30 Plays in 30 Days: New York Mets SS Ruben Tejada flashing the leather, making a backhanded, twist and throw play to get the runner at first

I’m very proud of these 4 guys. How can I begin to explain the seasons they have had this year?

  • R.A. Dickey has been nothing short of AMAZIN’. He’s having the best season for a Met pitcher in years. He currently has the best WL record in the MLB amongst pitchers, with a record of 17-4 and is bidding for the 2012 National League Cy Young award.
  • David Wright’s season can easily be spoken for. He’s been more than great and is having one of his best seasons as a New York Met. He leads the team in RBI, total bases, hits, runs, walks and stolen bases. No surprise there.
  • Ruben Tejada has filled in nicely at shortstop following the departure of his predecessor. He’s batted over .300 for pretty much the entire year and has proven that he belongs on the Mets. 
  • Ike Davis, his season has been very strange. He had a horrible start that lots of people (including himself) would like to forget about. Many people began to wonder if he should be sent down to the minors to work on himself. However, the Mets believed in him and never sent him down. Now he’s finishing very strongly. He leads the team with 25 HRs, and is 2nd in RBI, trailing David Wright by only 4.

Who else misses Ruben Tejada…like a lot?

Ruben Tejada’s weekend a near-perfect ‘10’

Today, Ruben Tejada became the first Met since Edgardo Alfonzo 12 years ago, also in Denver, to have 10 hits in a three-game series. 

After a 10-for-17 weekend, he’s now hitting .310, 105 points higher than his predecessor. 

Said Tejada: “I concentrated everything to the right. I’m taking a lot of pitches and making contact to right field now. I feel really good now. It was a great series for me, a great series for the team. We have to keep playing like that.”
