Even though he was just 1-8 during the Mets three- game wipe of the Braves Ike Davis continues to impress. He hit his first home run聽 on April 23 a 450-foot bomb and since he joined the team on April 19 the Mes have a record of 6-1.

Kevin Youkilis was 5-13 in the weekend series with the Baltimore Orioles including a double his third home run of the season and four RBI. The orioles took two of the three games.

Ryan Braun was held to one measly single in 11 at bats during the Brewers three-game sweep by the Cubs.

John Grabow pitched in the April 24 game giving up a walk and hit in .2 innings.

Gabe Kapler had a good weekend series against the Blue Jays In the April 23 6-5 loss he was 1-3 with his first home run of the year scored two runs and drove in two. The next game 鈥?a 9-3 win 鈥?he was 1-3 with a double and run scored.

Scott Feldman didn鈥檛 make it out of the fourth inning in his April 24 start against the Tigers giving up all the runs 鈥?although 鈥渙nly鈥?four were earned 鈥?in the 8-4 loss. Feldman yielded eight hits and four walks except it was serene better than his previous outing against the Yankees when he gave up 7/2 and four runs in 2.1 innings.

This is my problem with some of the statistical procedures. Craig Breslow came into the April 24 game against the Indians with with a two out and a runner on first. He gave up a single to the next batter to move the runner to third then gave up another single to drive the run in. He聽 doesn鈥檛 get charged with the run though his inefficiency let the man score (he also walked a batter so three of the four Indians he faced reached base). Scott Schoeneweis came into an admittedly tougher wituation 鈥?basese loaded and no one out 鈥?but he turned yesterday鈥檚 4-4 tie into a 7-4 deficit yet his ERA actually goes down since his last batter popped out on a bunt attempt. He also pitched .2 innings and gave up two hits the day before. I don鈥檛 understand what the solution is and I鈥檓 sure there are some metrics out there to keep seek (since every little move is quantiifed) I鈥檓 just sayin鈥欌?
