IGT — CLE@NYM, 5/19
The Gardaí make their first visit to Citi Field under their new name, as their old teammate Carlos Carrasco comes off the Injured List to pitch agin' them. Cal Quantrill, son of Paul, goes for Cleveland. Cal, a rare second-generation Canadian MLB'er, has only appeared once before against the Mets, getting hit hard back in 2019.

Nice.
Mets will also be playing with an acute case of .500 Fever.

Cal is a righty pitcher, like his dad was.

Andres Giménez makes his Citi Field debut in front of fans.
Hope for the best. Expect the Mets.

Re: IGT — CLE@NYM, 5/19
I really should be prepared with a KTE for youse guys, but it's been a busy couple of months with the new job and I've barely had time to pay attention to the Mets, much less my adopted AL team from my adopted city.
Briefly, they're good at everything except hitting. Emanuel Clase has a good case for best major league closer without a torn patellar tendon. They all catch-n-throw pretty well. The rotation is above average.
Giménez is turning into the good field no hit middle infielder we always knew he could be. I believe Amed Rosario is on the active roster but warming the bench.

Looks like Rosario is playing regularly but killing them with a .280 OBP.
Gimenez had a much better year last year than this so far.
Also not quite as phenomenal this year is Steven Kwan.
Bieber who we see on Sunday is their best dude still.

All clubs this weekend are to be wearing green military caps and optional camo socks for Armed Forces Day.
This is something I wish MLB wouldn't do

Yeah, it's kinda forced and gross kinda sorta.
Much more fun when one team wants to rock rainbows and another wants to rock camo, and still another wants to wear autism ribbons. Whether it's a cause I believe in or not, it certainly doesn't feel meaningfully endorsed when that endorsement is universal and compulsory.

Re: IGT — CLE@NYM, 5/19
i think it would be a lot cooler if each team got to wear a uniform in the colors of one of the various armed services. like, i'd love to be seeing the coast guard mets play the space force guardians. how fucking cool would that be?Johnny Lunchbucket wrote: ↑Fri May 19, 2023 12:42 pm All clubs this weekend are to be wearing green military caps and optional camo socks for Armed Forces Day.

on the other hand, i'm of a mind to generally agree with the anti-military-camo uniforms. i mean, it's certainly fine and proper to support the troops and blah blah blah, but this always tends to veer just a little too close to flag-fucking.

Flag fucking and glorifying guns
Re: IGT — CLE@NYM, 5/19
If I was commish, there'd be no more camo, no more pink and no more shoes
that glow in the dark nor match your uniform.
I'll never be commish...

I'm ok with caps in the colors of the branch of the service of the team's choice.
But I'd stop it there.

After Senga's and Megill's outings, wary that Carrasco is going to be a
buzz kill with his 8.5x ERA. But I'm never wrong sometimes.

Re: IGT — CLE@NYM, 5/19
Josh Walker goes down to make room for Carrasco.
Michael Perez optioned to make room for Sanchez, as Locastro does something to his thumb diving into a base and goes on the 60-day.

Re: IGT — CLE@NYM, 5/19
That's a crap turn of events for Locastro. I'm pretty sure that he was still officially on a rehab assignment. Does his 60-day period get backdated to his original IL designation?

Re: IGT — CLE@NYM, 5/19
Not a big fan of patches logos and such
Gimenez made the all star team last season
I will still take Lindor over the traded guys
Of bigger concern is which Carrasco will show up. Hopefully the one that can go at least three innings
