Ya can't win them all if you don't win the first two games... okay, I'm done with that phrase. While in attendance this afternoon with my family, the Mets won their second straight game to open the season, 4-2, over the Braves.
The biggest story of the afternoon was Lucas Duda, who connected on two laser shot home runs. A big, strong left hander, Duda has the potential to hit a lot of home runs in the middle of this line up. He was not the only person to go yard today as David Wright gave the Mets an early lead with an opposite field home run in the first inning. That's one aspect to keep an eye on this year, especially when the Mets are playing at Citi Field; home runs that are hit. With the outfield wall brought in throughout the field and the fences lowered in left field, the Mets should be able to pop a few more balls into the stands.
RA Dickey started this afternoon and pitched well for the most part. He did struggle at times throughout the game but that was mostly due to weather and him having trouble getting control over the knuckleball. Dickey was able to make it through six innings however and the bullpen that followed him was again lights out.
Zippity-DUDA! Zippity-DUDAAAA!!!
