Sources: Mets right-handed pitcher Bryce Montes de Oca had Tommy John surgery.

This is the second TJS for the 26-year-old that also had it back in 2013 when he was in High School.
Ugh..

Very disappointing..

His stuff looked absolutely incredible early this spring...

On one hand RP often have shorter rehab periods, on the other hand this will be his second TJ surgery. This is career threatening.

Cyclones should win a lot of games this season. Solid prospect core and very strong BP.
crazy that opening day is here  
Eric on Li : 3/30/2023 10:46 am : link
alcantara is a beast but facing him opening day hopefully at least he's on some kind of pitch count.

assume we'll get the regular lineup?

nimmo
marte
lindor
alonso
mcneil
escobar
vogey
canha
narvaez
geez, that was quick on Montes de Oca  
KDavies : 3/30/2023 10:48 am : link
he will be nearly 28 by this time next year
rotation should be very interesting  
KDavies : 3/30/2023 10:49 am : link
with Peterson between Scherzer and Verlander. Though it was planned around Verlander pitching the home opener, it might work to the Mets favor having Peterson between those two.

Should be going Sunday. Looking forward to seeing Senga's debut.
pitching matchups for the series  
KDavies : 3/30/2023 10:52 am : link
tonight: Scherzer vs. Alcantara
Friday: Peterson vs. Luzardo
Saturday: Verlander vs. Cabrera
Sunday: Senga vs. Rogers

reports on Rogers this spring are good. From what I have heard a lot better than last year, except for one start he got hit hard. Mets just need to run up pitch counts on these guys and get them out early. As usual, Marlins have a questionable bullpen.

the Mets opening day record is 40-13

I'm not in NY anymore, are they widely distributed around the city (i.e., do you see them on tap at bars or see their cans at beer shops)?

It looks like a new place is opening up where McFadden's used to be.

Yeah. Ebbs has a tap room in Williamsburg (nice space) but their beer has pretty good distribution city wide. I was friendly with the brewery owner near my apt and he complained how they had "big money" behind them (he was completely unaware I knew who the Wilpons were). Their beer is pretty good, it's not particularly experimental "interesting" but it's very drinkable... and now award winning.

-Yeah McFadden's is being replaced by an Aramark/Mets owned space called "The K Korner", unfortunate name (and cheap looking logo(linked) but nice to have SOMETHING at the ballpark pre and post game

K Korner is opening where McFadden’s used to be. Going on 4/29, looking forward to checking out the Korner.
what's wrong with the K Korner name?  
KDavies : 3/30/2023 11:25 am : link
would think that's either honoring strikeouts or Kiner's Korner

DanMetroMan : 3/30/2023 11:25 am : link
not personally a fan. It's not a reference to Kiner, it's a reference to Gooden.

I may try and go to Polar Park tomorrow and see the opener if I can get away from work and get tickets at face.

If not, definitely plan to go in July. Closer to me than Pawtucket was and Polar Park is really nice. Hopefully with a different Mets lineup.

First class, Neckbone. I’m also feeling nostalgic. This day always reminds me of Gary Carter’s opening day HR

Oh, ok. Positions skipped around a bit, and the rest made sense. My mistake.

Clearly the least interesting in the system. Vasil, Hamel are the only top 30 prospects on that team, Young, Nunez, McIIwain, Senger and I guess Schwartz (I'm not a believer in very lower power 1b personally) would be the others of interest.

Looking forward to Max

Pulling out all the stops today. It will be fun to watch how he uses the pitch clock.

damn just had canha/escobar flipped. i like buck's lineup better so ill take that L. if vogey walks escobar has a better chance driving him in with a homer compared to canha since even extra base hits dont score vogey.
