What is alarming is that they are not having him run at all and that adds alot to the mets and joses game.

That is something they have to do a better job at.

We put ourselves in a position for those games against florida to matter. Anyway, like bomb was saying..we were the only half way decent team they faced and one of those ggames was decided on an error. They will stick around and be competitive..ive said that several times but to think they will win the division based on this hot start is a bit premature...

I dont think poeple should buy into the hype until they play real competition...i will give them credit however because they do what they are supposed to do when playing an inferior team and win, but lets see how they do when they play the juggernauts of the league...

Reyes is a good leadoff guy. We can tweak the team but whats not broken does not have to be fixed...

They played the infield back to play for the out, not the run. The pads just took advantage.

Next month they got cubs/diamondbacks/mets/philly/col/dodgers...lets see if they stay hot through that. Bonofacio has already cooled down.....so will the team. Mon, 20 Apr 2009 15:24:21 +0000 http://www.metsblog.com/2009/04/20/read-today-in-the-nl-east-84/#IDComment19436173 http://www.metsblog.com/2009/04/20/note-100-men-left-on-base/#IDComment19435972 good point, albiet a small sample size but he is actuatly hitting LHP better than RHP ..i guess you can use him like you said above in the #6 spot and i would bump castillo to #2. Mon, 20 Apr 2009 15:19:23 +0000 http://www.metsblog.com/2009/04/20/note-100-men-left-on-base/#IDComment19435972 http://www.metsblog.com/2009/04/20/note-100-men-left-on-base/#IDComment19435763 because they are always the problem until the mets start to hit and then they are worshiped for their work....a love/hate relationship Mon, 20 Apr 2009 15:13:49 +0000 http://www.metsblog.com/2009/04/20/note-100-men-left-on-base/#IDComment19435763 http://www.metsblog.com/2009/04/20/note-100-men-left-on-base/#IDComment19435655 but they dont run real....so really whats the point in having the fastest runners. Beltran is not going to run infront of delgado(he should against LHP to give 1b as an otption to the opp manager and if the bite have wright there to make em pay). I think that given teh way reyes approches his ab, i feel alot more confortable with him leading off than hitting into dp. Reyes is faster than castillo and a better chance if castillo hits a grounder, he will beat out a DP. What do you think?

Yes they dont get the big hit to drive them in but they are frequently getting the opp. Baseball is a game of probablity and the law of average...eventurally given the opps, you will scratch a run in here or there...

I think they should switch beltran and wright since Beltran doesnt run anyway and david is rediscovering his stroke Mon, 20 Apr 2009 14:29:01 +0000 http://www.metsblog.com/2009/04/20/note-100-men-left-on-base/#IDComment19434147 http://www.metsblog.com/2009/04/20/note-100-men-left-on-base/#IDComment19433239 lol oliver is inconsistant all year, the other 3 are servicable and they will be better as the weather gets warmer. My theory on oliver is that he plays well against a team depending on if they are over .500 AT THE TIME..... It doesnt matter the talent level, but if they are over .500 when we face them, we get good ollie lol..i know stupid theory but interesting to see play out.
