Mets 4, Braves 2
Am I seeing this correctly? The Mets are 2-0? I doubt many people expected this, even Mets fans. A win is a win, but if the Mets could find a way to knock in the baserunners, we could be winning games 9-2 instead of 4-2.
It is not every day where you strand 12 runners and still pull out a victory. Yet, the Mets found a way to do so today.
RA Dickey pitched so-so; six innings of five hit two run ball. However, he also walked four batters while striking out three. I hope the walk count will go down, as will his WHIP. Our bullpen once again pitched fantastically well, with Frank Fransisco striking out two for the scoreless save.
Offensively, the power was there today. The fence-move-in played a big role today, as the Mets had three solo homers (Wright, Duda, Duda). Josh Thole knocked in the last run. RA Dickey went 1-2.
Our young guys played pretty well today. Duda went 2-4 with the two solo shots mentioned above, Thole went 2-4, and recently called up Nieuwenhuis went 2-4, replacing Torres.
Tomorrow's game will be Mike Minor vs Jon Niese, as the Mets will be looking to bring out the brooms! Game time is 1:10.
