iXgT: Mets-Jays

[Guest John Cougar Lunchbucket]

Darrell Ceciliani, starting in right field, aims to take revenge on his former Las Vegas teammates as the Mets put a bullshit squad on the road:

Lagares CF
Herrera 2B
Conforto LF
Flores SS
Krauss 1B
Plawecki C
Rivera 3B
Taijeron RF
Muno DH

Colon pitches

Scoreless going to bottom 7th. Bartolo pitched the first 6.

Nice to see Bart get right. Particularly against a stacked Dunedin offense.

But come on, you Mets. Hit some baseballs.

Mets take the lead on a ninth inning solo shot by daytripping floater (and floating daytripper) Patrick Biondi. Pat, a centerfielder, most recently went .277 / .333 / .356 // .689 for former Mets South Atlantic affiliate Savannah Sand Gnats.

Everybody's Buddy on for the save.

[Edgy MD]

And Buddy coughs it up by giving up two hits and then a three-run shot to shortstop Ezequiel Carrera. THANKS FOR COMING EVERYBODY!!

Man, if I've got worries, it's about the bullpen. It seems like there have been a lot of blown leads this spring. I know it's not apples-to-apples with regular season situations, but still.

If you'd said "Pat Biondi of the Mets," I would have thought of an early-90s Mets minor league outfielder, and I don't know who I'm conflating him with.

I'm more interested in an offense that gives that boo-pen no margin for error.

True. Reminds me of the pre-deadline 2015 New York Mets.
