Kind of a quiet day, but Jeff WIlpon was in Binghamton – Chuck Schumer is involved as they try to save the Rumble Ponies from extinction…..
…ironic….
….anyway…
This proposal would reportedly end Single-A short-season leagues — New York-Penn League, Northwest, Appalachian and Pioneer — shift the draft from June to August, and decrease the draft from 40 to 20 rounds. These changes would take place in 2021. Also, it’s been reported that if the proposal passes, the New York Mets would assign their NY-Penn team, the Brooklyn Cyclones, to the Eastern League and Binghamton would be without a team.

And look, it’s the annual NEW CULTURE press release article in the Post. Kernan has seemed extra “Access Media” this spring as he has already had a few of these.
Communication, preparation and attention to detail.
All three components came together this week in one small example of the difference Luis Rojas is making as Mets manager. (via NY Post)
Uh huh. The last guy was compared to Gil Hodges. Oh, not the last guy…he left as part of a major cheating scandal…the guy before that was compared to Gil Hodges. Every year we’re told that this time, this manager, is prepping the team correctly. The Mets Way. Prevention and Recovery. Catch the Rising Stars.
The new Mets Way was written about in The Post two weeks ago. Rojas spelled out exactly what this will mean.
“We want to get into a town and we want to be acknowledged,’’ Rojas said. “‘Hey, the Mets do this: Go first to third, score from first on doubles, score from second on singles. They make the plays. They are fundamentally sound.’
Shut up everyone. Just shut up and win a World Series. I don’t want to hear about The New Mets Way.
The right leader at 38.
When the season starts and a good play is made, the attention to detail and collaboration of ideas on display now will have made a difference.
Let’s all bookmark this one for the next time the Post is killing the Mets. Right now, it’s the right leader. The Rojas Effect! I will remember to keep that phrase handy. Thanks Kernan!
