6 Spring walks vs 17 last year

Maybe theres hope for some discipline yet. Spring stats don’t matter, but processes can

I would hope that something as simple as walks would be a bit more relevant then hits.

I mean, either he walks more or he Ks more, either way it’s better then GIDP.

Navi has also said

That he’s been specifically focusing on walks and views them as one of the most important parts of his game. That’s a big mindset shift.

Gameday is back to normal! Weeeeeee!

I made a joke about a player on the Rays. I must not be a real fan! So hilarious. Don't ban me, bro.

Hahaha.

The Mets line up looks so weak

With Beltran and Reyes out for a while, they have to rely on bench players to play every day. Bay should be fine but who knows if Wright comes fully back to form immediately. Having to depend on Frechy, Matthews, and Tatis/Murphy every day seems hard to stomach. Even their rotation is below average.

The Mets look more like the Royals

That’s how bad it is for them right now

PIZZA?!?

"Even their rotation is below average"

that’s a very mild way of putting it. their rotation, after Johan, is like a fucking train wreck. I think Dave Cameron put it perfectly on Fangraphs earlier today. the Yankees may spent a lot of money, but at least they have some clue how to spend it. the Mets spend a ton of money for the sake of spending a ton of money.

seriously, why the hell were they so concerned about getting Jason Bay when their rotation was in shambles entire the off-season?

Not being able to see the game

The radio announcers’ excitement level indicates that Brignac just made a really nice defensive play to end the inning.

by sstamour on Apr 2, 2010 7:27 PM EDT reply actions  

I can't wait for next sunday.

First game I’ll be going to this year.

Per Topkin: Eckstrom stays, Benoit to Durham

So he has crappy numbers in a pitcher's park

and then has a shitty spring… and gets a roster spot. What?

Wont last for long

Once Benoit gets more arm strength or JP comes back, Ekstrom is gone.

Not so late night for the grounds crew.

Wish ALL of the games could get over at that time. Not much changed & looking forward to Opening day. Come on down and say hi if you’re going Tuesday. I’d like to meet some of you.
