Meet the Mets
In a televised game, Jacob deGrom went three strong innings, Francisco Lindor hit a home run from each side of the plate, and Max Scherzer secured a six-inning save in the Mets’ 7-3 victory over the Cardinals.
Yes, three-time Cy Young Max Scherzer came out of the bullpen to relieve two-time Cy Young Jacob deGrom and, yes, it was very fun.
The pairing of Scherzer and deGrom embodies all the hopes, dreams, and fears that come with the 2022 Mets.
For future reference: please help Max Scherzer open all of his water bottles when he is in Game Mode.
In his Grapefruit League debut, Starling Marte had a nice day at the plate and manning right field.
Hopefully, Francisco Lindor’s switch hitting performance is a sign of things to come for the impending season.
Brandon Nimmo celebrated his 29th birthday by sitting on the bench with a thumb injury, but he should be fine.
There hasn’t been a regular season game played yet, but the New York Mets and the players already love Buck Showalter.
According to Showalter, James McCann and his sore back have progressed enough that he should be able to participate in tomorrow’s game.
