Can't say I was sorry about Scherzer getting bombed yesterday. He hasn't pitched badly in the past two years, but his pattern of failing in big games in those years seems to have survived his move to Texas. Verlander was also infinitely classier about leaving the Mets than Scherzer was, so it was easy to root for him yesterday. Now, all that has to happen is for little bro Acuna to turn out to be as good as big bro Acuna. That's not too much to ask for, is it?
Reports are that the Mets are hiring David Stearns as President of Baseball Operations. Eppler will report to him. https://www.espn.com/mlb/story/_/id...g-david-stearns-president-baseball-operations
Scherzer has a teres major strain (in case you're like me, you need to look at this to know what that is: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Teres_major_muscle), and is out for the season, and most likely the postseason. https://www.mlbtraderumors.com/2023...turn-this-year-due-to-teres-major-strain.html
https://x.com/SNYtv/status/1704880020768878988?s=20 Tommy Pham called out his Mets teammates for being the "least-hardest working group of position players I've ever played with" He added that he had a lot of respect for the work ethics of Francisco Lindor, Pete Alonso, and Brandon Nimmo
That's quite a shot at Jeff McNeil. And at the coaching staff in general, and Buck Showalter in particular.
