Note: Reyes would rather Win, Me Too
During yesterday’s loss to the Marlins, Jose Reyes hit a home run in his first at bat, he hit a home run in his second at bat, he then walked, popped out and grounded out to go 2 for 4 on the day.
Reyes also made a fielding error in the first, on a ground ball that could have ended the inning, allowing Jorge Cantu to reach base, who eventually scored on a double by Mike Jacobs.
Following the game, Reyes told reporters:
“It’s nice to have two home runs in the game, but we need a win and we didn’t get it.”
Reyes has reached base in 26 straight games, during which the Mets 11–15.
He has an 11–game hitting streak, during which he has raised his batting average 20 points, but has walked just twice in 48 at bats.
Asked if he believes his team can turn the page, from the last few days, and rebound to have a good season, Reyes said:
“There’s no doubt about it. There’s a lot of baseball left. This team just has to keep fighting. We are a very good team. We’re gonna turn it around. We believe in this talent, and we’re gonna be fine.”
…hmmm, where have i heard that before…sounds familiar…
