I wore my Mets hat out the first night I was in Philadelphia, and when I told that to GoFigure, she said, “Mets in Philly, no good. Philly is a total homer town, home teams only. If you aren’t sporting home colors, there’s no good interaction.” Then I tried to talk to a girl at the concert who was sporting a Phillies hat, and she didn’t even know who Maikel Franco was. The hat looked cute though, i will give her that.
Last week Pete Mackanin benched Maikel Franco for two games, but instead of talking to him, he waited for Franco to approach him. Last year he did the same thing to Odubel, who never showed up to talk about it because he thought he was getting rest. WTF kind of communication is this?
Luis Severino was a monster yesterday when he struck out 11, as 70 percent of his pitches were in the strike zone. Severino pitched quickly and showed great mound presence. Come to find out, he worked with the king of mound presence this offseason, Pedro Martinez.
Junior Guerra’s ‘calf strain’ scares me as I know from experience that a ruptured achilles feels a whole lot like a calf strain. Mine felt like I got shot in the calf, I was also running to first base, and I ended up in a hard cast for six months. Own Guerra? Time to Worry.
The Mets are only expecting a 15 game suspension for Jeury’s Familia, but i’m not buying it…Don’t assume Koda Glover is the closer until you either see it or hear it from a manager’s mouth. And for goodness sake, quit drafting him like Dusty loves rookies.
Steve Pearce will play left field tomorrow for the first time this spring, but we still won’t know if he will be fully healthy by opening day. If your league uses a minimum of 20 games played to qualify at a position, Pearce will not make the cut as he only played 19 games in the outfield last season. He underwent surgery in September to repair the flexor mass tendon in his elbow, and if healthy, Pearce could be an affordable option for power and average if you are willing to take the chance that he remains healthy enough to matter. The 33 year-old is the poster boy for what we call a ‘high risk, high reward’ player. Chris Carter struck out 20 times in 37 at-bats heading into yesterday, and then went on ahead and struck out two of the four time he went to the plate. Carter’s strikeout average of .537 (22-for-41) dwarfs a batting average of .122 (5-for-41). Robert Gsellman had only one unearned run over 5 1/3 innings yesterday, and now has a 1.56 ERA over five starts this spring.
