PITTSBURGH - On Friday night, as Jose Reyes waited on deck for his turn at bat, a fan of the Pirates began to taunt him, trying in vain to highlight some perceived flaws in the game Reyes. The disruptive shouted that Reyes, who is in the final year of his contract, would never get a salary similar to that of seven years, $ 142 million deal the Red Sox have Carl Crawford last winter and Reyes stressed that does not touch home runs.
Reyes, who hit a single entry in the game, proceeded to lash a home run to right field, with emphasis muzzle violence with perfect timing. On Sunday, as if to reinforce the point he made this fan grief, Reyes drilled another circuit in the Mets 7-0 victory over the Pittsburgh Pirates.
Lately, it seems there is nothing Reyes can not do.
He went 3 of 5 Sunday's game in major league leading 33rd multi-hit, scored two points and raised his batting average to.346, highest in baseball. He continued to play excellent defense as well, with several fine pieces shortstop. After the game, his manager has said the leading candidate for the most awards of the National League Valuable Player.
"Obviously, I can see it every day, and in my mind is," Manager Terry Collins said, "then that would be yes."
The veteran pitcher Jason ISRINGHAUSEN impact report on Reyes of the Mets than shortstop Troy Tulowitzki Rockies, who just received a 10-year, $ 157 million contract from Colorado. The Mets play in the biggest market in baseball, and usually re-signing of a popular local talent like Reyes would be an easy decision.
But the financial errors by the Mets' owners have left open the possibility that they will not be able to pay Reyes, who was at its peak at 28, he could command as a free agent after the season. Although trade mid-season seems less likely with each passing day, especially since the Mets are showing good potential unexpected they hover around 0500, Reyes could play his last months as a Met.
"I do not have that decision, man," he said, unable to contain a smile. "I told you guys again and again, I do not have that decision. I'll keep playing and do my job and help this team more than I can, and whatever happens in the future happens. Currently, the only thing I can control is to keep playing. "
Sunday, Reyes had six total bases, giving him 144 on the season, which is third in the championship behind Matt Kemp of the Dodgers, and Prince Fielder of the Brewers. He is first in baseball with 11 triples and third stolen bases with 20.
In the National League, he is the third in runs with 47 and tied for third with 19 doubles. It also has the most hits in baseball with 94.
Reyes failed to get a hit in one of its last 18 games, and during that time, he hit.427 with 5 triples, 6 doubles, 2 homers and 21 runs.
It is still far from winning a prize, but two weeks in June, he plays better than he ever has.
"I think so," he said. "Right now, my whole career, I've never hit more than 0340, so now I have a routine and I have been compatible with everything, so hopefully I can continue with the same routine. "
His performance on Sunday was part of a commanding victory in which starter Chris Capuano acute masterfully, holding pirates aimlessly on three hits in seven innings.
Capuano needed to be a good match for Pirates starter Kevin Correia, who did not allow a runner base until Jason Bay ground-ball single with two outs in the fifth. Bay continued to show signs of crawling out of his downfall, as he also drove home the first run of the game with a sacrifice fly in the seventh.
It became one of the weird moments in the game because Angel Pagan, who was running on the first play, was called on a call to end the inning because, after rounding second he never touched again as he scampered back to first.
Pagan up for the gaffe by jumping to catch ball in flight Lyle Overbay at the wall at the bottom of the inning. The ball was hit so deep that the operator for the home run fireworks display at PNC Park fired a salute in honor premature. A fun Pagan turned around and waved at the pyrotechnics.
