Game Preview: Mets @ Phillies -- 4/20

The New York Mets look for their second straight sweep as they take on the Philadelphia Phillies in a 8:10 p.m. game which will air nationally on ESPN.

Lineup:
SS Jose Reyes
2B Luis Castillo
3B David Wright
CF Carlos Beltran
1B Carlos Delgado
RF Ryan Church
C Raul Casanova
LF Endy Chavez
SP Mike Pelfrey

Pelfrey vs. Adam Eaton

From John Delcos:
Notice that Luis Castillo is back hitting second. Willie Randolph said he was never married to Ryan Church hitting second fulltime. He said he had a feel about him hitting second. Now, he has a feel for putting Castillo back.
Why would you pull a guy from the two hole if he is obviously doing very well. This is the thing I hate about Randolph. He'd rather "go with his gut" than step back and look at what has been happening. Leave Church where he is!!! Brian Schneider takes a seat tonight after getting pegged with a foul tip behind the plate in the ninth inning Saturday afternoon. Angel Pagan also takes a seat in favor of Chavez.

  2. you know i dont want church to be good bc then it means im right about milledge, but he should be hitting second. if someone does well filling in you need to stick with them until they prove they dont deserve to be there.

    basically stick with church until he starts going cold, then switch things up.

  3. That mindset is the Anti-Willie, Doug. I wish he thought like the rest of us.
