Mets’ May 5 lineup vs. San Francisco

Posted on by

So long ago seems that six-game winning streak. The Mets have lost five of their last six games since and will attempt to stop the slide this afternoon with this lineup behind Mike Pelfrey:

Jose Reyes, SS

Chin-lung Hu, 2B

David Wright, 3B

Carlos Beltran, RF

Jason Bay, LF

Ike Davis, 1B

Ronny Paulino, C

Scott Hairston, CF

Mike Pelfrey, RP

COMMENTS: Nothing wrong with giving Daniel Murphy the day off. Hu needs some playing time anyway. … Wright still batting third much to the chagrin of many. Terry Collins seems set on that. … Jason Bay returns to the lineup. He’s still not hitting for power. When will that happen?

Mets’ April 29 lineup at Philadelphia.

Here’s the Mets’ lineup tonight at Philadelphia:

Jose Reyes, SS

Daniel Murphy, 2B

David Wright, 3B

Carlos Beltran, RF

Jason Bay, LF

Ike Davis, 1B

Josh Thole, C

Jason Pridie, CF

Mike Pelfrey, RP

 

COMMENT: I’ll say it again, I think the Mets are making a mistake starting Pelfrey tonight. He’s lost 11 pounds battling the flu the past week and isn’t full strength. They have Dillon Gee for situations like this and it makes no sense pushing Pelfrey in April. What’s the point? What good does it serve to possibly burn out Pelfrey tonight and going deep into the bullpen?

The Mets’ April 26 line-up at Washington

Posted on by

Chris Young will be activated from the disabled list to return to the rotation tonight at Washington.  Here’s the line-up that will attempt to extend the Mets’ winning streak to five games.

Jose Reyes, SS

Daniel Murphy, 2B

David Wright, 3B

Carlos Beltran, RF

Jason Bay, LF

Ike Davis, 1B

Josh Thole, C

Jason Pridie, CF

Chris Young, RP

 

COMMENT: The Mets are sticking with their same line-up tonight at Washington. You have to like the consistency. Daniel Murphy is affording Jose Reyes the kind of protection he needs, but I would like to see the shortstop run more than he has, especially for how well he is hitting early in the game,

Gee waiting out the rain.

The Mets have looked like a different team the past three days because they have pitched well. Actually, they’ve done better than well.

If they play today, Dillon Gee will be trying to give the Mets their third straight victory.

A strong outing by Gee could earn him another start or possibly keep Chris Young on the disabled list. Gee, 2-2 with a 2.18 ERA in five starts last year, gave up one run in 5.2 innings last Sunday in a win at Atlanta.

Here’s today’s line-up:

Jose Reyes, SS

Daniel Murphy, 2B

David Wright, 3B

Carlos Beltran, RF

Jason Bay, LF

Ike Davis, 1B

Josh Thole, C

Jason Pridie, CF

Dillon Gee, RP

Mets’ Game 1 lineup at Atlanta

Posted on by

Here’s the lineup for Game 1 of today’s doubleheader at Atlanta:

Jose Reyes, SS

Angel Pagan, CF

David Wright, 3B

Carlos Beltran, RF

Ike Davis, 1B

Willie Harris, LF

Brad Emaus, 2B

Josh Thole, C

DJ Carrasco, RP

 

LINEUP COMMENTS:  No surprises. Terry Collins said he’ll give Brad Emaus a legitimate chance at second base and he’s back there today. They knew going in with Emaus he had to stay on the roster for the full season because he’s a Rule 5 pick. Given that, they might has well give him a real chance to see what he can do. The Mets don’t want to hear this, but 2011 is a throwaway year. They aren’t going to win this season so they might as well see what they have in Emaus for the future.
