        Mets will be 14-11 going on their first significant road trip of the season - 9 games between Philly (2), Colorado (4) and Miami (3).

            Collin McHugh is one of the best stories of the early season. Cool dude having this kind of big league success is awesome.

              But he doesn't play good defense
              The king was shaken. He went up to the room over the gateway and wept.
              As he went, he said: "O my son Absalom! My son, my son Absalom!
              If only I had died instead of you
              O Absalom, my son, my son!"

                I'm sacrificing defense for his bat if it means we're not trotting out Pete Kozma and company every day.

                But to actually respond to this "he doesn't play good defense" claim/meme, Peralta gets too much gripe for his fielding. He makes up for his lack of range by position himself in good spots and is as sure-handed as they come, but because he's fat and was bumped to LF by the Tigers for the playoffs last season, he's automatically a botch defensively.

                Not to mention, most of the criticism on here about "bad" defensive shortstops comes from a fan who has the best defensive player in baseball playing SS for his team.

                    Roids. Hope you don't boo Braun if you go to Cardinal games because you would be a huge hypocrite.

                        I understand you've been trying to get a rise out of me for the past two weeks, but I'll bite anyways. I boo Braun for this...



                        ...and not because he took PEDs. I believe a lot of people, particularly on here, feel the same way.

                          Cardinals call up Randal Grichuk (the minor league OF in the Freese/Bourjos trade) and infielder Greg Garcia, send down Shane Robinson and Kolten Wong.

                          No clue why they're sending Wong back down to Memphis. He's struggled, but hasn't gotten much of a chance since Mark Ellis returned from injury.
