Quote: Martinez after Simulated Game
By Matthew Cerrone - Mar 12, 2008 9:04 am

Pedro Martinez successfully tossed a 59–pitch simulated game yesterday at Tradition Field.

To watch video of Martinez’s session, go to the Daily News.

Martinez talked with reporters after the ‘game,’ and said:

“I think the stamina’s there, the strength is there to go over four innings…I got a little more than 55 pitches and still felt pretty good…Today, I just felt like I was starting to warm up.  I’m thinking, if it was a real game and I felt so good, it would have been the same.  The key is just to feel healthy, and I really felt that today.  I feel like I’m really, really healthy…

For more on Martinez’s day, including more quotes from Martinez, as well as from Rick Peterson, read the Bergen Record, Star-Ledger, the New York Times, and the Journal News.

    Do we know why Pedro pitched another sim game instead a real game? I know the first one was because of the rainout, what was the reason this time?

    • darkstar73 says:

      he didn’t want to travel to pitch against the Sox yesterday, and it was his scheduled day to pitch, so he pitched sim game at home instead.

    • Another Matt says:

      Pedro does not do away games in ST (viz. “I told you I don’t play in gray pants” quote after the rain-out).

      He only agreed to make the trip to the rainout because it wasn’t that far and he’s itching for pitching

      Yesterday was a much longer bus ride, hence no Pedro.

    He scheduled to pitch a live game Sunday.

    Like The Jacket said, “It’s one small step for Pedro, one giant leap for the Mets” lol I found that funny. Btw I will be at that game Sunday, as well as Johan’s game Saturday.
