Reminds me of those late 70s teams when they would get a bases empty homer and then we could go get a beer because nothing else would happen for the rest of the game.

Alvarez hit two homers in the last game and the manager couldn’t find a spot for him in the lineup?
how are players ever expected to find their groove or stay hot when they get jerked around like that?
I noted he did that several times last year ( especially with the young players) and it hasn’t changed.

Nolan McLeanCarson BengeA.J. EwingJonah TongRyan Clifford Maybe tad too high. I'm not sure if his good power/ low contact will play in the majors.Jacob ReimerMitch VoitJack Wenninger Will make a good 3-4 starter, in the mold of Pat Zachary and Steve Traschel.Jonathan SantucciElian Pena Nice start year. Show us it can play at a higher level.Will WatsonNick MorabitoChris Suero A catcher who hits homers and steals base? You kidding me? The (Bronx) homie should be rated higher than where the mavens have him. Look for a breakout year.Wandy AsigenEli Serrano IIIZach Thornton Santucci Lite.Antonio JimenezRyan LambertDylan RossR.J.

Anybody note that Blade Tidwell, he of the 3 inning save, was once a Mets farmhand?
It looks like nobody here adopted him, despite his kewl name.

I remember rushing home from school in 1958 to listen to their first game in Seals Stadium recreated (reading off the ticker tape with recorded crowd noises in the background) by Les Keiter.
Yes, I feel old.

Brock, btw in case nobody has told you, the tradition at the old site was if you start an in game thread;
if the Mets win you do the next one- to keep the mojo going
if the Mets lose, someone else posts the next one., stopping the bad mojo.
