Game Time: 2:05pm
El Gordo's Record: 6-5 Era: 4.93 K: 56 BB: 40 WHIP: 1.54
Mets Notes:
Hernandez had struggled mightily going into his last start, as he had lost four straight including two outings that combined 15 runs in just seven innings. But at Nationals Park, Livan beat his former team for the third time in as many tries this season. Hernandez was staked to a 5-0 advantage after two innings and cruised for seven frames giving up five hits and a pair of runs. The savvy veteran said he took everything he did from his previous start against Washington and did the opposite in order to throw off hitters.
- Record: 7-5 Era: 4.92 K: 56 BB: 27 WHIP: 1.47
Astros Notes:
In his first start after the All-Star break, Moehler turned in a quality outing against St. Louis, tossing 6 1/3 innings giving up two runs on six hits and striking out five. He retired 10 of the first 12 batters he faced and threw 100 pitches against the Cardinals before being taken down in the seventh. Moehler hasn’t faced the Mets this season. In his only game against the Mets last year, he allowed four runs on six hits and struck out four over 5 1/3 innings.

Thanks for stinking it up big today Livan. 1/3 of an inning and 3 runs already. When the hell will we get consistent pitching from our starters? If we dont get some good pitching this off season we are screwed.

I’m starting to think that Pagan can start for this team next year. That means we have CF, LF, SS, 3B, 2-3 SPs, and CL set. Now we just need to find a starting:
RF
1B
C
We probably have 2B covered as much as some would not like to admit it. The starting positions and 2 starters is a lot to go get though.

I doubt Pagan starts in LF (but wil lmake a great 4th OF), but I really can see Francouer being the RF next year.

Are you guys seeing this? I mean tacking on runs throughout the game 2 nights in a row…… too much for me to handle.

Nice game. Nice offense and nice bounce back by Livan
