Mets: Jose Lima

 

Marlins: Paul Craig Molldrem

 

Marlins have Reed in Center, Abercrombie in right and Olivo behind the plate. Other than that, it's business as usual.

 

Mets are playing their opening day lineup with Beltran in the 2-hole and Delgado batting third.

 

Moldrem's walked the bases loaded in the top of the first, Floyd now batting.

 

Floyd flies out to Abercrombie in right. Almost nabs Reyes at the plate. 1-0 Mets

our pitcher is clearly not ready for this. poor guy.

Of all the teams I want(ed) to see the Marlins beat as the Grapefruit League comes to a close it's the Mets.

I feel bad for this guy

I feel bad for this guy

 

Can you say Logan Kensing?

Who on our team can do long relief? :shifty

Rupe's up in the pen already.

 

Another walk with the bases loaded, 2-0 Mets.

 

Double Play!!!

 

5-4-3. Inning over.

Now that is the Castro we know. Double Play

That could have been alot worse. Phew.

Isn't it Craig Molldrem? I think you might have mixed him up with my Baby Marlin from last season, Paul Mildren.

thank you very much!!!

Man the Marlins this spring are just RUN machines. I am loving it. I hope they can do this in the regular season

Can't wait for 2008 when Delgado's contract is absolutely killing them, they have no world series to show for all of this, and Kazmir, Petit, and Gaby would be three of their best 5 pitchers.

This is great. Aguila, Abercrombie, and Reed are all fighting for OF spots and they are all off to a great start today.

Each has had a run-scoring hit in the first inning.

Not to get excited, and I think I've mentioned this before.. But TSwift mentioned this a couple of days ago too... Yes, Spring Training games are just that.. Spring Training.. But you can only ignore it for so long. These guys can hit. I'm looking forward to see what they can do against MLB pitching every day...

history has a little something to say about what a team's performance during spring training means for the regular season. basically, this:

 

1) teams that play like sh*t don't make the playoffs, regardless of talent level. basically, if the team goes 9-23 or 8-25 they're probably not going to make the playoffs. best example: your 2005 florida marlins.

 

2) if you have an outstanding record (20-10, 19-11, etc.) you're team won't be horrible. doesn't mean you'll make the playoffs, but you won't lose 100 games.

 

3) playoff teams tend to have anywhere from losing records (say, 12-16 or something) to outstanding records (marlins of 1997 tore up spring training).

 

3) terrible teams can play anywhere from terrible to pretty good (above .500, but not 17-6 or 20-9, etc.), but not outstanding.

Yea I wonder what history says about the teams that finish spring training witht he BEST record. That is where the Marlins currently stand.

With Jorg gone, and Olivo playing the way he is, maybe Olivo starts in ABQ. two benefits, work with the 'young' pitching staff and (more importantly) learn to do something productive at the plate.
