D-U-M dumb as the DH may be, it's nice to see Smitty at 1B, where he belongs. Without looking too closely at the MFY lineup because it hurts my eyes, I suspect that playing with a DH helps us more than them.
I'm not saying he's good and I'm not saying he's bad. But 4 and 5 out saves still aren't the norm. I don't think Dusty or Girardi or Showalter would be thinking too far out of the box either.
=G-Fafif post_id=10897 time=1558622151 user_id=55] First time Davis has started in left field for the Mets since September 30, 1967, though I imagine Tommy didn't have any Uber tales to tell at the time.
Matz is back! Maybe that's good news!!! Maybe the Marlins got their win against the Mets for the season out of the way yesterday!!! Maybe, just maybe, we'll find better things. [YOUTUBE]nhzY86sC7Q0[/YOUTUBE]

Sure is an interesting start. Alonso doesn't ordinarily make that play. And it's nice to see Noah not give back those runs. Nothing else going on that I can think of.
Were we clamoring for Castro to get more starts? It's frustrating that we fell a game short that year and gave three times as many PA to a guy with an OPS 200 points lower. I think the rap on Castro was that he didn't have the "motivation" to be a starter, and he seemed to suck the few times he was pressed into action on an everyday basis. I have no idea where that came from, but it's somewhere in my memory bank. May have been a WWSB comment.
