As Ernie Banks used to say, “Let’s Play Two!”
Two aged starters take the mound today as Pedro Martinez and Jamie Moyer are set to duel in game one of this doubleheader.
Keys to the game:
- Get Us Started Jose. Jose Reyes was 0-4 against Brett Myers Friday night, and the Mets were unable to score. Although most of the Mets batters failed to succeed against him, it is also a testemant to how much the Mets need Reyes to spark the offense. If he can jump on Moyer early and not fall into his crafty traps, the Mets will be in good shape.
- Play the Match-ups. Even though it is a double header, the Mets have have a plethora of arms in the bullpen, many of which can only handle certain situations. If Manuel can save guys like Pedro Feliciano and only have them face one or two batters (lefties for Feliciano of course), then they also might be available for tonight’s game. Playing the match-ups might be the best course of action for getting batters out and conserving arms for this evening’s action.
