In
relation to St. Patrick’s Day and the Mets I found this note from Amazing Avenue
2013: Being St. Patrick's Day, let's salute the players with McNames
that have worked their way into the Mets record books. That includes some
well-known men like Kevin McReynolds…Tug McGraw…Roy McMillan.

Post: Jacob deGrom is making 100 mph his Mets norm. In regards to Jacob’s
start on Tuesday Mike Puma noted: “Overall, he threw 11 pitches that registered
at least 100 mph on the stadium scoreboard. He topped out at 101 on a fastball
to Bregman in the first inning. In that inning, eight of deGrom’s 11 fastballs
reached 100 mph.”
Mets.Com:
After latest stellar start, deGrom ready to hit. “The Mets intend to have
deGrom become their first pitcher to hit in roughly a year during his next
outing, Sunday against the Nationals…’I guess I’m excited to hit,’ deGrom said
laughing. ‘I’d probably be more excited if I had a little practice with it, so
I’d better get in the cage this week.’”
Newsday:
Mets may shield Jacob deGrom from Nationals. “On Sunday, deGrom indeed will
face Washington, manager Luis Rojas said. That is the day the Mets plan to
start letting their pitchers hit in games. But Rojas left the door open for
deGrom to get his final spring-training tune-up in an intrasquad scrimmage
instead of facing the Nationals on March 26, a night game at Clover Park…’I
feel like if we can get the work done and not give them an extra look, then it
only benefits the pitcher,’ deGrom said. ‘The more looks a batter has against you,
the hitter has seen you more, it’s a positive for them, not necessarily for
me.’"
Mike
Vaccaro NY Post: Francisco Lindor talking baseball makes us crave Opening Day
even more. “He is an old-school player with an old soul, one who admires
players he watched when he was a kid, and players from before he was born whom
he’s heard about. He says it was a ‘better-rounded’ game then. ‘It was a
better-played game then,’ he said.”

Here is yesterday's Spring Training Scoreboard.
Right-hander Chasen Bradford and Atlanta are in agreement on a minor league deal, sources tell ESPN. Bradford pitched for Mets and Mariners from 2017-19 and missed last season after Tommy John surgery. Another arm that helps Atlanta with something all teams covet: pitching depth.

Shohei Ohtani HR makes one wonder how exactly they de-juiced the baseball...he crushed it, as did Lindor.
Sign Lindor already.
Rosario in CF is another sign that his whole is less than the sum of his parts.
Mets' 26 man roster players are looking dangerous, by and large.
I'm Irish and thankfully have some green bills in my wallet.
