RA Dickey’s Not One For Self Promotion
After getting the not-so-hard fought win the Mets 14-3 victory over the Tigers, RA Dickey told the gathering of reporters at his locker:
“What you guys are doing here is a little bit ridiculous. If I’m even mentioned in an article, I’m going to boycott.”
It was a nice little night for the Mets offense with Jason Bay and Carlos Beltran hitting grand slams in back-to-back innings. They were the first grand slams for the Mets since Angel Pagan’s bases clearing shot on August 1, 2009. When they come, they come in bunches. Or something like that.
It was not such a pleasant evening for Rick Porcello (3.2 IP, 11 H, 7 ER) or Daniel Schlereth (1.1 IP, 4 H, 6 ER). Porcello may still be young, but his prospect sheen is quickly fading. Not only has Porcello’s strikeout rate failed to markedly improve in his third Major League season, but his groundball rate is the lowest it has ever been. Needless to say, that’s not the goal of player development.

Both slams came off Daniel Schlereth. One...the truly bad relief outings you’ll ever see.
