    The bunt here is more defensible.

    Hey Valverde, let's NOT let this get to Votto & Bruce, mmkay?

With two outs maybe he is, but if not then the double switch loses its purpose. All it does, in effect, is pre-announces the pinch-hitter. OK so he does stick with Farnsworth (which probably makes sense at this point) so I withdraw my premature rant.

    NYM prospects who rank among the youngest at their level as the full-season leagues begin: - Dominic Smith: 6th youngest in Sally Lg - Dilson Herrera: 4th youngest in Fla St Lg; Gabriel Ynoa = 9th youngest - Noah Syndergaard: 3rd youngest in Pacific Coast Lg And for all those fans who claim to be "tired of waiting for" Wilmer Flores, he's currently the 7th youngest player in the National League Bryce Harper, beginning what will be his third full season, is still the youngest player in MLB (15 days younger than Xander Bogaerts) http://www.baseballamerica.com/majors/whos-the-youngest-in-each-league-opening-day-2014/

    Reds have scored a total of just 7 runs so far this season and allowed only 8 [a 1-0 win, a 1-0 loss, and a 7-6 loss vs the Cards] 7 runs scored -- HA! say Mets batters; "We do that in the 1st inning alone" 8 runs allowed -- HA! says Mets' pen; "We do that in the 7th inning alone"

I feel the same way, but as JCL says, the modern ballplayer doesn't function well that way. And also the manager doesn't want his starter--even if that starter is starter in name only and is hardly etched in stone for the future--to be thinking that he's going to lose his job on account of a bad game or two. Even saying "you're the starter until I say otherwise" sounds a little less dicey to one's ears even if it actually isn't.

    The difference with DeNiro is that he barely seems to be trying. His output these days seems to be either small roles in larger films where he doesn't have to work too hard or carry the load, to just awful 'Meet the Fokkers' kind of stuff that's so far beneath him you wonder why he bothers. For a while I was thinking that he was just going for a handful of big budget nonsense so as to finance that Tribeca project he was fronting, but by now it seems like this "phase" has gone on too long for even that. No matter what one thinks of Woody's output these days, it's not like he's out making teen comedies or some other type of thing that's not in his wheelhouse. He's just (in the opinion of many anyway) putting out pale imitations of what he's always done. Newman too (at least as far as I can remember) wasn't doing schlock toward the end, he just either wasn't getting offered good enough stuff or he wasn't always choosing wisely.

    Six scoreless for Rafael Montero [4 hits, 5 K, 0 BB] in a 9-2 LV win over Fresno Also a scoreless (though 2 walk) 8th inning from Vic Black and a perfect 9th from Eric Goeddel HRs from Nieuwenhuis (4-for-4) and Lutz (2-4, w/a GS 4 RBI) paced a 13-hit attack

    I guess the only good news here is that we got through the game without needing to put anyone on the DL - a first for this season.

No, but neither is his appearance in a movie something you think a movie would want to hide. Nor was this movie something that you think HE would want to hide. And it's not like I'm upset about this or anything, just kind of puzzled as to why his role went uncredited and also why his small though hardly minute contribution (credited or not) to a multi-award nominated movie went virtually unmentioned.

    Reds had a noon start today at home against the Cards ... but were delayed by weather for some four hours and are still in the early innings as I type, so I'm figuring they'll be all tired and cranky by the time they finish up there and get to New York while the Mets will all be snug and warm in their beds (or in a bar if you're Ike Davis).

    What's that now, three bases-laoded walks in three games? If so they're on pace for 162 after "Only" ten all last year.

    Hey Torres, why not think about walking a few guys maybe?
