I am not an Angel Hernandez fan, but the strike zone on the broadcast brought so much more criticism to umpires in recent years. And those K zones or whatever you want it to call it are not accurate, nor even consistent between broadcasts of the same pitch.

The fact that there was an Angel Hernández puff piece last week makes me wonder if part of the deal is "we'll use our connections at the Athletic to have them write something nice about you."

Not suggesting he was correct but expected far worse based on reputation. I kinda think his biggest issue was that he chose to be confrontational when questioned.

“After a doubleheader sweep, the Mets are at risk of entering June at 10 games under .500 for the first time in 23 years.” Is that good?

The official incorporation of the Negro League stats into the MLB record book is very cool. I'm just relieved that Willie Mays remained above .300, even if he dropped to .301. Too bad they couldn't officially find his home run and bump him up to 661, though.

As much as I'd like to watch Tarik Skubal pitch, boy am I happy the Red Sox miss him in the upcoming series. He's struck out 6 through 3IP.

All this happens while Pete Alonso gets hit in the wrist. I don’t even know what you do if you’re the Mets except find something peaceful to do until the trade deadline and then hope Cohen and Stearns break out the wallet

Bitters are hitting .188 on balls in play and he averaging 4.4bb/9. Screaming for regression.

Imagine if, when that trade went down, Preller had been offered King but was like "no I think Luis Gil is better." There would've been riots. That would be roughly the equivalent of Justin Slaten moving to the rotation in the second half, being good, and then another team requesting Hunter Dobbins or Angel Bastardo instead of him. Like yeah, maybe Angel Bastardo ends up better in 2025 than a Justin Slaten who proves himself to be an effective starter in 2024... but you certainly wouldn't want to build your team predicting that would happen.
Also, the Padres flipped Drew Thorp, acquired in the same trade, for Dylan Cease.
