So the Mets went below the .500 mark today with a 6-3 loss. Here are some of the highlights and lowlights:
One of the biggest highlights of the day in my book was John Maine. He pitched a solid 2 innings of 1-hit ball. This is really great news because as we all know, Maine will be a crucial part in the rotation this year, and many years to come.
On the topic of many years to come, Humber did not have a good day today giving up 5 runs over an inning…everyone has rough starts, this was his first spring start, hes going to be fine and im not worried at all.
Schmoll allowed the other run over two innings, overall though he really didnt have too bad of an outing, but i dont see him fitting in anywhere this year…maybe trade bait?
The other really BIG highlight of the day came from Bugos who threw two innings of one hit ball like Maine. This is great news for the pen and more great news for my fantasy team.
Offense wise, DH Sierra had all the RBI today. Newhand continued getting hits, by having one, Chavez also with a hit.
Offensivlly, people will look at Milledge today who went 2-4 with a triple. Castro also had a hit.
On to Topps. Probably most people have heard now of the prank on the Derek Jeter card. It actually made the FRONT cover of the Daily News on Tuesday. Basically a guy photoshopped Mantle and Bush on to the card, which cause quite a stir.
What i really wanted to talk about is how impressed i am about the other photoshopping. Go on EBAY and look for any cards of players that have new teams this year, like Alou. The photoshop job they did on these cards amazing as they got the jersies on these guys, that are real game jersies and no way could be actual photographs. You have actually look really hard to see the editing on it, it is truly amazing and really changes baseball cads and makes them more up to date than ever before.
