Mets lose an UGLY game to the Phillies also ATL

Mets lost to the Phillies 5 to 2, before the game started the thoughts were Perez is going to prove again he is a different pitcher, and that the Mets were going to show why Adam Eaton is overpaid. We get into the game and its the complete opposite

Oliver Perez started the game for The Mets and after cruising through the first couple of batters Perez just fell apart. Perez walked 7!!! during the 3rd inning and was taken out after hitting Barajas on a 2-2 pitch with the bases loaded. Perez's final line was 2.2 innings 1 hit 7 walks and 3 ER.

Aaron Sele came in the game for long relief and really did a great job keeping the Mets in the game. Sele saved the bullpen from being overused by pitching 4.1 innings giving up 2 runs.

Jose Reyes was the only Met hitter with 2 hits, and also the only Met hitter to drive in a run off of Adam Eaton. Reyes is now batting .333 on the season

David Wright going 1 for 3 on Wednesday kept his 20 game hitting streak in tact.

Adam Eaton started the game for the Phillies and pitched great as he silenced this Met offense. Eaton pitched 7 innings giving up just 4 hits 2 earned runs while striking out 5. ERA 6.94

Adam Rowand had a good night at the plate going 2 for 3 with 2 RBI's.

~Perez was just horrible tonight but I had some questions on pitch selection, it didn't seem Perez was shaking Lo Duca off but 2ce that I saw with the bases loaded 2 strikes while Perez had no control at all Lo Duca called a slider which 1nce was ball 4 and the other time hit the batter which was Perez's final batter of the game. I don't see why you would throw a slider in that situation even though the hitter is looking fastball Perez couldn't throw a strike, and I just thought it was a bad job by Lo Duca calling those pitches. Whats scary is if Perez would of just got that last hitter out he would of only gave up 2 runs while giving up 7 WALKS and maybe could of went out there and found himself and you never know with Perez he could of got on track and pitched 2 more innings.

~David Wright kept his 20 game hitting streak alive but he looks awful at the plate. Wright's at bat usually goes like this; Fastball taken right down the middle Strike 1. Changeup low swung at strike 2. A couple of pitches taken 2-2. Slider outside that he swings at 90% of the time for strike 3. Sometimes you just wish you could talk to the player just be like GET A LITTLE CLOSER TO THE PLATE DON'T TAKE THE FIRST PITCH FASTBALL IT'S THE BEST PITCH YOUR GOING TO GET WITH 2 STRIKES YOUR GOING TO GET THE SLIDER LOOK TO GO THE OTHER WAY. You would expect Rick Down or Wright would see this in video maybe they do but Wright is going to have to fix it quick because he's a huge part of this offense especially against lefty's which the Mets will be facing today in Jamey Moyer.
