PECOTA loves the 2019 NEW YORK METS

muzzle that 'bow imo

of courrrrrse

let's fucking do this

what, BP vs Vargas? congratulations.

if mickey has vargas throwing BP before he starts, that might explain some of his troubles

Appears to be a duel of mid-80s-mph junkballers.

Radio team sez MRI for deGrom not yet planned.

has 'barking elbow' ever been solved without surgery (apart from tanaka?)

I know everyone is naturally skeptical when it comes to injuries, and that reputation exists for a reason.

That said, everything I've heard today indicates this really is a minor issue for Jacob deGrom, at least as far as the Mets can tell pre-MRI. The concern level isn't high.

vargas cruelly robbed of a W

8 scoreless for Thor, and his solo HR is his 1-0 lead

first MLB pitcher to bat for himself in the eighth this season

shutout!

you kids might want to look that term up in Dickson's Baseball Dictionary

Source: The Mets have acquired right-handed Rays reliever Wilmer Font for cash or a player to be named.

Font throws in the mid-90s with two distinct braking pitches. He had a 5.79 ERA with the Rays and offers the Mets another bullpen option.

Steven Matz was unable to throw in his recent bullpen session and is heading back to New York to get a nerve issue in his elbow checked out.

Apparently he's only going to a miss a single start.

Being faithful to the Mets truly is a constant emotional rollercoaster

NIDO NEATO!

Yeah, that's bullshit. I carry a frayed laptop bag these days instead of a knapsack, but still.

that is the least helpful infographic. bags with more than one compartment aren't allowed?

i know you're supposed to click through to the link for details but something tells me quite a few fans aren't going to thoroughly review mets.com/bagpolicy

The New York Mets are the 6th MLB team to prohibit backpacks following the Astros, Cardinals, Nationals, Rays, and Tigers.

ain't that America

that must have really hurt the Rays attendance figures

I'm surprised the Rays don't allow Ginzu knives and fireworks

rays are also now cashless, which will no doubt be coming to a stadium near you before long

just like the newly renovated cafeteria at my "job," which i avoid. Homie don't pay that.

Looking forward to affordable MLV VR when I can just sit in a lawn chair outside and pretend I'm at the game rather than run the outrageously expensive obstacle course that is going to an actual game

MLB

this is also another way to boost food sales on the margins, ppl will be less inclined to bring a sandwich or whatever in from outside

oh hey missed Matz to IL

Dominic Smith is back today, which is good news for the Mets' bench:https://t.co/g1ysTA85TQ

Jed Lowrie update: He had a setback.

Out all season with sprained left knee capsule, Lowrie now is dealing with a hamstring strain. He’s going back to Port St. Lucie and will be re-evaluated in two weeks.

they better win this

icymi, Conforto concussion

and Carlos Gomez up

HALLELUJAH, KB can't hit

The Mets have designated outfielder Keon Broxton for assignment.

In addition to Carlos Gomez, reliever Paul Sewald is up from Syracuse. Michael Conforto goes to the seven-day IL, as expected.

Broxton, an offseason trade acquisition, hit just .143/.208/.163 with the Mets.

hey Jake is losing 4-1 to the '62 Mets

too embarrassed to wear Mets cap today

just tell people you think the duck is cool

i get that one

DUCK
FACE

Now the Mets are saying this might change, and that the probable pitcher is to be determined. So less than six hours before game time, they still don't know who is starting.

it's Font

going tomorrow night for the first time this year; not looking forward to many more
