Spring is around the corner. We haven’t left winter behind just yet, but we have started to play games.
A couple weeks of Mets related tweets and the regular season will be upon us. Let’s get into it.

Luis Avilan continues to impress this spring:
1.2 IP, H, 0 R, 0 BB, 4 SO
He’s now tossed 4.2 scoreless innings with no walks and six strikeouts this spring.
Have to think if he continues to post strong numbers like this that he’s a lock for the pen. #Mets

Wishing Eloy the best of luck as he goes to AAA to work on…defense? baserunning? creating excess value for a $1.5 billion franchise that hasn’t made the playoffs in a decade? bunting? https://t.co/qJsFq6FpFC

The 3 batter rule was made by a bunch of dumbasses in the mlb league office who think people who don’t care about baseball at all will start watching it because now instead of games lasting 3:10 they last 3:06

Here’s what the Mets will do with DeGrom:
– Upset him with petty complaints
– Claim that he is difficult to deal with.
– Lowball him
Then,
Trade him to Cincinnati for Pat Zachry, Steve Henderson, Doug Flynn, & Dan Norman.Oh, wait, that was Joan Payson trading Tom Terrific.Ugh!

Jeff McNeil is hitting .363/.385/.690 this spring with 5 HR in jut 55 AB. He’s doing it with just a .333 BABIP. He’s for real.
It looks like the Mets have spent their limited FA cash to sign a guy to block an emerging star for the 3rd year in a row (Conforto, Nimmo, McNeil)
— Good Fundies Brian (@OmarMinayaFan) March 25, 2019
5 years ago, DeGrom was getting ready to start his season in AAA as a 25 year old fringe prospect who would probably have to go to the bullpen to stick in the majors. Today, he has a 2.67 ERA in 140 starts, 1000Ks, a ROY, a Cy Young, And a 137mil contract extension. Fuck yeah man
