Fun day in Queens.
Tonight’s starter…..MATT HARVEY! Yep, JDG has a stiff neck. Hmmm.
Flores and Duda to the DL. TJ and Gilmartin up.
Reyes The Untouchable is at SS because Cabrera has something.
Bruce at first because someone has to play first. If only we had used the 40 practice games to try him there.
Cespedes not in the lineup. But hey Conforto is playing! See, you got what you wanted!
Oh my.
