So far things are going well for the Mets in the 2012 season. Johan Santana looked great in his first outing, the bullpen hasn’t allowed a run yet, David Wright looks like his old self, and they are actually hitting balls out of the ballpark. On top of their undefeated record (yeah I said it) [...]
Well the first game of the season is tomorrow and the Mets have their Opening Day roster set. Mike Baxter and Miguel Batista have made the team and Andres Torres, Tim Byrdak, and Frank Francisco will be ready to go as well. All-in-all you look at this Spring as a Mets fan and things went [...]
There hasn’t been much for Mets fans to get excited about this Spring. Even the highest profile player on the team, David Wright, has missed a major amount of action with an abdominal tear. He’s back now… or rather he’s returned now, and will be ready for Opening Day. Joining him is Johan Santana, who [...]
Adam Rubin reported yesterday that Daniel Herrera is most likely going to be given a spot in the bullpen for Opening Day. Tim Byrdak is recovering from knee surgery, but he’s expected only to miss a couple games. To this point in Spring Training, Herrera has thrown 6.1 innings, posting a 1.42 ERA with two [...]
As the Mets get closer to Opening Day they are going to have to make tough decisions for their roster. The biggest questions for the team are with the bullpen. Right there are five pitchers who look to be locks for Opening Day barring injuries: Frank Francisco Ramon Ramirez Jon Rauch Bobby Parnell Manny Acosta [...]
Well I've been in Port St. Lucie for a week now, and I think it's safe to say I've explored the city enough. We're going to be here for one more day, but tomorrow there are no games. So the plan is to chill out by the pool, play a little golf, and go down [...]
Today's game was painful for a few reasons: one, I had to sit through nine innings of major league players trying to play baseball, and two, I was sitting out in The Berm, which is the seating area on the ground in right field. I wouldn't recommend these "seats" for anyone if they go. While [...]
Well there weren't many positives to take away from Tuesday's game. It was nice to see strong>Matt Den Dekker and Cesar Puello play next to each other in the outfield and Daniel Murphy keeps proving he's going to be one of the best hitters in the league this year. The pitchers struggled as much as [...]
Johan Santana looked really good today. His fastball was coming in around 88 mph for most of the day and he touched 90 mph a couple of times. At one point he went from a 90 mph fastball to a 77 mph change-up, which was very encouraging. The main thing I saw from Johan was [...]
Tuesday Johan Santana threw in his first game with the Mets since September 2nd of 2010. The result: two innings, one hit, one walk, no runs, and 17 of his 29 pitches were strikes. He was able the throw all of his pitches and even got his fastball up to 91 MPH with his change-up [...]
The Mets have a lot of questions marks coming into the 2012 season. If you look at their starting line-up, every player either had an injury riddled year and is a young talent trying to live up to what they did in 2011. There are some guys on the team who need to be their [...]
When Mets fans hear the name “Scott Kazmir” a lot of emotions are felt. Some get depressed, some get confused, some get carpal tunnel, I for one get that feeling that comes right after I’m done throwing up everything I’ve put into your body for the past two weeks. Even now looking at where Kazmir [...]
