March 31, 200818 yr It seemed like it was a long shot on paper and turned out to be so. Hendrickson went up against a tough offense tonight and had a bad inning and he just couldn't stop the bleeding. Tomorrow's another day :confused
March 31, 200818 yr The only positive thing I saw today was Hammer's homer. Tomorrow is another day - too bad I wont be able to watch the game.
March 31, 200818 yr Is Hendrickson really better than Nolasco? I was surprised he even got the opening day start.
March 31, 200818 yr Is Hendrickson really better than Nolasco? I was surprised he even got the opening day start. I hope that Nolasco is better than Hendrickson, but he pitched well in spring and he is the veteran of the group so he got the nod. He was going along pretty well until the floor dropped out in the fourth. Whoever they threw out there would have been in a tough spot facing Santana, but it's only one game, we'll see what happens....
March 31, 200818 yr Author Is Hendrickson really better than Nolasco? I was surprised he even got the opening day start. Hendrickson had a pretty strong Spring and of course Olsen had a minor injury that set him back, Miller was having control issues, Mitre got hurt early in ST, as for Nolasco, he wasn't overly impressive in ST. What's great about baseball is it's a 162 game season
March 31, 200818 yr Positives are the bullpen, especially Nolasco. And yes, Ricky should've been in the top 4 starters.
March 31, 200818 yr While it's a long season and it was a tall task to complete, the two issues that we needed to fix cost the team runs: pitching and defense. Hopefully, this won't happen tomorrow.
April 1, 200818 yr The offense didn't bow down to santana, we got some hits a homer. Its going to ge a repeat of last year, we will get on the board, but so will the other team.
April 1, 200818 yr Was it just me or was Hendrickson being squeezed by that home plate ump in the 4th? From my seats in centerfield, a good 4 or 5 pitches looked like strikes in that inning alone... 4:10 games suck, by the way... that sun peeking just over the stadium wall from 5:30-6:45 is extremely annoying.

Yea, I was in the fish tank too, and I'm effin roasted.
April 1, 200818 yr I am really proud of mets fans...I was in section 141 and i gotta say mets fans diddn't act up to much. ahaha I dno if anyone heard people screaming out Johannnn Johannn but that was us. I was disappointed in Hanley but he had a nice play at short as well as Ugglas play at second. Overall it wasn't such a great experience.

We had some Mets fans get kicked out... haha they were rowdy where we were. But we shut 'em up pretty good.
April 1, 200818 yr The ump was squeezing both sides, in my opinion. Hendrickson did not get any calls, though. There's 161 games left in the season and I'm looking forward to it despite the poor performance today.
April 1, 200818 yr Allowed 4-runs in two out situation. :awful Also, No.3 spot, It could be most weakest point til Hermida's Back.
April 1, 200818 yr Cantu sucks. The ball hit towards third in the 4th inning was all his, and he watched it go by. The error that Treanor got was a bad throw, but not bad enough for him to let it go by.
April 1, 200818 yr what we need is to get hermida and rabelo back and to let cody play full time I agree. We need to get Hermida back in the lineup. I do not like LuGo as an everyday starter. I don't know if I like Cody starting in center either, though. I was happy with Alfredo's pinch hit today. I wouldn't mind seeing him start every now and then.
April 1, 200818 yr Truthfully, Hendrickson had one bad inning against a very potent offense, I don't like losing but I was more concerned that Lindstrom continues to struggle as he did all spring. Hanley made a couple of good defensive plays as did Uggla and I thought Jacobs looked a lot better at first, especially stretching to get Uggla's throw on a late double play attempt. Dan and hanley both made individual degfensive plays I saw as improvement over last season. I can't remember a play that another third baseman would make that Cantu didn't, Willingham made a great catch on a ball he took off his shoe tops. Treanor threw out two. The Marlins bats were a bigger problem than Hendrickson, they could have, should have scored at least three more runs and didn't not because Santana was so overpowering, he wasn't, but lousy at bats against a very good pitcher usually mean a loss. Hopefully they take something from this game and improve tomorrow.

No, the one that was scorched down the line. I thought the same thing at first (that he should have been able to field it or knock it down) but upon seeing the replay it was out of reach, very close to being foul. You can fault his defensive positioning maybe, but not his range.

I'm having a brain freeze, refresh my memory (you don't mean castillo's bunt I assume). yeah, cantu was fine defensively today...i believe he is referring to pagan's double...which was a shot down the line that stretch armstrong couldnt have gotten to and treanor's throw was in-between hopped to cantu and was a really tough play(not to make excuses for the guy) but he is hardly the reason we lost hendrickson had one bad inning and was squeezed by the ump all game and we had alot of poor AB's against santana who was getting low strike calls left and right tomorrow is a new day with the hurk on the mound against a frail pedro
April 1, 200818 yr If you want some really good news the Miami Herald/McClatchy are almost bankrupt. be still my heart, the idea of Clark Spencer and Mike Phillips unemployed is so delicious I can't be too bummed tonight.
April 1, 200818 yr Yeah, I think he means the ball off of the bat of Pagan in the 4th inning. I don't think he really had a chance. It's a shame, though. If he makes the play it's a completely different ballgame.

If he makes the play it's a completely different ballgame. Eh, I was near the 3rd baseline and and it looked to me like he had a great chance. But then again, angles can be deceiving when you are at the park. I'm waiting for the replay on MLB.tv to come up to see how it looked on TV.
