Time to get real indeed.

Gonna have to do it against Iglesias.

Tying run up.

Alonso seems to have been a pretty inspired choice for a cleanup hitter.

Found two there.

Houser needs to find some outs.

Al Leiter is one of the Numbers Two.

At the start of the season, a little more than a week ago, MRC would have ranked at least a dozen relievers we haven't yet seen ahead of Dedniel Nuñez, including several currently on the 40-Player Roster. We sadly worry that what makes him the choice her is his disposability.

Call me terrible things, but I'm good with Alonso back in the cleanup spot. Alonso-Baty-Álvarez going 4-5-6 has the potential to terrorize.

I'm into guys who get Rule V'd away, but the team keeps track of with an eye toward acquisition further down the line.

I suspect that the Mets plan on using 25 relievers this season. I realize that isn't much of a memory.

Nope. Number four is Duaner Sanchez.

That would be the case if he gets released, and the Mets haven't done that — at least not yet.

Zach Duke, I believe, is the Pirate who is wearing too much lipstick.

Number four is Terry "Things Happen for a Reason" Leach.

Man, that's burying the lede.

They had just traded a lot of guys and needed to fill out the roster with affordable, modestly useful major leaguers, who might have something, probably won't, but beat throwing minor leaguers into the heat of battle before they're ready. All it cost was a little cash and a roster spot. If the only indicator of what's going to happen is what has most recently happened, the game would be easy, but it's not, and 29 teams are out there trying to stomp on your best efforts. Sometimes you find a reason to give R.A. Dickey a chance before forcing up a 21-year-old. In baseball, and in life, you have to be willing to allow yourself to be dazzled.

Currently hanging on to the back end of the Mets roster, I'm the infield reserve that might provide some offensive utility, if I get the right matchups, while Joey Wendle is the infield reserve that should be at least be reliable for defensive lift. Also, I sometimes wear my position on my back. Mights and shoulds are what you get when you assemble your benchies, but while Wendle's glove hasn't come out to play yet — hey! — at least I'm one-for-three in my first handful of action in the team's first nine games. Extrapolating that over a season can be fun, but extrapolations of small data sets can be WILDLY inaccurate. (Most fans haven't yet figured out if I'm a Zack or a Zach.) Your job is to sort through the nuances and contingencies and come up with a real-life scenario of how my season is going to play out. I know you can do it. [FIMG=320]https://pbs.twimg.com/media/GJcPsi4WwAI-FmQ?format=jpg&name=4096x4096[/FIMG] [FIMG=380]https://img.mlbstatic.com/mlb-images/image/upload/t_16x9/t_w1024/mlb/qlieqynpbji2ej6xubj2[/FIMG] [FIMG=371]https://nypost.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2024/03/zack-short-main-1-usa-today.jpg?w=1024[/FIMG] [FIMG=329]https://encrypted-tbn0.gstatic.com/images?q=tbn:ANd9GcT-dscan_7JoUEzIgXQHb_Ndv4DwheV1FMcnjYSLQZmcA&s[/FIMG]

Well, I'm giving him credit on that, certainly. I don't approve of the ever-shorter workdays for starting pitchers that leaves his 11th best pitcher on the hill with the game on the line time and time again, while his seventh or eighth best pitchers are put through waivers. I realize everybody is doing it, but somebody has got to stop, and I want it to be my team and my manager. It's a race to the bottom.

It totally undermines the careers and lives and livelihoods of perfectly good players. Qualified guys are losing MLB jobs on Thursday because the manager pulled the starter after 68 pitches on Tuesday. They have to pass through waivers, and they either end up back on the coal pile in Syracuse, or somebody grabs them and they have to break the news to their families and then report to Seattle in a day or two. And it is almost entirely independent from whether or not they are doing their jobs.

Big move was leading off the top of the seventh with the score tied 5–5. With lefty AJ Minter coming on, Carlos Mendoza pinch-hit Tyrone Taylor for the lefthanded Joey Wendle. The more obvious switch would have been Zack Short, but Mendoza wasn't just thinking about the immediate matchup. With the team having come back twice to tie against a division leader and now entering the bottom third of the game, he was muscling up to steal a game that was looking like a mismatch six innings earlier. In the short term, the free-swinging Taylor struck out swinging, as he is wont to do. But the offense and the defense were a little beefier the rest of the way, with Taylor taking over in left and McNeil moved in to play second. Taylor would later single in the eighth to extend the rally that allowed the ultimately decisive eighth run to score, and then make a completely stunningly unlikely game-saving catch in the ninth.

Yankees two-hit the Marlins, winning 7–0, and dropping the Fish to 1–10. Skip Schumaker is the defending manager of the year, and he looks like he may not survive April.

I'm not sure easy wins over the Braves are going to be in stock in the near future. I'll take a stressful win. With a fill-in starter signed out of limbo and the back half of the bullpen, coming from behind twice against the class of the division, it really feels like a steal. Maybe this year the bullpen won't last for the Braves.

Mets in 1974 "Who pitches tomorrow?" "Koosman." Mets in 2024 "Who pitches tomorrow?" "Everybody."

That's just outlasting the other team.
