@Prospect_Tilt My scouting eye has zeroed in on Seattle A-Rod as a key comp

The Mets are a disaster & Luis Robert Jr. is on the shelf A.J. Ewing is versatile and can play at the minimum Center and 2B - it seems like the A.J. Ewing talks will intensify as we hit the summer months Here are some MiLB historical comps and potential MLB outcomes for Ewing

@alexknyc1979 @GoodFundies True

@basedgodzilla @GoodFundies Except for Williams

Everyone thought David Stearns was a genius for paying absurd AAVs on short deals to players that suck instead of being smart and selective on longer deals for better players. Why sign players who might suck in 2030 when you can overpay for players that suck right now?

@wow1814819 @JunruWu43810 I would do shameful things to get Yordan in a Mets uniform, I wish it to be possible

Yeah get cooked by BASSITT in 2026 I’m so fucking done trade everyone on this fucking miserable team

This is the problem with hindsight, Mets fans were by and large doing cartwheels when Stearns re-signed the "tribal chief." For the most part Stearns moves have been celebrated, the exceptions being maybe Montas and Semien.

@JunruWu43810 @wow1814819 Shego

@basedgodzilla @wow1814819 Is that Viper in Valorant?

@Ian_OConnor It's hardly for lack of trying. He has spent outrageous amounts of money and waited to hire who everyone believed to be the best possible executive.

As a Mets savior, Steve Cohen has been as big a disappointment as his team nytimes.com/athletic/72359…

Two things can be true at once: 1- Stearns was correct to part ways with an ageing core 2- He did a terrible job of replacing it

@GlobalBoxOffice @grok is it going to pass $1 Billion?

SUPER MARIO GALAXY MOVIE crossed the $800M mark at the global box office this SATURDAY, the first movie in the world to hit this milestone since AVATAR: FIRE AND ASH. This includes the BEST opening of the year for an American movie in Japan, where it debuted with $11M this weekend.

@kylecorwintakes It's insane how much run the Mark Canha foodie interview gets

The thing about MLB.TV is you're gonna see the same three commercials all game every game for the entire season and you're gonna like it

@Mets @grok What are the potential timelines for returning from calf tightness and likelihood of each?

Francisco Lindor was removed from tonight's game with left calf tightness.

@mikepiazza31 @nut_history Mike, there is no way you couldn't outhit Jorge Polanco, Brett Baty and Mark Vientos TODAY.

@nut_history A few…

Out of hundred of 95MPH fastballs how many do you think you could hit? Probably zero for me.

@aakashgupta Meanwhile Mario Galaxy is going to cruise past $1B on a $110M budget. That's real cinema.

Christopher Nolan just showed Trojan Horse footage from The Odyssey at CinemaCon. The business math behind this movie is wild. $250 million budget. His most expensive film ever. First movie shot entirely on IMAX 70mm cameras. No franchise, no sequel, no superhero IP. The source material is a 3,000-year-old poem. IMAX opening weekend tickets went on sale a full year before release. They sold out in 12 hours. $1.5 million in ticket revenue before a single TV spot aired. The trailer pulled 121.4 million views in 24 hours. More than Universal's Wicked sequel. More than double what Oppenheimer's first trailer did in the same window. Today's footage confirmed Charlize Theron is playing Calypso, the nymph who kept Odysseus trapped on her island for seven years. The scene opens with Damon asking her "How long have I been here?" He can't remember if he had a wife or a son. That's pure Nolan. Starting the story in captivity, with a man who's lost his own identity. The same filmmaker who opened Memento backwards. The cast is absurd: Damon, Holland, Hathaway, Pattinson, Zendaya as Athena, Lupita Nyong'o, Theron, Bernthal as Menelaus, Safdie as Agamemnon, Mia Goth, Leguizamo, Elliot Page, Travis Scott. Nolan joked it would be faster to list who isn't in it. His last five films averaged $680 million worldwide. Oppenheimer made $976 million with an R rating and a three-hour runtime about a physicist. Every studio spent the last decade convinced original films can't open big. Nolan's response: adapt the oldest story in Western literature. Homer's been in public domain for about 2,500 years. Nolan IS the franchise. His name on a poster does what a superhero logo used to do. Universal figured this out when they signed him after Warner Bros let him walk over a streaming window dispute. Twenty years of partnership, gone. July 17. IMDb's most anticipated film of 2026. Built from a poem your ninth-grade English teacher assigned.

@JeffPassan Why haven't the Mets paid Brett Baty like this yet?

The latest megadeal for a top young player: Shortstop Kevin McGonigle and the Detroit Tigers are in agreement on an eight-year, $150 million contract extension. A massive windfall that locks up the 21-year-old well into the next decade.

The replacement bat is Bichette, they never claimed Polanco and Vientos would produce like Pete. And failing to find an adequate 1B doesn't make Pete's contract any less ridiculous.

@jordanreviewsit Seems familiar @Majewra
