Quote: Mentally, Pelfrey Wasn’t In It
Last night, Mike Pelfrey broke a streak of five consecutive ‘Quality Starts,’ by letting up five runs, eight hits, a home run and two walks against the Nationals.
Pelfrey, on his outing, speaking to
reporters following last night’s game, said:
“I don’t want to make too big of a deal out of it…You know, obviously, I didn’t have it. Physically I didn’t feel great, I think there was even a time when nobody was on and I threw a pitch from the stretch. You know, so, mentally I wasn’t in to it either. The best thing to come out of it tonight is that we won…
“I felt like I let the team down, but the offense scored a lot of runs and they did a great job, as did the guys in the bullpen, we won and it’s huge…I think that’s the sign of being a great team, picking each other up.”
The Mets are 1–2 in Pelfrey’s last three starts.
