...and here we go @Mets fans, brothers and sisters!!! #LFGM

@Mets Daily, Always FREE, Always FUN Mar 25, 2026 Top 5 News Benge is the headline. He made the team after a loud spring, and the #Mets are giving him a real shot. The opener has real ceremony to it. Davey Johnson’s family will be part of the first-pitch tribute, and the team will wear a memorial patch all season. The bench is still a live puzzle. Vidal Bruján, Jared Young, and Ben Rortvedt were all traveling with the club as the final spot remained fluid. Mauricio starts in Syracuse. Not because the talent disappeared, but because the #Mets want everyday at-bats and defensive reps. Opening Day itself has some extra fan flavor. There’s a vintage Redbird subway ride to Citi Field and discounted LIRR tickets for the home opener. Very New York. Very Mets. Very “please don’t drive near the stadium if you value your soul.” randommetsfans.com/mets-daily-mar…

It is almost time @Mets fans to start to light the candles! I have mine ready for Opening Day. #LFGM

Love this gesture. One of the smartest, technical and tactical managers in baseball history. Way to go @Mets

@Mets Daily, Always FREE, Always FUN Mar 24, 2026 Carson Benge is in. The #Mets officially put their No. 16 overall prospect on the Opening Day roster after a huge spring, and Carlos Mendoza made it clear this was earned, not gifted. Craig Kimbrel is out, for now. He did not make the Opening Day roster after a shaky spring, though he’s staying with the organization and trying to work his way back. Opening Day is set. Freddy Peralta gets the ball for the Mets against Paul Skenes and the @Pirates on Thursday, March 26 at Citi Field, with first pitch scheduled for 1:15 p.m. ET. randommetsfans.com/mets-daily-mar…

@Mets fans, the more I jump into the numbers the more I start to love on new CF'er Luis Robert Jr. What happens when you drop a center fielder with 30-homer power, real closing-speed in the gap, and just enough chaos in his game to make every Mets fan both excited and mildly unstable into the middle of this lineup? Could Luis Roberts Jr become our Carlos Beltran? randommetsfans.com/what-if-luis-r…

#Mets Daily - Always FREE, Always FUN Mar 23, 2026 The @Mets wrapped spring at 12-13-2 after a 4-3 walk-off loss to @Marlins on Sunday. They scored all three runs in the fourth, then watched the lead leak out late. Mike Tauchman tore his meniscus and needs surgery, which blows open a bench and outfield roster spot right before Opening Day. Sean Manaea is opening the season in the bullpen, not the rotation, because the early off-days let the Mets ride five starters for now. Craig Kimbrel will not make the Opening Day roster. That experiment hit the wall before the games started counting. Brett Baty finished camp hot and looks lined up for a real utility role, while Carson Benge is very much in the mix as the Tauchman injury changes the math. randommetsfans.com/mets-daily-mar…

Love this dude...looks amazing

#Mets Daily, Always FREE, Always FUN Mar 20, 2026 Kodai Senga finished his spring the right way: 4 scoreless innings, 3 hits, 4 strikeouts, 1 walk in a 6-2 win over Houston. That is the kind of “yeah, we’re good here” outing you want before the real games count. Ronny Mauricio is headed to Triple-A Syracuse for everyday reps, which tells you the @Mets are leaning toward roster flexibility over keeping a talented guy in Queens to rot on the bench. Francisco Alvarez left Thursday’s game with back tightness, but the early word was precautionary, not panic-button stuff. Bo Bichette is getting a look at shortstop today against St. Louis, which is not random. That is roster-chess season, not spring-training arts and crafts. Howie Rose is retiring after the 2026 season. One of the true voices of Mets baseball is on the final lap, and that hits every fan of a certain vintage right in the ribs. randommetsfans.com/mets-daily-mar…

@MarkCHealey Mark, couldn't agree more man. Vientos deserves more runway for sure. The power is still real, 91.4 EV, 50.5% hard-hit rate, 11.5% barrel rate last year. He hit 17 HR and still profiles as a useful bat, especially vs lefties. Smart usage, not panic. #Mets

I’m not ready to give up on Mark Vientos just yet. Easy to pick on a guy when he’s struggling, but I think the Mets are better served by keeping him around for the start of the season.

#Mets Daily Always FREE, Always Fun - Mar 19 Bo Bichette carried the offense last time out. He drove in all five Mets runs in the 5-5 tie against Miami, including a three-run homer that briefly gave the @Mets control of the game. Sean Manaea looked sharp, even with the velocity chatter hanging around. He threw four no-hit innings against Miami, and while his fastball has been lighter than last year, both Manaea and Carlos Mendoza have publicly downplayed panic. Fair enough. Spring is where overreactions go to breed. Benge is making the right-field decision harder. Multiple reports have him firmly in the roster conversation, which is exactly what you want from a young player in camp: force the organization to stop speaking in vague executive poetry and make a choice. The bullpen is almost set, not fully set. Brazobán looks in, but the final relief slot still appears unsettled with names like Craig Kimbrel and lefty depth options still part of the discussion. randommetsfans.com/mets-daily-mar…

Y'all did an awesome job putting this great team together. Thank YOU for the great memories I got to share with my son watching Team Italy 🇮🇹 play

#Mets Daily Always FREE, Always FUN Mar 18 The Mets trimmed camp again, optioning MJ Melendez and Christian Scott to Triple-A while reassigning several others to minor league camp. Opening Day decisions are getting real now. Craig Kimbrel is still hanging around the bullpen picture, but the velocity concern has not gone away. That is not the kind of sentence you want attached to a late-inning arm eight days before Opening Day. Kodai Senga is lined up to start Thursday, March 19, against Houston. That is one of the cleaner “okay, now we’re getting serious” checkpoints left in camp randommetsfans.com/mets-daily-mar…

@JadePre1991 @USABaseball Totally agree with you!!!

@PaulGreco @USABaseball Right!! Terrible managing! You go with the hot hand instead of pleasing the veteran! Bring Alex in to pinch hit with the game on the line and start Henderson aka the hot hand!

I'm sorry Coach DeRo - but how do you NOT have Gunner Henderson in the lineup? This is NO time to play feelings. If this was select baseball right now, you'd have parents blowing up your phone. You better be right homie @USABaseball Lineup 1. Bobby Witt Jr., SS 2. Bryce Harper, 1B 3. Aaron Judge, RF 4. Kyle Schwarber, DH 5. Alex Bregman, 3B 6. Roman Anthony, LF 7. Will Smith, C 8. Brice Turang, 2B 9. Byron Buxton, CF

Anyone else remember when @Wendys had those awesome "Where's the beef?" Commercials. Ummmmmm, this was my burger tonight...WTF you can barely see it.

@Ben_Yoel @albanian_angry That's a bad ass picture! Pumped for tonight

Team USA goes for gold with Cowboy McLean on the mound tonight.

Thank you @VPasquantino - what a run bro. I got to see y'all in Houston and as an Italian-America, was so proud. Still get goosebumps thinking of the big win against Team USA! Thanks for all you and the team did to help grow the game.

@itsthatboymike Let's goooooo!!!!

I’M TAKING ROLL CALL OF ALL MY ITALIANS SAY HERE FORZA ITALIA 🇮🇹🇮🇹🇮🇹🤌🏼
