Nick Plummer is 18, Matt Reynolds is 15 (uniforms, not ages).

Plummer needs to stick around and wear a number besides 42 at least once.

Brandon Nimmo watching longingly out his bedroom window at Travis Jankowski having all the fun with the other kids in his place. “But, Mom, I feel fine!” Kids, get your shots.

The CitiVision in memoriam montage revealed, at least to me, that Joye Murphy, wife of Bob, passed this offseason. (1926-2022).

Tom is home.

Very much oy.

Get hyped.

Butch Huskey remains fond of No. 42. https://www.mlb.com/news/butch-huskey-on-jackie-robinson-75th-anniversary-celebrationhttps://www.mlb.com/news/butch-huskey-on-jackie-robinson-75th-anniversary-celebration

Mets doing another right thing, this time by Jay Horwitz.

Joe Horlen, stalwart of the White Sox staff in the '60s (19 wins in 1967), 84.

Trevor May Day-today. DiComo elaborates. A subsequent MRI revealed what he described as a “very, very low-grade triceps strain.” May will rest for a couple of days while taking anti-inflammatory medication, with an eye toward returning soon. He is not currently an IL candidate.

Within the Shahs of Sunset, Bravo reality celebs for the uninitiated, lurks a clan of MLBS (from 2021). Mercedes "MJ" Javid and her husband, Tommy Feight, have been hosting spectacular bashes for their son since he was a teeny baby. For Shams Francis' sip and see back in 2019, the proud parents chose a carnival theme and served cocktails garnished with cotton candy. And when Shams turned 2 this April, MJ and Tommy went big — ballpark-style. In an Instagram post from April 19, the Shahs of Sunset mama shared snaps from Shams' Mets-themed bash. "Shams is 2," she wrote in her caption. We are SO grateful & feel so fortunate to our family for these gatherings. If you need any tips on mastering the challenging art of DIY kids crafts, I am an expert now, pre-booking consultations." She added wryly: "Kidding, it almost killed me to host 5 people for ... 4 hours." But it looks like MJ's efforts paid off. Her photos show an adorable cake covered in pinstripes and baseball caps. The party had a colorful balloon arch dotted with baseball-shaped balloons, and arts and crafts for the guests. The birthday boy matched the theme, dressed up in a little Mets jersey and blue baseball pants. https://www.bravotv.com/shahs-of-sunset/style-living/mj-javid-tommy-feights-son-shams-2nd-birthday-party-mets-themehttps://www.bravotv.com/shahs-of-sunset/style-living/mj-javid-tommy-feights-son-shams-2nd-birthday-party-mets-theme

Taijuan Walker goes on the DL with right shoulder bursitis. Edwin Diaz returns from the BL; David Peterson sticks around.

Bursitis for Walker (10-day IL).

Yennsy Diaz has been outrighted to the SYR, joining the DFA'd but not plucked away Yamamoto and Blankenhorn.

Jordan Yamamoto, previously DFA'd, passed through waivers, heads to Syracuse.

We're starting a Walker (Taijuan). It's not in Texas. They're starting a Ranger (Suarez). 6:45 PM from Philadelphia, on SNY.

Oh, sell the team. Now I get it. Good conversation, even if Goldberg's response to uniform ads amounted to “get used to it, loyal customers.”

If the Mets weren't going well, I'd worry Buck can't settle on a lineup. Because the Mets are going well, I'm delighted Buck is showing so much flexibility with his personnel. Also delightful: this thread's title.
