@washingtonpost It is a sham suit that should be dismissed quickly, and whoever is signing that suit could be asking for trouble from the DC bar, not because the DC bar is vengent like the Trump administration but because of Rule 11

The Trump administration is suing the D.C. Bar Association over its recommendation to disbar Jeffrey Clark, a former Justice Dept. official who violated legal ethics in his efforts to overturn the 2020 presidential election in Trump's favor. wapo.st/4fhRlWT

@ernestdove So used to good than bad within seconds with this team

Well that was bad and good within seconds for Mets!

@ernestdove @WillSammon Reminder how we got him…

I'm told AJ Ewing will be in the lineup tomorrow playing CF. Obviously also confirms @WillSammon credit first report on the call up.

@ernestdove With the graduation of Carson Benge from Mets prospect list today, Yovanny Rodriguez reenters Mets MLB pipeline top 30. Top 3 soon.

Mets C prospect Yovanny Rodriguez finished his day 4 for 5 with 2 HR and a walk in FCL. Definitely want him spending more time down there but great start to season.

@charlescwcooke @JonahDispatch Without bias or spin, I struggle to understand why Trump doesn’t just demand that Congress pass the tariffs. I do not recall a time in the last 50 years that you had congressional majority that was as obedient to a president.

In reality he’s slamming Article I of the Constitution, which gives this power to Congress, and Congress for not using it to pass the tariffs he wants. The Court is just upholding the law.

@JordanRaanan Just to remind everybody, while that fourth QB is typically an extra arm for camp and possibly PS, a few years ago one became Giants starting QB (DeVito)

The #Giants have 3 quarterbacks trying out at rookie minicamp: Sawyer Robertson (Baylor) Evan Simon (Temple) Matt Sluka (James Madison) Only 2 veteran tyrouts: TE Josiah Deguara OLB Quinton Bell

@oLumenn @Metsmerized I know coming in the plan was to get through 8 with the 3 RPs who didn’t pitch yesterday, including Kimbrel in 8th. CK was terrible, as was Myers yesterday (which resulted in short pen today)

@Metsmerized i dont understand this whole game, its like they wanted to punt from pitch 1

@EarthFirstVoter @AndrewDesiderio @Zprtr1 Twitter left is the fringe - that’s you

@AndrewDesiderio @Zprtr1 Then why does he go on Fox every week to complain about Dems??? AFAIK he doesn’t go on MSnow. I still think he’d make a better Republican.

Fetterman says he won’t switch parties: “I’d be a terrible Republican who still votes overwhelmingly with Democrats.” Says “fringe” has taken over “I remain strongly pro-choice, pro-weed, pro-LGBT, pro-SNAP, pro-labor and even pro-rib-eye over bio slop.” washingtonpost.com/opinions/2026/…

@mikemayer22 Logan Verrett doesn’t make this list, but his 8 inning one run spot start at Coors Field after Mets pitching got crushed was both spectacular and unexpected

Mets starters with an outing of at least 5 innings and no earned runs at Coors Field: Freddy Peralta Taijuan Walker Jacob deGrom Marcus Stroman Dillon Gee Johan Santana Mike Pelfrey x2 Steve Trachsel Pete Harnisch

@William_Wildcat @SNY_Mets @AnthonyDiComo Plenty of teams win with bad managers and lose with good managers. Managers get fired when the team needs a change.

@dshotlander @SNY_Mets @AnthonyDiComo Could be right. Just fire him for (be)cause

Luke Weaver offers up his perspective on the Mets' struggles: "I've been sitting here trying to think about what to even say to you guys and what you're even going to ask. At the end of the day, this pursuit of perfection is an ultimate pressurized failure mindset. Everybody wants to be the hero because we care and we want to win really, really bad. I just don't think success lives in that realm. It truly doesn't. The freedom with which we play day-to-day is kind of being suffocated a little bit. I want to do my job, it's that simple - there's moments that feel really close, and then there's mistakes that magnify our situation. I sit there and feel the weight of the world, like I let the team down... We sit there and we tell you guys, 'It'll come. This is the game. This is the law of averages.' But those words just don't hold the same weight when you continue to [lose] day after day. The encouragement and motivation to pursue being the best person and best baseball player you can be is the only answer. Until we prove that, I understand the grievances from the outsiders."

@ernestdove Most of the Mets lineup can crush AAA pitching, so guys who are crushing AAA pitching are not likely to fix this. Mauricio was just hitting in AAA.

Christian Pache is hitting in AAA. Christian Arroyo is hitting in AAA Nick Morabito is a top prospect already on 40man. With that said I expect new guy off the street takes Luis Robert spot.

@AnthonyDiComo Releasing Peterson would be a good start

"We have to be better. There's no excuses." But how can the Mets be better with this type of starting pitching? mlb.com/news/david-pet…

@washingtonpost I think I am far from the only American who thinks that both men over 80 are/were grossly unfit. If pointing to Biden‘s mental fitness was really the only response to that question that is actually an incredibly damning response.

Rep. Sara Jacobs (D-California) asked Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth whether President Trump “is mentally stable enough” to run the nation’s military. Hegseth rebutted by asking about former president Joe Biden’s mental fitness. Follow the hearing here: wapo.st/48skBGu

@AnthonyDiComo It’s 1 run. Lindor hit a lead off home run, and then the next dozen NYM made outs, team scored one run. So in short, likely not.

Is the Mets' fortune finally turning? It's a first-pitch homer for Bo Bichette:

@AnthonyDiComo There is a great lefty, righty symmetry to this lineup, as if that matters when none of them can hit any pitching

Mets Game 29 of 162, vs. WAS Tuesday, April 28, 7:10 p.m. ET RHP Zach Littell (0-3, 7.56) Bichette 3B Soto DH Alvarez C Melendez LF Vientos 1B Baty RF Semien 2B Benge CF Mauricio SS - Holmes RHP (2-2, 2.10)

@washingtonpost If someone is shocked by the use of bible teachings to justify violence, then they really need to learn religious and military history

Breaking news: The alleged gunman at the White House correspondents’ dinner was deeply Christian in college. Ex-classmates who knew Cole Tomas Allen say they were shocked by messages in which he appeared to use biblical teachings to justify violence. wapo.st/4eg5S4Z

@AnthonyDiComo Prediction - rankings won’t be much worse rest of the way

Mets offensive ranks through 28 games: Runs: 30th Runs/game: 30th Home runs: 28th AVG: 27th OBP: 30th SLG: 30th wOBA: 30th wRC+: 30th OPS: 30th OPS+: 30th

@ernestdove Mets should keep Edwards in the rotation and see if he’s good, perhaps ends up with trade value. Senga should never pitch again for Mets and if/when he does, I will not be watching.

Happy for Carl Edwards Jr. Super cool dude. Deserves more MLB success.

@ernestdove Baty just struck out without swinging at a pitch in the strike zone, and I feel like that is most of ABs, not swinging at pitches in the strike zone and swinging at a ton of pitches outside of it. How is he that bad at knowing the strike zone?

Its amazing how this 3-1 Mets deficit feels like 13-1.
