Too bad this game isn't televised. Basically the whole starting team minus Nimmo was has been red hot. Should be fun!

Gerrit Cole said the new 2021 baseballs already are in use and he’s noticed more consistency with the seams and construction overall. Didn’t speak to the bounciness, but thinks the feel is much better. #Yankees
@timbhealey
Upcoming Mets starting pitchers:
* Sunday vs. Marlins: Marcus Stroman
* Monday @ Nationals: Jordan Yamamoto
* Tuesday vs. Cardinals: Taijuan Walker (!)
That will be Taijuan Walker's exhibition debut with the Mets.
He's just insane.
7 inning double headers
10th inning starts with runner on 2nd base

Glad about the DH, don’t really care for the other changes.
Kid runs like Dykstra.

Speaking for myself....I'd rather watch a professional hitter take those plate appearances. If you love the bunt play....I'm sure your new 9th place hitter is better at it than your pitcher.
Just glorious.

Pete Crow booking right out of the box !! He's around first base before the ball lands.......Giddy up.
So it is a stalemate and the DH cannot ge instituted with players approval
The DH thus appears to be a dead letter but it has not been officially ruled out
At least that’s my understanding. Maybe somebody who is following it more closely has more up to date info
I like the 3 batter minimum. Teams can't load up their bullpen with specialists and it forces teams to be strategic with their pitching decisions and does speed up the game. Now if only they would stop turning the regular season into Spring Training with replacing a pitcher after he has gone through the order twice that would be appreciated.
