The Mets Police

Media Goon probably will only get one of these as it’s kinda stupid.

Real Mets fans like me have their original (I am actually wearing it this morning), but you my friend will be exposed by the manufacturers logo on the side.  Plus, never pay $39 for a cap….but if you must, I will enjoy my Affiliate Commission! you m

My friends the Mets sent me this groovy press release. It is unclear to me if the new safety rules include letting clearly injured pitchers make two starts and then having them throw 102 to teenagers. Will update as I learn more!

FLUSHING, N.Y., May 21, 2021 – The New York Mets today announced updated health and safety regulations for fans at Citi Field that will take effect beginning with the team’s next homestand, starting on Monday, May 24. Starting that day, fans will no longer be required to show proof of a negative COVID-19 test to enter Citi Field. Additionally, the Mets will open 21 seating sections to fully vaccinated fans that will be free of social-distancing rules. Those 21 sections will hold a total of 3,870 fans, bringing the total capacity at Citi Field to 12,222 fans.

Tickets in fully vaccinated fan sections are available for purchase now at Mets.com/VaccinatedSections. These sections are reserved for fans ages 16 and older who are at least 14 days removed from their final dose of any of the three COVID-19 vaccines (Pfizer, Moderna, Johnson& Johnson). While seated in fully vaccinated sections, fans will not be required to wear a mask. Face coverings are still required outside of fully vaccinated sections. All fans with seats in a fully-vaccinated section must enter the ballpark through the Bullpen Gate and are responsible for providing proof of vaccination.

The Mets are offering vouchers, good for two tickets to a future Mets game (blackout dates apply), to the first 250 fans who receive either dose of the Pfizer COVID-19 vaccine at Citi Field each day during the team’s next two homestands (May 24-30 and June 11-17). Fans may instead choose to receive a complimentary ticket to the game on the same day they receive the vaccine, based on availability.

Fans are encouraged to visit Mets.com/SafeAtCiti for the latest health and safety regulations in effect at Citi Field throughout the 2021 season.

As first reported by @metspolice (go ahead and check. FIRST!)  INF Pete Alonso has been placed on the 10-Day IL, retroactive to May 19, with a right hand sprain.

Now this is interesting because now no matter what Pete does this year people will say “oh he was hurt….” just like last year didn’t count because of the pandemic.  Hopefully the Mets let Dom play some 1B and stop the madness.

When Pete wakes up on May 29th he will have 6 home runs.

RHP Tommy Hunter has been placed on the 10-Day IL, retroactive to May 19, with lower back pain.

 It is a big day for @mediagoon who gets TWO new jerseys out of this!

RHP Yennsy Díaz has been recalled from Triple-A Syracuse…He will wear #64

INF Brandon Drury has been selected from Triple-A Syracuse…He will wear #35

RHP Sam McWilliams has been reinstated from the Minor League IL.

LHP Daniel Zamora has been designated for assignment.

This will sound like shtick but the Mets are not sure if deGrom will pitch in Colorado or if he will make a rehab start again.  WHAT?   deGrom, who is totally healthy, may make another rehab start because he clearly showed last night he needs to work on his stuff. He’s fine. There was nothing stupid about letting him throw 102 to teenagers.
