Opening day IGT. RIP Rusty Staub

[Green Must Go]

Dont worry injuries will take care of this "problem", it always does.

With our luck 2 of the 3 will get injured.

Gsellman looked pumped out of the 'pen.

Rosario with a clutch hit.

Cespedes with a clutch hit on 1 foot.

Nimmo on base 4 times.

A-Gone turning it on after a putrid spring.

Lots went right yesterday, let's keep it up.

[Sell the team NOW!!!!!!]

With the new regime talking about taking the best i don't know how they take Nimmo out when Conforto gets back. 1st off he's a real CF'er. 2nd off it pretty obvious this guy is starting to break out. Either Conforto or Bruce have to go to 1st. No other way around it. Nimmo needs to be the primary CF'er/leadoff guy.

Nimmo=Young Lenny Dykstra.

[METSSC]

Id like to see him turn into the Phillie Lenny Dykstra who lead the league in both hits and walks.


Juan Samuel.

[MrHat]

Well he gets to sit today for Juan...sigh. Cabrera meanwhile gets to hit leadoff.

If this was just a gotta get guys in early thing, then I'd expect Reyes to replace Cabrera...instead this seems like a "platoon" which just seems like a waste. Nimmo earned the right to play everyday this spring and his performance opening day backed it up

Platoon with a righty on the mound? Terry Collins Callaway!

The more things change....

And what makes it worse is that Conforto doesn't seem that far away, so Nimmo's playing time to show what he can do is even more limited. If they don't know what Lagares can do (or, rather not do) after all this time especially along with his putrid ST where his "new" swing seemed to make it worse, taking away Nimmo's playing time isn't going to change that.

On the broadcast today they seemed to be implying that the lineups have already been made for the first month of the season by the front office and Callaway. Becoming more and more common. Front office and analytic guys basically manage the team now. I'm sure that was a big problem for Terry.

[smitteyb11]

A solid solid outing by Swarzak - 2nd and 3rd with one out and gets a K and a fly ball.

[smitteyb11]

Spoke to soon. Looks like he is leaving the game with a strained or pull oblique.

[strummer]

Oblique injury for Swarzak as expected

[strummer]

Nimmo was ill so that answers why he didn't play the last 2 days
