Mets Stuff  - Ike Davis, Bullpen, Matt Harvey, Pinkies

*** A Mets Caution *** - The Mets ownership team is operating far less professional that the team on the field. Giving away free or highly discounted tickets designed to masquerade poor ticket sales is only attracting young fans with no sophistication and very little knowledge how the game is played.

Tuesday night's game was a perfect example. A 4-0 team has to put up with booing Jason Bay, doing the wave, and singing "Jose Jose" when young Ruben Tejada couldn't make a play. Act like an ass nightly and you'll lose the respect of the team. Lose the respect of the team and lose the positive adreneline coming out of the clubhouse right now. Sandy, keep the kids home on their computers trashing people like me.

Tyler Pill with a great start for Low-A Savannah. 6IP, 0ER, 3H, 0BB, 7K, No Decision

Justin Turner‏ @redturn2- -  lot of fun tonight!!! 4-0 let's keep it rolling 2morrow night! And get on

Per Adam Rubin:

Terry Collins plans to rest Ike Davis on Tuesday, as to not overtax the first baseman, who doctors suspect has a latent case of valley fever. Davis should get more clarity with respect to the illness when he visits doctors in New York earlier in the day for a follow-up test planned since the issue first was flagged in a spring-training physical.

-good move… he’s getting nothing to hit batting in front of Jason Bay and a reason to sit him other than saying he’s slumping is a good mover

Ike Davis:

            "Hey," I only struck out once today. That's something."  

Rich Coutinho‏ @ - I do not know what rest of the season will tell u about the Mets but know this--this group is determined to prove the world wrong

Michael Baron‏ @michaelgbaronReply -  I can't remember a time during the season I have been anxious to get the next game underway.

Terry Collins:

"I think we want to show our fans that what we say, maybe there's some truth to it."

Sandy Alderson had a vision going into the offseason, and that was to re-shape the Mets’ bullpen. He planned to do it with a mixture of veterans and youth, acquiring Ramon Ramirez, Jon Rauch and Frank Francisco while retaining the incumbent relievers he thought showed the most promise: Tim Byrdak, Manny Acosta, Bobby Parnell and Miguel Batista. And in the first four games of the season, each of those hurlers has contributed to the team’s perfect 4-0 start. http://newyork.cbslocal.com/2012/04/10/coutinho-mets-bullpen-continues-to-shine

Matt Harvey  - 5IP, 2R/ER, 4K, BB, 7H. 92/61 pitches. 95-FB , sharp curve, very cold out

            -baseball needs to keep all ERA/WHIP stats separate for SPs that pitch in games under 40 degrees.

David Wright’s finger is broken.

            -last year, when David went down, Zach Lutz was going to get the call, but was injured the next game…  now… hmm…
