Ahhh we are a hitting machine. Wow check it out 6 hits..Santana should feel lucky that the Mets were able to obtain 6 hits against Duke who a ERA North of 5 before yesterday's game and still does after giving up that 1 Reyes run in the first. No way the Mets should have lost yesterday but they did.
Santana made 2 bad pitches that the Bucs hit for Solo shots and that was the game. It looks liked after the first inning the Mets were pretty aggressive on there swinging and were giving Duke easy less then 10 pitch innings.
The Mets couldnt muster anything and even after a lead off single in the 9th by Davis there were was no pinch runner or anyone who followed who could move him along and Santana goes 8 and loses again.
So Duke, who beat the Mets last year, wins for the 6th time this year against 12 losses while Santana gives up 2 runs on 4 hits and strikes out 9 and has his 8th loss .
The Mets finish the 3 game set scoring 13 runs and now head home against the fish Tuesday night and we will see if there hitting is back or was it the lousy pitching of the Bucs that was the reason for the hitting show they had on friday and a bit on Saturday before the rains came.
The Fish will not have Cody Ross due to being claimed by the Giants and its possible Ricky Nolasco could be done for the year with a torn meniscus cartilage in his right knee.
Dickey gets the start Tuesday night against Josh Johnson.
