Orlando Hernandez made his first rehab start tonight, and top prospect Jon Niese took the ball in Binghamton's season opener. I followed each game until Niese and Hernandez were taken out. www.metsprospectus.blogspot.com FINAL LINE: Orlando Hernandez: 5 IP, 3 Hits, 2 ER, 6 k's Jon Niese (stands to get the win): 5 IP, H, 0 ER, BB, 5 k's St. Lucie: 8:45: El Duque is done for the night after 5 innings pitched. 8:38: Another solid inning by El Duque. He didn't give up a hit, and allowed just one base runner on a HBP. Not sure if he's done, but I'll keep you updated. Meanwhile the St. Lucie Mets have tied up the game at 2, thanks to doubles by Lucas Duda and Wabick. 8:15: Nice bounce back inning for Orlando Hernandez, who retired Vero Beach 1-2-3. His line so far: 4 IP 3 hits 2 ER 5 k's. 7:55: Ruff third inning for El Duque.. He gave up 2 runs on 3 hits, including a solo homerun to Matt field. He also walked a batter and had a wild pitch in the inning. 7:30: Hernandez's second inning, much like his first, no hits, no runs, and a strike out. 2 IP 0 hits 3 k's so far. 7:20: Orlando Hernandez threw a 1-2-3 first inning, while striking out two batters. Binghamton: 7:50: After another scoreless inning, Jon Niese may be done. If he is, he'll end with a final line of 5 IP, H, 0 ER, BB, 5 k's. 7:30: RBI ground out from SS prospect Emmanuel Garcia to give the Binghamton Mets a 2-0 lead. Niese continues to roll, as he just finished pitching a scoreless 4th. 7:20: Jon Niese has thrown 3 scoreless innings, and has struck out three batters. Meanwhile, 1B prospect Mike Carp has hit a homerun in his first at bat off of lefty Chase Wright. Wasn’t sure where to post this, so sorry for the double post.

It is his regular day and would set him up to pitch in both Philly series and the other series against Atlanta later in the month. If he waits until Sunday Johan will miss both Philly series, Willie better pitch Johan on Saturday.

I am concerned that after he out-pitches the entire Mets pitching staff (including Johan) this year he is not going to be happy with the donk amount of money he is making.

I thought that they should have walked utley and gone after howard since he has alot of holes in his swing. He does hold the all time record for k's in a season. But the more I thought of it, there really isn't any need to pitch to a fly ball hitting former MVP if you have a base open and a fly ball wins the game. I think they did the right thing walking him and looking for the dp, it's just a shame the pitcher sucks and kenny rogered the game.
