    Mets feed on MLBTV carrying the game. Bregman kills a first inning threat.

    I don't get why they don't try Tucker at Lead off. No way he should be hitting 7th wile Siri leads off

    They want to get Siri more ABs since he was late to spring.

    Blanco has impressed me. Had no idea he was this good...too bad there is no room for him.

    It would be nice if he found his command at age 28, but his minor league career he has been a walk machine. Though he was better in 2021...

    His past numbers are not all that impressive. I wonder if stuff has gotten better somehow at this late age? His stuff has looked really good this spring but I’ve honestly never seen him pitch before.

    Blanco signed at 22 (pretty much a senior sign if he was American) and has more or less been a dependable arm at each stop. He's pretty much reached his middle reliever/occasional setup guy ceiling at this point.

    Don't think anyone tabbed him to be this close to the MLB level, especially considering the extra-late start to his career.

    96+ mph fastball and an 88-90 mph cutter look better then that though. His velo/spin are above average for an MLB pitcher.

    Watching Abreu pitch is so frustrating. All world stuff but just can't control it.

    Can anybody tell me what happened to Paredes?

    Is it all control issues?

    Is it mental?

    Did they rush him?

    Can he be counted on to live up to the promise of a couple of years ago?
