I like Ruben in the leadoff spot. I don’t care if he’s not a big base stealer threat.

He didn’t get on base but nothing wrong with an 11-pitch AB from your leadoff man.

Speaking of catchers, would you rather have nickeas or johnson backing up? I really think the Mets need more RH offense. (Their As-many-righties-as-we-can-stack is rather pathetic)

Glad that inning ended because Gary was digging himself a hole with the run differential thing. Because he can point to the one team to succeed with a -20 run differential in the last 20 years doesn’t mean we should think anyone else could or should do it.

Thanks for chatting with me tonight. We’re going to have one for every game from now on. I won’t be able to make all of them but I’ll post a note when I will be able to be around.
