Conley getting lucky so far. He needs to get it together the next inning though.
They are actually leading the AL in hits and batting average right now. Just need to get them going in a row lol.
No HR power it seems.

Can someone fire Jose Reyes into the sun?

Aside from two runs, Alex Wood is doing okay.

I feel like I'm in the movie Groundhog Day with each Mets loss here recently as they can't score without the home run, lose close games late or in extras, the bullpen is worn out on April 22 and blows most of the games, and the team loses multiple players to bumps and bruises per day.

Welp. This isn't going to have a happy ending.

How embarrassing.

David Phelps is just awful this year. Looks like he lost a lot of movement off his fastball.
At least we scored runs of Brad Hand in the 9th, one of the most unreliable pitchers in Marlins history. Hopefully we'll get to see him more this series.

Astros have the most wins in the majors right now. Last season the Astros got off to such a bad start to the season they were never able to recover so I'm glad they aren't doing that this year
It just means they're trading a slow start for a collapse in the last month

You have no idea how embarrassing it is to be a fan of this dumpster fire.
You did it though! But boy that was scary.
EHHH. It was an error that got the Angels on-base. Nothing he can do about that

Red Sox need to pay Ortiz double whatever he wants so he'll come back and revive the offense.

Get rid of Benintendi, Moreland, Sandoval, bring back Manny, Youkilis, and Kevin Millar.
Also get rid of Sale who clearly lacks the clutch gene as evidenced by his lack of wins and bring back the greatest postseason pitcher in the history of baseball.
Profit!
Profit!
That's what the state of Rhode Island hoped for too...
Rhode Island screwed Rhode Island.

Reyes, I imagine he'll bounce around to 2-3 different clubs this year, sign a minor league deal with someone willing to give him an opportunity next season, and ultimately fade into the sunset without many even noticing.
I still believe Familia is more of a setup guy and much more comfortable in that role than a true lockdown closer which leads me to the idea that with the fragility/health issues/pitch counts of the Mets rotation and in combination with a one dimensional offense they, more than any other team, needed to build a "super bullpen" along the lines of Herrera/Davis/Holland, Betances/Miller/Chapman, etc.
It's early and things can turn quickly but this definitely feels like a snowball going down a mountain. I could see this team being in a humongous hole to climb out of in mid-May.
