Say It Aint Seo, Jae!
Click here for a recap of last night’s game.
Jae Seo pitched a great game last night (7 IP, 1 H, 2 BB, 8 K) and then packed a bag for Norfolk. Seo and Royce Ring were sent down to make room on the roster for Kris Benson and Mike Cameron, both coming off the DL for today’s game. Seo was the obvious choice to be sent down in order to allow Benson to make his first start of the season today. Most people expected VÃctor DÃaz to be sent down to make room for Cameron due to his recent slump. Personally, I think the team was carrying too many pitchers to begin with so I’m not upset about Ring being sent down. That being said I’d like to see something done with VÃctor Zambrano. He obviously has some issue to work out and maybe a few minor league starts is the way to go here like Steve Trachsel did a few years ago. We may see something like that before too long when Kazuhisa Ishii is ready to come off the DL.
Back to the game. Cliff Floyd had a great game both offensively and defensivly. Floyd hit his 8th homer of the year and then stole a homer from Phillies CF Jason Michaels when he reached over the wall to make a spectacular catch. The catch prompted chants of “MVP!” from the crowed.
The game was nearly thrown for a looper in the ninth when Braden Looper gave up homers to Chase Utley and Bobby Abreu to pull the Phils to within 1 run before finally closing the door. This is just more evidence that Looper is not going to be the closer that takes the Mets to the championship.
