The New York Mets will host the Washington Nationals at Tradition Field on Thursday at 1:10 PM.

Jacob deGrom gets the start for the Mets and will go up against A.J. Cole for the Nationals instead of Stephen Strasburg who was sidelined with an ingrown toenail.

Also slated to pitch for the Mets are Jeurys Familia, Steven Matz, Jenrry Mejia, and Rafael Montero.

The game will air live on SNY, but neither Gary, Keith or Ron will be on the broadcast. Instead Alexa Datt, Jim Duquette and Scott Braun will handle the duties and I’m looking forward to it.

Lucas Duda took part in an intrasquad game this morning and looked great. He is expected to play his first spring training game Sunday, manager Terry Collins said.

Here’s a convo I had with Steve Gelbs today:
