Today’s Lineup 4/29/2009 & Notes
The Mets are having Oliver Perez pitch batting practice today. It’s not usual for pitchers to throw live batting practice between starts. I guess pitching coach Dan Warthen is thinking that if other teams take batting practice against Perez then why not the Mets? John Maine will also throw BP today. Here’s today’s lineup: # […]
Corrected Lineup From Last Night’s Game and Other Notes
Those of you who saw last night’s game or have seen the box score know that the lineup I posted yesterday afternoon turned out to be incorrect. Carlos Delgado was taken out of the lineup due to a hip problem and this caused some reshuffling. Most notable was that Fernando Tatis was moved from second […]
Tonight’s Lineup
Another odd choice by Jerry Manuel in tonight’s lineup. Fernando Tatis will be batting second and playing second base. With Luis Castillo still batting well I have to wonder why he’s not in that slot of the lineup. # Name Position 7 Jose Reyes SS 17 Fernando Tatis 2B 15 Carlos Beltran CF 21 Carlos […]

Starting Rotation Set
I haven’t blogged too much this spring because there hasn’t been very much to write about. It’s been a relatively quiet spring. But now that we’re a week away from the regular season it’s time to start writing. The big news yesterday was the official coronation of Livan Hernandez as the fifth starter. This move […]
