A 7:10 first pitch and a DH in the lineup. GKR theorizing that we'd see Dom Smith at 1B at least once and perhaps twice in this series, with the Piss Missile as the DH.

[Ceetar]

Luis Rojas is going to cite something about Alonso's improved defense, and repetitions or something, and mostly play Alonso at first, I'd wager on this.

[Edgy MD]

Somebody wager him!



I would, but I'm low on funds and have learned the hard way about wagering my body.

[kcmets]

I'm sure they'll analyze (really, advertise) the odds on the coming SNY coverage.

[Edgy MD]

Psst. Mayo es el quinto mes.

Dom worked out at 1B on Tuesday. I think that Pete will get at least one game as the DH. If Nimmo comes back he can play LF with Pillar in CF and Dom at 1B.



The Mets flew to TB today, 2 days early. Meanwhile, the Rays have another game tomorrow night against the MFYs. I hope that it goes well past 10 innings and the Rays' 'pen is used even more than usual.

[ashie62]

Two days off. Really?

[Ceetar]

no, it's just one.

[Fman99]

Seems like two. From last pitch Wednesday afternoon to first pitch tonight is like 52 hours. Too damn many!

[Edgy MD]

Just remember how long those hours go following a loss, or in the midst of a losing streak.

[Willets Point]

I think ashie meant two days off in the same week. Either way, this team should be well-rested.

[Lefty Specialist]

They take two out of three this weekend I'd be very happy. Rays are no pushovers.

[Gwreck]

McNeil DH

Lindor SS

Conforto RF

Alonso 1B

Smith LF

Pillar CF

Villar 3B

McCann C

Peraza 2B



Odd lineup in that we have a DH but Smith is still playing left field.

[Lefty Specialist]

Is Nimmo back this weekend? Right now they have no real OF backups except Khalil Lee. So that explains Dom in left.

[Edgy MD]

Well, McNoodle has played more left, and more outfield overall, than Smitty — and he's played better outfield than Smith — but I imagine they want to avoid deploying him in high gear if they can help it.

[Fman99]

Glasnow has some nasty stuff.

Glasnow has some nasty stuff.

[ashie62]

Peterson is doing a rinse and repeat of his last start.

[Edgy MD]

Nice to get three quick outs on five pitches when all three batters ripped the ball.

[Edgy MD]

Nobody should be getting away with the shift, but less than nobody should be able to get away with it against Lindor. He's got the wheels to lay down a bunt and run to first backwards.

[kcmets]

Right, not anti-shift like some just befuddled why after all these years they don't hit it where they ain't.



Mets un-perfecto through four innings.

[Frayed Knot]

4 full innings in just a shade over one hour ... is that even allowed these days?

[Johnny Lunchbucket]

Yeah, suck it, Glasgow!!

[Johnny Lunchbucket]

ViLLaR!!!

[LWFS]

Oh, that Bench Mob

[Edgy MD]

Villar is making a run for May PotM.

[Frayed Knot]

That was a heckuva stretch over at 1B.

Makes me realize that TB doesn't have that big Korean out there who was so entertaining to watch last October.

[Johnny Lunchbucket]

Even McCann is hitting this palooka now
