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

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

Classic David Stearns project, can't wait to see how this turns out
The Mets announced that they signed righthander Justin Hagenman to a one-year major-league contract.
Hagenman, 28, has never pitched in the majors. He had a 4.91 ERA with the Red Sox's Triple-A team last season, splitting time between starting and relieving.

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

More people are visiting Bluesky than Threads, even though Bluesky has far fewer users and isn’t linked to the world’s largest social network. Incredible.

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.
