I'm just going to say one thing right here.

0:01.7

This is going to go down as the O'Neill, O'Neill Cruise Day. Yeah. Because he was horrendous, and Paul Skeens was ticked off, walking off the mouth. You know, not a lot of people are talking about this. I was looking at some of the Pittsburgh write-ups about the game, and they're all going right after Cruz and how horrendous he was in the outfield yesterday,

0:22.5

one of the worst defensive outfielders in baseball, by the way.

0:25.7

He misplays two.

0:26.9

It's not his natural position.

0:27.9

I know that, but he misplays two balls in the first inning and all hell breaks loose

0:32.2

and the Mets get a huge break.

0:34.3

I mean, those should have been outs.

0:35.8

Yeah.

0:36.0

And maybe Bady is going to be a sack fly anyway. But nonetheless, you have five new guys in the lineup. Five new guys had

And it was kind of interesting that that happened, and he was involved in that as well.

1:08.4

And I guess you would say that he thought he had a walk, but ended up striking out there, and then the next batter hits a home run. Brandon Lau is second one. Exactly. So, you know, a lot of things weren't right for the Mets yesterday, but it was a great start. I don't want to take anything away from it. It's game one. They scored 11 runs. They had, I think, nine or 10 walks in the game.

1:28.5

They didn't give up any walks, by the way.

1:31.0

But they did give up quite a few home runs, which was a little bit unsettling.

1:34.7

But nonetheless, it's 11 runs.

1:38.2

And when you see the lineup, and it's amazing because you talk to a lot of people over the last day or so,

1:43.4

after you see the lineup in person, all there, you say to a lot of people over the last day or so, after you see the lineup

1:45.1

in person, all there, you say to yourself, wow, that's a pretty long lineup, especially
