The Unseen Goat of the Mets

With the starting pitching slumping, Daniel Murphy learning to play left field and David Wright struggling Jose Reyes has been operating mostly under the radar this season. But Reyes i batting nearly 30 points below his career average and is on base to steal his fewest bases since 2005, the year before his first full […]



Tonight’s Lineup 4/28/2009

Carlos Delgado‘s sore hip and Luis Castillo‘s back spasms will keep the regular right side of the infield out of the lineup tonight. Also out of the lineup is Daniel Murphy. I find this curious. If the team is committed to Murphy in left field then why has he been on the bench for 3 […]

Carlos Delgado was taken out of the lineup due to a hip problem and this caused some reshuffling. Most notable was that Fernando Tatis was moved from second […]



Tonight’s Lineup

With Luis Castillo still batting well I have to wonder why he’s not in that slot of the lineup. # Name Position 7 Jose Reyes SS 17 Fernando Tatis 2B 15 Carlos Beltran CF 21 Carlos […]



Today’s Crazy Lineup

Jerry Manuel is trying so hard to keep Luis Castillo out of the two hole in the batting order. Today’s lineup is mostly a crap shoot with the jackpot being to break out of the slump the team is in. So why not move the hot hitting Castillo to the two hole for just one […]



Is It Time For Castillo To Move Back To The Two Slot?

One of the questions being asked about the Mets right now is whether manager Jerry Manuel should move second baseman Luis Castillo back to the number two hole in the order. While Daniel Murphy has batted well in that position of the order (.320 AVG, .795 OPS) there is speculation of if he should be […]
