  1. Alcantara was put on the paternity list, so Mets won’t face him this week.
  2. With terrible results. Seems like a big error of judgment by Mendoza there.
  3. Peterson should not be pitching here to Santander.
  4. =whippoorwill post_id=188706 time=1743713925 user_id=79] Hoping for a Borough Race report!
  5. Salary cost is the balance of the $17M for 2025, $17M in 2026 and $21M in 2027, for his age-29, 30, and 31 seasons. That’s well below market rate for a pitcher of his caliber. This is indeed the sort of player for whom you make an exception re: otherwise not trading prospects.
  6. I haven't been able to watch. Why is Diaz pitching the 8th inning of a tied game?
  7. I was hoping the Mets would have traded for Alcantara before this game. Maybe before his next start against the Mets next week.
  8. Before he was in Atlanta, Fredi Gonzalez was managing the Marlins for a while. By process of elimination, he must be #10.
  9. Oops! I knew that. Good correction. Mike Redmond, another one of the former-catcher-turned-managers should be #15.
  10. Girardi is #6. Won Manager of the Year.
  11. Cal Quantrill pitching for the Marlins tonight. Things I know about him: 1. Son of former MLB pitcher Paul. 2. Was at the center of a benches clearing incident last year in which Red Sox catcher Reese McGuire yelled at Quantrill and Quantrill responded by taunting McGuire about his prior criminal record for being caught masturbating in a parking lot.
  12. 80 games and ineligible for the postseason should the Braves make it.
  13. Francisco Lindor announced this morning the birth of a son, so a roster move for parental leave wouldn't be a surprise.
  14. Frayed Knot wrote: So there are three APPLE+ games this year? Thought the limit was two/team. Next year it'll probably be four. Year after that there'll be 40 They've only announced the Apple schedule through the end of June but yes, there are 3 Mets games including yesterday. The Dodgers also have 3. Not surprisingly you won't see the White Sox or Colorado or Sacramento on that schedule. I'm aware there's a 5 appearance limit in the Sunday night slot but haven't heard that about Apple. As for the future, of course you were exaggerating but if Apple took the ESPN games, that wouldn't be bad.
  15. At least we got them for opening day. There are two weekends coming up (vs LAD in May, at PHI in June) in which the Friday game is Apple, Saturday Fox, and Sunday ESPN.
  16. Mets batted first so it’s an easy call that Soto is first here. If Mets were in the field first I’d still go Soto because of batting order as suggested above.
  17. Lindor SS Soto RF Alonso 1B Nimmo LF Vientos 3B Winker DH Taylor CF Baty 2B Torrens C Megill P
  18. 1,253. Juan Soto 1,254. Clay Holmes (Do we need a new thread for this year?)
  19. DiComo reporting that Blackburn will start the year on the IL, with Brazoban and Kranick both making the team.
  20. Bring back Randall Simon and it might be funny.
  21. No offense to Metirish who’s reporting the news but I find both of those claims hard to believe: 1. The Mets were still selling season tickets as of Monday at 5 PM. The idea that they moved every last one? I guess it’s possible… 2. The Mets were drawing well over 3M in the last few years at Shea and even cracked 3M during the first year at Citi Field (the post-2009 attendance peaked at 2.8M in 2016). It would be quite remarkable for season ticket memberships to now exceed what they were back in the 2006-2009 timeframe. I guess it’s possible…but seems unlikely.
  22. Oh no 1. Please, can this team just for once, have an original idea? This is like when they were playing Sweet Caroline. 2. Those costumes are hideous 3. If this replaces the “Queens Crew,” still a net positive. But overall, this is just bad.
  23. 1. What will the Mets' record be? 104-58 2. Predict the NL East standings from 1 to 5: Mets, Braves (WC), Phillies (WC), Nationals, Marlins 3. Will the Mets make the playoffs (if so, as the division champ or 1st, 2nd, or 3rd WC)? Division Champs 4. If so, how far will they go? WS Champs (sweep; beat Dodgers 4-1 in NLCS, the only postseason game the Mets lose) 5. Who will be the World Champion? Mets 6. Number of regular season HRs for Pete Alonso: 44 7. Who will be on the cover of the 2025 winner of the Tabloid Cover Derby?
  24. Edgy MD wrote: I would assume Canning and Megill, but I guess that Senga not being ready for Opening Day doesn't necessarily rule him out of the entire series? I'm guessing that they wait until the second series to use Senga - maybe the final game against the Marlins in that series.
  25. Britton reports that (1) Senga won't be ready for opening day and (2) Mets had previously expressed interest in not putting Peterson up against the Astros.
