Mets:
R.A. Dickey’s
appeal to MLB has been

Can you deny Jason Bay his last year of the contract due to
dereliction of duty (keep running into wall)?

Adam
Rubin –
The Mets -- who scored 11, nine and nine runs -- last posted
at least nine runs in three straight games in 2006. They last did it
consecutively in the same series back in 1990, when they scored 43 runs in the
final three games of a four-game set against the Chicago Cubs. Dave Magadan had a six-RBI game at Wrigley Field
back then.
Tomas Nido:
“As a catcher I’m really good defensively. I am able to move
around really well around the plate even with a large body type. I consider
myself an average hitter with good power. This year I changed my stance a bit
to spread the ball more. My strengths are definitely my arm and power hitting.
My weaknesses are trying to get too big with the long swing; trying to hit
homers, and sometimes I get lazy. However, I have spent a lot of time working
on being able to give 100 percent every game, all game, and it has paid off”
Unnamed Met –
“The fun thing is we all are throwing knuckleballs during
warm-up now when the coach’s aren’t looking…”
Both SS Ronny Cedeno and 2B Justin
Turner rehabbing tonight…
The important thing in
this game was not the seven runs given up by Dylan Owen
(5.23) and Jack Egbert (3.26). No, this was the
first relief appearance by Jenrry Mejia… went groundout, groundout, single, groundout..19
pitches, 10 strike. Last pitch at 95 shattered a bat
AA-Binghamton:

New York Mets prospect Jeff Kaplan doesn’t have a blazing
fastball or any other lights-out pitch. The 26-year-old San Diego native with
the 2.98 career E.R.A. just seems to get people out with focus and control. An
11th-round pick out of Cal State Fullerton in 2008, Kaplan was a starting
pitcher before the Mets organization converted him. Now, he relishes the chance
to pitch on any given day. Prior to going on the disabled list last month with
an arm injury, Kaplan tossed 21 and 2/3 innings this season and put together a
combined 3-0 record and 3.32 ERA for the St. Lucie Mets (High-A) and Binghamton
Mets (AA). His ERA in Binghamton has been a solid 2.31. In a recent interview,
Kaplan discussed his love of baseball, his pride in being Jewish, his eagerness
to chat with fans, and his determination to play in the Majors. An edited
transcript follows.
Another bad defensive
game… Jenry Marte’s 10th error of the
season + another rare one by Eric Campbell…
RF Dustin Martin (.417) and SS Rylan
Sandoval (.246) combined for 4-RBIs to take the lead in the 6th
inning… RP Ryan Fraser (21.60) struck out the
side in the 7th… RP Armondo Rodriguez (2.13)
got his first save.
A+ - St. Lucie: -
I never will understand
how an entire league can take off on a Friday night.
A – Savannah:
Same-oh, same-oh
lineup…
This was all about RF Greg Pron (.228) who doubled in three runs in the 4th
inning… they added a run on a single by
1B Brian Harrison who continues to creep closer
to the .300 mark (.292)… RP Jeffrey Walters (0.99)
notched his 3rd save.
