I would've given McCann another day off.  Thank being said, go ahead and get a couple xtra base hits, James!!  Prove me wrong....I don't need no stinkin' rest!!!

Wow a lineup with 3 people that matter long term. Amazing how much progress they made since last week.

Excited to see what Lopez can do tonight. Based on the numbers in this article, it looks like his success isn't a fluke

Only 2 AAA players in the lineup! The construction isn't great but whatever, it's good to see Tim and Eloy back

His spin rates have been way up too. Velocity as well. Which is probably the real cause for what the article listed. He needed to make a change and actually appears to have over the break. Hope it continues.

Jay is the only buy below replacement level. Good lord he's bad on D.

I was going for Sanchez but I suppose Jay is borderline. I think he's good enough to be a platoon/4th OF though. 

Lineup looks so much better than it did a week ago but the construction is still bad. I would go...

S - RF - Leury

R - SS - Anderson

S - 3B - Moncada

R - 1B - Abreu

R - DH - Eloy

L - LF - Jay

R - C - McCann

S - 2B - Yolmer

R - CF - Engel

Swap Moncada and TA and I think that's as good as we could do.  Moncada is our best hitter he should either be leadoff or 2nd IMO.  Maybe if we get actual good players with high OBP he can slot in 3rd or 4th long term.  But right now in this lineup you've got two sub poor OBP guys right in front of Moncada, Abreu and Eloy that stinks.

At least Reed isn't playing.

Probably about as good of defensive OF as we can trot out there so hopefully Lopez benefits.

The hug-watch game.

Gonna be at this one.

Syndergaard starting or not? 

If its ervin Santana starting for the Mets, thatll be great

Spoiler warning is a month after release.

 

We get to see our old pal Todd Frazier tonight.

Kind of odd, he, Adam Eaton and Chris Sale will have all played back at Guaranteed Rate Field this season.

Thank god that heater was at 96, just got it in on him enough.
