The first box score from an official Spring Training Game is in, and depending what you were looking for, you either found a lot gems, or a lot of apathy. The Mets B-squad, their B-B-squad, faced off against a general A-squad for the Tigers in the first half of the game. Many of their starters actually stayed in until after the 5th inning. The Mets were beating the A-squad 2-0, and eventually lost 4-2 due to one very bad inning.
Mets 2 , Tigers 4
Mets 0-1
Gems in this game go to the pitching staff. With the exception of the blowup from Collazo (IP, 4 ER, 5 H, BB). Pelfry had a strong start with 2 IP, 1 H, 1 K, and Wise and Stokes each had a perfect inning behind him.
Sosa then came in, threw IP, 2 BB, 2 K.Feliciano was 1 BB short of a perfect inning himself.
Overall, the competition for the bullpen is on, Schowenweis better prepare for a battle to keep his spot.
In terms of hitting, Machado had a triple and Gotay had a double. Besides that, no one had more than 1 hit in the game (6 hits total in the game). Fmart was 1-1, so he has 1.000 BA this Spring, and Abreu was 1-4.
When I was writing this, the Phillies were winning 8-1 over the Reds.
