With this lineup, you knew we wouldn't score that many: Pagan, Castillo, Wright, Francoeur, Tatis, Murphy, Santos, Cora, Perez .(Why the *$%# is Tatis ahead of Murphy) And with Oliver Perez pitching, you knew there would be a lot of walks (6 for christ sakes), and they'd probably score 3 runs in 6 innings. They scored 4; we got no runs off of John Lannan, who threw his second complete game (both against the Mets), and threw his first career shutout. The Mets got 7 hits, and struck out once, the hits coming from 1-4 in the lineup, and the #6, Daniel Murphy. Jeff Francoeur got 2 hits, but he still has not walked as a New York Met. Fernando 6-4-3 Tatis grounded into a double play, and went 0-4. Seriously, why did he bat fifth? With the Phillies win, the Mets are 10 back; Omar, your plan of staying .500 til the All Star Break, and a little after, didn't work. One of the reasons is that we're 5 under. Its a sad day in Queens when Angel Berroa gets a pinch hit at bat when we are down 4-0. Oh, and Jeff Francoeur dropped a fly ball, got someone out at second, but a run scored. Didn't we get him partly for his DEFENSE Omar?
Stupid Decision of the Day: Putting Fernando Tatis in the lineup. We know his swing is too long, even Tim McCarver pointed it out, don't play him until he fixes it. Also, why is a guy batting .242/.312/.382 batting fifth? Can't Murphy bat fifth?
Thought of the Day: Tatis has grounded into more double plays this year (11) in 108 less plate appearences then he did last year (7). Scary.
