Pick 'em

Which is more amazing: the sharp transition in pelf's game from bad to great; the tremendous resurgence of delgado; or sanchez falling off a cliff?

One thing not surprising to me: with Alou permanently out of the way, allowing Chavez to get into rhythm, he is batting far more productively. Players like Alou and Castillo are killers because their on-again-off-again pattern never allows the backups to get into a comfortable groove.

According to the Post:

In Pelfrey's last 11 starts, the Mets are 10-1, and he's 7-0 with a 2.57 ERA.

The key thing with him was getting over that mental hump. As we've posted before, he was particularly frustrating because his stuff is so good that he should always have been dominating. He just didn't trust his stuff enough to pound the zone and throw strikes by people. Now that he does trust himself it could be lights out for a while.
