@AccuScore what the absolute hell is this AI-generated garbage

@hesilf big league chew and stardust

@JonAtTheBar you're invited to celebrate two mets legs while they're still healthy

[Eric Garment @EricGarment]

@TeamThirstTrap open numbers after 39:
40
46 (as of today)
48 (no)
52
53

so really, not many "choice" numbers to pick from. no knock against senger, but i'm surprised he was able to take 6 when he gave up 30 for weaver.

[Eric Garment @EricGarment]

@TeamThirstTrap 8 would've been fine. they should've just left it alone.

now, though, not a lot of options. after 20, the next available number is 39.

@henrytcasey That is the plan - I’ll dm ya on the day if that’s cool

@searlebaseball mets fanbase looking at jorge polanco though

[Eric Garment @EricGarment]

@Ben_Yoel we have landed on the stupidest outcome, which is that he's gonna have something different tomorrow

either have guardrails up to make sure you don't do a kelvin torve or just let him keep it

[Eric Garment @EricGarment]

@Metsochist4Life either have guardrails up to not let this happen or let him keep it

[bevin @Kevchesterr]

not really complaining yet but outside feels like we in 14th st union sq station

@Metsomania_Pod Willie Mays' number being retired is in honor of his contribution to National League baseball in New York and an honoring of Joan Payson's promise. Can't compare that.

[Eric Garment @EricGarment]

@Metsomania_Pod Carter still didn't have the stats as a Met to justify retiring his number, IMO. You can be a club icon without having your number retired. Mookie Wilson is a Mets icon, too, and you don't see people stumping for #1 to be retired for him.

@ryankelly @Ben_Yoel i have been saying for many years that 8 should be in rotation so i have no issue with it but boy it is gonna spark some conversation

[Eric Garment @EricGarment]

@Ben_Yoel game notes has it, that's about as official as you can get

[Eric Garment @EricGarment]

@Ben_Yoel i'm sitting on this one big time, would be a major development. i personally have been beating the drum of "put it in rotation" but i know there's gonna be a lot of rabbles roused if it's accurate

[Eric Garment @EricGarment]

@Ben_Yoel @NumbersMLB i see it

i wanna see the team or a beat say it (no disrespect) because of the implication here

[Eric Garment @EricGarment]

@AnthonyDiComo Morabito was on the 40, no spot was needed
