My favorite rite of spring used to be the opening weekend of the ncaa tournament, but over the last few years it’s become opening day. I can’t wait to see what the game looks like with a pitch clock and limits on the shift.

I’m looking forward to another fun Mets season, but I can’t help but think Cohen spent almost $400mm to become the 3rd best team in his own division. Three factors will make or break this season:
- They are still missing at least one power bat and one stud outfielder. If Vientos and Baty can’t break their way into the lineup by the all start break, it will be a very bad sign.
- Who will close and do they have enough arms to get to the closer? Last year the pen cost the team the NL east title… I don’t think this years pen is as good as last years.
- Can their pitching hold up? I think the starters are better than last year only because Jake was such a non-factor. But these dudes are OLD and I’m not convinced either Megill or Peterson are any better than the fifth starter and there is nothing in the farm.

I’m generally optimistic, but the Braves and Phils are more talented 1 through 9. I think Mets will win 90 games.
