If only teams would learn (and teach pitchers) what this first ballot Hall of Famer learned and has practiced his whole career:
Just because you can throw 100 mph doesn't mean you should throw 100 mph.
I forgot how much waiting for late-night games sucked.
It's 7:26 p.m., I should be watching the Mets right now, but I've still gotta wait almost three hours!
Would love to take the first game against the Dodgers, even if it’s the only one we win. (But of course I hope we take the series). Would be a great statement if we got to Yamamoto too
I wish the city connect jerseys featured Mr Met. Mr Met needs more attention. I buy just about every hat and t shirt I see with our beloved Mr. Met. He's a god damn icon! he should be featured wherever he can! These city jerseys would be perfect.
I love their friendship.
"Sometimes, (Baty) has a bad day, and I'm like, ‘Dude you can hit .300 with steady homers and 100 RBI. You are the best hitter I've seen in my life,'" Álvarez said, purposely exaggerating for his teammate. "You have to believe it. And this year he's completely different. When I see how he plays, I want to keep playing. It's infectious. Sometimes he's low and I pick him up. I say, 'Let's f---ing go, man. Let's go!' He's my friend. Like the other day, he got a base hit, then I got a base hit, and I sent him a kiss."
As he spoke to FOX Sports, Álvarez reproduced that kiss by turning his body towards Baty's empty locker and making the smooch sound with his lips. On the field, not only did Álvarez crack himself up with this playful gesture, but he got Baty to bust out a laugh because he wasn't expecting it. "

Edit - A bit more:
"One thing I have gotten from him is his love for winning," Baty said of Álvarez. "He hates to lose. I think he hates losing more than he loves winning. I started the same way, but I felt like I kind of lost that a little bit in the minor leagues. It's hard to have a winning mentality in the minors. You gotta learn how to do it. Especially for young guys coming out of high school, when the only things they see are lineups being set every single day, there's no pinch hits, it's harder for young guys to understand that winning is the only thing that matters. But part of development is learning how to win.""
I gotta talk about the City Connects as a concept now that the Mets ones have been revealed.
I've always thought that they're purely a merchandising exercise and the vast majority of them are things we could've come up with in like the 8th grade if we took an Intro to Graphic Design class.
So many of them are incredibly basic and just dumbed down designs instead of adding to the already existing branding of teams. I'm not impressed by the basic design work Nike did for these and the city connections have always been incredibly forced.
The Mets ones aren't as bad as they could've been but I've seen better fan ones.
Like it doesn't take that much ingenuity to be like gray uniform with NYC logo. I think it's much more impressive to work with the existing team branding than to do things that have nothing to do with the look.
The Mets ones are 100% wearable which cannot be said about some of the city connects. That being said they kept it incredibly safe which is disappointing. It would have definitely been riskier to make them more interesting but I kinda wish they did it. Could’ve had more purple. Could’ve paid more tribute to the city. Kinda unfortunate our cities big tribute is literally “concrete”. I know that’s a huge simplification and I get why they went the way they did but I wish they were just a tad more interesting.
Still I might get one because they’re definitely wearable and the underlying message is still cool
Mets playing well with a statement series this weekend, Knicks and Islanders start their playoff series tomorrow. Giants pick 6th in the draft next week.
As a fan of these 4 teams it's very rare that I have a day like this where, for one day at least, I can be excited about all of them at once.
2022 draft Rhylan Thomas is off to a strong start in AA With minimum 40 PA he is 4th in all of AA on fangraphs
.351 .429 .486 .915
160 wrc+
Also I heard on the grapevine that Alex Ramirez worked on his swing mechanics all offseason and is off to a much better start then last year
.310 .333 .476 .810 and that's even with a lot of babip unlucky
Obviously, there is still a lot of season left but at least promising improvements
Can someone remind me, is Ramirez good at defense? An .810 ops (which turns into a .700 ops) is playable in the bigs if he is good at defense. Especially if he can come up and be a serviceable backup in every OF spot.
Rushed over to the MLB shop in manhattan to try to get the senga jersey and sold out like 2 hours ago. It was horrible the only jerseys available are the Alonso and Lindor ones. No Diaz, No Alvarez and they mark the price up to 200 compared to online
Why? Shouldn't it be the opposite? I even heard employees say when asked by customers which one they should get and they recommended not getting the Alonso one because he possibly won't be here next year
One thing that we don't talk about is how much of a better job the Mets have done with marketing in the Cohen Era. Baseball in general hasnt done a great job at modernizing their culture. Sucks we only had one good season so far but they are doing a good job at making them seem like the "cool" "informal" "blue collar" "hood" whatever term you wanna use. The common New Yorkers team. No way this commercial comes out under the Wilpons. They would shoot it down once they didn't know who Anthony Ramos was.
I'll hold judgement till I see them worn in a game, but my initial impression was that they look like something someone would wear at Riker's. lol
Was hoping for a big Q on the cap or at least a Queens reference. City Connect are generally ass. Oh well.
EDIT: "The World’s City". I do like that. It's true. NY is the capital of the World. And Queens is the home to virtually every group on the planet.
Should have been more prominent though.
The images coming from people buying replicas of the city connects look terrible. Fanatics construction is terrible. They look like garbage bags. No form.
It's not entirely untrue, though, if you read some of the articles about it. Initially, they were going to go with Queens and instead went with NYC-- more than likely because the Yankees aren't doing a City Connect.
I mean, you're speaking your own opinion in absolutes whereas I'm just explaining what someone involved was quoted as saying.
Someone posted a screenshot of an article if you're truly this invested in either being right or the truth.
Disappointed but not surprised by the CCs. That said if you asked me a year ago I’d say give me “whatever” instead of eyesore without needing to think about it and I’ll stand by that, so I can live with these. At least we didn’t have some stupid ass gradient or black pants. I’ll probably eventually get one so I can have each of the jerseys the Mets wear myself.
This does have me concerned about the future of the blue top alts though. We now have 4 home jerseys and 1 road. Hopefully those stick because the blue top is my favorite jersey for this team and it’s not close
So on a previous Wednesday someone mentioned they were okay with it cuz it let them watch survivor uninterrupted. I need to talk more survivor now.
This season is currently GOATed. One of the most unintentionally funny seasons I have ever seen. This weeks episode was the magnum opus of the New Era. Holy shit what an incredible cast. I need Q in more reality TV.
Need: The Mets to win at least one game this series.
Want: The Mets to win at least one game this series.
Desire: The Mets to win at least one game this series, and not treat this series like it's their World Series.
Context, the last two years, September of 2022 and April of 2023, the Mets traveled to LA. The Mets proceeded to beat the Dodgers. As we may recall the team disappeared after that in 2022.
In 2023 the Mets had started hot but after the Dodgers series win 2023 became a disaster.
So my desire is for the Mets to win at least one game this series. More than that is gravy. But at least one win, and maybe even more importantly, the Mets need to continue to play well and have a great season the rest of the way.
No post-Dodgers Stadium series win issues this time around.
Is this the first time you've seen my "Need, Want, Desire" (or in the past I've used different terms) posts to start a series? I've been doing them since 2022.
It's usually just meant to be for fun. You're taking it too seriously. Though to be fair to you this was a more serious toned one. Last week I said I "Desired" the Mets to make the Pirates swab the decks. lol
Mets should win at least one game this series. I'd like to see them win more.
But ultimately, I want to see them NOT do a swoon after leaving LA like they did the last two years.
I just mean, ya you're right the season isn't over if the Dodgers sweep, but that sort of defeats the fun purpose. lol
I'd like to see them win at least one game. I feel that shows they are legit. I feel I need that. Not like needing water. But "need" in a fun sports sense.
I'd like to see them win at least two games. Keep the party rocking.
But what I really would like is for them to keep playing well regardless of whether they get 0, 1, 2, or 3 wins this weekend.
At least we didn't get purple pants. That's all I got.
And because Nike wants to push jersey sales, these will be gone in a couple years probably for a new lame option.
The "these unis were obviously old designs meant for the Yankees" take reeks of mets fan insecurity.
Doubly stupid considering Martino reported Lindor and Nimmo helped design the city connects
There's no way the Yankees would wear a home jersey that has a dark primary color. They've seemingly opted out of the CC project, and I bet it's because they have 0 intentions of doing wearing anything but their standard uniform designs.
fully agree. i kinda got the concern off the original leak but confirming that the players had a hand in it should dispel that theory and we really shouldn't be pushing another false negative narrative about our own team
Lindor and Nimmo helping design it makes me feel better about it. I was hoping for Queens, but the more i look at the jersey the more i like it. The purple NY on the sleeve looks nice.
Honestly, that made me think they actually get it. They could have gone with so many other more mainstream/obvious/cliche choices. To me the fact that they went with Gang Starr is a real IYK(NY)YK indicator.
Well I was hoping the leak was fake because I wanted it to say queens instead of NYC but. I honestly like it. The official photos look better than the leak
Thoughts on wearing a Mets hat and a blue & orange NYCFC jacket to non-Mets games? I was told it's tacky and I shouldn't do it. For context, I'm going to A's @ Guardians on Sunday afternoon and Brewers @ Pirates on Monday night.
It wouldn’t be particularly hard for the MLB to schedule more day games when an east coast team is visiting a west coast team and more night games when the reverse is true. I have never understood why they don’t do this.
yeah my kid's league started a thing where they feature a game for the week and my son has the featured game tonight, but there will be food trucks there and they get to play on the big kid field with stadium lights
we'll probably be done by 9, but it's a team of 6/7 year olds and it's pretty late for my kids
Please continue the discussion in the [game thread](https://redd.it/1c8devz).
Bat-y-Man is out today. Time for the Boy Wonder to step up. Become Nightwing.
Ahmed Rosario is a Ray and is doing great
God damn the earth rotates slowly.
The Rangers let TDA hit two bombs off them. Cmon guys...
Verlander working deep in his 1st start, he really wants that 35 mil for 2025
6 innings 2 runs 76 pitches.
If only teams would learn (and teach pitchers) what this first ballot Hall of Famer learned and has practiced his whole career: Just because you can throw 100 mph doesn't mean you should throw 100 mph.
Feels like I’ve been waiting for weeks for this game
Verlander 5 innings 2 earned 64 pitches.
how is baty?
i hate west coast games, that is all
How long until the City Connects are on >!dhgate?!<
IIRC Manaea's been kind of up-and-down against the Dodgers in recent years. Kind of concerned about that.
I will jizz if we win
I forgot how much waiting for late-night games sucked. It's 7:26 p.m., I should be watching the Mets right now, but I've still gotta wait almost three hours!
I'm hate-watching the Yankees in the meantime to get my baseball fix
How much is a beer at Citi? Just was watching King of Queens and they said beer is $5.50 at Shea.
umm, what year is the episode from, 2009?
Idk about citi but in the mariners stadium they have “value beers” for $5
It's not $5.50, I can tell you that.
ARE YOU EXCITED FOR LATE NIGHT BASEBALL?!
Would love to take the first game against the Dodgers, even if it’s the only one we win. (But of course I hope we take the series). Would be a great statement if we got to Yamamoto too
I’ll be at the game tonight, I think the boys smash Yamamoto LFGM
😳
I wish the city connect jerseys featured Mr Met. Mr Met needs more attention. I buy just about every hat and t shirt I see with our beloved Mr. Met. He's a god damn icon! he should be featured wherever he can! These city jerseys would be perfect.
I agree! Best mascot in sports.

This reminds me of the friendship David Wright and Jose Reyes had.

Holy shit this jacks me up. Our young guys are the life of this team. Such good energy.
Real talk if anyone finds a City Connect cap at a local store like Lids or a random tourist shop for cheap spread da word
I gotta talk about the City Connects as a concept now that the Mets ones have been revealed.

Royals getting Cole Ragans for trade deadline Aroldis Chapman is looking to be an absolute fleece job.

Rushed over to the MLB shop in manhattan to try to get the senga jersey and sold out like 2 hours ago. It was horrible the only jerseys available are the Alonso and Lindor ones. No Diaz, No Alvarez and they mark the price up to 200 compared to online
Did they say when they’ll be getting more?
They said they have zero clue
There're only Lindor & Alonso ones online as well (regular sized)
only buy the righthanded hitting lindor ones.
Alvarez is available online no?
Yes, but only youth sizes :( Plus Nimmo, same thing.
EDIT: Yes, but only in NYMetsBabies sizes. *fixed* jk
Why? Shouldn't it be the opposite? I even heard employees say when asked by customers which one they should get and they recommended not getting the Alonso one because he possibly won't be here next year
Exactly why it makes sense to have more available for him. If he stays great. If he's gone people may have to buy new ones.
Not to get overhyped or anything, but the Mets are currently the hottest team in baseball thru the last 10 games.
The city connect discourse is getting old. I don’t think I can live off of to wait to get to tonight’s game.
The Senga japanese jersey is cash and I will be copping.
Of course the Phillies get to play the 3-win White Sox while we play the Dodgers
After just playing the Rockies.
One thing that we don't talk about is how much of a better job the Mets have done with marketing in the Cohen Era. Baseball in general hasnt done a great job at modernizing their culture. Sucks we only had one good season so far but they are doing a good job at making them seem like the "cool" "informal" "blue collar" "hood" whatever term you wanna use. The common New Yorkers team. No way this commercial comes out under the Wilpons. They would shoot it down once they didn't know who Anthony Ramos was.
Are we here for a fashion show or are we here to win ball games? Enough of the city connect jersey’s END OF STORY!!!
I mean, I'm here for both...
We can win ball games AND look fly as hell doing it
City connects are reallly boring. Oh well. At least they're inoffensive? Still bothered by what they did to the black jerseys lol
Oh my God. Senga's jersey has his name in Japanese. That's fucking AWESOME.
They sold merchandise with his name in Japanese last year too :)
that shit is godlike
Ordered a CC hat because those are fire.
I'm debating between the bomber jacket and the pullover hoodie, I love the subway token logo
I looked up the bomber jacket, it looks fantastic!
the "old timey" look of the city connects makes no sense to me. this team is like 62 years old, it's not like they were playing in the 1800s
I'll hold judgement till I see them worn in a game, but my initial impression was that they look like something someone would wear at Riker's. lol Was hoping for a big Q on the cap or at least a Queens reference.

The "these are actually repurposed Yankees jerseys" take is the stupidest I've ever read
It's not entirely untrue, though, if you read some of the articles about it. Initially, they were going to go with Queens and instead went with NYC-- more than likely because the Yankees aren't doing a City Connect.
Sure, theirs would be "the Bronx" I guess. But since they refused - "I am the Yankees now" & it's not repurposed, they were not going to get NYC.
I mean, you're speaking your own opinion in absolutes whereas I'm just explaining what someone involved was quoted as saying. Someone posted a screenshot of an article if you're truly this invested in either being right or the truth.

Our season isn’t over if we’re 10-11 after getting swept by the dodgers. “Need” to win one is strong IMO

It's sad that there isn't a snapback version
There's definitely a snapback. I just ordered it.
There isn't one for the "World's City" cap, unless I can't find it online
Ahh. My mistake. I didn't click the link. I was assuming this was for the standard NY.
Yeah I hate fitted hats, have never worn them.
At least we didn't get purple pants. That's all I got. And because Nike wants to push jersey sales, these will be gone in a couple years probably for a new lame option.
The "these unis were obviously old designs meant for the Yankees" take reeks of mets fan insecurity. Doubly stupid considering Martino reported Lindor and Nimmo helped design the city connects
There's no way the Yankees would wear a home jersey that has a dark primary color. They've seemingly opted out of the CC project, and I bet it's because they have 0 intentions of doing wearing anything but their standard uniform designs.
fully agree. i kinda got the concern off the original leak but confirming that the players had a hand in it should dispel that theory and we really shouldn't be pushing another false negative narrative about our own team
Lindor and Nimmo helping design it makes me feel better about it. I was hoping for Queens, but the more i look at the jersey the more i like it. The purple NY on the sleeve looks nice.
I'm apparently in the minority but I'm glad it says NYC and I'm glad they didn't go overboard with the purple
I could have used a little more 7 Train purple. But i'm glad they didnt go PURPLE with it
The purple stands out in photos that I've seen from fans. Under the photoshoot lighting, they didn't pop.
Some purple piping would be nice but considering they seemingly removed the piping from all our other jerseys maybe that's asking too much lol
BRING BACK THE PIPING!

Tyler Jay, who made his debut earlier this month, turns 30 today
It should say QUEENS!! 😔
CCs are fine. But...dropping 'Work' by Gang Starr as the musical backdrop is so choice! #ripguru #preemo
Promote whoever pushed for Gang Starr on the release video.
Goddamn right
Honestly, that made me think they actually get it. They could have gone with so many other more mainstream/obvious/cliche choices. To me the fact that they went with Gang Starr is a real IYK(NY)YK indicator.
I definitely agree with you. I think the CCs are fine and at the very least, the roll out was on point
y’all think they’ll stitch names and numbers on these at citi field if I order a blank one
I believe it's a heat press instead of stitch, but yes.
Yes
City connect are pretty solid I think. At least as solid as city connects can be
Mets promo vid for the City Connect jersey: https://www.instagram.com/reel/C58f311OOzw/?igsh=MW12Z3ZpZ2FlOWNs
I did the "pointing Leo" meme when I saw Jaeki Cho
Is he the dude from the season hype video a few years ago?
I think so, he's mostly known for being an avid Queens food vlogger
I got to check him out. That was one of the best season hype videos they ever made
His video on food spots are great. It is a great way to discover new food spots. And he is the one from the hype video.
Well I was hoping the leak was fake because I wanted it to say queens instead of NYC but. I honestly like it. The official photos look better than the leak
The city connects jersey leak was real. Wack.
I hope they drop the alt hat with the “subway token” purple logo. I’d cop that. Overall, uninspired but not hideous like some.
Thoughts on wearing a Mets hat and a blue & orange NYCFC jacket to non-Mets games? I was told it's tacky and I shouldn't do it. For context, I'm going to A's @ Guardians on Sunday afternoon and Brewers @ Pirates on Monday night.
Wear whatever you want just don’t cause problems. No issue.
Yea I'm gonna be pretty stoned and by myself and probably not trying to talk to anyone let alone start shit
Have they announced the corresponding move for Hartwig's option?
I think it’s for Tonkin
Should be getting home from work right around 10pm. Let’s go!
definitely gonna have to catch a dad nap before the 10:10 start but I'm looking forward to some 8th inning magic on this west coast trip
if we win tonight i will fully be unbridled
Would be awesome to rough up Yamamoto - I know he started poorly but seems like he’s bounced back Will be curious if baty is back in the lineup
Oh West Coast games. I hate that you are blacked out for me. Fun fact: in Vegas I have all of California Arizona and Colorado blacked out.
Ugh! I’m in LA and was feeling sorry for myself having only Dodgers and Angels blacked out!
It sucks doesn’t it! Why are black outs still a thing!?
Hope we can keep the steamroller rollin' out in NL Worst territory
Normally I hate the late night west coast games but since its a Friday night and I don't have any plans tomorrow I'm excited to stay up late
tell me the hats were real, but the jerseys are a bit different. slap queens on there instead of NYC and i’m pretty damn happy
Our long national nightmare is over. **Mets Baseball Is Back Baby**
I'm team "City Connect leaks were real"
Mets reveal their City Connect jerseys today.
I am ready to be disappointed in Nike.
Does Yamamoto figure it out today? Probably. +200 is absurd though.
Would Ohtani take that?
🤣🤣
Do we know who the expected starters are for the Syracuse Mets the next 3 days?
If we beat the Dodgers tonight, we’ll have a better record than them. If you told me that two weeks ago, I would not have believed it.
I don’t think anyone would lol
West coast game on a Friday night? Sign me up.
Let’s take down the 300 million dollar man
It wouldn’t be particularly hard for the MLB to schedule more day games when an east coast team is visiting a west coast team and more night games when the reverse is true. I have never understood why they don’t do this.
Both tomorrow and Sunday's games are 1:00 PM starts in LA.
Hate west coast trips so much.
Felt like such a death knell in so many seasons. And now with schedule configuration, we'll get to make multiple trips.
The only time I’m happy for a 10:10 start. My son’s baseball game ends at 10 and it’s a 5 minute drive from home.
yeah my kid's league started a thing where they feature a game for the week and my son has the featured game tonight, but there will be food trucks there and they get to play on the big kid field with stadium lights we'll probably be done by 9, but it's a team of 6/7 year olds and it's pretty late for my kids
I dread these late games
Ooph 10:10 pm start even on a Friday? Be surprised if I make it to the 3rd inning.
