looking goood, 96 mph with a good circle change


He looked very good but Keith continues to mention how far ahead of the hitters the pitchers are at this point in ST.
Callahan next

liked the Rhame pickup but he's the kind of guy who looks good early in ST, big velocity, secondaries are the issue.
And spring training is showing itself this inning  
Shecky : 2/23/2018 2:25 pm : link
Depends how you gun a guy. Out of hand or crossing plate. Ithats one reason guys throw harder nowadays. Ignore stadium guns. How the hitters reacting is way more indicative.
Fans on the other hand. Mid season form  
Shecky : 2/23/2018 2:26 pm : link
Group of maybe 75 in LF. Hats off to them for a February game all game. Just drive safe please.
Like the throwback look though  
Shecky : 2/23/2018 2:29 pm : link
Everyone playing the field other than Felexen and Alonso. Wearing the old school knicker look. Like it.

on Dom... on at least once occasion he was pulled aside by a veteran regarding his habits, lateness etc last season which in part is likely why Sandy so openly took shots at him this off-season.
I know this isn't really funny, but I find it funny

I asked Dom Smith what time he was supposed to show up today: "Whenever the meeting started, before that," he said.

Molina and Bautista are the 2 guys I'm excited to see the most of here.
Theres something about spring training baseball

that is just so calming and familiar.

Nice play by Dom Smith, even if his foot was off the bag lol.
Damn Dom

Finally got to watch the rest of the Mets game today and one thing I have to say is that ball was absolutely smoked by Luis Guillorme. Hes a legitimate starting second baseman candidate if he shows a little pop.

With the rave reviews his glove gets and solid contact profile he may be a real sleeper. Probably need to go back to Ordonez/Alfonzo to find a better potential double play combo at ss/2b - obvious caveat being if he can hit enough.

Order is Syndergaard, Matz, Harvey, Vargas.
I think I'm more anxious to see Harvey  
Rob in Rockaway : 2/25/2018 4:52 pm : link
than the rest.
So far Wheeler, Lugo, Gsellman, and Montero  
ZGiants98 : 2/25/2018 7:07 pm : link
have all looked fantastic and none are making the rotation. lol
So I just looked at the TV schedule  
Rob in Rockaway : 2/25/2018 7:39 pm : link
and of course the only game not televised will be Wednesday which I think is Harvey's start.

John Harper had an article today about Wheeler potentially doing for the Mets what Chad Green did for the Yankees last year. That would be great as long as his arm doesn't fall off.

Unless you have an absolute Ace on the mound the game is trending away from having starters go through the order a 3rd time.

Theyve all pitched like one inning a piece.
I wouldnt put any stock in numbers this spring  
Shecky : 2/25/2018 8:56 pm : link
Especially the pitchers. Lots of tinkering going on. What you wat to look for is a secondary pitch improving as the spring goes on. Or locating the fastball low. And in.

Same with some of the hitters as well, but a lesser extent. Ex. The one everyone has talked about, Lagares. Unfortunately I dont see that one clicking.

I'm not sure if it's new this season. However, I heard that until march 1st, the road team does not have to send any stars to the games. So in turn when watching a home game, the competition is not as good as would normally be.
First 7-10 days

On second and third pitch. So much for ramping it up
Verlander looked great

Thor. Otherworldly. He is so much fun to watch throw. Makes it look soooooo easy.
They  
DanMetroMan : 2/26/2018 1:22 pm : link
need depth but Griffin is a terrible add for LV.
They just dont believe in aaa depth  
Shecky : 2/26/2018 1:30 pm : link
Never made sense, never got it.

Verlander is just toying with them. Alonso looked so silly lol. On his way back in the dugout you could just see the look on his face luck fuck, I aint ready for the majors just yet.
Nimmo on the other hand is so comfortable. That in his mind he KNOWS the ump blew it and it was a ball by inches. Great confidence in his command of the zone

Verlander is just a pure pro. Sucks its only two innings, but this is what makes baseball a beautiful game.
This is just incredible.  
Shecky : 2/26/2018 1:32 pm : link
This needs to be a World Series matchup between these two

One throwing 96 and dropping it in at 86. With pinpoint.

The other popping 100 and the offspeed is 90-92.
