Lineup vs. the Cardinals

The Mets took a drive to Jupiter, Fla. to take on the St. Louis Cardinals at Roger Dean Stadium for a 1:05 p.m. start.

Lineup:

Jose Reyes SS
Endy Chavez LF
David Wright 3B
Carlos Beltran CF
Carlos Delgado 1B
Ryan Church RF
Ramon Castro C
Damian Easley 2B
Mike Pelfrey P

I see they're playing real baseball now, no DH.
Take note: Beltran is out in CF today, patrolling the field for the first time this spring.

  1. Ooooh, the NL is so much better! Yay strategy!!!!!11!!!

    I just LOVE seeing the pitcher strike out in a big spot to kill a rally.

  2. Strategy trumps no strategy, any day.

    You'd rather watch juiced up Giambi try and hit then watch small ball and baseball at its finest?

  3. I enjoy pitcher's duels, but that is different from strategy. If it's a close game, I want the best hitters up to try and score a run.

  4. Ah, but that's the most interesting part!

    Trying to figure out who the best pinch hitter is, trying to work a double switch in, who is going to pitch the next inning...

    All that comes into play, instead of just throwing your biggest bat up there.
