I'd like to hang in with him for one more year with a new hitting coach. He showed good power in 2024 and is a potential DH, power bat off the bench and while not a good defender right now, can play first & third. One more year.

I'd love to see this happen. Fonzie believes in patience at the plate and working the count. I've been calling for him to be our hitting coach. But I don't know Joe Pantorno so I honestly don't know if he's a credible source. Hopefully someone can enlighten me! #MetsSky #LGM

Injury prone and very particular training, recovery and pitching requirements, i.e. the need for the six-man rotation. Is it possible that the front office is just warn out trying to meet these specific requirements?

@katiestereo.bsky.social Following you. Sorry, I always thought I did. #LGM

I'm old. I know old. You don't qualify. ๐Ÿ˜‚

Hell, Chris should get a whole garden for his creation. Using Bluesky is so much easier for me, living on the feed. I read everything from the feed, and very limited content off the feed.

Alonso also does not have the Qualifying Offer tag, making it easier for other teams to sign him without giving compensation.

When I left NY in 2012, without Jets games here in Delaware TV, I sort of fell away from football. I was a casual fan. For me, it's always been baseball.

Ah OK. I heard it wrong. Thanks Matthew. Was that a Rich Kotite team? Those were tough teams to watch.

05.10.2025 19:11 โ€” ๐Ÿ‘ 1    ๐Ÿ” 0    ๐Ÿ’ฌ 1    ๐Ÿ“Œ 0

Well, we tripled it. Not bad in a day.

That would be amazing.

I'd say you absolutely do!

For those looking to like the #MetsSky feed (which may help us in some way some day), clink on this link - then click on the three dots and "like".

I'll bet it's that truncated link. Let me pist a real one (shortly). Thanks Joe.

True. Thanks for the feedback. A couple of us put up some instructions this morning. I'm going to add a "how to" to the resource page. I plan to do some off-season renovations anyway so I'll include that in my work.

I wish I had noticed it earlier. It was 3am, insomnia was in full force, and I decided to wander around Bluesky, just because. Glad I did.

LOL ... nope, that's it. @itschrisram.bsky.social created it for us before the season starts, as many of us were migrating from "that other place" with the one letter name so that the owner of the site would be able to read it.

It's a good point and we should mention it a little more often. Thanks Ari. In case you missed it, it's also listed on our #MetsSky resource page at the top of my profile. The link is www.qflea.com/LGM.html

You too Ivonne, and thanks.

It's a great question, because it's not obvious. Click here:

Go to the little three dots, click and then like.

You can also pin it if you wish. I've done that to make it easier to read everyone who posts to the feed.

Absolutely. As spring training gets started, we can try to find all the new Bluesky #Mets fans to let them know their not alone.

For me, he's just a personal disappointment. I was a fan in his early days at Newsday. He wrote a nice article about something Mets-related that I was doing. Now, the only time he might have something to say is when Scott Boras wants to a rumor to get out there. Wasted talent.

That's a lot for one pitcher, but we've done it before. I think it took us five players (mostly pitchers) to get Frank Viola back in the late 80's, including Rick Aguilar.

Ahhh yes, there are always possibilities! Pittsburgh would want quite a bounty for him. They've got Nick Gonzalez at 2B, but maybe they'd like a veteran presence? We could throw Jeff McNeil into a package. Pittsburgh does have a few golf courses.
