The Mets have now won 5 straight series. Francisco Lindor is hitting, Reed Garrett looks like a gem, Starling Marte looks like the Starling Marte from 2022, but injuries to Brooks Raley and even worse Francisco Alvarez put a damper to a team who started 0-5 and is now 3 games over .500.

The Cup of Mets Squad kicks off the Hot Stove Season in quite a fashion as sources have confirmed now ex-Yankees Bench Coach Carlos Mendoza will become the 24th Manager in Mets History. We discuss the hiring, share our thoughts and opinions while also chiming in on Craig Counsell who the Baseball world by deciding to head to Chicago and manage the Cubs. Adam Ottavino also opts out and Brooks Raley opts in. This and more here in Episode 1!

If the Mets' 2-0 win over the Twins yesterday seemed like a high-wire act as far as shutouts go, that's because Tylor Megill, Phil Bickford, Trevor Gott, Brooks Raley, and Adam Ottavino combined to pitch a four-hitter whose peripherals have rarely been seen in Major League Baseball.The Twins got a triple by Willi Castro, had stolen bases from Alex Kiriloff and Royce Lewis, drew six walks, and left nine runners on base.The last time that a team gave up a triple, at least two steals, half a dozen or more walks, and nine-plus stranded runners? It was September 26, 1984, in Montreal, where Kurt Kepshire went the distance for the Cardinals with seven hits allowed, seven walks, eight strikeouts, and so much traffic that the Expos left 12 men on base, including Andre Dawson at third after his triple (and a two-out walk to Gary Carter before Dan Driessen grounded out).The 1976 Royals also got blanked at home by a hard-working Brewers trio of Bill Travers, Ray Sadecki, and Danny Frisella, failing to capitalize on a Frank White triple or seven walks, as they went 1-for-11 with runners in scoring position and White got thrown out at third on another play by Sixto Lezcano.The Yankees blanked the White Sox, 1-0, in a 13-inning game on May 24, 1968, Bobby Cox scoring the winning run on a Sandy Alomar Sr. throwing error. Before that, it's all pre-integration games: Giants-Dodgers in 1903, A's-Browns in 1914, Cardinals-Pirates in 1916, Tigers-Browns in 1922, and Giants-Pirates in 10 innings in 1946.That 1946 game is unique because Lee Handley had two triples off Giants hurler Monty Kennedy, who tossed a 10-inning complete game and was himself 2-for-3 with a double. Too bad for him and Pittsburgh, both came with two outs, and he was left at third each time, as were 10 other Pirates runners around the diamond. The Giants got the go-ahead run in the 10th when Sid Gordon walked, went to third on a Goody Rosen single, and scored on Jack Graham's fly to center. It wasn't a sacrifice fly because RBI flyouts were just RBI flyouts from 1940-54.Is it weird that four of the nine all-time stressful shutouts of this type were thrown by New York teams? Maybe. It's never easy around here, but it sure beats giving up 40. This is a public episode.

The MLB-wide OPS in 2023 is .729. So far this month, there are only four Mets above that number: Tommy Pham (1.014), Mark Canha (.865), Brandon Nimmo (.764), and Starling Marte (.735). Meanwhile, there are only four Mets pitchers who have allowed a sub-.729 (sub-.800, in fact) OPS in June: John Curtiss (.286), Dominc Leone (.412), Jeff Brigham (.466), Kodai Senga (.655), and Brooks Raley (.686). Those pitchers have accounted for 25% of the batters faced by the Mets' staff in June. The hitters have accounted for 37% of the Mets' plate appearances.It's not really a mystery why they're 2-9 this month. This is a public episode.

Episode 1 Topics: Jacob deGrom is Gone, Mets sign Justin Verlander, Mets sign Jose Quintana, Mets deal for Brooks Raley, Mets re-sign Brandon Nimmo, Mets sign David Robertson, Kodai Senga Market (filmed before he was signed by NYM), Phillies sign Taijuan Walker, & Rapid Fire Stories!!

LIVE at 8pm ET, The Metsian Podcast welcomes Passed Ball's John Pielli. John has hosted the Passed Ball Show since 2011. It can be seen/heard on YouTube, Apple Music, Spotify, and Amazon Music. He a sports historian and has a website of http://johnpielli.com.    Welp, Jacob deGrom heads to Texas on a 5-year deal worth around 187 million, which is hard to believe would have been matched by the Mets had deGrom even given them a chance to do so. Mets fans are split about the way Jacob left, feeling he's a phony all of a sudden. We'll dissect the transaction and look back on his Mets career. The Mets moved quickly to replace him and Taijuan Walker, who left on a 4-year deal down I-95 to the Phillies, with Justin Verlander and Josè Quintana on short-term deals. We'll discuss these moves and our feelings on having two 40-year olds at the top of the rotation. On top of signing Brandon Nimmo to an 8-year deal worth 162 million, they also signed David Robertson to a 1-year, 10 million dollar deal and traded a prospect to Tampa Bay for southpaw Brooks Raley. How do we feel about these moves? And how do we feel about Steve Cohen going over the tax threshold? All that and more on an action-packed episode of The Metsian Podcast!

On an emergency offseason episode of the “Amazin' But True” podcast with Jake Brown and Nelson Figueroa, the guys open the show talking about the Mets re-signing Brandon Nimmo and signing David Robertson. They also discuss signing Jose Quintana and trading for Brooks Raley. The guys talk about how important bringing Nimmo back was, what Robertson adds to the bullpen, the potential to still sign Kodai Senga and Steve Cohen's incredible spending spree. They also get into how good this team looks on paper, having so many likable players across the lineup and why this team has the potential to win it all. Learn more about your ad choices.

Jacob who? National League Town is suddenly all about likely Hall of Famer Justin Verlander. And former All-Star Jose Quintana. And lefty reliever Brooks Raley, even. The Mets are stocking up on pitchers who weren't here last year now that Jacob deGrom has departed and Taijuan Walker has walked. Greg and Jeff are rolling out the welcome wagon for all of them. Also welcome: the opportunity to honor the memory of Gil Hodges and the great alumni relations work of Jay Horwitz at this winter's Queens Baseball Convention. NLT has a special report from QBC (18:30).

ADVERTISE/LIVE BROADCAST WITH US: LockedOnRays@gmail.comThe Tampa Bay Rays are heading to Toronto for an odd 5-game series played in 4 days with a doubleheader on Saturday. They have their face of the Franchise, Wander Franco, back from the IL and will also feature their Cy Young frontrunner, Shane McClanahan. However, given the vaccination rule in Canada, the Rays will have to face the Blue Jays without the help of a couple of relievers, Ryan Thompson & high-leverage arm Brooks Raley. Will the Rays be able to come away with a victorious series? Let's hope they can do so as the last 30 days have not been kind to the Rays in the standings.Want to guest co-host on a future episode of the Locked On Rays podcast with the boys?

The audio you just heard was from Youtuber and political commentator John Doyle, as he confronted parents (child abusers), who were taking their children to an event called “Drag the kids to Pride.” Whenever I see a child who has clearly been corrupted by adults with LGBTQ agendas, I get angry at the kid’s father. Did he abandon his children to the full-time attentions of a deranged mother? Is he present but too whipped to be a strong father? What man would allow such a thing to be done to his son or daughter? Yes, the mother enrages me as well, but a society in which real men exist would never allow the over-the-top grooming and wholesale destruction of childhood innocence that goes on these days. A recent example of real men in action occurred at a disgusting grooming party in a gay bar called Mr. Misster (get it??) in Dallas, Texas. The bar held an event called “DRAG THE KIDS TO PRIDE – A Family Friendly Drag Show” on Saturday. While most of us understand that a drag show fundamentally cannot be a family-friendly event, Mr. Misster thinks it’s just fine: Mr. Misster’s Drag The Kids To Pride Drag Show provides the ultimate family friendly pride experience. This signature event is a family friendly spin off of our famed Champagne Drag Brunch, with our resident DJ Charlie Phresh playing some of your favorite hits while host Nicole O’Hara Munro brings together some of the best drag entertainers around! Our under 21 guests can enjoy a special Mr. Misster Mocktails while the moms and dads can sip on one of our classic Mr. Misster Mimosa Towers. Do you want to hit the stage with the queens? We have FIVE limited spots for young performers to take the stage solo, or with a queen of their choosing! Come hangout with the Queens and enjoy this unique pride experience, fit for guests of all ages! The show was just as horrible and inappropriate for children as you would imagine. Men cross-dressed in sexually charged costumes and danced inappropriately for children, whose parents encouraged them to hand the performers money — just like at an adult strip bar! Then the children were made part of the act. First, they were brought on stage to play a game of musical chairs while a dragged-out emcee called the shots and the audience whooped and cheered: Once the children were comfortable being the center of attention, it was time for the next step in the groomy progression. Kids were invited on stage to catwalk with the performers. “Who wants to be a diva for the day?” asked a drag queen, as several kids joined him. All of this occurred in front of a large neon sign that read, “IT’S NOT GONNA LICK ITSELF.” Watch Texas-based YouTuber and political commenter John Doyle, flanked by a diverse group of manly men, as he confronts the deranged adults dragging their kids into (emotional disorders) pride… now I’ll also warn you, there is some language from a woman wearing a “love is love” shirt coming… https://twitter.com/i/status/1533119833377734657 - Play whole video I find it ironic when that screaming banshee says “you’re scaring the children!” Then proceeds to carpet bomb the heroic men with F-Bombs… Club Membership Plug: Stuff like this, is why we need to stop and take a moment to talk about Fight Laugh Feast Club membership.

We had 490,000 structure fires in 2020 in the United States. We see a lot of fires every year.” Last month, rumors began to circulate on social media that a string of fires and other destructive incidents, including a plane crash, at food processing plants throughout the United States appeared suspicious—despite no law enforcement officials saying that was the case. Conspiracy theorists implied the blazes were connected in some way and even that the federal government could have something to do with them. The rumors came to a head on April 22, when Fox News host Tucker Carlson stoked the conspiracy theorists’ flames, asking his viewers, “What’s going on here?” https://twitter.com/i/status/1517341372851703808 -Play Video According to NFPA.org, The truth, however, is that nothing is unusual about any of the fires that have occurred in food processing plants over the first few months of the year. Although no data is kept on fires that occur strictly at food processing facilities, the National Fire Incident Reporting System tracks fires within broader categories like manufacturing, refrigerated storage, and agricultural facilities. In 2019, the number of fires at all manufacturing or processing plants in the country topped 5,300—nearly 15 a day. Additionally, more than 2,000 fires occurred in agricultural, grain and livestock, and refrigerated storage facilities, which could all include food processing operations. Okay so maybe it is a conspiracy theory, but I’m just saying, conspiracy theorists have been proved right a lot lately. Democratic congressman proposes 1,000% tax on certain firearms https://www.foxbusiness.com/politics/democratic-congressman-proposes-tax-firearms A U.S. House Democrat is proposing a federal 1,000% excise tax on assault weapons, and wants to pass it through reconciliation. Rep. Donald Beyer, D-Va., is introducing the bill which would tax all AR-15-style weapons at 1,000%, according to Business Insider. Beyer, a member of the House Ways and Means Committee and chairman of the Joint Economic Committee, told Business Insider that the measure is "sensible gun control." "What it's intended to do is provide another creative pathway to actually make some sensible gun control happen," Beyer said. "We think that a 1,000% fee on assault weapons is just the kind of restrictive measure that creates enough fiscal impact to qualify for reconciliation." A 1,000% tax on AR-15 style guns could add as much as $5,000 to $20,000 to the sale price, as the price for them is typically from $500 to over $2,000. The report states that several details of the bill aren't finalized yet, according to the report. Under the legislation which Beyer will propose, bullets would not be included in the 1,000% tax, but high-capacity magazines that have the ability to carry more than 10 rounds of ammunition would be included. He told Business Insider that he's open to discussing the high-percentage tax. "There's nothing magical about that thousand percent number. It's severe enough to actually inhibit and restrict sales. But also successful enough that it's not seen as an absolute ban." That bill just screams freedom doesn’t it?

US gas averaged $2.39 per gallon the day of President Biden's inauguration. It's since risen dramatically to $4.82 per gallon. Amid rising prices, the White House's official position has been to blame Russian President Vladimir Putin. Following Russia's invasion in Ukraine, the global economy largely sanctioned Russian oil. Meanwhile, President Biden claims he is largely helpless to stem the skyrocketing gasoline prices, as well as those of food items. "There’s a lot going on right now, but the idea we’re gonna be able to, you know, click a switch, bring down the cost of gasoline is not likely in the near term, nor is it with regard to food," he said during a recent speech. Biden's critics say the president's policies are largely responsible for runaway national inflation. For example, Biden famously stopped construction of the Keystone XL pipeline, a project that could have solved America's energy crisis. Now it’s time for the topic I love… sports! Some good news out of Tampa Bay… Several Rays players break from organization's Pride Night logos, citing religious reasons https://www.foxnews.com/sports/rays-players-break-pride-night-logos-religious The Rays have been celebrating Pride Night 16 years, but that hasn’t stopped Some Tampa Bay Rays players from reportedly breaking from the organization’s support of the LGBTQ+ community Saturday during the team’s Pride Night against the Chicago White Sox. Most Rays players were wearing rainbow logos on their caps and sleeves. But the Tampa Bay Times noted that pitchers Jason Adam, Jalen Beeks, Brooks Raley, Jeffrey Springs and Ryan Thompson were among those who didn’t wear the logos of support. Adam made a statement on behalf of the players who opted out and cited religious beliefs. "A lot of it comes down to faith, to like a faith-based decision. So it’s a hard decision. Because, ultimately, we all said what we want is them to know that all are welcome and loved here," he said, via the Tampa Bay Times. "But when we put it on our bodies, I think a lot of guys decided that it’s just a lifestyle that maybe — not that they look down on anybody or think differently — it’s just that maybe we don’t want to encourage it if we believe in Jesus, who’s encouraged us to live a lifestyle that would abstain from that behavior. Just like (Jesus) encourages me as a heterosexual male to abstain from sex outside of the confines of marriage. It’s no different. "It’s not judgmental. It’s not looking down. It’s just what we believe the lifestyle he’s encouraged us to live, for our good, not to withhold. But, again, we love these men and women, we care about them and we want them to feel safe and welcome here." According to the newspaper, the Rays wanted full participation from all players but gave the option to "opt in." Wrapping up sports, last night, game 2 of the NBA Finals took place in San Francisco California… The Boston Celtics shocked many, myself included in game 1 of the finals, as they defeated the Warriors 120-108. The Celtics had a chance to do the unthinkable last night… going up 2-0 at Golden State… well, there’s a reason it’s unthinkable, because it didn’t happen. Golden State took game 2 by a score of 107-88. Throughout the first half it was close, with the Celtics’ defense really stifling the Warriors’ offense. However, in the third quarter, the Warriors blew the doors off of the C’s, winning the quarter 35-14. Steph Curry lead the way for the Warriors with 29 points, while Jordan Poole, the third splash brother added 17. On the Celtics’ side, Jayson Tatum showed up with 28 points, but had an ugly second half, while Jaylen Brown added 17 points. Game 3 takes place in Boston, at 9PM ET. Before we go, how about a little history… I noticed Google had a little gif in honor of Angelo Moriondo of Turin Italy. Apparently he’s the inventor of the Espresso Machine, and it’s his 171st birthday! Moriondo presented his invention at the General Expo of Turin in 1884, where it was awarded the bronze medal. The patent was awarded for a period of six years on 16 May 1884 under the title of "New steam machinery for the economic and instantaneous confection of coffee beverage, method ‘A. Moriondo’." The machine was built by a mechanic named Martina, working under the direct supervision of the inventor. It was successively updated with a patent on 20 November 1884, Vol 34, No, 381.The invention was then confirmed by international patent application after being registered in Paris on 23 October 1885. In the following years, Moriondo continued to improve his invention drastically, each improvement being patented Moriondo never took the invention to industrial-scale production. He limited himself to the construction of a few hand-built machines, which he jealously conserved in his establishments, convinced that this was a significant advertisement for them. Ian Bersten, a historian chronicling the history of coffee, describes the device as "the first Italian bar machine that controlled the supply of steam and water separately through the coffee" and Moriondo as "one of the earliest discoverers of the espresso machine".[8] Unlike true espresso machines, it was a bulk brewer, and did not brew coffee for the individual customer.

Some very white members of the Tampa Bay Rays decided to “opt out” of wearing Pride patches in a game against the White Sox over the weekend. You're reading that correctly.

The patent was awarded for a period of six years on 16 May 1884 under the title of "New steam machinery for the economic and instantaneous confection of coffee beverage, method ‘A. Moriondo’." The machine was built by a mechanic named Martina, working under the direct supervision of the inventor. It was successively updated with a patent on 20 November 1884, Vol 34, No, 381.The invention was then confirmed by international patent application after being registered in Paris on 23 October 1885. In the following years, Moriondo continued to improve his invention drastically, each improvement being patented Moriondo never took the invention to industrial-scale production. He limited himself to the construction of a few hand-built machines, which he jealously conserved in his establishments, convinced that this was a significant advertisement for them. Ian Bersten, a historian chronicling the history of coffee, describes the device as "the first Italian bar machine that controlled the supply of steam and water separately through the coffee" and Moriondo as "one of the earliest discoverers of the espresso machine".[8] Unlike true espresso machines, it was a bulk brewer, and did not brew coffee for the individual customer.
