"It's different... but it's worth it."
Elie Kligman is a catcher for the University of Michigan Baseball team, and he is the first Orthodox Jew to play Division I NCAA Baseball.
In a recent feature on the team, Elie's coach and teammates describe working with Elie's observance of Shabbat, along with making sure they can provide kosher food when on the road.
Despite the unique sitation, Elie is loved and embraced by his team, and is even one of their captains. ✡️💜

With that pitch, Ari becomes the 1st sabbath observant orthodox Jewish pitcher in @ncaa Division I ⚾️ history! And the 2nd player, following his big brother. Worked hard to get here. Many said could never be done. Thank you @SacStBaseball for the opportunity. #nocompromises

Meet the first Orthodox Jew to play Division I @NCAABaseball.
His name is Elie Kligman.
From sundown on Friday until nightfall on Saturday, he's unavailable to play because he observes Shabbos.
His teammates and coaches have embraced and supported him - they’re inspired by his dedication to his faith.
"Thank God we have him."

@dhurley15 @Andrew_a174 To me he’s a lottery pick if I am an NBA GM.

This Champion will make the NBA organization that drafts him better immediately…what team doesn’t need/want: Production. Winner. Worker. Highest Character. Versatile. Super Intelligent. Competitive.

@Mets AJEwing. A huge first impression in an otherwise dismal season.
English

David Stearns might go down as one of the biggest morons ever

Baltimore's Rico Garcia, the pride of the Hawaii Pacific University Sharks, might be the best reliever you don't know about. He has now faced 64 hitters this season. Dude has allowed just one hit. Some really wonky swings that inning from NYY hitters.

@stanfromwp 💯. The Knicks are playing like they can be World Champs!!! Not chumps like the Mets!
English


Joe Benigno was right about the little genius from day one. He destroyed the Mets and people won't open their eyes and see what's going on. People who still praise the little genius are fake Met fans! The Mets will lose 100 plus games every year with this dictator! @NjTank99

@RussRamblin At the end of all of this, there are going to be a lot of people that will owe Stearns an apology.
English

@EZpitchsavant @JustinCLeto @Mets Excellent Frank. You should get a press pass and ask these questions!!!!
English

Like…
1. David what is the role of the front office in making lineups, dictating bullpen and bench usage on any given day.
2. David why is the organization so dedicated to righty-lefty matchups, to the extent of batting players places in the lineup opposite of what their unique skill sets would indicate - such as Slater in the 3-hole for example.
3. Also when you preach run prevention but then start a below average defender at 3B over Baty because he bats right-handed what goes into reconciling those two things?
4. David is it true you had Jeff Albert implement a biometric baseline approach with regard to hitting at every level of the organization including the DSL back during the 2024 season and can you explain what that is and why you are choosing to use it organization wide?
5. Do you worry at all that this focus on biometrics and analytics with regard to hitting, is counterintuitive to how hitters spend a lifetime honing their swings, getting a feel for those swings and could it cause hitters to feel uncomfortable or perhaps think too much at the plate?
English

Today and tomorrow are the days for the NY media to do their jobs and ask David Stearns tough questions (assuming he has the guts to have a press conference). He assembled a complete disaster despite having unlimited money. The @Mets were designed in his image and they’re the worst team in baseball. Every other press conference has been softball questions and today should be different.
Aside from that, it is time for @StevenACohen2 to also address the media. Typically this isn’t the owner’s responsibility but he has placed himself in that position with his posts on X and his past public statements.
Mets fans deserve so much better than for baseball to be over before Memorial Day and it’s time for the leaders to be held accountable.
English

@MarkCHealey So do you fire him before the wreckage continues?
English

I wasn't happy with a lot of David Stearns' moves this offseason, but I was optimistic on Opening Day.
But what I thought, or what any of us thought, doesn't matter, because the results so far are vastly unacceptable.
Stearns watched the 2024 Mets go to the NLCS and decided to redo the pitching staff for 2025.
How did that work out?
Then, he decided to redo the Mets lineup for the 2026 season.
How's that working out?
Whether you're an analytics person or not, you cannot defend this atrocity.
Even if the #Mets were a .500 team right now, it would be unacceptable. It's far worse than that.

@MetsChronicles @Mets @StevenACohen2
What’s your take Steve?
WORST RUN TEAM IN ALL OF BASEBALL. WAKE UP COHEN!!!!!!!
