Lover of baseball and beer. Football and hockey, too, I suppose. Steve Cohen once trolled me about Dellin Betances, then took my advice and released him. 🫡

Baseball is without a doubt the dumbest sport. I love it. I will always love it. But extremely dumb sport.

[DevOnSports @DevOnSports]

@LTorbin but you’re right about Dallas/Arlington, San Fran/Santa Clara, etc

[DevOnSports @DevOnSports]

Big day for the Jets and Giants to be joined by the Bears in having a team location name that isn’t in the state you play in.

[DevOnSports @DevOnSports]

@LTorbin That’s fair. As a person who was born and raised in Jersey, it has just always annoyed me that both the Jets & Giants claim New York when both have played in NJ since before I was born. I was taking a shot at them more than anything

@homoguyy It’s a commercial for the 6,712th aliens come to earth movie, guyy. Relax.

[DevOnSports @DevOnSports]

Would have been better as shot by shot homage to Bernard Gilkey’s appearance in Men in Black

[SNY Mets @SNY_Mets]

Francisco Lindor is featured in a new commercial for Steven Spielberg’s upcoming film Disclosure Day

@metfan722 @Rob_Z_31 To me putting stock in regular season results as an indicator of which way a playoff series might go is kinda of like expecting a batter to get a hit because he has good numbers against the pitcher in a small sample size against him.

[DevOnSports @DevOnSports]

@Rob_Z_31 @metfan722 I hear ya. I have no dog in the NBA fight so my own personal drought will continue but I hope they do it for your sake.

[DevOnSports @DevOnSports]

Can’t see any reason to stretch Myers. He’s not good enough to be a shutdown 7 inning starter which is what you need.

You have plenty of guys who can give you like 4-5 mediocre innings with

Peralta
McLean
Tong
Scott
Manaea
Peterson
Senga coming back
And Wenninger on the cusp.

[Chelsea Janes @chelsea_janes]

One thing to remember: Myers told me after the Holmes injury he thinks he would need to go to the minors to fully stretch back into starting range. Perhaps this gives them a chance to do that, though that’s just informed speculation

[DevOnSports @DevOnSports]

Sometimes selling out for the walkoff homer works but watching every single hitter do it when you just need a baserunner/base hit gets kinda old

[DevOnSports @DevOnSports]

The Mets late inning approach to hitting outside of Benge continues to leave a ton to be desired.

Jakob Marsee sees the Mets on the schedule and decides he’s Griffey defensively and Tony Gwynn offensively.

[DevOnSports @DevOnSports]

@Mike_Nelson17 @Rob_Z_31 It depends on how, if at all, Olerud over Zeile changes their approach to roster building. Could say the same about Griffey trade that wasn’t. But we know the latter would’ve meant no Hampton. And watching Peralta ups & downs is a good reminder of how incredible 2000 Hampton was

[DevOnSports @DevOnSports]

@Rob_Z_31 @Mike_Nelson17 Delgado was here longer than Olerud though so you would have to go back to Keith for real stability

[DevOnSports @DevOnSports]

@Rob_Z_31 @Mike_Nelson17 This is Carlos Delgado erasure

[DevOnSports @DevOnSports]

Free idea @mlb: From Memorial Day to Labor Day there should be at least one day game every day of the week.

[DevOnSports @DevOnSports]

Luisangel Acuna is making Jarred Kelenic look like an improvement in Chicago and the Mets still might lose the Luis Robert trade.

We’ll always have that first week of the season when it looked like Soto fixed him. Soto went down and Luis fell off a cliff and now off the map.

[SNY Mets @SNY_Mets]

Carlos Mendoza provides updates on the injured Mets:

-Francisco Lindor has started running and doing baseball activities
-There's a "good chance" Jared Young will be activated tomorrow
-A.J. Minter will go through his throwing progression today, could be activated off of IL tomorrow or Wednesday
-No update on Luis Robert Jr.
-Jorge Polanco is going through a full workout today and will hopefully begin a rehab assignment this week
-Francisco Alvarez has resumed baseball activities and there's a chance he'll beat his 8-week timetable
-Kodai Senga is throwing a bullpen today and the goal is for him to make a rehab start on Thursday

[DevOnSports @DevOnSports]

I’m gonna preface this by saying I like Soto and I’m glad he’s a Met but it’s funny so.

Francisco Lindor: I broke my finger but I’m only gonna miss one game.

Juan Soto: Misses multiple games because

[DevOnSports @DevOnSports]

I’ll give him a chance but I’m getting a typical Mets lefty Peterson/Matz/Niese vibe from Thornton that I don’t love. Something about the way he keeps missing high and away to RHH

[DevOnSports @DevOnSports]

Hayden Senger really sucks at everything huh
