Mets postgame notes 02/28: - Tobias Myers looked sharp (3 IP, 1 R, 2 hits, 4 Ks, BB). He’s gonna be a huge part of the big league roster whether that’s in the rotation or BP - Austin Warren now has 3 scoreless outings to begin his spring… 12 pitch inning. Could contribute a lot in the big league pen - Kimbrel got his first action of the spring and it was rough. He gave up a run and walked a few guys but limited the damage. Will be interesting to see how well he pitches as Spring goes on - Gerbert and Garcia both looked very sharp in quick, effective outings - Morabito continues to impress… another xbh today for him - Tauchman responded to Melendez’s big day yesterday by going 1/2 with an xbh. - Swaggy V drove a ball off the wall for an rbi double… opposite field as well (very good sign). I’m hopeful Vientos can get back to his 24 production or at least much closer to it - First pitch tomorrow 1:10 @ Clover Park. Clay Holmes will be on the bump #lgm

Austin Warren works a 1-2-3 7th inning, throwing just 13 pitches and striking out 2. #Mets

On the bench for the Mets today: A.J. Ewing and Kevin Parada In the bullpen: Huascar Brazoban, Joe Jacques, Carl Edwards Jr., Austin Warren

Two strikeouts from Austin Warren in Live BP. Velocity looked good, as did the offspeed pitches. He generated some good whiffs today. #Mets

Some more bullpen work, featuring Jonah Tong, Austin Warren, Luke Weaver, and Brooks Raley. #Mets

Happy birthday, @austinwarren96! 🎉

1 in 3 Americans have Non-Alcoholic Fatty Liver Disease and most of them have no idea. It silently leads to cancer, diabetes and heart disease yet NO medication exists for it at all. Here's how you might have fatty liver & 6 ways to reverse it naturally before it's too late: 👇 When you consume excess calories, especially from sugar and refined carbs, your liver stores fat. This destroys your health over time... It can eventually lead to liver failure. It reduces your liver's ability to regulate blood sugar, driving insulin resistance and type 2 diabetes. It damages liver cells through oxidative stress and lipotoxicity. It impairs the liver's detoxification function, allowing toxins to accumulate in your bloodstream. This increases cancer risk, particularly liver cancer and pancreatic cancer. It raises production of inflammatory proteins that damage blood vessels and increase heart disease risk. Here are some common warning signs: - Fatigue - Insulin resistance - High triglycerides - Elevated liver enzymes (ALT, AST) - Unexplained fat gain around the midsection. But many people have zero symptoms until it's advanced. Now here are 7 proven ways to prevent or reverse it naturally: 1. Minimize added sugars and refined carbs: - Soda - Pizza - Candy - Ice cream - Baked goods - Bread and pasta. 2. Drink more black coffee Studies show 2-3 cups a day can reduce liver fat by up to 20% and helps protect it against fibrosis. 3. Eat cruciferous vegetables like: - Broccoli - Cauliflower - Brussels sprouts. They contain compounds that support liver detoxification and reduce liver fat storage. 4. Resistance train (don't just do cardio) Building muscle improves insulin sensitivity and helps burn liver fat for energy. You just need 2-3 hours a week, to focus on compound exercises and to train close to failure. 5. Reduce inflammation It improves insulin sensitivity and mitochondrial fat-burning in the liver, preventing toxic fat buildup and stopping ongoing liver cell damage. - Cut out junk food - Supplement Omega-3 fatty acids - Eat more fatty fish like wild-caught salmon - Consume more Vitamin E (Avocados are high in them) - Increase your antioxidants intake (berries are a great source) 6. Lose excess body fat in general. Being in a calorie surplus and gaining body fat is the main driver of your liver storing fat in the first place. When you lose body fat with a calorie deficit, your liver is eventually forced to burn that fat. The Bottom Line: Non-Alcoholic Fatty Liver Disease is one of the most overlooked yet deadly chronic diseases. It's another example of how bad excess fat is for your health.

Congrats to The Los Angeles Dodgers and their fans. 🇺🇸 However this clip killed me. This sole reason I looked past VLAD with big Papi. My favorite player growing up. I wanted this for him!!!! Donny Baseball.

“It breaks your heart. It is designed to break your heart. The game begins in the spring, when everything else begins again, and it blossoms in the summer, filling the afternoons and evenings, and then as soon as the chill rains come, it stops and leaves you to face the fall alone. You count on it, rely on it to buffer the passage of time, to keep the memory of sunshine and high skies alive, and then just when the days are all twilight, when you need it most, it stops. Today, November 2, a Sunday of rain and broken branches and leaf-clogged drains and slick streets, it stopped, and summer was gone.” - A. Bartlett Giamatti (with a small change from October to November)
