Things could always be worse ... six teams are idle tomorrow as the league adjusts to this new longer season and it's Thursday kick off.

I'm in 128 tomorrow if anyone's around.

Sunday off days. That's not stupid or anything.

[Edgy MD]

I'm guessing Flores plays first and Reyes or Evans cracks the lineup also.

If it ain't broke, don't fix it.
Save that stuff for later in the season when guys get tired.
Of course, when Wilmer hits a game winning dinger and Evans gets three hits, I'll say "good move"

I like this, and I have to say our new manager is making opening week 2018 most interesting.
LETS GO METS!

Prediction: Wilmer does something. I'm not gonna say if it's a good or bad thing. Just, some thing.

[Edgy MD]

I wish we went back to Nimmo today.

He's the key! Don't marginalize the Nimm!

[HahnSolo]

Free Nimmo!

[Guest John Cougar Lunchbucket]

Zimmo had flulike symptoms.

Happy Easter from Camden Yards!

Who doesn't, this time of year?

Get in there and earn your spot in a Confortoful world, Wyoming!

[Zvon]

I just saw that X-Files episode half and hour ago so of course I read "flukelike symptoms".

[Lefty Specialist]

Matz is high with everything, which won't end well unless he fixes it.

Nice! a beautiful ballpark for such a joyous day!

Molina acts as if he never hit a HR before. If Jose did that, the Mets would be called "unprofessional". F Molina and F SNY for the continuous BJs of that human sack of shit. #realtalk

[Fman99]

Not so great. Metsies have 2 frames here to chip away. LGM!

[Fman99]

This kid Jordan Hicks is dealing.

[DocTee]

Not an auspicious start for Matz-- 2 walks and 25 pitches in the first, 90 pitches through 4.

I've seen too many starts like this from him to think that this is an aberration.

Blech.

[Fman99]

Well, poop.

[Frayed Knot]

The only thing I'll say in Matz's favor today is that at least he wasn't all over the place. He was missing high but, for the most part, those pitches were justbarely missing and a bunch of calls (for both sides)
could have gone the other way with a different HP ump. The difference between Saturday's BIG strike zone and CB Bucknor's small one today was, pardon the pun, striking.
And of course that led to the longer innings and the high pitch count and the quick hook and blah, blah, blah.
So, no, he wasn't good, but he at least wasn't awful so that's ... I dunno, something.

[ashie62]

Assuming Matz is not overly sore this is okay.

Matt Harvey. on deck!!

[Zvon]

I'm not laying this loss on C.B. Bucknor but please alert me when he's the home plate ump in any of our games. I'd be better off just skipping it.
