So, who was that guy in the studio with Apple?

I am unable to mentally separate Jack Hamilton and Jack Fischer. I am in a conversation and think I am discussing one when I am actually talking about the other.

There is a music to the pattern. It's not Bach, but there is a music.

Is Brendan merely here as a site manager or a community member also? Let that be a lesson to us all. Get a new IGT started as soon as possible after the end of a game, so site mangers have something to promote. Alsowhich, do yourselves a favor and follow the site at Febbook and whatever social media platforms you do your thing on.

Clendenon probably did a number on Ferguson Arthur Jenkins at some point.

And into that void other emotions — frustration, derision, confusion — can sneak in. How are we gonna get through all of that? TOGETHER! Join us at the Grand Central Mets Forums as we navigate the rough straits of Week Two of the 2026 season. Mets: Early Impressions Still figuring out who is who? Haven't yet gotten an impression of Jorge Polanco's batting stance? Think Bo Bichette looks too much like Derek Jeter to abide? You're not alone! Join us as we suss out the character of a 2026 squad made up of passing ships that we have previously only seen sailing under foreign flags. Mets: Marcus Semien Sucks Is the new Mets second baseman, Marcus Semien, simply not getting the results at the moment, or is he washed up, toast, over the proverbial hill, and all the cliches that add up to beyond saving? The question isn't as closed as the thread title's author suggests. Your take can help save this man. Mets: Mets (McLean) vs Giants (Mahle): 4/3/26, 10:15pm The Mets didn't fly all the way to the West Coast to fire Willie Randolph this time. There is an act that needs getting together, and with a young, exciting acelet on the mound, there is no better time to do it.

That's the game. Manaea somehow managed to give up only one run in 3 2/3 innings, despite allowing four hits and two walks. So, Carlos Mendoza, who often seems to be playing for tomorrow, otherwise gets to give his pen a day off.

Gary driving Zeile a little crazy with talk of the 2000 World Series is good booth action.

Here's to ABS stopping catchers from sneaking up closer to steal strikes and getting themselves pummeled the way Alvarez just did.

Manaea is fighting himself on every pitch. Sure looks fun to be a Giant.

Manaea has to go back to this look.

The near-transparent cream-colored Giants pants leads to a double-intensity of cream coloring in the pelvic region, where the jersey tucks into the pants, and ... well, it looks like Ray has peed himself. Liberally.

Frickkin backpedally Bader.

Soto very chasey this season.

Reaching beyond his grasp. But we have that low pitch count going. It's moving along like three-pitch softball.

I knew Vientos was going to come up slugging after that defensive stop got his adrenaline going.

Mets all-time record vs. the Giants (I believe) is 302–348.

Take heart. We haven't signed Julio Teheran for this series. I mean, not yet, anyhow.

The ABS system is designed to tell you the number of inches a ball missed the strike zone by. Sometimes, the umpire misses the zone by so much, the system doesn't have a long enough ruler to measure with. Dan Bellino: "STRIKE THREE!" ABS: "I cannot begin to tell you how wrong you are." Ron Darling: "Oh, wow."

Yeah, the notion that a strike has never been clearly defined is (clearly) false. Confusing the notion that it has been inconsistently observed with the assertion that it has never been clearly defined is just stubborn (forced) ignorance. Of course it has.

And look not now, but Brandon Nimmo is off to the best start of his career. But, well, Giancarlo Stanton ain't gonna hit .500 all season.

You thought the purging and cleansing was over two days ago — or maybe you didn't — so maybe you were wrong and maybe you were right. Maybe you thought the next transactions you'd see were the Mets reloading bullpen arms for the series in San Francisco. But still assembling the lower-level rosters, the powers that be were left to give bad news to a handful of guys who thought they had made it out of Spring Training alive, only to see their seasons end before they began. Transactions, 4/1/2026 GOING Released Released Released Released Relief Pitchers Relief Pitchers Catcher Infielders Robinson Martinez Trey McGough José Aular Nick Roselli R/R DoB: 1998-03-20 High Level: AA (2025) L/L DoB: 1998-03-29 High Level: AAA (2024) R/R DoB: 2004-01-02 High Level: AA (2025) L/R DoB: 2003-03-31 High Level: A+ (2025) There is certainly a mixed bag here. Trey McGough is certainly the big surprise. The lefty had had an impressive minor-league career going through age 25, only to see things blow up in his face just as he was looking for his first big-league callup. Things went so sideways that McGough announced his retirement last May, only to get offered a rare two-year minor-league deal by the Mets in January. Presumably, they wanted to give him time in the lab to find himself again. But time has a way of running out real fast, and I guess the Mets are on some kind of hook for a two years of minor-league salary, unless there is some kind of out if a guy doesn't make an Opening Day roster. There's an out, isn't there? There's always an out. Nick Roselli is a tragedy of a different brand. A homeboy out of Levittown, NY, Nick played his college ball for SUNY Binghamton, and after a season-plus in the Mets system, was looking to make the Binghamton Rumble Ponies roster this summer, and go back and stick it to all those professors who said he'd never amount to nothing. That's the way we imagine things go at Mets Roster Central, anyhow. Home cooking doesn't always work out the way you want, anyhow, as Nick showed when his defensible .233 batting average for St. Lucie plummeted to an eye-opening .136 for Brooklyn. That was over the course of 139 plate appearances, and those are, sadly, the sort of numbers that get a dude released. Adding to the Roselli-related challenges is that the bad news is reported the day after his birthday, and one imagines he got the news on the actual birthday. In fact, three of our four releaserinos here have just recently celebrated the anniversary of their nativity. (Two of them were born a day apart!) Best wishes if you are reading, Nick. There are always great things ahead for a Binghamton Bearcat. Jose Aular is an organizational catcher. In four seasons of backing up Christopher Suero (among others), he never appeared enough to garner as many as 10 RBI. A great guy to have around for Spring Training, but too redundant as the start of the season reveals a glut of catchers at the upper levels. Robinson Martinez had been a refugee from the Orioles system that the Mets picked up in December and have put down just as fast. Martinez has a track record of holding his own against high-level competition in the Dominican Summer League, only to find his game still has rough spots when he comes back to stateside affiliated ball. It is too bad winter has to end, sometimes. That doesn't seemingly make sense, but the legacy April Fool's Day suggests it is nonetheless true.
