Ok but so did Pache

[Brendan Carr @BrendanCarr88]

I have ZERO issues with both Tauchman and Benge on the Opening Day roster. Both have earned it

[Swith @SWitHBeAtZ]

@MetsJunkies Not there yet on the defense but that takes time. Has the bat to ball skill down and the loud contact too. Exit velo numbers are really good. Let's hope the defense can take that next step too

@MetsJunkies Hes been making some nice scoops and throws on the run in these games

🔥⚾ Jacob Reimer might be the next big thing at third base for the Mets 🟠🔵

Sometimes you just watch a player swing the bat and you can feel something special brewing. 👀⚾

And every time Mets prospect Jacob Reimer steps into the box lately, that feeling gets stronger and stronger. 💪🔥

Reimer has been absolutely crushing baseballs, and if you watch the video below, you’ll see exactly what I’m talking about. 🚀⚾

Hard contact, loud doubles, and a swing that looks like it belongs in the big leagues.

The thing that stands out most about Reimer isn’t just the hit tool — it’s the impact quality of contact. When he squares the ball up, it jumps off the bat. 💥⚾

Those line drive doubles you see below? Those are the types of swings that eventually turn into home runs at Citi Field. 🏟️💣

And it’s not just offense either. Reimer has the size, arm strength, and defensive instincts to stick at third base long-term. 🧤🔥

If everything clicks, the Mets could be looking at a complete two-way third baseman who contributes on both sides of the ball.

When you combine:

⚾ loud contact
⚾ developing power
⚾ solid defense
⚾ confidence at the plate

You start to see the outline of something bigger. 👀
Honestly, I truly believe Jacob Reimer has the potential to become an elite third baseman in Major League Baseball. 💪🟠🔵

And if his development continues on this trajectory? Don’t be shocked if someday we’re talking about him as an MVP candidate wearing Mets colors. ⭐⚾

The ceiling is that high.
And the swing you’re about to see below is exactly why Mets fans should be excited about this young prospect. 🔥🚀

🚨🟠🔵 METS SPRING TRAINING LINEUP BREAKDOWN! 🔵🟠🚨
⚾🌴 March 15 – Mets vs Blue Jays | 1:10 PM 🌴⚾

The Mets are back in action this afternoon in Grapefruit League play, and today’s lineup comes with some very exciting news for Mets fans everywhere… 👀🔥

⭐ Francisco Lindor is BACK in the lineup! ⭐

After undergoing hamate surgery about a month ago, the Mets superstar shortstop will make his first appearance of the spring today. 💪⚾ That’s a huge step forward as the Mets look to get their franchise cornerstone ready for Opening Day.

Hamate injuries can sometimes sap power temporarily, but the biggest takeaway today is simple: Lindor is healthy enough to return to game action. 🧡💙 And seeing #12 back on the field is something every Mets fan has been waiting for! 🙌🔥

Let’s break down today’s lineup 👇⚾

---

🔥 Mets Starting Lineup 🔥

🥇 SS Francisco Lindor

The captain-type leader of this team makes his spring debut today after surgery. Lindor sets the tone at the top with elite defense, power, and leadership. Expect the crowd to be buzzing the moment he steps to the plate. ⚡🧢

🥈 2B Marcus Semien

One of the best all-around infielders in baseball, Semien provides power, durability, and veteran leadership. Batting second, he gives the Mets another dangerous bat right behind Lindor. 💣⚾

🥉 3B Bo Bichette

A dynamic hitter with elite bat speed, Bichette is a perfect fit in the 3-hole. His ability to rack up hits and drive the ball makes this Mets lineup extremely dangerous early. 🚀🔥

💥 DH Jorge Polanco

Polanco brings switch-hitting pop and on-base ability to the middle of the order. Having him as DH keeps his bat in the lineup while preserving his health during spring games. 🧨⚾

🦾 CF Luis Robert Jr.

Talk about electric talent. Robert Jr. brings elite power, speed, and defense to center field. Every time he steps to the plate something explosive could happen. 💣⚡

💪 1B Brett Baty

Baty continues his transition to first base, and his left-handed power is a huge weapon in this lineup. When he barrels the baseball, it travels in a hurry. 🚀🔥

🎯 C Francisco Alvarez

The young star catcher continues to develop into one of the most exciting power hitters at the position. Alvarez’s ability to change the game with one swing makes him dangerous anywhere in the lineup. 💣🧤

⚡ RF Mike Tauchman

Tauchman provides veteran experience, solid defense, and professional at-bats. He’s the type of player who can grind out tough plate appearances and extend innings. 👊⚾

🏃 LF Tyrone Taylor

Taylor brings speed and athleticism to the bottom of the lineup. His defense in left field and ability to create havoc on the bases adds another dimension to the offense. 💨⚾

---

🔥 On The Mound

⚾ SP Zach Thornton

Thornton gets the start today for the Mets as he looks to make a strong impression in camp. Spring outings are a great opportunity for pitchers to build rhythm, command, and confidence heading toward the regular season. 💪🔥

---

🧡💙 The Big Story Today

While the lineup is loaded with talent, all eyes will be on Francisco Lindor. 👀

Seeing him back in action just a month after hamate surgery is a fantastic sign for the Mets heading into the 2026 season. If Lindor returns to full strength quickly, it gives the Mets their MVP-caliber shortstop back at the center of everything they do. ⭐⚾

And Mets fans know… when Lindor is healthy, this lineup becomes extremely dangerous. 💣🔥

⚾🔥 First pitch: 1:10 PM
🌴 Grapefruit League action continues
🔵🟠 Let’s Go Mets! 🟠🔵

What are you most excited to see today?
Lindor’s return? Robert Jr.’s power? The young pitching? 👀🔥

#Mets' Nolan McLean is just plain ol' nasty... 😬

[Mets Junkies @MetsJunkies]

While he struck out a pair to start the game, #Mets' Holmes would end up having a rocky outing for #TeamUSA in the #WorldBaseballClassic...💔

[Mets Junkies @MetsJunkies]

Where are you playing Baty?

Eli Serrano: we have liftoff! 🚀

The @mets No. 14 prospect on @MLBPipeline drills a 112 mph homer 447 feet 😳

[Tony @TonyMetroMLB]

Today’s Mets first baseman Jorge Polanco, Can’t say I’ve ever seen someone warm up with their glove that way.

[WardyNYM @TheWardyNYM]

Today’s #Mets Spring Lineup ⚾️🌴

Polanco makes his first start at 1B 👀

Baty makes his first start at RF too, and I’m really curious to see how he does

Hoping to see Rorvedt get a hit or two as he competes for the Mets 3rd catcher spot

Hagenman toes the rubber #LGM

[Tony @TonyMetroMLB]

The Mets lineup today has Jorge Polanco at 1B and Brett Baty in RF — which raises the question: who’s actually playing first base when the season starts?

We broke it down on the @Allevenpodcast last night and why the best bat might ultimately get the most reps there this year.

Thank you to the 0.01% of you that don’t hit me with negativity just because we have a different in opinion. You're calling me "stupid" and "dumb" but I hear "end yourself" and "You're better off dead".

Unfortunately, that probably makes the majority of you happy and will do it more. All because i want to make videos and write about the #Mets. People will probably say "Well, you're not cut out for this" long before they're thinking of just being kind, even if you don't agree with someone.

What have i ever done to any of you? I'm just so tired of it. Trust me, sometimes I wish I had the balls to do it. I hope that makes you happy and laugh.

[Mets Junkies @MetsJunkies]

Because i want to make videos and write about the Mets, yall treat me like a page and not a person. But you're right, my mental state and me, myself in general doesn't matter. Yall are right.

[Mets Junkies @MetsJunkies]

@dNo718 @firelorddani Because i want to make videos and write about the Mets, yall treat me like a page and not a person. But you're right, my mental state and me, myself in general doesn't matter. Yall are right.

[Mets Junkies @MetsJunkies]
