In yesterday's game, Nelson Figueroa struck out 8 Cubs (bringing his total to 18 against them), gave up 7 hits and 2 walks in the 6 innings, and got 14.95% swinging strikes. However, he also gave up 4 runs, both on 2 run homers. The Mets struck out 10 times against Rich Harden in 5 innings, and 13 times overall. Harden had a 22.5% swinging strikes. Cory Sullivan hit another home run (power surge!) and now has a .287/.368/.455. He has a wOBA (weighted On Base average, stat that gives a value to everything in runs, and divides by Plate appearances, it's on a On Base Percentage scale) of .366 (average is .325). Josh Thole went 2/4, so he's now batting .444/.444/.556 for a 1.000 OPS and a .463 wOBA. He also hasn't swung at a pitch outside the strike zone yet, showing great plate discipline. (Frenchy, take notes) Luis Castillo went 2/5, and is now batting .311, with more importantly, an OBP of .400, which is good for 11th in the National League and 16th in all of Major League Baseball. David Wright went 1/4 with a sac fly, but also struck out a hat trick of times. He now has 113 strikeouts, and is on pace for 137.
Stupid Decision of the Day: Well, the fact that the Mets left 10 on is not Jerry's fault.
Random Thought of the Day: Nick Evans only pinch hits. C'mon Jerry, play him. Please.
Clutch Play of the Game: Pagan single in 7th. +.121 WPA.
