Heard that Bay might be back in the lineup this weekend. Chris Young , Thole and Beato are also on their way back. I guess Batista will go in the pen when Young gets called up.
Great Mets win. The bench players are really contributing in this lineup. Scott Hairston is a good player. Good outing by Hefner. Also, a homerun by a pitcher? When was the last time that happen. Trachsel? Mets are now 1.5 games back.
Frank Francisco has 14 saves. Tied for 1st with Papelbon and Kimbrel.
And Francisco hasn't pitched nearly as well as Papelbon or Kimbrel.

Francisco is by far the worst. He might have some saves, but plenty of pitchers could have converted those saves if they had been given the opportunity. Francisco is nothing special.

Did I say he is anything special? He is still up there in saves.
