Well yesterday wasnt such a good game. It was also yesterday, so there isnt much to talk about. My main concern is this new hitless streak Wright is on now.
Its a concern because tonight the Mets will face Barry Zito. By himself, Zito does not scare me. However, for some reason, he is very good agaisnt Beltran and Delgado. In fact, according to MLB.com, Beltran, Delgado, Green, Easily, over 63 AB, hit a .176 agaisnt Zito.
Perez, on the other hand, has not had much luck ever agaisnt the Giants. The Giants do look different this year (Alou leaving was a major shake up to their lineup and line up protection) however there are still some threats. The main one being Barry Bonds. The only reason Bonds is a threat is because, Perez, like Maine, seems to have a weakness to the long ball, and on top of that, Bonds is patient, so dependind on what Perez shows up tonight will dictate the tempo of the game. Another weak point will be Aurialla, who in 25 AB agaisnt Perez, has 3 homers. (His overall batting average against Perez though is a .240)
If you go to MLB.com, they give a pitch by pitch matchup of Bonds vs basically every Mets pitcher, its a bit obnoxious at this point.
In other Zito news, he has really buckled down his last four starts throwing a 1.65 ERA (he had a really bad start to the year).
