Eric Young, Jr. hustled hard in 9th inning. D-Backs players didn't expect that part. Mets starters finally pitch better after 5th inning. I hope they keep it up.

I hope Kirk could stay healthy and get a decent chance. Not a star by any means, but he's solid and provides good depth.

I also think Ike should be playing consistently at first. I'm just not ready to give up on dude. I think he could still be a 30 hr guy that hits for a decent average.
 
Leaving after 70+ pitches was a little ridiculous though imo, don't care if his fastball became flat. Gee should've been out there another inning.
 
Duda>Ike

Just look at Ike's swing, its long and horrible, he can never hit for average.

I didn't see it but isn't it pretty much a guarantee Gee gets rocked like the 3 or 4th time through the order depending upon pitch count?

That being said, it sucks if he had a perfect game through the first 14 batters I think and then gets pulled so early.

Only way he will get over it is if he is left out there, esp with a 5 run lead. Hate when pitchers are babied.

At least see how he starts the inning off imo.
 
I like Gee. solid at the back end of the rotation.

I know I'm being hopeful with Ike, his swing is broken like mentioned above, but Idk I feel like he could be serviceable. I personally wouldn't mind having Duda play a little outfield as well as getting a few games in at first.
 
Duda in the outfield is a nightmare.

and I'm still not sold on Duda, the minute he starts going on a bad streak put Ike in. Platoon 1st base just like SS
 
Ike deal done according to Heyman.

as for that bobblehead, are they giving that out all weekend?
 
My best guess is that the Mets probably traded Davis for cash and a minor leaguer so they can use money to sign Joel Hanrahan or Stephen Drew.
 
Ike Davis was supposed to have better potentials than Duda. Somehow, Davis failed living up to the hype and couldn't get out of his slump. Duda is a solid player plus he's cheaper than Davis. I like Duda. Davis's batting average went from .227, .205 to now .208 in last three seasons. :x His highest batting average was .302, but I didn't count it since he only played 36 games.

He was never great with lefties but jeez, that Valley fever really did a number on him in that first half of '12. Wouldn't be surprised if he's outta the league in a year or two. That **** is serious.
 
YOu think that really messed up his career? I do remember reading a piece valley fever and that **** is definitely no joke.

It sucks cause there really aren't many guys with more power than him, I mean if he can actually make contact he can send the ball a country mile but that is just to far and between.
 
Not sold on Duda yet, especially when its just a small sample of good at bats (last year he was not impressive one bit).

We'll see.

I think it just messed him up physically for that first half. The problem against lefties and off speed stuff was always gonna be there but that stuff really saps you and it kills your immune system. You tell all of '12 he just wasn't the same player he was as a rookie. No reason he shouldn't have been similar to Ryan Howard's prime for a few years.

There's always the other side though, I think Trout had it around the same time and he hasn't missed a beat. Then you look at a guy like Connor Jackson and how he went from being so promising to nothing at all after he got it.
 
I hope Ike does good with the Pirates.

If Duda can't handle first base, they should try Flores.
