- Interviewed Justin Verlander today for Mets book, but a timely comment to share now is that he told then-teammate Tyler Rogers how much he was going to enjoy the Mets, how well they treat players and families. Word of mouth in the league now has Mets has a desired destination.
- Aaron Judge: “I’m not really going to go back and forth with this. He’s got probably one of the best hitters in the game behind right now in what Alonso is doing. It has been fun to watch. He’s hitting close to .400. He’s driving the ball to all over the field, driving guys in."
- The relationship between Senga and the Mets is in very good shape. He was included in the discussions about the option, which should last about 2 starts depending how he does, per league sources. He felt respected by the process and consented without issue.
- Here’s a wild stat, Jonah Tong has received more run support in two innings than Jacob DeGrom did on his entire Mets career. Unverified
- The Mets winning games without a bunch of guys firing on all cylinders seems like a very good sign.
- Nolan McLean was asked last night why he wasn't walking batters like he did in Triple-A. He said that he was pitching to contact because he had great defenders behind him in MLB. Oh. Apparently hard things are that easy for some people.
- MLB told Aaron Boone that the Ryan McMahon play should have been ruled a catch. Quite a series for that ump.
- That was a special early season night at Citi Field. Very big crowd , Soto drives in a run, Lindor walk off HR, feels kinda 2024
- If you're watching Mets game, the big event is Lindor's multi-homer game, but the huge play was Tyrone Taylor hustling down the line to stay out of double play just before Lindor. Without that, no Lindor AB at all.
- Pitching prospect Nolan McLean will make his MLB debut starting for the Mets on Saturday, league sources say.
- For all the Mets have put themselves through over the past few months, it's Sept 19 and Citi Field is virtually shaking after that Juan Soto home run.
- In other Jazz Chisholm Jr. news, I asked Juan Soto for a review of Chisholm's opening weekend Soto shuffle. "He did it really good," Soto said with a big smile. So for Chisholm, that's a fan in Juan Soto and a critic in Dave Portnoy. I'd say he's coming out ahead in that deal
- Aaron Judge said, “The Mets are the Mets. They’re a great ballclub. It starts with their manager.”
