DiComo 1st



Clay Holmes huh.

[metirish]

You'd have got good odds on that happening

[Gwreck]

Britton reports that (1) Senga won't be ready for opening day and (2) Mets had previously expressed interest in not putting Peterson up against the Astros.

[Lefty Specialist]

So who pitches games 2 & 3? Megill and TBD?

[Edgy MD]

I would assume Canning and Megill, but I guess that Senga not being ready for Opening Day doesn't necessarily rule him out of the entire series?

[Frayed Knot]

Anyone who had a 32 y/o*, seven year vet with four ML starts** among his 311 appearances as the opening day starter, please come to the window and collect your winnings.











* Turns 32 the day prior to OD

** All as a rookie for PIT back in 2018

He looked like shit last night despite the minimal damage. Half his pitches were out of the zone and when he threw strikes they battered him

I'm guessing that they wait until the second series to use Senga - maybe the final game against the Marlins in that series.

[Frayed Knot]

Bumping this back up to the top before we forget it's there and someone starts a karma-killing new one.

4:10 start tomorrow and, as always, those who are late do not get fruit cup.

[Fman99]

Oh, the waiting is the hardest part

[batmagadanleadoff]

Jeez, if I hadn't finally decided to check into this thread, which I've been ignoring up until just this moment, I wouldn't have even known that today is Opening Day for the Mets. I had no idea. I'm slipping.

[Lefty Specialist]

Happy Opening Day!

Cam Smith, a Cubs 1st round (14th overall) draft pick out of FSU just last June, was the main trade bait going to Houston in exchange for Kyle Tucker over the winter.

And he makes the OD roster and gets the start today in RF despite just 32 games in the minors.

[Benjamin Grimm]

The crowd isn't reacting at all as the Mets players are being introduced.

Baty's been killing the ball I am kind of surprised that Acuna got the nod over him tbh

[ashie62]

Time to win a ballgame

[Johnny Lunchbucket]

Lookit these new unis with the narrow stripes and Ed Kranepool patch

[ashie62]

Soto gets a hit in first at bat

[Channel9]

Anybody trying to stream this?



Fortunately I am watching in my living room via my old fashioned ‘cable provider' on a television and all is well.



Occasionally I do stream though depending on my location and/or situation via the SNY app. MLB now having taken that over from SNY, I thought I'd test it out today.



So far, NO GOOD. Anybody else?

Thought I'd really like them but….not so much.

[Cowtipper]

I hope the Mets win.

[Cowtipper]

I like the continuity on this team. Lot of familiar faces. Twenty of the 25 guys on the 25-man roster played with the club in '24.*



*I included Max Kranick, he got shafted.
