Another week, another couple of sweeps involving the Mets. They lost three straight to the Reds over the weekend, but rebounded to take a trio of games from the Orioles. The bullpen was a little bitter than usual, and R.A. Dickey continues to be the best pitcher on the planet. On to the ratings!
| Player | Last Week | This Week | Comment |
|---|---|---|---|
| Miguel Batista, RHP |  |
 |
Batista allowed just one hit and walk in 2.2 innings of relief work. |
| Tim Byrdak, LHP | |
|
Byrdak recorded just one out, but it was a strikeout. Strikeouts are good. |
| R.A. Dickey, RHP |  |
|
Just another complete-game one-hitter from Dickey, this time with 13 K. He now has 103 K and just 21 BB on the season. |
| Frank Francisco, RHP | |
 |
Francisco only got into one save situation, walking in a run last night before ultimately escaping the mess he created. |
| Dillon Gee, RHP | |
|
In 13.1 innings spanning two starts, Gee had 13 K and 3 BB as he continues to look like a much better pitcher than he was last year. Home runs remain a weakness, however, as he served up three. |
| Jeremy Hefner, RHP | |
|
Last week, Hefner didn't have an appearance, and this week, he only had a one-inning outing in which he gave up three hits and a pair of runs. |
| Jon Niese, LHP | |
|
Against the Reds' lineup, Niese notched 7 K and only issued 1 BB in 7 innings, but he gave up 4 ER in the process. |
| Bobby Parnell, RHP | |
|
Captain Fastball had just 1 K in 1.2 innings but looked very good throughout. |
| Elvin Ramirez, RHP | |
|
Ramirez has yet to produce results like he did in Buffalo, but he wasn't awful this week. |
| Ramon Ramirez, RHP |  |
|
Ramirez is with High-A St. Lucie making rehab appearances as he recovers from a strained hamstring suffered during the post-no-hitter celebratory dogpile. |
| Jon Rauch, RHP | |
|
For a guy who looked destined for a long-term stint on the disabled list a couple weeks ago, Rauch has pitched very well of late. |
| Johan Santana, LHP | |
|
After a couple of rough starts, Santana looked like himself again in his outing against the Orioles on Tuesday night with six scoreless. |
| Chris Young, RHP | |
|
Young may not be a dominant pitcher, but he managed seven strong innings against the Reds. He now has a 3.06 ERA and 3.00 FIP since his return but has yet to surrender a home run. |
