This is my 53rd (yes thats right) opening Mets day. As a Mets fan can relish in the fact that the opening day starters were the best in MLB. Seaver, Gooden, Glavine, Santana, Martinez, Harvey, even Mr "HR" Bart Colon ! This year its Tyler Megill and all i have to say is its opening day - LETS GO METS !

LGM !!

Regarding the rule changes noted, still strongly dislike the runner on 2b in extra innings. A one year rule has morphed into year 3.

I get why the owners wants it. No beer sales after the 7th inning

I get why the managers wants it. Bullpen usage

I get why the media wants it. They don't want to work later than necessary

But in my humble opinion as a 60 year baseball fan, this is a gimmick.

Rarely do baseball games go past 11 or 12 innings and those that do, we remember them because they are Rare.

I get why its happening. Pitching has changed so much over the years. Not too long ago 225-250 innings for a starter was considered the norm. Today, if a pitcher gets to 180 innings, they are studs (30 starts of 6 innings).

But it is good to have Baseball back after the winter of uncertainty.

I got them at 88 wins. Who knows. My message to Dom Smith: Look at Tylor Megill. Stay ready, stay sharp, head up: your opportunity will come. And rake.
