Postgame: Mets 8 at Cardinals 12 (swept)

I will not be writing up a postgame report because I wasn’t able to watch most of the game and if was not a good game for the Mets. I will write this though:

  • Livan Hernandez gave up 5 runs in 5 innings of work.
  • Sean Green gave up 5 runs in 2 innings of work.
  • Anyone who thought that Livan has constituency was really wrong.
  • Livan is not a very good pitcher.
  • The Mets bullpen can’t be trusted other than Franky and Putz.
  • The Mets did almost rally to come back in the 8th but it wasn’t enough.

Castillo triples, Ollie walks, Jose singles, 2-0

After Ollie gets hit and then Reyes gets hurt. Come on Murphy.

Murphy gets a hit and Ollie scores. 3-0 Mets.

9:17
Wright reaches on throwing error but scored a hit to get to first. Error to get to second.. Reyes scores. Murphy tries to score from first but is out at the plate. Inning over but it was a good one. Got 2 runs and it all started with a 2 out hit by the pitcher.

9:54
Ollie walks in a run and Jerry makes the move to Fossum so Ollie can’t get a win.

I forgot to mention that Maine threw 95 pitches in his 5 innings of work.
Thats not great but he would’ve pitched a 6th in the regular season. He also had a new delivery that he had to get used to.
