Heyward 0 - 5 5K's last night vs my Dodgers. Including 0 - 3 with 3 K's vs Kershaw
A little more detail.
1st at bat: (moving inside to outside)
1) 93 MPH fastball paints the inside corner.
2) Slider breaks back over the inside corner
3) Kershaw drops Public Enemy Number One low and away with +10 inches of break. Heyward can't get wood on
2nd at bat: (rising fastballs)
1) Slider just misses up and away
2) Heyward swings through a slider on the outside corner
3) Fastball misses close high and in
4) Heyward swings through a high fastball with 11" vertical rise
5) Kershaw dials up a 94 MPH fastball with 12" vertical rise that Heyward can't hit
3rd at bat: (changing speeds)
1) 92 MPH fastball misses high
2) Kershaw throws a slider away that Heyward takes for a strike
3) Kershaw throws fastball right down the pipe that Heyward fouls off
4) Kershaw throws another slider away that Heyward fouls off
5) Kershaw comes way up and in with a fastball that misses
6) Kershaw goes from high and tight to low and away with the fastball and Heyward watches strike 3
The Mets have 3 with Cleveland, 3 with the Yankees, 3 with Detroit, 3 with MN and 3 with the Fish. They would probably work Cleveland, lose the series against the AL teams, and I don't know about the Fishy Mess series.
Mets will definitely implode. As they always do. I am embarassed. I live in Buffalo and the Bisons are their farm team, and saturday i went to a Bisons game, it was Star Wars nite and just randomly 3 Braves fans (1 including me) were screaming go Braves lol
No Jazzy Jeff, this is going to be a good year in Flushing. Pelfrey has emerged as the #1 pick he was, and it often takes a few seasons. Add in a knuckle-baller to throw off the timing of the NL hitters around a otherwise conventional staff, plus they are 31-20 over the last 51 with NO major Bay contribution yet.
Barajas was an awesome signing, too, and the pen has been stellar.
Braves are also for real, btw.
The only NL East team not to improve over the winter was Phillie-Lee was as effective for them in '09 as Halladay will be for several years. And Ibanez and Werth both have taken major steps backwards.
