The Mets played their first Spring Training Game yesterday! It was great to see the boys of Queens go out and play some baseball for the first time since the fall. Anyway, lets look at the stats of the game and over-analyze the game:
The Optimistic Mets Fan Saw:
- Ike Davis smashed a 2 Run Homer.
- Doubles Doubles Doubles! Duda, d’Arnaud, Puello and Lagares all hit doubles. (Twitter peeps said that the Lagares double may have been a home run knocked down by the wind)
- Montero and deGrom! Montero and deGrom looked really good pitching 2 perfect innings each. Montero struck out 2 while deGrom struck out 4. Very nice to see.
The Pessimistic Mets Fan Saw:
- Some poor fundies between Puello and Kolarek that allowed a run to score on a bad throw and a bad covering of the plate.
- Ike Davis Homer. The pessimistic Mets fan will remind you that he got off to a strong start in Spring before tanking at the start of the season. Tell the pessimistic Mets fan to go away.
For the Future Oriented Mets Fan: The Mets take on the Marlins Splits Squad Team at Tradition Field in PSL
For the Past Oriented Mets Fan: The Mets are now 0-1 on the season after splitting an intrasquad game the day before
