Plax 4 Prez Posted May 2, 2006 Share Posted May 2, 2006 Maine, Mets look to take two-game set Washington (8-18) at NY Mets (17-8) 7:10 pm EDT FLUSHING, New York (Ticker) - John Maine makes his New York Mets debut as they aim to sweep the second game in their brief two-game set against the Washington Nationals on Tuesday. The Mets acquired Maine (NA) from Baltimore in the offseason trade for Kris Benson. Pitching for the Class AAA Norfolk Tides, he gained his first win on Wednesday, allowing just one run and five hits in seven innings. The 25-year-old righthander had a record of 1-3 with a 2.63 ERA in four starts in AAA this season and is 2-4 with a 6.60 ERA in 11 games - nine starts - in the majors. The Mets pulled out a 2-1 win on Monday as Endy Chavez scored the winning run on a throwing error by Washington reliever Gary Majewski in the bottom of the ninth. The Nationals will counter with rookie Michael O'Connor (0-1, 0.00), who will be making his second career start. The lefthander made his major league debut on Thursday in St. Louis, giving up three unearned runs in five frames. Washington batters stuck out eight times on Monday with sluggers Nick Johnson and Alfonso Soriano going down twice each. It also left 10 runners on base.

gateb Posted May 2, 2006 Share Posted May 2, 2006 This guy is 0-1 with 0.00 ERA, how? Could've let up three runs but none of them earned. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xxi-xxv Posted May 2, 2006 Share Posted May 2, 2006 Could've let up three runs but none of them earned. Pretty much the only mathematical way possible to have a losing record and 0.00 ERA. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GorillaNJ Posted May 3, 2006 Share Posted May 3, 2006 I realize he was pitched around, but since they moved wright into the 4 hole he lost his stroke. They need to do something so he can get it back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blue Jeans Posted May 3, 2006 Share Posted May 3, 2006 Wright is not a cleanup hitter He is a number 3 or 5 hitter. Lo Duca just hits for contact so well he needs to be behind Reyes. While Beltran was hurt putting Wright at cleanup was a mistake, he should have gone into the third spot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xxi-xxv Posted May 3, 2006 Share Posted May 3, 2006 this Maine kid has a nice live arm, needs to get more command of his changeup and breaking stuff, but his fastball is certainly majoe league quality. I am impressed thus far. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gateb Posted May 3, 2006 Share Posted May 3, 2006 Why 3 runs? 1-1 Duke hit a bomb. I just brought up a random number for that. From the parts I watched tonight, Maine didn't look so bad. Maybe Rick P can make up for Zambrano by turning this guy around. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
