The Mets have committed 13 errors behind Niese in the lefty's 12 starts. That's the second most any team has committed behind any single pitcher. Only Oakland has made more errors behind Jesse Chavez.
"It is what it is," Niese said. "A lot more balls are put in play against me, more so than against some of the other high-strikeout guys we have. I guess the more opportunities for that ball to be put in play, the more chances there are for errors. I guess it just happens."
When it has happened, Niese has had a hard time stopping it from snowballing.
