It's the Boomer and Geo podcast from WFAN. And we're coming to you live from the Built Ford Tough Studio. Boomer Esiason, Greg Giannotti. It's Boomer and Geo on the fan. Simulcast across the country on CBS Sports Network. And wherever you are on the free Odyssey app. Good Friday morning. A feel-good Friday indeed as the Mets take care of business on opening day. The Mets opening day. Home openers generally work out for them. They lost the last two prior to yesterday, but they are back on track in a big way. Knocking Paul Skeens out in the first inning. So many pitches taken, so many balls fouled off, so many walks it was driving. Skeens and everybody, that was on the mound for the Pirates crazy. So if that is the new philosophy and everybody can execute it, this is going to be a lot of fun to watch this offense.
And, you know, these are the days right now that we were thinking of and dreaming of in the middle of the winter with the 22 inches of snow and the frozen pipes and the bombogenesis and the polar vortex and everything else. You know, a 60-some-odd degree day, opening day, and a Sweet 16 going on, and St. John's playing Duke tonight.
What were the key highlights from the Mets' Opening Day?
We'll get to the Knicks, we'll get to the tournament, but... Great day for the Mets, Boomer. Good morning. How are you? It certainly was, Jay. And I'm just going to say one thing right here. This is going to go down as the O'Neal Cruz day. Yeah. Because he was horrendous. And Paul Skeens was ticked off walking off the mound. You know, not a lot of people are talking about this. I was looking at some of the Pittsburgh write-ups about the game. And they're all going right after Cruz and how horrendous he was in the outfield yesterday. One of the worst defensive outfielders in baseball, by the way. He misplays two balls in the first inning, and all hell breaks loose, and the Mets get a huge break. I mean, those should have been outs.
And maybe Beatty is going to be a sack fly anyway. But nonetheless, you have five new guys in the lineup. Five new guys had RBIs yesterday. It's a great way to get started. Benj gets his home run because you like Benj, I like Benj. Everybody loves Benj. We all love Benj. And I would say that, you know, O'Neal Cruz was also the guy who ended up getting struck out with a pitcher's challenge. That's right. He's walking to first base. And it was kind of interesting that that happened, and he was involved in that as well. And I guess you would say that he thought he had a walk, but ended up striking out there, and then the next batter hits a home run. Brandon Lau, his second one. Exactly. So, you know, a lot of things weren't right for the Mets yesterday, but it was a great start.
I don't want to take anything away from it. It's game one. They scored 11 runs. They had, I think, nine or ten walks in the game. They didn't give up any walks, by the way, but they did give up quite a few home runs, which was a little bit unsettling. But nonetheless, it's 11 runs, and when you see the lineup, and it's amazing because you talk to a lot of people over the last day or so, After you see the lineup in person, all there, you say to yourself, wow, that's a pretty long lineup, especially at the bottom of the lineup, kind of like the Yankees had opening night. The bottom of the lineup is going to actually hit and participate. When the top of the lineup, other than taking a few walks, really doesn't participate as much, that's a great way to get going.
O'Neal Cruz was just an absolute disaster out in center field. Yeah, I mean, in the first inning, it was a mess. But, like, I also want to give the Mets credit in the fact that, like, the Luis Robert Jr. at bat in the first inning where he ends up taking the walk, fouled off a gazillion pitches. You know, the fact that the Mets are putting those balls in play, and one of them, I mean, obviously the Beatty one was hit harder than the one that he just completely just lost in the sun. Yeah. and dropped and that was just a depth perception thing with the Beatty one um but they were just relentless so yeah I mean when you put balls in play and you're you're aggressive and everybody is hitting the baseball things like that could happen for you and that's that was the most exciting thing was was that I mean these long at bats mentioned the Rob Lewis Robert Jr.
