Mets (5-5) vs Brewers (7-4) 1:10 PM

14 hits and 8 walks. That's 22 baserunners today. 7 runs.

I don't care that we scored seven runs and our pitching gave up nine, the achilles heel of this team and what is doing us in is our hitting.

 

Two situations in the game where we had first and third and no out with the heart of our order up against two struggling pitchers. We scored zero runs in those spots.

 

It'd be great to see if Willie has the sac to pull Castillo for Easley when Reyes is healthy but that just isn't happening. Nor is Castillo gonna be dropped down in the lineup, which sucks too.

 

We can't hit with RISP and we don't hit many home runs. How can we expect to match with the Phillies run for run at the Bank when our top pitchers can't keep the ball on the ground?

 

There's a lot of mediocre teams out there that'll provide us with a sense false hope. We'll be in it by default for the last two months, and we'll see if we shrivel up again.
