lol I didn't think it would take two batters before Yo being Yo got old.

Yep, D is going to be a problem for this club.  Amazing how the usual suspects are already showing why.

Agree Has about Cespedes.  I think he'll turn in a very ordinary year, and we'll be hoping he opts out of his contract.  I'm just glad he didn't get signed to the big long-term deal he thought he was going to get.  

Thing is if he's bad he's not opting out.  It'd take a finite set of circumstances for us to start hoping he opts out and him actually doing so.

And Harvey's spring control problems also on display early on.

Thanks a lot Yoenis...worry a little more about catching balls and a little less about your fvcking car stable.

D'Arnaud had one passed ball all of last year, he matched his total in the first inning :lol: Usually his problem's throwing.

I still can't believe Cespedes won a gold glove, shows how worthless that award is.

I'm guessing d'Arnaud probably could've been charged with more than that.  The guy can hit, but he's been very shaky defensively overall.

Duda against a good pitcher...lol

Cespedes is going to kill 2nd tier pitching and that's where we're going to make our money with him. Tda is not good behind the plate. When Mike Piazza says you need work behind the plate you know you're bad. Although, Piazza wasn't a bad receiver he just couldn't throw...

I'm not thinking flat-out bad, just nothing special.  Yeah, if he sucks, Mets are stuck with him.  The risk they felt like they had to take.

Royals just friggin' execute.  So cleanly.

Piazza did just about everything pretty well behind the plate...but yeah, awful thrower.

lol just like last year this frigging Royals defense :P

Mets are going to have to start paying attention to that aspect of the team eventually.  Not that it's super-easy to just build a team like the Royals.

Volquez making life harder on himself with his erratic command of the strike zone...gotta make him pay dammit...

Travis could only dream of making those throws...but things just seem to have a way of going the Royals' way...very frustrating team to play against...

I don't get why Conforto had to try to steal against Sal Perez, he's not the fastest kid in the world and Perez is a gold glove catcher that's actually good at throwing out runners though I know it's hard for the Mets to imagine a catcher being good at throwing out runners...

Game over.  Hope the Mets can take the next one.  Royals play this game incredibly well, in all facets.

Unfortunately the Mets have a lot of hitters who disappear against better pitching.  They will probably get away with that in regular season.  But Wright, Doofus, Cespedes and others will always be a concern.  

Why don't you underhand next time David?  fvcking Wright...

Perfect example as to why DW should be a 1b if on the field at all. Just terrible.

He's going to infuriate us all plenty this season, no doubt.

If I'm the Royals, I take bases against d'Arnaud at every friggin' opportunity.  No friggin' brainer.

Honestly I was surprised he even GOT the throw to first base clean.  He had little chance of throwing out an actual quick runner on a ball that far in the hole.

I was too, but that play was just another reminder of how diminished this version of Wright is.
