Those Mets

TERRIBLE DAY FOR THE METS

The Mets lost both of their games to the Marlins today – 7-0 in their “B” game this morning and 5-1 in their afternoon game at Roger Dean Stadium in Jupiter.For a full recap and box score of the afternoon game, click here.In the “B” game, Anderson Hernandez committed an error which contributed to R.A. Dickey allowing four runs, two earned, in their loss to the Marlins this morning.However, Nelson Figueroa continued his string of fine pitching this Spring with another scoreless inning of relief.Johan Santana started the afternoon game for the Mets and pitch a solid four innings of shutout ball, allowing three hits and striking out four.However, the afternoon did not go well for John Maine, who followed Santana to start the fifth inning, as he lasted just 2/3 of an inning and allowed all five runs to the Marlins.Maine also walked three but despite the poor performance, Maine says he shoulder feels ok.…i think the one of keys early on for everyone on this team is that they establish their health and get in game shape now…if the results are still bad towards the end of March, ill be concerned, but right now, i just want to see these guys get out there, and play, and continue to play…Kiko Calero made his Spring debut, and worked out of a jam in the seventh for a scoreless frame.The Mets were 0 for 10 with runners in scoring position, as the lone RBI came from Mike Hessman with two outs in the ninth, when he doubled in Josh Thole, who walked with two outs and nobody on.
