QUITE the bat flip, as well. Happy birthday.

Well, THAT's a shot in the arm

Rojas: "We benched Smith and McNeil because we've got to get guys like Villar and Pillar in some games." Also Rojas: On pace to pitch Castro and May in 120 games each this year

I mean, they're earned.

If the control stays-- and Rojas doesn't use him in every single fucking game-- we have a SERIOUS find in Castro.

JEEZALOU. Dom's done nothing but sting the ball today, and the softest one he hit is the single.

Detwiler's giving me that Assenmacher/Guetterman throwback long-lefty-longman vibe.

Walker seems to have noticed. Was talking with the umpire as he walked off last inning. Be respectful, Taijuan.

Conforto's got to be due, right?

Formosa never broke off the mound to field a dribbler like THAT

Not hitting with runners in scoring position is a personal choice

Accept the gift you've been given, guys.

A wee, blue-haired, overachieving Bahamian 2B hustle monster named "Jazz Chisholm" is FAR too likable on paper to be a Marlin.

The only thing uglier than Nimmo's path to that catch on Anderson was the angle at which his neck hit the padding. I'm a little surprised he's staying in, really.

Dude pounds the zone. I feel like if he's substantially healthy, he'll be a Colon-sized boon.

"Sky Walker" is obvious but smileworthy. Okay, I don't know about you guys, but I really need our guys to beat the living shit out of some Fish today.

I thought Lucchesi was "available out of the bullpen." Ain't a 5th-inning/need some length outing what you're looking for from a 5th starter on holiday?

Nice offspeed pitch to lock up Smith.

2 on, 0 out, Conforto strides to the plate. We got a STEW going. https://images.app.goo.gl/TLWSXXDA7zzR53uV6>

I was under the impression we TRADED Matz?

It's a nice throwback. So are our current uniforms (not saying/just saying). If you're going to do something new, do something new.

They will be worn on Patriots Day weekend which in non-pandemic years is when the Marathon is run. My son has already requested that I buy him the hat, so they're hitting their target audience of young baseball fans. As a one-off, it's pretty dope. Apparently, every team in the league-- 7-10 per year-- will do this at least once by the end of 2023 or so. https://news.nike.com/news/nike-mlb-city-connect-series-2021-22https://news.nike.com/news/nike-mlb-city-connect-series-2021-22 JCL wrote: It's supposed to honor the Boston Marathon, which takes its color scheme from the city flag. Though I'd be fine without I don't immediately hate these as a thing. MLB has already done worse things with the "Players weekend" series and we know its all about the $$. They obvs are not Red Sox jerseys but they don;t look bad to me. The Mets one should incorporate that fresh shade on maroony-pink-purple from the 7 train JCL/LWFS similarity score: like, 98 percent. (I wouldn't mind us going with something street-art themed, or something bold and aesthetically boss that acknowledges the multiethnic stomping grounds-- South/Central American Corona, East Asian Flushing-- we've got flanking the stadium.)

here's the link to last years (as well as 2018, 2017, and 2016) I don't think anyone finished scoring 2020.
