BIG PELF GETS IT DONE

Atta boy BIG PELF. He threw strikes (66 out of 100 pitches). He didn’t give up the big hit after Reyes’ misplay on a perfect double play ball in the 2nd. And he had excellent stuff.

Last night the Phillies played like the Mets had been playing making 4 errors, and although the Mets only had 5 hits, for one day, finally the Mets got a couple of good bounces and took advantage of them.

Willie summed it up real well with Big Pelf saying “The name of the game in this league is to be consistent. We know what he’s capable of doing and the thing is for him to believe he can do it consistently…This is just one start, but for him it’s nice to get off on the right foot”

I agree 100% and I’m looing forward to the big fella’s second start next week. I like what I saw between Pelfrey and Schneider, with Schneider taking charge, visiting the mound to keep Pelfrey focused and make sure he didn’t nibble. It’s very exciting to watch, and hopefully going forward he will only get better.
