That was my biggest takeaway. More of that, please. Hated the reliance on the home run.

I'm not a replay fan, but that sure saved the day. Not sure how the umpire missed Wilmer's slide, but if that call stood they might still be playing. (By the way, big thumbs-down to Reyes for not getting to third on the throw home. If this offense is anything like last year's, we need smarter baseball from everyone, especially a vet.)

Good job by Syndergaard pitching with discomfort. Got strikeouts when he needed to, especially after Freeman's one-out triple.

I liked the stolen bases. Baby steps, need a lot more of that.

Still don't like having to watch Cespedes loaf around in left, wish the club had gone in another direction. (Speaking of which, in what weird world does the more athletic and younger big-money guy refuse to keep playing center, leaving the 36-year-old vet to take one for the team and do his best out there? I think Granderson ought to get more praise for that and Cespedes more criticism.)

Fun Opening Day at the park, nice weather. Saw three fights on the promenade, a little surprising for a day game.
