Now THAT looks like Opening Day!

Whoa that probably is the OD nine but I think my lineup might be more like Grandy-Cabrera-Cespsy-Doodoo-Walker-Bruce-Reyes-dArnaud, perhaps switching Grandy and Reyes, or Cabrera and Reyes.

meh Reyes Cabrera Cespedes Duda Granderson Walker d'Arnaud Lagares Thor or, if we're dreaming Reyes - 3B Cabrera - SS Wright - DH Cespedes - LF Duda - 1B Granderson - RF Walker - 2B d'Arnaud - C Lagares - CF Syndergaard - P

If we are dreaming, then Mike Trout is in that lineup someplace. Back closer to reality, I am hoping that Conforto performs so well he forces his way into the middle of the lineup. I know this might be wishful thinking, but I feel like he can do it. Eventually I'd love to see this: 1. Reyes 3B 2. Cabrera SS 3. Conforto CF 4. Cespedes LF 5. Duda 1B 6. Walker 2B 7. Granderson CF 8. d'Arnaud C If Cabrera doesn't hit well enough to stay at #2, you can flip flop him with Walker.

And if Walker has the kind of year I fear you replace him with Cecchini

Centerfield Mar 24 2017 04:43 PM Re: FIDGET 03/24 - HOU @ NYM

Right! Or Floreboom, or Rivera. Some depth here is good. I'm high on Cecchini. Not sure why. Just seems hitter-ish to me.

For a day or two, it seemed that something was imminent. I wonder if these negotiations have been temporarily paused, or if they've abandoned the idea until after the season?

Thor's given up two singles thru 4 ... Yay!! Mets have three singles thru 4 (to go with their only three or four yesterday) ... Boo!!

Ninth inning. Five hits. No runs. Opening Day lineup, you say?

Lefty Specialist Mar 24 2017 08:04 PM Re: FIDGET 03/24 - HOU @ NYM

Syndergaard 6 innings, 4 hits, 1 run, no walks, 5 strikeouts. And the loss.

Edgy MD Mar 24 2017 08:14 PM Re: FIDGET 03/24 - HOU @ NYM

They pretty much went with their #1 bucket brigade out of the pen: Salas and Blevvy for the seventh, Reedy for the eight, and Dangling Familia for the ninth.

5 stolen bases for 'Stros (4 against Syndergaard, 3 of those from Derek Fisher), 1 caught stealing for Mets.

Frayed Knot Mar 24 2017 11:12 PM Re: FIDGET 03/24 - HOU @ NYM

So that's two games in two days with no runs combined on a total of 9 hits, most of them singles, and pretty much with full-strength lineups in (although the starters didn't necessarily go all nine). Among other things they loaded the bases with none out in the 8th today but didn't score. Yup, sounds like mid-season form to me.

d'Kong76 Mar 25 2017 12:35 AM Re: FIDGET 03/24 - HOU @ NYM

I didn't see most of the game; were the stolen bases more off Noah (who I think has been working on some delivery/windup stuff) or off Travis's d'noodle arm? 9-10 days until the games count, would be nice to scoring some runs.
