Quotes from Mets Manager Jerry Manuel

I am sure at this point Manager Jerry is a bit frustrated by the lack of production out of the Mets big hitters Bay and Wright. Now of course Francoeur is in a 0 for twenty slump as well.

Some of his thoughts after last nights game.

He does not feel fatigue is an issue for Bay, Francoeur or Wright, though a mental break could be help them. Will Manager Jerry give them a day off probably not.

He will likely break up the three-consecutive right-handed hitters, in Bay, Wright and Francoeur, the next time they face a right-handed pitcher. Which wont be tonight since they will face a lefty. Wright crushes lefties. He just seems lost. Not sure if he is pressing or what. There are times where if he would just dump a ball off the plate into right field. That is how he usually recovered from slumps in the past.


In regards to breaking the 3 of them up, Does that mean we will see Reyes or Pagan 3rd and have Davis bat behind Bay? Or please don’t tell me he is planning to have Davis bat 4th.


Have to love this quote from Manager Jerry regarding Ike Davis.

"He looks like he knows what he’s doing at first base, ‘He has a nice way about him as a baseball player.’" Can anyone tell me what the heck this means? When was nice a comment that described a players ability? Hey Wright nice error you had last night. Hey Gary Matthews Jr nice strike out you had pinch hitting.
