Let’s begin wth the tweet.
My bats came in for Spring Training today. Got one specially made for @MrMet. Anyone seen him around?#lucillerakes pic.twitter.com/Odknk8unMT

Now before we continue, as jokes go, it’s a pretty funny joke.
If you’re not up to date on your cultural references, on the current season of The Walking Dead, there is The Bad Guy Character who has a similar bat, nicknamed Lucille.
So what does the Bad Guy do with Lucille? Well, one thing he did was beat one of the main characters to death in a scene so bloody violet that it turned people off to the show and got the creators to reportedly tone down the violence in the rest of the season.
Now do I think Noah is actually going to beat Mr. Met to death? No. Am I taking some sort of Anti Violence Blogger Stance, not right now not on this post (although Mets Police is Anti Violence)
But as jokes go….pretty aggressive.
And for the millionth time, if Matt Harvey did this…
Anyway, time to wrap up the Mr. Met vs Syndergaard thing on social. It’s been weird all winter and I don’t know where you’d go from here.
