He's gone 7 and 7 1/3 already this year, so I wouldnt think too much of it. It was a blowout afterall. The pitchers who followed him hadnt pitched in 2,3, and 4 days so they probably needed the work. They need to be developed as well... I dont know what Niese's pitch count was, but they were playing with the DH so it was probably just to curb his use. He's only 21, yada yada, typical crap... He went 6 earlier this year with 2 hits and 1 walk, which tells me they just arent going to let him go more than 6 this year. in Bosticks case it sure looks like he should have.

"LHP Adam Bostick was terrific, surrendering just one run on two hits and three walks in six innings" "LHP Jon Niese was terrific, tossing six innings of shutout baseball" six innings...six innings...how can we expect them to go 7, 8, 9 (!) innings for the Mets if they don't learn to do it in the minors? I know (I KNOW!) you don't want overuse young pitchers. But still. Couldn't those guys have gone one more inning? Maybe this is where it starts…
