Marcus Stroman is confident

"I know that when I'm at a good place there mentally I know that I'm pretty much unstoppable," Stroman said Thursday at Mets camp. "So that's kinda the biggest thing that I'm always focusing on. ... To be honest with you, my confidence never wavers, ever. I think I'm the best on the field whenever I'm out there always. That's how I was raised from my father and that's how I'll continue to be. Confidence stays the same no matter what." And Stroman thinks that confidence will lead to dominance. "I'm excited for this year. I think I should be good, really good," Stroman said. "I think I should be dominant. I put in a lot of work in the offseason and my stuff's moving all over the place. I'm excited to go out and compete with the team we have, which is pretty incredible." I like this. I mean, he has to back it up. But I like a guy coming in with some New York swagger and energy. It's not trash talking or putting down anyone else. He's fired up. Honestly, if some of this could rub off on Matz, it would be a good thing.

I kinda love that we have two legit Long Island Guys in the rotation. Take back the Island, Mets!

Or shoes, at least. If Marcus snaps off a curve, that could cost you two toes. We didn't get to a 2020 Vision thread for Stro'.

I suspended 2020 Visions because they had become so popular here that we'd all catch coronavirus just reading and replying to them.

Stro tweets footage from the same block of ex-Met José Bautista continuing his training in an attempt to come back as a two-way player. [TWEET]https://twitter.com/STR0/status/1247594661637697536[/TWEET]

That would be cool. Can see him being an emotional late-inning guy for a stretch run

It would be cool. But then again position players who think they can pitch includes about 90% of them. The ones who actually can includes about .09% of them.

Despite stupid new rules about declaring guys to be batters or pitchers on the roster, I think this might be a good year for novelty acts.
