STIGT 03/26 - NYM at MIA & WAS at NYM

[Guest d'Kong76]

Radio only for the road game, I think...

[Edgy MD]

I typed this one up with full lineups for two teams for both games and stuff, and all the code disappeared when I hit the SUBMIT button. Highly ungratifying. SAD!

Mets, desperately short on system outfielders and now short on centerfielders at the big league level, are starting Granderson in center for one game and Conforto for the other. Tim Tebow will be in left for the home game. Ty Kelly will be at second and T.J. Rivera at third for your Roger Dean Stadium action.

Tebow and Kelly are your only minor league floaters in the starting lineups, but more will assuredly appear. It's Wheeler @ Koehler in Jupiter, and Scherzer @ Lugo in St. Lucie.

Bryce Harper just crushed one off Lugo, 2nd Washington solo HR on the day 2-0 in the 4th.

I hat when you type something and then get a phone call and then
go back to it and lollygag some more and hit 'submit' and you're no
longer signed in and when you hit the back button your shit is gone!!

[Edgy MD]

It's the lollygagging. Lollygaggers get what they deserve.

While the Nats have gotten to Lugo in the third and fourth, Wheeler is, um, pitching his way into the big leagues in Jupiter. One hit through four against a Marlins team mostly comprised of first-stringers.

Mets haven't scored in either city, and in fact have one hit through seven combined in both games.

[Guest John Cougar Lunchbucket]

Trea Turner just smashed his 2nd homer of the day off Lugo, it's 4-0 bad guys in the top of the 5th.

[Edgy MD]

This team needs on-base guys. They need Nimmo.

[Edgy MD]

Mets rallying in Jupiter on behalf of Mars. Two-zip.

Both Céspedeses have batted this inning for the Mets.

[Edgy MD]

Double by @NothingButFlores, and the rally is now up to five runs, with the Mets still batting.

Still no runs in St. Loo.

[Frayed Knot]

It's not like we haven't been 2-hit (or worse) by Scherzer before.
4 runs on 8 hits (incl. 5 for XB) over 4.1 not good for Lugo's chances at displacing someone in the rotation.

[Edgy MD]

Replacing José Reyes as leadoff hitter and shortstop, and making his first appearance with the big league team, 18-year-old Andres Giminez, who didn't play above the DSL last year.

[Edgy MD]

Tomato Juice Rivera 2-3 with a double, a homer, and 3 RBI, pretty much cementing his spot for the opening day roster.

[Edgy MD]

WAS > NYM > MIA, at least today.

Tim Tebow ended up making the last out in St. Loo, going 0-4 with 3 strikeouts.

[G-Fafif]

Lugo admitted he couldn't quite get revved up for a Monday afternoon in PSL after the bright lights of the WBC, a helluva thing for a half-season MLB vet to cop to. How about Opening Night in Vegas?

Just say, "I felt good, I was working on some things out there, I'll be ready to go when the bell rings."

[Guest sharpie]

It feels like the Mets have been shut out vs. Washington every time this spring.

I think you're right. I was about to go with "St. Louis Browns."

You mean the Baltimore Orioles?

[Guest d'Kong76]

I just noticed I used the wrong date yesterday. Looser. Moran.

Yeah, them.
