump.
With the swings Delgado had that AB it wouldn't have mattered even if he was able to steal 3rd. He just looks unbelievably awful at the plate.
And now the horrific Delgado strike out. Okay, maybe I'll take back the criticism of Reyes - he probably planned on stealing third and then stealing home, since there was no way Delgado or Wright was going to bring him in. What did I say earlier about the number of rallies Delgado will kill before someone finally sits him down?
the mets have just been heilmaned. again, he gave up a bomb to blow it, but like his last loss against the braves it was bad defense that put him in the position to do it.
Heilman has made a whole lot of bad pitches in many of his outings this year. People thought starting pitching was going to be the problem for the Mets this year, but if the Mets don't come back this is going to be the third game he has cost them.
Zimmerman tries to make another ridiculous play, but Green gets it past him. I will note that that's two straight hits for him at important times. Endy makes an appearance, thereby meaning that he once again won't get a chance to hit.
