A guy who is breaking out of a slump usually hits line drives and or balls up the middle. It shows his timing is good and that he is hitting all of the ball.

HRs are usually the product of an Uppercut which is always going to be vulnerable to the low outside pitch as the uppercut tends to make you swing over it.

Look at David’s Ks and you see that is precisely what is happening.

He did hit some hard balls yesterday so he could be on the verge but those HRs are not the sign of it.

He got some hangers that were up and out enough in the zone to let the uppercut do it’s work.

UP and out is usually the product of a mistake trying to throw out and down by the pitcher. And everyone should hit HRs on those. Not just guys who are hitting well.

Boy, things turn ugly quickly for Young when he keeps the ball up too much.

He was great in first three, but then he lost it. Strange that such a large man gets so litttle velocity. That was clearly his worst game, and you could see how angry he was with himself.

No slight to the Nats; they have hitters.

Hats off to our bullpen. What was clearly the weakest link a couple of weeks back looks now as if it is really coming together.

Let’s Go Mets!

Sickening………

I just caught all the 5 references.

5th win, 5th save, Wright’s 5 and 0-5.

Touche, Hojo.

Hey at least there was no Dibble on the MLB broadcast, he and Carpenter used to make me crazy, the new guy; Santangelo I think is a little more level headed, not a homer.

David should of had two rbi there but all you can do is hit the ball hard, as he did, and then your hits will fall in.

Last year this game would of ended with Bernadino taking K Rod or Izzy deep, as he did last year, but no to be denied the resurgent Mets are playing better.

Also, I take back Wright winning the POTW. I was hoping he was breaking out of a slump.
Uh…maybe not.
