Neither the Mets nor the Fish have announced a starter, but my sources have told me that Sean Reid-Foley has been spotted devoting extended time to mustache grooming and shaping. Also, Jim Reid of Jesus and Mary Chain and famed Meat Loaf collaborator/Night Court alum Ellen Foley are both expected to be in attendance.



My sources are, as always, confidential but credible.



Mostly credible. I'm concerned that one has a drug problem and the other is a fantasist. But I can't tell you more without tipping off their identities.

[ashie62]

Jordan Holloway for the fish and Marcus Stroman for the Mets.



Marcus has a drug problem?



Holloway has logged 13 innings and two starts. He has not thrown more than 75 pitches in an outing.

[Marshmallowmilkshake]

I'll be there!

[Edgy MD]

My sources, as always, are reliable.



They reliably suck.

Gary is absent to Wayne switches to TV which means that Sir Sleepy, Ed Coleman, moves to radio.

[Benjamin Grimm]

No news on Alonso yet?

Mets place slugger Pete Alonso on the injured list with sprained hand.

Pete Alonso has been placed on the injured list with a sprained right hand. Tommy Hunter has also been placed on the IL with lower back pain. Mets now have 16 players on the IL. Developing story, check back for details

I swear to god we'd better be laughing about this come September when everyone is healthy and hitting and pitching and the Mets are running away from the division.

This lineup isn't up to the normal level of a spring training game in Jupiter... but LFGM!

[ashie62]

Well, Alonso has done zilch thus far so little production is being lost for the moment.



John Curtiss is the pitching opener for the fish.



Tonight's accidental hero will be Villar, I hope.

[Edgy MD]

He's done more than zilch.

Meanwhile, looking at Freddie Freeman's record, he's missed four games over the last four seasons (the two full seasons of 2018 &'19 plus the partials of '20 &'21)

and just over 100 total in the eleven seasons since he became a starter at the age of 21



His low ever in games played is 117

Brandon "Advise & Consent" Drury hitting .192 / .271 / .327 // .598 at Syracuse this year.



Your firstbaseman this evening.

[Marshmallowmilkshake]

Mets fans far outnumber Marlins fans here. Quite a lineup. I've seen more regulars in early spring training games.



The Marlins city edition uniforms are sweet.

[Frayed Knot]

I think if your name is Jazz you're almost required to be fast ... but not fast enough tonight.

Marlins don't sell programs, scorecards or a yearbook. Freaking Jeter.

[Edgy MD]

Fun Fact: Sandy Leon his celebrating his fourth straight victory in the Luis Guillorme Lookalike Contest.

[Lefty Specialist]

Stroman looks awfully uncomfortable tonight.

[Edgy MD]

I think Stroman wears different color shower caps under his hat — white for home and sort of a silver lightly tinted with purple on the road.

Marlins have used a different pitcher each inning so far.

[Edgy MD]

How in the world is Jazz Chisolm leading off the inning and swinging 3-0?

Why in the world is Brandon Drury holding the pitcher on first with two out?

It's a shower cap? I thought he'd just visited Lindor's hair stylist.

[Frayed Knot]

Zach Pop?!?



Really?

[Chad ochoseis]

Whatever they're feeding Nido, can they share it with the rest of the hitters?
