metirish Mar 05 2006 01:29 PM

Where - today at 2PM on ESPN. Pelfry will debut for the Mets. That's all I know for now, no idea what team the Mets will field as they are playing the Dodgers aswell.

Yesterdays News said that in addition to Pelfrey, the 17 year old million $ man Fernando Martinez will be there, along with Milledge and Hector Pellot.

We might see the ball-boys before it's all over since it's like a "triple-split" squad. Between the actual split squad who are playing the Dodgers somewhere and the fact that half the team is over in the PR dugout, we've got about 1/3 the team available. Pretty decent starting lineup though so it must be the LA game that's getting all the scrubs.

Some good pitching form the Gonzalaz boys, Dicky looks bigger than when he was a Met, nice hand and making lots of noise, Steve Phillips is doing the TV color, Millidge playing CF, Nady RF, Floyd LF, Matsui 2b,Castro C, Wright 3b and Harper playing first, Franco is the DH, Puerto Rico scores the first run.

Pedro giving a long interview during the game, when asked about his opening day start he said he hopes to make itis toe is still hurting, hasn't thrown live BP yet, hasn't thrown a breaking ball.....he's a great interview.

Thanks for the heads up - I'm happy to see the Mets on tv for the first time of the year :)

OlerudOwned Mar 05 2006 02:46 PM

Pelfrey gives up a hit and a 4 pitch walk during the inning, but also blew a couple of pitches right past Pudge for a K. No runs, one hit

metirish Mar 05 2006 03:14 PM

Beltran gets a big 2 run double off Wagner, 17 year old Fernando Martinez playing center for the Mets.

ScarletKnight41 Mar 05 2006 03:41 PM

Schmoll didn't impress. And what's with his cap covering his eyes? Perhaps he'd do better if he could see his target?

seawolf17 Mar 05 2006 03:42 PM

Steve Phillips interviewing Omar Minaya. Yikes. Great backhanded stop and throw from the shortstop hole by #87.

ABG Mar 05 2006 03:43 PM

Milledge has impressed. Decently hit grounder up the middle that got knocked down, ripped double down the line, robbed up against the fence.

ScarletKnight41 Mar 05 2006 03:48 PM

Tomorrow's game against Mexico is on ESPN at 4:00.

KC Mar 05 2006 03:51 PM

They're playing Cleveland on ESPN at one also.

All Mets, all day. A little practice for SNY.

cooby Mar 05 2006 04:07 PM

Thanks, metirish, I wouldn't have known this was on if you hadn't have mentioned it here

ScarletKnight41 Mar 05 2006 04:11 PM

Excellent - I have an afternoon of tv watching in store for tomorrow :)

TheOldMole Mar 05 2006 04:14 PM

Nice running-diving catch by Lastings in left.

ScarletKnight41 Mar 05 2006 04:14 PM

Milledge just covered a lot of ground and made a nice, diving catch in left field.

metirish Mar 05 2006 04:15 PM

6 to 1 PR, Milledge flashing his glove on a nice catch in LF.

seawolf17 Mar 05 2006 04:20 PM

And Lastings Milledge also made a nice catch in left field. (Sorry. Didn't want to feel left out.)

KC Mar 05 2006 04:27 PM

Mets lose, season's over before it starts. Freakin' Willie.

metirish Mar 05 2006 04:27 PM

Put it in the books, Puerto Rico win 6 to 1, seemd to be a pretty good crowd, was soupcan going to that game?,just great to see Mets baseball again.

metirish Mar 05 2006 04:32 PM

Cool, 'Baseball Tonight' for 90 minutes after the Met game.

While we were watching this one, the rest of the Mets split squad lost 16-2 to LA. Soler (4 runs allowed) and Jason Scobie (8) got pureed. The two Met runs were driven in by Chase Lambin. Edit: Anderson Hernandez had an o-fer. The only Met error was by Corey Ragsdale. He's in mid-season form already. Later

Zvon Mar 05 2006 04:40 PM

I dont think he HAD to dive for that one. I thought Kepp was hurt........ He looks fine.

Not happy to hear about Delgado's elbow trouble. On the broadcast they quoted him as saying he might have to miss the whole Classic.

TheOldMole Mar 05 2006 09:20 PM

Hey, how about Milledge's catch in left field?

cooby Mar 05 2006 09:30 PM

I saw that! Did any of you guys see that?

metirish Mar 05 2006 09:37 PM

Yeah, he's got mad skills, although one poster here thought there was no need to dive for it.....

Nymr83 Mar 05 2006 10:39 PM

i cringe when i see a Met dive in an exhibition game...i know its a fine balance between maintaining your aggressiveness and playing not to get hurt.

didn't see the game but listened to a couple of innings on the FAN. I specifically tuned in to hear Tom McCarthy's Met debut, but it took a few minutes to convince myself that it was not Cohen - they sound that much alike. He has big shoes to fill, but it was a solid first impression. He was paired with Coleman, and it made me very thankful that the powers at be were smart enough not to promote Eddie.

metirish Mar 06 2006 10:36 AM

Yeah Coleman is a terrible at pbp, I remember last season when he was doing it when Gary went on vacation, useless would be a compliment to him.

Centerfield Mar 06 2006 12:08 PM

Couple of things... I am really really concerned about Pedro's toe. When they were showing those slo-mo's of his feet, you can really see how violent that action is. I don't know that any shoe can counter that. Did anyone else cringe when Phillips compared Pedro's toe to Barry's knee? Mike Pelfrey can bring it and he has perfect form. His delivery is free and easy and it looks like he could throw all day. I'm guessing Tommy John by mid-June or so. I thought Milledge's swing looked too long to hit for an effective average in the bigs. The metallic looking batting helmets freakin' rock. What is this about Delgado's elbow? Why did we not hear about it before? If it's that serious, why is he going to Puerto Rico instead of the Mets trainer's examing table? Beltran looks good. I think he's going to have a bounce-back year.

It might have just come up in the last day or so. They way they told it, he should be ready to go. I suppose we'll see.

Johnny Dickshot Mar 06 2006 01:26 PM

I've been having elbow pain for 2 weeks I'm almost certain is tennis elbow (tendonitis), which I got not from tennis but from carrying some heavy stuff awkwardly. My understanding is nothing will cure it but rest.

TheOldMole Mar 06 2006 01:38 PM

So much cringing in one thread.
