-Mets to FINALLY kick off their season tonight against the lefty Matt Moore
-Stroman at Chase Anderson tomorrow
-Peterson at Nola Wednesday
-Sandy thinks a Conforto extension still possible. Will continue dialogue with Boras into the season
-Lindor extension officially announced
-Alderson also brought up Syndergaard. "we’d like to keep as many players on the current roster as possible–especially the homegrown talent."
-With the long layoff bats are probably ice cold but LFGM!!!!!!!!
Lineups to come:
Besides Segura the Phillies smoked the ball off him.

Castro looked pretty dang good there, and was lights out all spring.

The Segura AB was huge and he should have had two outs off that weak hit. Was spotting a 101 mph fastball on the corners and got a really nice looking slider over the plate as well.
that one was not. tying run to the plate.
Exactly what Mets didn’t need.
Sandy can’t put together s bullpen
In Rojas defense, Castro pitched the 7th and gave up no runs
same shit different year.
Guillerme. The defensive specialist. Lol
they need less guys playing unnatural positions
they need less over managing (play the best players)
I'm less annoyed with pulling JDG early than not having Dom Smith in the game with the bases loaded to break the game open. And not having Marwin or someone who has actually played 3b available to come in and play 3rd late in a game.
first I believe his manager sabotaged him (until we hear differently) taking him out an inning too early.
second, a glove first infielder brought in for defense makes a wide throw to the plate on an easy force out (pitcher did his job) the newly added free agent catcher drops the wide throw that still hit his glove. two runs scored on that play and put another runner in scoring position that allowed a SF because their was just one out.

31st time in deGroms career that the bullpen blew a win for him. man.
lol, not funny, but what else can you do?
I wonder if that's a stat to see how other pitchers fare in this "contest", I heard it on the broadcast.
But it’s not just about this game. It’s about a pen
That has five RH relievers who have great movement but cannot consistently locate their pitches.
Lugo is the only reliable reliever who can actually locate. Until he comes back, no
Lead is safe with this Collection of clowns. It’s like we have five Benitez’s
Pete just missed that... damn!
Oh well. Get em tomorrow.
Could use less fight, more basic plays, like completing a simple throw from 3rd to home.
play the best players. the BP isn't good enough (at this point) to be cute. and the defense will likely never be good enough.
I think he felt on a limb with the Pillar decision so he didn't want to bail on it and bail on him. But that's why the decision to give him the team's first at bat of the season was stupid in the first place. He's at best what, the 9th or 10th best hitter on the team?
never go more than a couple of days after a bad loss.

“I’m satisfied,” Luis Rojas said of the decisions made tonight.
In other words: He felt the processes were solid. The results just didn’t come.
If you state that you started him due to a lefty pitcher, and he's removed, then you have every reason to pinch hit.
first I believe his manager sabotaged him (until we hear differently) taking him out an inning too early.

There ya go. Easy throw to home there that wasn't executed well by Guillorme or McCann.
Just made a 2-part bet with my Phillies fan buddy.
Part 1: $100 Mets finish with better record than Phils.
Part 2: Mets win division, for another $100.
Obviously, I hate money.
If Mets don't finish better than Phils, it's worst case scenario.
If Pete just keeps the inning going, Dom is up with a chance to win the game. That's what you want.
