ICYMI here’s my take on the Mets dance team

From her name and photo, Charlotte appears to be a Yankees fan…

And Steve responded to this.  Is he on twitter searching for what people are saying about his Dance Team.   Hi Steve!

My theory here is that Steve doesn’t care about the dance team, but it’s a project that someone else is working on, and Steve is being protective of someone else.

Anyway, if Steve can’t take an innocuous line from a Yankees fan, he’s in for one heck of a ride this summer with his first time owning a bad baseball team without that new car smell.

Exciting Mets Baseball..

Yesterday, the Mets fell to the St. Louis Cardinals, 3-2, in Jupiter. Right-handed pitcher Luis Severino made his first Grapefruit League start and threw 2.0 hitless innings. Infielder Mark Vientos launched an opposite-field solo home run in the second to put the Mets on the board. Minor league right-handed pitcher Blade Tidwell allowed three runs over 1.2 innings and tallied four strikeouts, including Jordan Walker, Nolan Gorman, Nolan Arenado, and Matt Carpenter. Catcher Tomás Nido recorded an RBI single in the eighth. Right-handed pitchers Sean Reid-Foley, Eric Orze, and Cam Robinson each threw 1.0 scoreless inning in relief.

ARMS APLENTY: Through seven games this spring, Mets pitchers have posted a 2.36 ERA (16 ER/61.0 IP), the best mark in the majors. The staff’s 1.18 WHIP is the third-lowest in the majors, while their .219 opponent batting average is the fourth-lowest mark. Mets starting pitchers have pitched to a 2.13 ERA (3 ER/12.2 IP), the second-best mark in Grapefruit League play and the sixth-best mark in the majors. Mets relievers have pitched to a 2.42 ERA (13 ER/48.1 IP), the lowest mark in the majors.

ROCCO’S UNCLE: Over his last three games, outfielder Trayce Thompson has reached base safely in six of his eight plate appearances. On February 26 at Washington, Thompson went 2-3 with a grand slam and an RBI single. Two days later, Thompson went 2-2 with a double and a home run vs. St. Louis. Yesterday at St. Louis, Thompson went 0-1 with two walks.

VS. MIAMI: Today the Mets will play their first of seven Grapefruit League games against Miami. Last season, the Mets went 9-4 against the Marlins, their best record against a division foe. Mets pitchers posted a 2.51 ERA (32 ER/114.2 IP) against Miami last season, their second-lowest mark against a single opponent behind only Arizona (2.14). This season, the Mets take on the Marlins at Citi Field from June 11-13 and August 16-18. New York will play at loanDepot Park from May 17-19 and from July 19-22.

These are all nice.  I might have to send @mediagoon to the MLB Shop, but he’s not gonna be happy when he sees wha they cost.   Rhymes with Mixty Live.

My friends, the Mets, want you to know about this. I hope it’s interesting because I am so busy today I don’t even have time to read it.  Watch, this will be the time the Mets decide to lose their minds and start an insurrection or something.  Wait – is Mike in camp?  Uh oh.

 

NEW YORK METS EXPAND FUN AT BAT PROGRAM IN PARTNERSHIP WITH MAJOR LEAGUE BASEBALL AND USA BASEBALL

 

The Mets are seeking 150 new school partners to help grow the game of baseball for youth in the community.

 

FLUSHING, N.Y., February 29, 2024 – The New York Mets, in partnership with Major League Baseball and USA Baseball, are expanding the Fun At Bat program in 2024. The Mets are seeking 150 new school partners across New York City and the Tri-State area, which would total over 150,000 youth reached since launching the program in September 2022.

The Amazin’ Mets Foundation supported the Fun At Bat program with a $29,000 grant to USA Baseball to fund the new 150 participating schools.

Fun At Bat brings young athletes a unique baseball and softball experience by exposing students to an introductory level of the game including fielding, throwing and batting. Developed by USA Baseball, the program also places an emphasis on character development, functional movement, literacy, active play and fun.

This free program is available to all schools throughout the New York City and Tri-State area for grades K-5. Participating schools will receive quality equipment, USA Baseball Championship Principle books, and other resources. Physical education teachers will also have access to free online courses, which assist in teaching the fundamentals of the program.

All qualifying K-5 school administrators and physical education teachers can learn more and apply for Fun At Bat by visitingMets.com/FunAtBat. Schools that have previously received the program prior to 2022 are eligible to re-apply.
