If Pelfrey can't get an offspeed pitch over the plate, the batters won't need a "tip" to know the fastball is coming. yeah he pitched “well” until the second time through the lineup, at which point every hitter was sitting on the fastball.

I saw a picture of him in his Wichita state uni and he had a mouthguard in. I just don't understand why he has to chew on it. It makes him look like an idiot. If he pitches well I can overlook it though. FWIW, He’s been using the mouthguard since college. I saw a picture of him in his Wichita state uni and he had a mouthguard in.

When you consider that we lost making the playoffs by a game or two, this is huge. How could this happen???? Pisses me off. At least Pelfrey knows and I sure hope they will rectify the situation.

I was away on business last week. I was fortunate enough to spend a lot of time in PSL during my childhood though as my grandfather lived there. It was fun a whole host of Mets when they were in Single A. I still remember being there for a Butch Huskey walk off homer! I wish I was with Matt… I was away on business last week.

It drove me nuts how he was consistently hitting 96-97 in that Atlanta start, and then 90-91 the next ones. Good point.

Keith has talked about that in the booth more than once... how he used to love it when he saw a pitcher who normally kept the glove tight fanned it before a pitch.
