Mets Police Morning Laziness: Mystic Matt tries again, ConcessionGate fallout

As I have been breathing fire since Opening Day, I did want to let you guys know I did hear from Chris Brown of the Mets.  Chris is who I had specifically tagged on the post the other day. Since none of us have a time machine, I appreciate the discussion we have had and thank Chris for contacting me.  All good and let’s move on from that particular part of the ongoing Guest Experience discussion.

That being said, I am very interested in the fan experience at Citi Field which really goes back to the heyday of the blog back in the early days of Citi Field.  I see you guys are interested as well as the site traffic has been the highest it has been in years and yesterday’s site traffic was “off to the races” as I used to say before Facebook killed blogs.  Nice to see everyone back and thanks for reading and sharing.

Over at Van Hagar, @mediagoon has some Deep Throat info about what went down with concessions this weekend.  Good read.

Only one playin today is this dude!

Wow busy day yesterday here at MPHQ.

Nice job by the Mets declaring the snow-out before 1pm. I hate when fans have to stress all day. This way we all know and can move along with our lives. Details on the make good etc here.

Matt from Mystic, just a quiet kid from the suburbs who wants to be a #4 starter and then go home and watch TV will pitch tonight.   The attention seeking superhero goes tomorrow.

Operation Take Back New York was a total failure according to this survey.

SNY made a Los Mets documentary.  It’s not what you think.

NOT LINKING: The Newspaper decided that the Nationals have a “deeper” rotation than the Mets based upon the weekend.  The is just silly.

SNY to air Los Mets documentary!

SNY TO PREMIERE ORIGINAL DOCUMENTARY

“LOS METS: BASEBALL IN THE DOMINICAN REPUBLIC” ON THURSDAY, APRIL 5TH

 

SNY Goes Behind the Scenes with Amed Rosario and Jeurys Familia on Their Journeys from the D.R. to the Major Leagues

 

NEW YORK, NY, April 2, 2018 – SNY, the official television home of the New York Mets, New York Jets and all things New York sports, will premiere an exclusive documentary entitled “Los Mets: Baseball in the Dominican Republic” on Thursday, April 5, 2018 at 6:30 p.m.

 

Hosted by SNY’s Mets on field reporter Steve Gelbs, “Los Mets: Baseball in the Dominican Republic,” is a 30-minute special highlighting the Mets history and presence in the Dominican Republic and the profound impact the sport of baseball has had on the country.

 

The feature includes Mets stars Amed Rosario and Jeurys Familia, who welcomed SNY’s camera crews into their homes to share their incredible family stories and how baseball changed their families’ lives. Familia also returns to his humble childhood home, sharing stories of his parent’s struggles and sacrifices to provide for Familia and his siblings.

 

Gelbs also brings viewers inside the Mets state of the art baseball academy in Boca Chica speaking with the different coaches and staff about the country’s passion for the sport of baseball and the opportunity the academy provides the players through sport and education.

 

Adding to the broadcast is Mets General Manager Sandy Alderson, discussing why he believes the D.R. is at the forefront of producing some of the best baseball players in the world.

 

The original documentary will re-air on SNY several times following its initial airing (check local listings).

Well, seems like we (me, you, mediagoon, fellow fans) have caught the eye of the fine folks in Flushing.  Over at the Van Hagar blog, the Red Rocker has a nice piece up about his guy who whispered in his ear about some of the concessions stuff that has been in conversation this weekend….

 I was also told that the concession fiasco has been looked at and they are addressing it with the “concessionaire”. Hot dogs should not have sold out, the lines shouldn’t have been that bad on Saturday, and there are some operational procedures(such as how to expedite the lines0 are going to be addressed. They were also not happy that any food(such as Niko’s peanuts were expired)

More to come.

Also let me be open and clear that I have been using a crowd photo from 2015 as the featured images on this and a few other recent posts.  I am not trying to trick anyone or misrepresent, it’s just a photo I have that suits the needs of social media linking.

Mets Monday April 2 game is snowed out. Details…

Wow, an old fashioned doubleheader!
