What Really Happened in the Lindor Raccoon Mets Tunnel

Scully….

Yes Mulder I saw it. I don’t believe it either.

Don’t believe what Scully?   Lindor saw a rat.

You don’t think there was a fight in the tunnel, Mulder?

Of course not.  Lindor said as much, Scully.   Let’s watch it again for the people reading at home.

Yes Mulder, it’s pretty obvious what happened.

That’s right Scully. Lindor thought he saw a raccoon. And then as Conforto and Dom Smith returned to the dugout they too were like OMG IS THAT A RACCOON and they raced down the tunnel to check it out, as you can see in this video.  Conforto and Smith are known raccoon fans and never miss a chance to see one.

Mulder, is that what you really think?

Of course, Scully.  That’s the story.  Lindor saw a raccoon and then Conforto and Dom were also like wow a raccoon, and then Jeff calmly explained it was a rat.  When the Mets took the field, Jeff and Francisco looked stoic because they were thinking about how there are rats in the stadium, which seems to be a new issue since Steve Cohen took over, we never had rats under the Wilpons, but that’s a topic for another day.   Then an inning later Jeff and Francisco were patting each other on the back because they are now Rat Friends.

I see Mulder.  Are you sure you believe this?

Of course I do Scully.  Besides, SNY employs a fourth guy to help Gary, Keith and Ron during the broadcasts ,  His job is to walk around the stadium and report on things.  Had there been an incident other than a raccoon size rat he would have covered it.  Otherwise his position is a complete waste of everyone’s time and resources and I don’t think anyone thinks that.

I see Mulder.  So the truth is out there?

That’s right Scully.  We all have the truth.  There was a raccoon sized rat that Lindor, Conforto and Dom all found cool….and that darkness under McNeil’s eye was just the lighting.  I am sure Pete Alonso will make a big joke out of this today and possibly get someone fired again.

Matt Harvey faced the Red Sox. How did he do? You’ll look.

It was Matt Harvey’s final tune-up before Wednesday’s big exciting return to Citi Field to face the Mets….but first, he had to take on the Red Sox.  Matt could have been on the Red Sox but you guys didn’t want to trade him for Mookie Betts (oops) and you know the rest…

And it was a nice easy 1-2-3 for TDK in the first.  Sit down son!

 

In the second…a pesky double!

 

Matt gets out of the inning, but he threw a LOT of pitches and is at mid-40s through two….and The Real Deal looks Real Tired.

In the third, seriously this is the BEST PITCH MATT HAS THROWN SINCE LEAVING QUEENS….sit down son.

A single and then a hit batsman.

The Orioles have studied my posts and know the danger is lurking…so they send out the pitching coach.

Will Matt melt down?  Not in 2021!  Sit down son!

And it’s on to the 4th with a pitch count of 67.

A runner reaches first on an error by the pitcher (hmmm) and makes his way to third and look at this beauty of a screen grab!

That’s gonna make it 1-0 Red Sox.  Then Matt let two guys get on and looks kind of rattled.  I swear on everything that as the Orioles manager was reading MetsPolice on his iPad I was thinking that he should get Matt out NOW.

But he did not.  And you have seen this movie before….

The Red Sox announcer said this pitch had lights on it.   And……

And for the Orioles, that’s the Matt Harvey experience.  And for Matt, there goes any chance of picking up at Fells Point tonight.

He’s at 86 pitches through 4 and has looked tired since the second.  The Orioles would be insane to bring him back out.

Are the Orioles insane?  They are not.

4 innings, 4 runs, ALL UNEARNED BECAUSE SOME IDIOT MADE AN ERROR, a walk and three strikeouts.

But don’t worry…on Wednesday….The Dark Knight Returns TO CITI FIELD.  Yep!  Orioles at Mets, Wednesday day game.  Should be fun!

Mets – Diamondbacks game notes for May 7th

The Mets are back to .500 and are looking to own a winning record for the first time since they were 9-8 on April 25…The team has won two straight after dropping two straight…The Mets begin a five- game, six-day homestand against the stupidly named Diamondbacks (three games) and Matt Harvey’s Orioles (two games).

Since the start of 2019, Smith has played 164 games and owns a .286/.346/.525 slash line with 68 runs, 35 doubles, a triple, 23 home runs, 77 RBI, 36 walks and an .871 OPS…Over his last seven games, Smith is 8-26 with three runs, two doubles, three RBI, two walks and a .357 OBP.  And yet he wasn’t allowed to play on Opening Day.

 

In coordination with the talented chefs at Citi Field, Pete Alonso has created a unique new item available for purchase, the Polar Burger… The new menu item features Pat LaFrieda’s black truffle blended burger patty, maple-spiced caramelized onions, smoked Gouda cheese, lettuce, tomato and claw sauce on a baked brioche bun…In addition, he created Arctic Onions – “Polar spiced” shaved Vedalia onions with Claw sauce for dipping…The items are available for purchase starting this weekend near section 102, down the right field foul pole.   Pete is 54th in MLB in home runs, tied with Albert Pujols with 5.

THIS DAY IN METS HISTORY: On this day in 2016, Bartolo Colón at age of 42 became the oldest player in the history of MLB to hit his first career homer…so unoriginal SNY is gonna beat this to death tonight.  I can hear Gelbs being boring already.  Colón hit a two- run shot in the second inning as the Mets defeated the Padres, 6-3, in San Diego…. He earned the win, allowing all three runs on six hits with a walk and five strikeouts in 6.2 innings of work…The team collected nine hits in the win, including home runs from Yoenis Céspedes and David Wright…For cool photos and interactive history information on the Mets, please visit the Mets Virtual Vault at metsheritage.com.

Pete’s batting average is looking snazzy.  Too bad you millennials decided you like OPS.  Pete’s OPS is not as snazzy.

Pete Alonso | INF | .280, 5 HR, 17 RBI, 0 SB

The Mets will play tonight without any manager, coaches or front office because Steve Cohen fired everyone after finding out they let JDG goof around at SS in the pre-game.

Why is deGrom screwing around at SS? Steve, FIRE EVERYONE.

Steve.  Fire everyone.  Sandy.  Z. Michael Scott.  The entire major league staff.  Let JDG be the player-manager tonight.  The boys already have a lineup and they know what to do.  But seriously, this is UNACCEPTABLE.   Why is Jacob messing around at SS after missing a start with a lat injury, and don’t forget asked for extra rest two days in a row.

Steve this is your money they are messing with.  Fire them all.  Now.

Mets to recognize two honorary bat girls.

METS TO RECOGNIZE TWO “HONORARY BAT GIRLS” IN 2021

STEPHANIE SCHMIDT AND JACKIE BARBER WILL BE HONORED SUNDAY, MAY 9 AT CITI FIELD

FLUSHING, N.Y., May 6, 2021 – The New York Mets today announced Stephanie Schmidt and Jackie Barber as the two Honorary Bat Girls who will represent the team in support of MLB’s annual “Honorary Bat Girl” initiative, an effort commemorated each Mother’s Day to highlight extraordinary efforts to support the fight against breast cancer. Schmidt and Barber, each of whom have demonstrated extraordinary strength in her battle against the disease, will be recognized at Citi Field on Mother’s Day, Sunday, May 9th.

Stephanie Schmidt is a NICU nurse at Cohen Children’s Medical Center and was diagnosed with breast cancer in September of 2020 at the age of 28 while 11 weeks pregnant. She gave birth to her son Wesley at only 35 weeks in the same NICU where she has spent the last four years working. Stephanie is currently receiving 12 weeks of chemotherapy infusions while raising her two young sons Wesley and Lucas. 

Jackie Barber was a nurse at North Shore University Hospital when she was diagnosed with breast cancer. She received chemotherapy, radiation and surgery all while taking care of her five-year-old son with autism. After successful treatment, Jackie decided she wanted to support women going through a similar journey and is now a breast cancer nurse navigator, helping patients with treatment recommendations and advocating for their needs.

Stephanie and Jackie will be joined on Sunday by Mets’ catcher James McCann’s wife, Jessica. The McCanns are passionate about giving back to nurses and caretakers like Stephanie and Jackie as their two sons were born prematurely and spent time in the NICU. James and Jessica, along with the Mets, are honored to recognize these two incredibly strong women on Mother’s Day and celebrate their strength and resiliency.

As has been tradition since 2006, players will swing pink bats and sport pink wristbands in commemoration of the “Going To Bat Against Breast Cancer” initiative, which is intended to raise awareness and funds, through donations and auction proceeds, to support efforts to address breast cancer. In recognition of this effort on Mother’s Day, players also will wear specially designed New Era caps highlighted by a pink crown and team color brim, while Club uniforms will feature the MLB breast cancer awareness logo, adorned with the symbolic pink ribbon, on the left chest. A matching pair of pink socks made by Stance is optional for every player.
