I’m hearing a lot of excuses. Don’t wanna hear it. Spend money, get players.
Prior to tonight’s game, the Mets announced the following transactions…RHP Jacob deGrom was reinstated from the 10-Day IL (right side tightness)…RHP Jordan Yamamoto was placed on the 10-Day IL, retroactive to May 24, with right shoulder soreness…INF Jake Hager was claimed by the Milwaukee Brewers and people are acting like they are upset about that but they really aren’t.
The Mets will rush JDG back tonight but he’s totally fine. What could go wrong? Did you see him throw 102 last week?
James McCann played his first career game at first base last night…It was his 635th career game in the major leagues…He never appeared at first base in 359 career minor league games but the WIlpons are stupid and cheap and we don’t have enough players…He appeared in the infield only once in his professional career, playing third base on May 14, 2014 in a game with Toledo against Syracuse.
It is May 25th. Pete Alonso has six home runs.
Dom Smith will play LF because he overslept once and there was a Hodges Moment.
