Perez getting the ball. Hopefully he pitches better than he looks!

Santana trying to rub off on Ollie. We see today how that has worked!

Oy Vey!

Pray for lollie!

[In Da Know]

I'm already sick to my stomach.

Walk, stolen base (on a freaking lefty no less), the base hit RBI.

Great start Ollie! He's worth all 12MM huh?

[sheadenizen]

castillo's range on full display today! woooheee. nice throw F-CORE

[Squadron Nye]

omir can't teach intangibles

[Squadron Nye]

Barajas/Blanco (ML)

Coste/Thole (AAA) Coste tutors Thole

Riggins/Santos (AA) ???

Pena/Gronauer (A+) Pena repeats PSL

Doyle/Blaquiere (A-)

That leaves Zapata, Moras, Moran and a few others to Extended.

In Da Know.

[John]

takahashi is a strike throwing machine

he is the anti ollie

[John]

hahahaha Ron just said the same thing I said lol

[Chris in Ga]

I like the name Dock Doyle. I don't know. It's a catcher's name

[Chris in Ga]

I missed Ollie's appearance. Listening to Howie in the car, it seems like his appearance was atrocious. I guess it is reassuring that last year's injury is not hindering him from still sucking

Mike Nickeas is in a corner somewhere in PSL with a single tear streaming down his face. Poor guy

[John]

It wasn't good.

He did hit 92 at one point but he was mostly in the 88/89 range.........and in typical ollie fashion was not throwing strikes at all.

[Chris in Ga]

Alex Cora's intangibles equal suck

[John]

takahashi apparently can throw strikes to home but not first base lol

[Chris in Ga]

I already like this Takahashi 2.1 better than the original we had last year

[DL]

so ollie still blows, louie is worse, bay is a bust?

anything else?

[John]

takahashi is awesome tho

6 K's in 8 batters faced lol

[In Da Know]

Takhomasack is shooting to replace Ollie in the rotation!

[John]

Thats a great 3 innings right there.

[Future]

Man I want to see this highlight of Santos' inside the parker.

[Future]

Misch 1-2-3. Two Ks.

[Future]

Ike Davis crushes a double off off Villone (lefty.)

[Chris in Ga]

Ike Davis is a man

[John]

ike davis is on fire

[Future]

Ike Davis, epic fail on the basepaths.

[In Da Know]

Ike is a great kid, but he's appearing to be a bit uncoordinated in the field and on the base paths...no?

[Future]

Now Misch is trying to load the bases. Orr thrown out at the plate by Frenchy. The throw was awful too. Orr was out by 10 feet.

[Future]

Frenchy, good job. That wasn't a strike. You knew it and didn't swing. The ump thought it was, but that's ok, you're learning. That ain't worth swinging at.

[Future]

Man Misch doesn't field well. Hehe.

[Future]

Anyone else still around?

[Future]

Put it in the books! Misch slams the door!

[In Da Know]

What did I know?

From Surfing the Mets:

Mets 6, Nats 5: Ollie throws strikes, at least »

By Adam Rubin

Oliver Perez was charged with five runs on seven hits in three innings, but he threw mostly strikes (33 in 49 pitches) and walked only one batter in a 6-5 win against the Nationals and drew a positive review from the staff.

“Outside of the obvious numbers on the board, I thought it was an extremely positive day,” pitching coach Dan Warthen said.

Said Jerry Manuel: “Ollie threw strikes. That was the main focus we had going in. We felt that if he could get some level of comfort out there and throw strikes, we would be very satisfied with the way he was going.”

WTF...Sorry, but why do they always find a way to say a guy making 12MM a year is doing ok throwing strikes...that were hittable...I can go grab about 10 minor leaguers in the backfields could can throw strikes and get the shit kicked out of them too.

:mad:

[John]

So basically its OK for him to get absolutely bombed since he was throwing strikes?

thats gonna be the motto this season.......the 2010 New York Mets........at least we threw strikes this year.

[In Da Know]

I mean if it's hittable and flat...we have 20 guys sitting around bench that can do that....

This so pisses me off!

[Chris in Ga]

Oliver Perez throws a good BP now

[Tim]

where everybody at? watchin Oscars? I'll check back in 3 and a half hours....when it's half over...
