Without Montas, Mets’ rotation depth looks like this:
Sean Manaea
Kodai Senga
Clay Holmes
David Peterson
Paul Blackburn
Griffin Canning
Tylor Megill
Brandon Sproat is almost certainly not breaking camp in majors
And keep in mind the plan had been to use a 6-man rotation

In just two years, it was found that “Muslims” or “Islam” were mentioned more than 17,000 times on GB News – accounting for almost 50% of all such reporting by British news broadcasters.
The obsession would be laughable if it were not so serious.
Love Frankie Montas for the Mets
Above average fastball velocity, over 150IP last season, five pitch-mix, and a plus splitter
The ERA was ugly, but his K% jumped to 28.7% after some adjustments with the Brewers
Citi Field will also be kind to him
$17M AAV is cheap for a Starter, great move
One of the Mets’ biggest projects of the offseason — rebuilding the rotation — has commenced. And they are deploying a familiar strategy.

The cheek of this bloke in Glasgow trying to charge me £100 to deliver something (25 min drive) that I'm buying off him online, when a taxi each way would cost me ~£20
In which I argue quite crossly about the scientific and ethical folly of resurrecting the mammoth, which is both scientifically illiterate and a shameless display of giddy hubris. Grrrr! Also: elephant cock jokes.

Francisco Lindor 2024 season stats: .273 batting average 33 home runs 91 runs batted in .844 on-base plus slugging Pictured: Lindor runs toward first base. He wears a pinstriped Mets home uniform with orange and blue lettering.
Francisco Lindor brought a lot of smiles to @Mets fans this season 😁
Simply one of the worst people in the world. A man without qualities
We have a properly warped perception of how much various sectors contribute to the UK economy. The fishing industry, which is constantly in the news and to whom politicians of all rosettes regularly play, adds less to GDP than Games Workshop
Interrupted at work. A sign to log off early for the day, maybe?
Emma Raducanu pulls through 6-4, 6-4 against Viktoria Kuzmova, and that puts the Brits a win away from the Final in Malaga.
🇬🇧 1-0 🇸🇰

The episodes about the Darkness ended up being my least favourite, and the Dean/Amara interactions were just kind of uncomfortable and weird to watch and felt forced.
I'm hoping s12 pulls it back
Finished s11 of Supernatural, and that might've been the weakest season?
It's a shame - there are great characters & subplots, they upped the stakes & the scale, the Darkness/Amara could've been SO GOOD, but, like...making your main villain's whole arc be 'pining after Dean for no reason'? Fell flat
Right. Well. 🥺😢
just found out who won AL Rookie of the Year
Classic David Stearns project, can't wait to see how this turns out
I personally use each social for different things
Insta is a family, friends & colleagues thing for me. Twitter & Bluesky I use for sports, politics, TV, etc. - more for news, commentary & fan community
Threads never appealed because it carried everyone over from your Insta, so offered nothing new
A key passage in here re: Mets and Juan Soto:
“But one person suggested the Mets are ‘hopeful’ — and maybe even optimistic — about their chances to win easily the biggest prize of this free-agent class”
Discussing Bluesky migration in terms of liberal flight misses the simple fact that most people use social media for fun not influence and this platform, unlike X and cruddified Facebook, doesn’t feel like you’re wading through shit to reach your friends. It’s not that deep.
People of Bluesky! Let's get to know each other better. What is your favourite movie?

Ooooh, this is amazing. Thank you so much!
You are a star and a lifesaver, thank you very much!

They were part of the AI and robots who enslaved humanity — leading to a rebellion which resulted in AI and computers being banned
