I love Pete, all right-thinking NYkers love Pete, but tonight:

1st inning: 5 straight balls, yet he swings and hits a lame flyout. I know it's easy for us and he's Pete and knows his zone but take a pitch until the guy shows that he can throw a strike, right?

3d inning: now you can hit that flyball... except he feels the weight of the lineup on his shoulders so he chases and hits in that innings' DP.

    He was, very interestingly, discussing earlier how broadcasters are doing such a good job calling games off of monitors that teams are possibly reluctant to put them back on the road. But went unspoken was what a poor example he was of this.

    Pirates bring in a new pitcher, he gives up a GB error, and the pitching coach needs to come out for a conference!!



    And the worst part is, this doesn't count as a "visit" since a pich-hitter was coming up.

    Reader's Digest version: Lugo & Diaz faced 13 hitters between them and wound up retiring four while leaving none on base because the last pitch each threw wound up on the wrong side of the OF wall for a combined 7 RBIs

    It wasn't Marvin Hudson's fault that the Mets lost but his call on Polanco didn't help.

    On the upside, there was no gunfire, and the Mets outscored the Pirates 7-0 with Dave Jauss at the helm.
