Asdrubal Cabrera made an error. Then he had a chance to erase that runner by turning a double play. Booted that one, too.

Well, he is a Braves pitcher facing the Mets. A double header today, this is going to be extremely ugly, folks.

EDIT: Cabrera messing up plays against the Braves, he is truly a Met.

His next AB, with a runner on first, he grounded back to the pitcher. Easy double play, but the pitcher threw it away.

It's contagious.

He's definitely calmed down since then. Thrown around 40 pitches and something like 32 of them are strikes.

C'mon he's a young guy in his first MLB game. Mistakes like that are excusable. Aside from that he's having a great game.

Yes. That's what I meant by 'no problem throwing to the catcher'.

e: just found out Newcomb's nickname is "The Duke". Acceptable.

Hopefully Clifton and Tseng turn out to be legit and continue to dominate upon their eventual promotion to AAA this summer, so we at least have some decent rotation pieces next season.

I feel like Butler might have potential too, but he's clearly just not got the command to succeed yet.

Butler has only thrown 78 pitches, there are two outs, and the three best arms in the pen were already burned yesterday. Why the hell is Maddon pinch hitting for Butler here?

e. And then Montero strikes out, as if we all didn't see that coming. Great job Maddon!
