B. Nimmo opens with a base hit.

I think the Mets want to get a bunch of guys in the top of the lineup who will see Martinez on opening day.

[Edgy MD]

Bases loaded.

d'Arnaud looks mean, tanned, and beefy.

[Edgy MD]

Mets settle for one.

Discussion about how Martinez showed up in camp last year with his hair dyed blue, and the brass had to take him aside and have a talk about maturity.

And yet, when Scott Spezio dyed his Satanic soul patch red for the post-season, he was being colorful.

Highlight reel pick by Sleepy Dom Smitty.

Martinez out of the game after throwing everything into the dirt.

Let's hope he's the Martinez we see on 3/27.

[Edgy MD]

McGowan spit the bit in the third, and the Mets are down 3-1.

Marcos Molina on for cause.

[Edgy MD]

And ... he gives up a three-run jobbie to his first batter.

[Edgy MD]

Two-run hit by Wecki. He gets thrown out going for second but he was seff.

The Cards' catcher is named Carson Kelly. I'm guessing his dad was a fan of Giants linebackers.

[Edgy MD]

P.J. Conlon on for the Mets wearing #80.

[Edgy MD]

Borenstein living up to Taijeron's fielding standard.

[Edgy MD]

Guillorme hits one a mile to center off of Bud Norris. A legit major league pitcher that!

Guillorme only has two regular season homers on his minor league record!

[Edgy MD]

Great story by Ron Darling about his first camp.

Ron: "I was invited to camp by the Rangers as a 22 year old. I got a locker next to the great Buddy Bell, who at that time was one of the better players in the league."

Keith: "GREAT guy."

Ron: "Buddy walked over and talked to the clubhouse attendant and two seconds later, my locker was next to the washer and dryer."

A box score write-up I saw said it went 400 feet.
OBP VS SLG .
That would have been four of his singles.
But I don't think he'll become homer-happy.
