The big headlines in Mets land yesterday had nothing to do with the game as an MRI helped to determine that Wheeler will need Tommy John surgery and will be gone for the 2015 season. This comes on the heels of the Mets losing Edgin to TJ surgery and a season after the Mets lost Harvey and Parnell to the same fate. While it is easy to lament the Mets medical staff for this, this seems to be more of an epidemic around baseball not just isolated to Queens (just look at the Braves the last few years). Anyway, here’s what happened in the game:
- Lagares, Cuddyer and Mayberry all had double hit days. Mayberry is now hitting .480 in spring, Cuddyer .333 and Lagares .440.
- Harvey pitched 4.0 innings, allowing 3 hits, striking out 3 batters and nothing else.
- Syndergaard allowed 2 ER, a walk and struck out 2 over 2.2 innings
- Gilmartin allowed a run over 0.2 innings and 3 hits as he continues to squander his opportunity to make the club
So the Mets have some offensive pieces working, Harvey was working.
The Mets now have another potential position battle open between Syndergaard and Gee for the rotation, lets see what happens!
