SNY carrying this? We gonna get some Ralph Kiner action?

[Ceetar]

SNY and WFAN today. and mLB Network supposedly.

Kevin and Ron. haven't mentioned Kiner but he usually does pop in in spring right?

[Guest John Cougar Lunchbucket]

On Channel 11 and the radio. And MLB I think

right. 11, that's what I meant. Gil Velazquez pitching.

[Ceetar]

Johan strikes someone out, makes Bonifacio look silly. And all is right with the world.

Tricked me again. the guy listed 9th is supposed to be the pitcher.

It's Buerhle, the guy due to fail into the sunset on his last big contract.

[Edgy MD]

Second and third with no out after a Loewen double.

Adam Loewen folks. Get to know him.

[Ceetar]

Loewen evades the tag on the sac-fly by Satin to get to third. 1-0 good guys.

[Edgy MD]

Josh Satin, who gakked in the big spot yesterday, plates Bay (not Loewen) with a sacrifice fly. Mets up 1-0.

[Edgy MD]

But Thole picks up Loewen with a single.

Sure you want to play with these guys, Jose?

[Met Hunter]

Can't help put feel it looks like Mets/Braves from a distance.

[metirish]

Christ, was that John Thompson pitching for the Mets?, surely not please.

[Edgy MD]

Schwinden.

It'd be curious if he really hurt Stanton.

Maybe it's good that Wright and Davis aren't in the lineup today.

[Ceetar]

no Ralph. Tuesday though.

[Edgy MD]

Error on Loewen last inning.

Adam Loewen, folks. Get to know him.

[Ceetar]

boo, it's raining. who's idea was this?

[MFS62]

Just checked in on the game 4-2 bad guys. Were any of those runs charged to Santana? Did Schwinden inherit the runners or were they his?
And, with Wright out for another week (as per Yahoo sports), why isn't Zach Lutz getting some time at third?

Later

official and over.

1 unearned charged to Santana on a misplay by Loewen. The other's were Rauch. Schwinden let up the unearned, come in with the bases loaded, but got the next guy.

Because I guess Lutz isn't a real option at third as a backup? I imagine he'll get some time here and there though.

[Guest John Cougar Lunchbucket]

Actually, the error leading to Santana's unearned run was on Cedeno who booted a grounder at 3rd.

Nice that Muffy and Loewen got their knocks off a lefty.

oh right, I forgot about that one. he nearly threw it away and Thole made a heads up play backing up first.

[Theoldmole]

I think I'm not going to be able to watch any Mets - Marlins games this year.

[Guest John Cougar Lunchbucket]

One thing we got a taste of today was Buehrle. One inning, I think it was the Mets third, was over in 90 seconds tops. He's great at that, and could imagine him being an especially difficult customer to oppose on those gaydame getaways. Really the Mets will see a sweaty buttload of terrific pitchers this year.

[Edgy MD]

I'm hoping Johnson pitches less than Santana this year. But hoping for injuries to the opposition isn't a way to get ahead.

[Edgy MD]

That pitch hit Stanton so hard it changed his name.

[Guest John Cougar Lunchbucket]

I should punch you in the neck for linking to that SB Nation website. My meager coimputer resources are easily overwhelmed by that mountain of click-thru come-ons.

[Edgy MD]

Get in line.

Anyhow, the bottom line is that Mike Stanton, knowing how poisoned that name is in baseball, is now playing under the name Giancarlo Stanton.

[Frayed Knot]

Between Stanton plus the player once known as Leo Nunez, the Marlins apparently picked up several players to be named later over the winter.

[Guest LeiterWagnerFasterStrongr]

He's Giancarlo Cruz Michael, technically. Mom calls him "Cruz." From a strictly aesthetic view, that seems to me to have been the way to go.
