That was a rough series, some heartbreaking losses.

Silver lining is the starters continued to perform, just need the supporting cast to show up.

Familia pitches in minors with ban almost over

BINGHAMTON, N.Y. -- Mets closer Jeurys Familia pitched an inning for Double-A Binghamton on Monday as he prepares to return from a 15-game suspension under Major League Baseball's domestic violence policy.

Familia worked a 1-2-3 sixth inning against Portland in his second appearance this season, throwing six of his nine pitches for strikes. He is eligible to return to New York's roster Thursday, when the team wraps up a three-game home series against Philadelphia.

Familia's suspension stems from an altercation with his wife last fall. He was arrested Oct. 31 on a simple assault charge, but prosecutors later dropped the case. Under the domestic violence policy, a player can be disciplined absent a criminal conviction

Familia can participate in up to six minor league games while serving the penalty.

I guess the Marlins are "that team" for us again. All these division games to start the season, might give us a good idea of how we should finish this year.

Let's go embarrass them Phils again

Cespedes ran through a stop sign at 3rd and tried to score from 1st on a 2 out double by Bruce...but got thrown out at home..on a bang bang play.
I like the aggressiveness and trying to make things happen....and he did slide this time...

No score after 1.

G-man sets them down 1-2-3 in the 7th.

 

[Tai Chi≈Surfing]

Duda (hyperextended elbow)...and d'Arnaud (wrist contusion) are out of the game...
1 or both could be headed to the DL....


Flores & Rene Rivera are now in the game.



And TC decides to let Gsellman start the 8th....but of course he gives up a leadoff GR double.

Blevins is now pitching.

 

[Tai Chi≈Surfing]

Game tied 3-3 ....Blevins gives up a 2 out single to a LH hitter..so he's now done.

Home 8th...Cespedes, Bruce & Walker due up.
