Audio: Mike Pelfrey
Greetings from Port St. Lucie! Some struggles from Mike Pelfrey, who labored through two innings. Afterwards, Pelfrey discussed with us the decision the Mets made to have him swear off his four-seamer for the day, concentrating on locating his sinker. More to come, but here’s some fresh audio for you…. Read More →
Santana Returns!
The raw stats: 29 pitches, 17 strikes. He threw a pair of changeups, a pair of sliders, the rest fastballs. He was consistently up in the zone. And it’s fine. The important thing here is that Johan Santana took the mound, threw a number of pitches at 87-90 miles per… Read More →
Initial Thoughts and Johan
What a pleasure to see Mets baseball again. Some things I noticed: Wonderful to see Josh Thole throw out a runner early in Monday night’s game.

RIP, Murphy Staying At Second Base
The decision to leave Daniel Murphy at second base, after years of delay, to find out at last if he can play the position, died Thursday after little more than a week of raising my hopes. Terry Collins said that if Ike Davis is forced to miss more than a… Read More →
Chris Young’s Still Available
I’ve made no secret here of my concern about the starting pitching depth. Johan Santana is returning from complicated shoulder surgery, and remains and unknown. Dillon Gee faded badly down the stretch, and doesn’t project as a frontline starter anyhow. Jon Niese has tired late in each of the past… Read More →
