As we had last night on Mack’s Mets: Mets reassign 19 to Minor league Camp. This included top prospects: Pete Crow-Armstrong; J.T. Ginn; Ronny Mauricio; Francisco Alvarez; Matthew Allan; Brett Baty; Mark Vientos; and Thomas Szapucki. Mets now have 53 players in camp.

Mets 5 Cardinals 3 (Box Score). Kevin Pillar CF 1 for 4 with an RBI and a K; Jeff McNeil 2B 0 for 3 with 1 K; Pete Alonso 1B 0 for 1, 3 walks, 1 K; Dominic Smith DH 0 for 3, 1 K; James McCann C 1 for 3 with a K; Jonathan Villar SS 0 for 3 with a K; Brandon Drury 3B 1 for 2; Albert Almora jr. RF 1 for 2; Johneshwy Fargas LF 1 for 2 with a double; Ronny Mauricio 1 for 1 with 2 RBIs; Taijuan Walker 2 innings, 2 hits, 2 runs, 2 walks, 2 Ks; Edwin Diaz, 1 inning, no runs, no hits, 2 Ks; Miguel Castro, 1 inning, no hits, no runs, 2 Ks; Sam McWilliams, 1 inning, no runs, no hits, 3 walks, 1 K.. 

SNY.TV: The Mets are off on Wednesday [today]. They travel to play the Houston Astros on Thursday at 6:05 p.m., with Jacob deGrom expected to get the start.

NY Post: Mets ‘excited’ to see Pete Alonso walk three times. “After a seesaw 2020 season, Alonso and hitting coach Chili Davis identified strike-zone discipline as an area for improvement this spring. Last year, according to Rojas, pitchers could follow a blueprint with Alonso and often induced him to swing at bad pitches. In six games this spring, Alonso owns a 1.163 OPS.”

NY Post: Sam McWilliams narrowly avoided disaster in a 31-pitch ninth inning in which he walked the bases loaded. McWilliams escaped without a run scoring for his second save this spring. 

If you never saw Edwin Diaz enter a game in Seattle to the tune "Narco" - you may want to see this:






Mike Vaccaro NY Post: James McCann ready to prove Mets made right choice over J.T. Realmuto. “Right away, they made a decision — and, it says here, a wise one — to be aggressive in addressing their glaring hole behind the plate and made McCann their No. 1 catcher at four years and $40 million — one year and $75.5 million less than the Phillies wound up shelling out to retain Realmuto.”
