The Mets played Game 3 of the Spring today in Jupiter, Florida as they dropped the game to the Cardinals by the score of 7-1. While the game was a little slow, since it was a Spring Training game, there are always a few things we can look at.
The Optimistic Mets Fan Saw:
- Dice-K rebound nicely from his first inning where he threw a lot of pitches and allowed a run with a clean second inning. With the success of John Lannan in his last start and Mejia yet to pitch, Dice-K needs more innings like that second one to make the team.
- Even though Lagares was hitless, he did walk. OBP!
- Curtis Granderson 1-2, 2B, BB. Nice.
The Pessimistic Mets Fan Saw:
- Leathersich had a sloppy inning. His stuff was there but he couldn’t locate, tried to throw instead of pitch, messed around and allowed 4 runs in 2/3rds of an inning.
- Davis struggled at the plate today going 0-3 with 2 strikeouts. He now has three strikeouts in 6 AB, he also has a homer so there’s that.
The Future Oriented Mets Fan is looking forward to tomorrow’s trip to Disney where Noah “Thor” Syndergaard will get the start.
