One of my favorite contemporary musicals is Ragtime --I saw its U.S. premiere in L.A. an inordinate number of times (and found that production, which starred Brian Stokes Mitchell, LaChanze, Marcia Mitzman Gaven and John Dossett, superior to the later Broadway production), and I've had the pleasure of reviewing it a few times . So it was a pleasant surprise to read that it's getting a splendid, can-do...
In his lead for the Associated Press, Tom Saladino says it best, writing, “Another late lead and another bullpen meltdown for the New York Mets.” In yesterday’s loss, Mike Pelfrey handed off a two-run lead to his team’s bullpen, but Brian Stokes let up one run in the seventh, after which Scott Schoeneweis, Joe Smith, Pedro [...]
Ah, what an afternoon. Giants win, the Mets are up 4-2, Mike Pelfrey was cruising and then, in comes the guys we call a bullpen. This bullpen has no one, (except maybe Parnell) who can get guys out. Today, Jerry Manuel pressed his luck with Joe Smith, Scott Schoeneweis, Brian Stokes, and bunch of the [...]
Before Wednesday night, the last time Brian Stokes had given up a run was Aug. 18. He proceeded to go unscored against in his next 10 outings. Now Stokes has to rebound again. Stokes, who has emerged as one of the Mets' most valuable relievers...
The Mets won ugly with Mike Pelfrey, Aaron Heilman, and Brian Stokes all having off nights on the mound. David Wright had a monster 4 for 4 game with 3 [...] This is a brief summary of the content at MetsReport.com. Please visit the site to view the full blog post.
There were 141 relievers who pitched a significant number of innings in 2007, and only one had a higher earned run average than Brian Stokes. He had a 7.07 E.R.A. in Tampa Bay’s bullpen, which compiled the worst season by a relief corps in history.
Since August 19, the Mets bullpen is 7–3 with a 1.54 ERA, which is the best in baseball during tha time. Speaking of the bullpen, Aaron Heilman has made just one appearance in the last seven games. Meanwhile, Duaner Sanchez, Joe Smith, Nelson Figueroa, Brian Stokes, Luis Ayala and Pedro Feliciano each have four appearances. By the way, speaking of [...]
Last night, Nelson Figueroa, Duaner Sanchez, Brian Stokes, Pedro Feliciano, Joe Smith and Luis Ayala combined to pitch seven scoreless innings in relief. Technically, Figueroa allowed a run to score in the fourth, but it was charged to Jon Niese. Manuel told reporters that ‘his plan,’ or ‘the idea,’ given the number of relievers on the roster, [...]
Pedro won his 5th game, going 6 innings, giving up 7 hits, 2 runs, walked 1, struck out 4. The Bullpen held up today going 3 innings, 3 hits, no runs, 2 walks , 3 strikeoutss. Brian Stokes finished the game.. David Wright and Nick Evans had back to back HR's. David Wright's HR was the go ahead run. Jose Reyes continues to hit. He went 2 for 5 and has extended his 10 game hit streak.. Mets will head...
A 4 run margin going into the 9th inning is certainly not, in the venacular of the Mets' bullpen, a safe lead. However, with Brian Stokes acting as the closer du jour, combined with a diving catch by Jose Reyes to end the game, the Mets managed to squeak by with another valuable victory. After this comes the call-up of fresh arms from the farm clubs to restock the bullpen and give Jerry Manuel even...
Mets 6, Phillies 3: A day after blowing a 7-0 lead, the Mets made a smaller comeback from 3-1 and 3-2 deficits before Carlos Delgado hit his second homer. Delgado finished with three RBI and D. Murphy and B. Schneider capped off the 8th inning to get Brian Stokes his first win of the season [...]
The Mets split the two game set against the Phillies, taking the second game by a score of 6-3 this evening at Citizens Bank Park. Brian Stokes got the win for the Mets, and Rudy Seanez took the loss for the Phils. Luis Ayala tossed a 1,2,3 ninth for his second save as a Met. Starter [...]
Now that it's official, John Maine is on the DL and the rest of his season is in jeopardy, the Mets need to find another starter. Brian Stokes can spot start and I know alot of people will be clamouring for Jon Niese or Bobby Parnell, but I'd go with a more conservative approach, Claudio Vargas. John Maine's spot has approximately five starts left which means the team needs a tested professional to...
Nothing like a little bit of local news fluff to distract from the sheer horror of John Maine going on the disabled list. The New York Post reports Brian Stokes will likely assume Maine’s spot in the rotation, while Jon Niese could potentially be called upon to make his major league debut after September 1. Could [...]
