Seems the Players Association has a Heart and Hustle Award and Kevin Pillar won. That’s nice. Details here.

Meanwhile, the Cubs voted for Javy Baez.

This esteemed award honors active players who demonstrate a passion for the game of baseball and best embody the values, spirit and traditions of the game. The Heart and Hustle Award is also the only award in Major League Baseball that is voted on by former players. Voting is conducted prior to All-Star break.

Some people are asking me if it is time for a Rojas Watch Watch.

To catch up the newbies….education time….

A Rojas Watch would be when the sharks are swimming and it seems possible the manager is about to be fired.  We are definitely not there.

A Rojas Watch Watch watches to see what others are saying about a possible Rojas Watch.  A hypothetical example would be if say the New York Post wrote an article saying something like “if the Mets don’t…..”    We are not there yet, but we could see one soon.

The general sense I am getting is that fans don’t feel the Mets have the horses they need and that they’ve been fortunate the division sucks,

A Rojas Watch Watch Watch is where we are now.  That’s when I am keeping an eye out to see if anyone writes an article.  Basically Defcon-3.

Up until this morning we were not under any sort of Watch-level, but due to what I am seeing in my feed and inbox I am declaring a Rojas Watch Watch Watch.

You guys get so mad when I point out Gary’s flaws, the main one is that most nights he chooses to be John Sterling.

But Gary DOES have more in him.  I’d like to see him use it more, as he did on this fantastic home run call.  I get that not every HR is a BIG HR, but not every home run is to the track and to the wall either.

METS ANNOUNCE 2021 DRAFT SIGNINGS
