Interesting. I thought it'd be all hands on deck today but it appears to be no-hands on deck. I guess this is the last 'off day' and they'll play regulars tomorrow, and then go to Tampa and play mostly regulars there and then fly back here.

I guess that makes sense, since it's the Braves and they're going to see them Thursday. Interestingly, the Braves are giving us a decent amount of starters.

[Edgy MD]

Home teams generally do.

[Ceetar]

Wright and Torres both accumulated some PA on the minors side. Torres pronounced himself good to go, and expects to play against the evil empire tomorrow.

Mets up 1-0 through three, on a double by Tovar and a run-scoring GiDP.

Parnell has gone three! Nothing but two hits and two strikeouts on his ledger. That's over 12 innings this spring without getting touched.

[Edgy MD]

Tejada: three-run homer off of Brandon Beachy.

hope he's not using them up!

You're such a pessimist!

I'm not the one suggesting suddenly that Parnell should be the closer or that he could spell Santana for spot starts. If that makes me a pessimist..

the Mets-Internet seems insane today.

[Edgy MD]

Still up 4-1 in the eighth. Ryan Fraser (7-9, 3.58 for Savannah in 2011) has a scoreless inning for the Mets. Danny Muno also in the game.

[Edgy MD]

Welcome to the biggish leagues, Darrell Ceciliani.

St. Lucie Mets all over the place right now: Tovar, Fraser, Muno, Ceceliani, Rafael Fernandez, and Cory Vaughn (the cuter Cory, IMHO). Bases full of kiddies now with Fernandez due up. Let's see who they call on. I'm hoping for Nimmo.

[Edgy MD]

Big rally with small sticks. Even Ramon Ramirez picks up a ribbie. Eight-one, guys-wearing-Met-uniforms lead.

Any power from Ruben this year would be an unexpected bonus.

[Frayed Knot]

Well that's 2 HRs from him this spring which I think makes him tied for 2nd on the club.
