A stark reminder that even as homicides drop in D.C., the proportion of killings that are related to domestic disputes has been rising: https://t.co/mq91nHSx5G

This is so sad and cringe lmao

[Absolutely Hammered @ah_pod]

if the Knicks win and you see Mets fans celebrating, make sure you remind them Jalen Brunson is a Yankees fan.

OG Anunoby reveals he grew up collecting baseball cards and is a big New York Mets fan 🔥

"He listed Carlos Delgado as one of his favorites to watch... He also liked José Reyes, Pedro Martínez and, essentially, the entire Mets roster of the late 2000s."

Whiplash on the timeline. The juxtaposition really is quite funny.

Francisco Alvarez: I have returned from tearing a ligament in 4 weeks.
Kodai Senga and Jorge Polanco: We may never be seen again.

If we can't get excited about a young player that's possibly part of the future having a five-hit game, please illuminate us on what fans are allowed to get excited about exactly.

Yesterday could prove to be the best game that Carson Benge will ever have. Before that, he had a .682 OPS and he has a negative defensive rating on FanGraphs.

Mets fans going bananas about a literal 4th OF.

[Chelsea Janes @chelsea_janes]

Telling my kids they painted the subway entrances blue and orange because the Mets knocked Mason Miller out of a game

Episode 276: The Mets are no longer in last place! Can Juan Soto and the incoming reinforcements provide life for the Mets’ offense in the month of June?

🚨According to the #WPBL official podcast, team names are coming!!🚨

Hopefully the New York team took our Meadowlarks suggestion. ☺️

[Chelsea Janes @chelsea_janes]

For those interested, which we all will be in December but can justify ignoring while everyone happily plays baseball here in May, the MLBPA made a proposal to the owners today. The owners did not accept it. I would expect this pattern to continue.

[Bradford William Davis @BWDBWDBWD]

Very grateful. @apodoftheirown interviewed me about my probe into MLB's Department of Investigations--the secretive group that handles player scandals from Wander Franco to Shohei Ohtani--and the DOI's apparently lax effort on domestic violence.

Particularly impactful are the audio recordings that are a part of Bradford’s reporting, which he goes through in the thread below. (CW: violent and threatening language)

[Bradford William Davis @BWDBWDBWD]

as many of you know, for [eyeblack] I've been examining how sports leagues handle allegations of violence against women.

I want to share a recording I obtained that, if true, is I believe very rare and very revealing

This an alleged call between MLB's EVP of Investigations Moira Weinberg—one of the highest ranked executives in Rob Manfred's commissioner's office—and a woman who accused a veteran baseball player she said choked her, slapped her, and locked her and their child out of their home.

I'll post the whole thing, then in a thread, walk through a few portions.

CW: intense and emotional discussion of domestic abuse

Episode 275: This week, we take a much-needed break from the Mets to talk to @BWDBWDBWD about his series on MLB’s domestic violence investigation process.
