Note: Niese gets first Win
In his second major-league start, Jon Niese let up no runs and six hits while striking out seven and walking two, through eight innings, in a win against the Braves yesterday.
…the biggest difference between this start and his first start, against the Brewers, was that he looked significantly more comfortable and confident yesterday against the Braves…he looked like a nervous wreck, and pitched like it, against the Brewers…
…i’m sure having a few thousand people chanting, ‘Lets Go Niese,’ will help you get pumped up, too…
Niese, speaking to reporters after the game, said:
“With 50,000 fans chanting your name it’s a dream come true. Every kid in America dreams about that. The fans in New York are some of the best fans in the world. It gives you that little extra push when you’ve got that many people behind you.”
According to the Journal News, “Niese became the youngest Mets’ player to win a game since Bill Pulsipher in 1995.”
