Barf!
Remember the B.C. cartoons in which The Fat Broad would pound the snake with a club? It’s like that when the Mets come to Chase Field. Tonight, the Mets pounded the D’Backs 7-2.
Micah Owings, whose ankle is still sore, didn’t have his stuff, gave up all the runs in 5.2 innings, and took the loss. Eric Byrnes, who still isn’t right, despite his saying on Live Video this morning that “the leg feels good”, went 0-5 with 2 punch-outs. He’s way in front on changeups and lunging at wide pitches. (Note to Byrnesie: You said “leg”. But the injury is reported to involve both legs). Byrnesie’s batting .255. Yuck!
Yuck 2 is the K string of Mark Reynolds. The Sheriff punched out twice, running his strikeout total to 23 in the last ten games. The bad guys got away.
Orlando Hudson strained a hammy cruising into second on a stand up double and had to leave the game. He’s day-to-day.
(For the folks from “the glass is half full” department. Chris Young and Justin Upton got two hits apiece. )
