Comments on: What We Learned from the Mets’ Sweep of the Atlanta Braves http://metsmerizedonline.com/2012/04/what-we-learned-from-the-mets-sweep-of-the-atlanta-braves.html Sun, 19 May 2013 07:38:17 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.5.1 By: sarge http://metsmerizedonline.com/2012/04/what-we-learned-from-the-mets-sweep-of-the-atlanta-braves.html#comment-241871 sarge Mon, 09 Apr 2012 21:14:13 +0000 http://metsmerizedonline.com/?p=76730#comment-241871 Many games were lost by the confusion of BP last year and this year, I’ll give SA credit for this one, there is some veteran presence though not completely lights out but you have a few pieces that could close so it doesn’t have to fall on Francisco all the time if he is struggling.

Nothing worse than playing a great game and having your BP blow the lead at the end :)

David looked a lot better at the plate and Duda seems like the 2nd coming of Dunn but hopefully more agile and able to play OF/1B for Mets.

I can see Mets having 2nd best in the NL East

The bullpen is an often overlooked piece of any contending team. A solid bullpen can take you a long way. Parnell-Byrdak-Ramirez-Rauch-Francisco looked very solid.

I know he throws like a girl and has lost a step, but played sparingly he might come thru in tough situations.

Remember, the Mets started 3-1 last year (if my memory hasn’t failed me) and we know how the rest of April went.

I think the one thing we saw is…if our starters pitch to expectations and we don’t suffer any major injuries, this team ins’t as bad as everyone feared.

The bullpen was a major reason the Mets won the series.
