Nice spot for #Mets minor league LHP Andrew Mitchell to lock down the final three outs with a strikeout tonight. Huge curveball with 65 inches of drop here.

Adjustment to Chris Bassitt's final line. He just came back out for the fourth and set 'em down in order.

NY Post: Mets give mixed reviews of new PitchCom device for pitch signals - “'I really like it,' Carlos Carrasco said Thursday after using it in an intrasquad game. For others, not so much. 'No, and I won’t [use it],' Max Scherzer said. 

Brian Joura Mets360: MLB experiments with new device to eliminate sign stealing. Brian opines: "This seems like an excellent idea to me. Yet, it’s not too difficult to imagine people being distraught that it’s but another way that technology is taking over the game." (Subscription required).

213 Miles to Shea: Get To Know A Non-Roster Invitee: Chasen Shreve.

213 Miles to Shea: Get To Know A Non-Roster Invitee – Josh Walker.

213 Miles to Shea: Get To Know A Non-Roster Invitee: Antonio Santos.

Mets Daddy: Buck Showalter Showing Shades Of Bobby Valentine. "During Spring Training, Buck Showalter has made it a point to bring Keith Hernandez down to the field. In fact, as reported by Bob Klapisch of nj.com, Showalter removed the old rule which banned Hernandez from the batting cages."

Metsmerized: Showalter Righting Old Regime’s Treatment of Keith Hernandez "With Showalter proving why experience is key, his first major move and indeed win has been striving to include Hernandez more and tap into his wealth of knowledge."

Amazing Avenue: Mark Canha will try to find consistency in Queens. Canha followed three solid seasons in Oakland with an uneven 2021, hindered by a hip issue.
