While the Away squad lost yesterday, the Home Squad led by Bartolo picked up the win against the Tigers, who looked different wearing orange hats. The Tigers rolled out Pelfrey to start the game and the former Met struggled allowing 3 runs, 2 earned over 2.1 innings. For the Mets, the story was power! The Mets finally started hitting bombs in Spring (if you ignore the inside the park homer from Herrera last week) thanks to Walker to Duda.
The Not So Good:
Blevins had a rough inning where he allowed 1 ER over 1.0 innings while allowing two walks. Eric Campbell went 0-2 with 2 K’s. That’s really it.
The Good:
Outside of the homer, Duda added another hit going 2-3 on the day. Cabrera followed up his rough game with a 1-3 with 2 RBIs and Rosario went 1-1 in his debut. Bartolo only allowed 1 ER over 3.0 innings of work. Bastardo, Familia, Smoker and Carlyle all had a scoreless inning. I couldn’t watch the game, but the Mets Twitter Arm was up on Familia’s spring debut.
Changes in the Depth Chart:
No changes but after Bastardo and Familia, the bullpen is more ambiguous and pitchers can squeeze in there. If Smoker keeps this up, it is really difficult to imagine a scenario where he doesn’t get to Queens by the end of April.
