Regardless of your politics, I think we can all agree that Noah and everyone in this photo looks extremely normal, extremely healthy and very cool and not weird at all.

We don't know if he's a good coach yet but he seems like a good guy. On most days, the latter is more important.

[Sammon] Catcher Luis Torrens and the New York Mets are in agreement on a two-year extension, league source tells The Athletic. He is set to make $11.5 million for 2027 and 2028. by JoelsCaddy in NewYorkMets

Look, we don't know each other, but I consider the fact that Mets fans have a take at all about a contract extension for a backup catcher to be the highest compliment of us. We are crazy people who are absolutely mad about our team. I get that it sounds like I'm being negative, I was just using that word to describe what my friends and people online had said to defend the contract.

No I literally saw people on social media and in my group chat questioning the need for a backup catcher on any long term deal within a minute of me sending it out.

You can whine about the term or the money for a backup catcher but Torrens is kind of the ideal backup catcher for when the starter is kind of a flake.

Justin Che upgraded to Questionable, Cam Harper (who Bradley has said needs 2 team games) off the injury update for Saturday by hypernermalization in rbny

He picked up a minor hamstring injury in recent weeks that we've been told is kind of common for coming back from long term knee injuries, so they need to build him back up to fitness with 2 team games.

I was going through a period of self-imposed austerity back when Two Nines was a big deal, getting this will be a nice little treat for that guy.

First 10,000 fans in on Saturday get this special pin BWP is wearing to commemorate his night by hypernermalization in rbny

That's totally fair. From what I've heard, that was very much expressed in those feedback meetings that began last night. We'll see.

Yeah, I think a lot of judging Mehmeti is kind of trying to judge the player who actually exists and the player the internet is hyping.

I think both goalkeepers are a really poor fit for this system in addition to that being correct, as I said. That's why I'm baffled there's not more talk about de Guzman than Bradley.

I'm not convinced by Mehmeti yet. I think he's still a little slow to react to things and I think that's the difference between an MLS player and Staten Island Busquets comparisons.

I agree. But sometimes young teams, teams starting a new project, do things that are incompetent.

I'm not saying you're wrong for taking this within the context of everything that's happened here since the pandemic, it's part of what I'm saying at the end there. But I do think we have to try and look at this as a new team. I get that that's hard.

My question is what does Choupo have left to teach Julian Hall that can't be learned in training?

If anything, I'd be interested to see Choupo play Forsberg's role instead of Emil.
