Ex All-Star Makes Santana Pay In First Outing

New York added another lose to their spring training record today, losing 5-4 to the Cardinals in PSL.

  • Santana pitched two innings, giving up 3 runs in the first inning on a Juan Gonzalez home run. Johan gave up four hits and collected his first strikeout of the spring
  • Heilman and Wagner followed Santana both pitching a scoreless inning
  • Duaner Sanchez took the lose in the game after pitching one inning and giving up a run. he didn't feel any soreness in his arm after his performance
  • Reyes and Clark both had two hits, Wright and Delgado also added singles of their own
  • Gotay gave the Mets hope with a ninth innings home run his first of the spring

Santana finally made his Mets debut. It wasn't anything to brag about but at least its out of the way. Maybe some of the media craze will die down. It was nice to see some of the starters getting their at-bats in with most of them getting to the plate 3 times. I still can't say i am worried about the start to the Mets spring but if they are still win less going into the middle of next week the i will start to wonder whats going on......

I wouldnt worry about being winless after next week. Just remember the first year with willie when they started out 0-8 then won 8 straight. With the talent and chemistry they can get on a hot streak with the flip of a switch. And with Santana Id rather him start out bad then get better rather than Pelfrey last year domininating the spring training untill his last start then sucking through the season.
