New York Mets Podcast #16
A recap of the Phillies series plus the first two games of the series with the Marlins. A big week for the Mets with trades picking up a starter in Orlando Hernandez and a reliever in Mike Adams. The Mets say goodbye to Jorge Julio in the El Duque deal which means that the Mets essentially dealt Kris Benson for Hernandez. The team also says goodbye to Jeremi Gonzalez who failed to give us a quality start.
Meanwhile, Alay Soler had a promising outing on Wednesday night, settling down after some early control problems. He gave the Mets an unexpected boost mid-series that helped the team take 2 of 3 from Philadelphia. Carlos Beltran and David Wright have been huge in keeping the Mets on top of the division over the last two weeks.
Anyone notice that it's the Braves and not the Phillies who are directly behind the Mets in the Eastern Division?
Tough to see Pedro go to the mound and take yet another loss after a quality start. But it happened Friday night. Thankfully, Tom Glavine was supported in spades on Saturday as the Mets took a 7-4 victory.
Seems like some members of the Mets bullpen have been shaky lately. I hope it's not a developing trend. Now for El Duque's debut.
Let's Go Mets!
