Mets Win Opener
Opening day was a success for the Mets. The story people are making the biggest deal about is the bullpen. Sean Green, J.J. Putz and Francisco Rodriguez did a great job after starter Johan Santana left the game with 2 outs in the 6th inning. The thing to remember is that this is one game out of 162. Putz and Rodriguez will not appear in each of the remaining 161 games so positive reviews of the performance of the bullpen are premature. Let’s see how the rest of the group pitches before we comment.
In other news, both Mets runs were driven in by Daniel Murphy. Murphy hit a homer in the 5th and drove in the second run when grounding out in the 6th. Murphy appeared to pick up this season where he left off last season. It’s only 1 game but it’s encouraging to see some production from Murphy out of the second slot in the batting order.
