Kissimmee at St Lucie - 3/4/14

[Frayed Knot]

Wheeler vs some guy who NYM bats knocked out in the 1st inning.

Wheeler goes 1-2-3 in top 1
Mets respond with a 3-spot in the bottom half: walk, 2B, Granderson HR ... then some more walks and singles and a pitching change and stuff before leaving the sacks loaded

Mets bucking recent trends by starting four American-born blacks at the top of the line-up: Young, Young, Granderson & 1B-du jour Brandon Allen

Curious to know if he threw a lot of pitches. That's a part of the game he needs to work on.

6-2 final. 2 HRs from the Grandy man; good innings from Wheeler.

[Zvon]

Two kaBOOMs from Curtis? Ill have to check out the replay.

Wheeler's dealin' in the first.

[Guest LeiterWagnerFasterStrongr]

Blowing through game on DVR. Wheeler fastball was nice; the change-- when it showed-- was, surprisingly, even nicer. And in-game Recker appearance-- insouciant, pouty, slouching up against the corner of the dugout like, "What am I leaning against? Whaddaya you got?"-- to boot!


BetterHalfer on Recker: "Hmm. Hmm. Nice. How old is he? He's going to age very nicely."

Sterling's going to miss him. No A-bombs this year, either.

And no "Cano, don't you know" either.
In fact, with the loss of power hitters in the MFY lineup, Sterling may have to make something up to say when they hit doubles.
