"I belong in the Baseball Hall of Fame."
Bill Belichick is a genius...at aging ungracefully.
Juan Soto knows
That’s why they call him Juan Slamo

No, he still can be without needing to DFA him.
Luisangel Acuña and Justin Hagenman were called up by the Mets as the two extra players with the expanded roster.

It was at that moment she realized hosting a late night show was easier than she thought.
Proudly on @beehiiv.com
I'm sorry what
I suppose I can thank Atlanta for beating the Phillies *for once*, but I'd rather just be considered ungrateful.
If I'm being honest, it's A Day in the Life.
*Off the Wall
Remember when Francisco Lindor released Thriller?
Jon Heyman tweeted that Luisangel Acuña will get called up tomorrow.
Justin Verlander threw 121 pitches over five innings. Finished his day (presumably) with a strikeout.
I think they only have the organist on Sundays? Or Blippi brought his specific vibe.
Predictions for what the Mets will do with the expanded roster tomorrow: Luisangel Acuña and Jared Young up, Ronny Mauricio down Justin Hagenman and Richard Lovelady up, Brandon Waddell down If they were cool Jet!(t) Williams and Brandon Sproat the GOAT would get the calls.
Mhm
Francisco Alvarez went 1 for 5 with an infield single and three strikeouts for Triple-A Syracuse. He caught all nine innings.
The Mets are on the verge of going 11-17 during their highest-scoring month in team history.
Group photo!
Vientos started a bruhahaha and then walked away lol.
Fortunately we don't have a Highlander situation going on #sotoonsoto
Kodai Senga this season through June 12th: 1.59 ERA Since he returned from the IL (9 starts): 5.90 ERA
Brandon Waddell, who was just called up, hasn't pitched in five days, so he can pitch the remainder of this game.
Dear FCC, Jeff McNeil just fouled out to the third baseman. You know where I'm going with this.
Well he lied about Clemens not taking drugs so
My 2 year old nephew lives and dies by the clown man.
Just sitting here picturing kids in Blippi glasses booing Kodai Senga.
It's almost as if death is on his mind.
Contrary to my thinking, Sandy Alcantara will not in fact throw a no-hitter today.
Appearing on Eric Chavez's Insta shortly.

BUSTIN MAKES ME FEEL GOOD
You cheated?
Carlos Mendoza said that Francisco Alvarez will catch at least seven innings today for Triple-A Syracuse.
Brandon Waddell up, Chris Devenski down. Devenski has been sent down five times this season. In 12 games this year he has a 2.30 ERA.

Year One Ichiro
Did you do it, eh?
That's ilnsane and such
Might start a Bluesky account where I just skeet whenever I hear "Narco" during a sporting event ("Narco" just blared at the Idaho-Washington State game.)
He went 0 for 4 with three strikeouts. Still impressive though, considering he's down to eight working fingers.
The Reds lost, but now here come the Cardinals?
He’s doing with wrist soreness, dammit.
Brandon Sproat in Triple-A tonight: 7 IP, 3H, 0R, 2BB, 9K
Jet!(t) Williams was a late scratch from the Triple-A Syracuse lineup
David Peterson is wearing a Kobe Bryant glove today.
Gotta say, it feels a lot better to score five runs in the first compared to giving up five runs in the first.
They changed the BlueChew slogan apparently to "Swing for the fences with BlueChew", so there was no chuckling in the booth when Gare did the ad read.
It was on PIX11.
I Won't Back Down
"Hey, we're not students. We're the Ramones."
2001 I'm guessing
"Arch Manning? More like Archie Bell and the Drells!" - if Keith Hernandez was calling the Texas-Ohio State game
Seems pretty under to me #wink
Francisco Alvarez is DHing for Triple-A Syracuse today.
Chris Devenski up, Jose Castilló DFA'd.
Today's Mets lineup. McNeil back in there. Mullins in center.
Of course.

Oh Tom
Ooo that’s good
Jonah Tong is the second Met pitcher 22 years old or younger to go at least five innings and allow one or fewer earned runs in their debut. The first was Dwight Gooden.
What’s tomorrow’s newsletter headline? - Tongs Out - Jonah and the Whale of Runs - Home Cookin’ - King Tong
Cool beans!
Lucky Hod, they called him
Mendoza said Jonah Tong will stay in the rotation. The Mets are going to go with a six-man for now.
According to Greg Prince on Twitter, Luis Torrens was the first Mets position player to ever pitch in a win.
The team egging Jonah Tong to join the postgame celebration kick was reminiscent of Rudy being told to stay for one more play.
Buster’s busted.
Mendy was feeling lucky.
The answer was 10. Down to a 10-run lead and enough is enough.
Now Mauricio and Senger are chatting with Torrens while Stanek warms up. Mendoza takes the ball. The experiment is over.
Now the question is how much is too much before Carlos Mendoza ends the farce.
Take notes, Helsley!
Mets winning so hard they brought in Luis Torrens to close it out. My goodness.
lol Pete Alonso grounds into a double play against a position player. He’s gonna have to opt-in now.
This is fun I’m having fun
The Reds have lost.
Fortunately for you I do remember
The umpire is kinder than the defense for Jonah Tong tonight.
I take it back!
The bartender just asked me who’s on first. I said I wasn’t asking him who’s on first. Hilarity ensued.
Mike Hampton on the Rockies? Heh
Now I’m wondering which remotely decent pitcher infamously had a ton of run support.
*Fist pump*
We are spoiling Jonah Tong.
Possibly Stearns’ biggest accomplishment.
I agree I was just kidding around
No strikeouts yet. What a bum.
I’m worried Tong is in the dugout for so long he’ll forget how to pitch
Jonah Tong is not the next Jacob deGrom you know how
Anthems of a Seventeen Year Old Girl
54-pitch perfect game incoming
Come on man Rush! Rush is Canadian!
