Did marty say “Hit off the front foot”? Bailing out I understand, but you have to stay back and stay tall NOT hit off the front leg. Bailing out? That I agree with. He does that very often

The missed bullpen session excuse is just that. An excuse. The are always ways that players can get their work in if they need to. Whether or not they chose to make the effort to do them is another story. I cannot believe that if Santana was concerned about missing his bullpen work that the Mets would not have made arrangements with any number of places that have a mound and a plate 60’6” away. I just hope it was not a vanity thing where he did not do his session because he could not use “his” bullpen.

Jose Reyes back to bad habits when batting left-handed. The bat is held back, but the hands are way in front of his shoulder ansd then he has to “hitch” as he pulls his hand backward before swinging . He has to hit THROUGH the ball.

David Wright is still “bailing out” on his swing. Instead of hitting off his vback leg, he should begin hitting off his front leg aand drive his swinfg thru the ball.

Regarding Bullpen sessions that Santana missed. Why didn’t they take the Pitchers that needed work to their minor league affiliates in NY? It’s not like they don’t send major league players there at all. They use it as rehab assignment for injured players ready to join the club.

the sny talking heads were saying Maine’s shoulder fly’s out so he cannot drive.

I believe ronnie said the same some time ago.

I hope he can fix his mechanics cause we need him

oh well, you can’t win them all. we should have lost last
night so I can’t complain too much. I just hope Maine straightens himself out in his next start. But he is having a better year than Kris Benson so we can’t complain too much. Time to root for a Marlins comeback and Padres win.

Edfever – Check John D’s comment above.

Oh well, Congrats to Mets on 10 game streak!

Still would love a Nady – Yates for Heilman and another lesser player trade if they could swing it.

Nixon out wheres that

Has there been any word on who the Mets will use as a fifth starter since Pedro is a maybe at best and Armas is on the DL. Are they going to look at Vargas again? Also, the corner outfield situation still looks bleak at this point for the long haul, especially as Church situation lingers. Anderson’s forced basket catch right now further reinforced my concern.

Lot of bad news on the injury front today. Even Nixon out for the year. I thought they were hiding him on the DL so they wouldnt have to DFA him. Arroyo always seems to pitch well against the Mets.
