STIGT, STL@NYM @ Jupe

[Edgy MD]

The first exhibition game of the spring to feature pitchers batting. Israeli national Ty Kelly joins native Italian Michael Conforto in the lineup.

Tim Tebow demonstrating persistence, if nothing else.

Cardinals bringing mostly regulars, and open with two base hits.

Cardinals announcers and camera are pretty certain that the Mets leftfielder is the only story out there today.

[Edgy MD]

Tebow singles to left on an 0-2 pitch but the runner doesn't score from second because the leftfielder is playing deep short. And besides, the runner is Wilmer Flroes. Flores then scores on the sac fly by Reynolds.

Thought I'd finally get the honor of watching Robert Gsellman hit, but nope, he tries to bunt his way on. What? With two outs? Is he still impaired?

[Edgy MD]

Laggy just hit one like he meant it, KABOOM!ing the Mets into the lead.

They talk about him like he's a Make-A-Wish kid.

[Edgy MD]

This is a minor disaster. Gsellman up with a runner on third and two outs and goes down attempting to bunt three times. The Cardinal announcers seem oblivious that something is going on.

Yeah, that was supposed to be fixed by now.
During one of the earlier games they were talking about how much he was looking forward to swinging the bat this year.

[Edgy MD]

PlawecKABOOM!

Another solo shot, unfortunately.

[Edgy MD]

Error by minor league stringer Ricardo Céspedes and the Cards pull within 4-2.

[Edgy MD]

Rowen on for the Mets. Cards get two on in the bottom of the eighth.

I don't care what they say. Bradford brought it from even lower.

A ninth-inning RBI by returning catcher Xorge Carillo and the METS WIN!
