That's one of those things about filling your holes with FA, those people are old. Unfortunately Fred and Jeff left the cupboard bare in the minors too, so it won't get better any time soon.

OTOH, there are plenty of AAAA teams that can't be bothered to keep players in their arb years, so maybe there's enough to be hoovered up annually from Oakland, KC, Cincy, etc. etc.

I'm not thrilled with the rotation either, although at least Jake had the class to pitch badly in Texas to avoid all the sports talk mouths for a day.

They lost "only" 2-1, but I don't think we would have complained about bad luck if the Marlins had punched Peterson in the kisser for four or five runs. He was just not on.

So was the offense. Jorge Soler making the two best plays of his career also didn't exactly help.

Oh well, at least I got to yell PEEEEEEEETE a few times. Once on a homer, and once on that double play.

As a Reds fan I resent this, and am also stealing the term AAAA team. Truth hurts.

I didn't originate it of course!

No offense meant to you all or the guys in uniform, you're all hostage to a cartel owner like the rest of us and deserve better.

McNeil too on that play at the plate, they look sharp already and I enjoy watching them play baseball. But 1 run losses to the Fish never end well!

Brice Turang (who?) hits a slam, 10-0 in the fifth, the crowd goes bananas. The good news is, this one might sting, but will only count for one loss.

At least McNeil didn't break his wrists there tripping over his own bushy tail.

That was a squirrel pun, before people get ideas.

Not scored a run for 20 innings, been whacko'ed for 19 in the meantime.

'tis but a scratch.



After that rough run, I am more looking forward to getting to snatch a Shohei Ohtani start at 10pm my time tonight than the final game in Milwaukee before that.

Pitchers can't toss, batters can't hit, home opener rained out, no Verlander, no Quintana, and now Narvaez to the DL (my sources say "calf", but not whether it's his lower leg or whether he was trampled by one, in which case: get off Cespedes' Ranch of the Damned!), and now the Mets are said to recall Francisco Alvarez to hit .120 for an extended period of time.

What a wonderful time to see Uncle Steve burn $400M

Meanwhile, Wilmer Flores (2), Michael Conforto (3), and J.D. Davis (5) drove in 10 of the Giants' 16 runs over the Black Sox yesterday.

I am starting to miss J.D. ******* Davis.

The heart never wanted the other two to go away anyway.

I liked Conforto but they didn't need to throw money at him, and I'll believe he's good when he can hit them into the water and not just in Chicago.JD didn't fit with the team when they traded him, too many DH types, but... they got an even DH-ier guy that couldn't hit. And Wilmer, well, he's the worst guy in the world except for all the other bums they played around the IF since he left.

In other news, the team chefs got way bigger cheers than any of the assistant coaches when announced on Opening Day, and the trainers didn't get booed. Mets fans are amazin' :P And then they announced Opening Day starter Tylor Megill :? and now your pal Boom Boom!

I see you've met the White Sox rotation:

Cease...and desist.

I'll never desist running my mouth around terrible performances. Not as long as I have a voicebox and/or paws!

Not entirely unrelated - I was one Mark Canha look at a fat pitch away from being able to sing:

Meet the Mets!
Meet the Mets!
Walk, walk, walk,
K, K, K -
To scoring a run,
that's as close as it gets!


But then Edward Cabrera threw a wayward 3-2 after all. Faced 15 batters. Whiffed four. Walked seven.

Gary Cohen: They wonder whether the new centerfield scoreboard will change the wind patterns in the ballpark.

I wonder whether during a night game, Boeings will start to land in the outfield.
